Dunno. poor reviews: "Too many idle scenes. Script and transition is bad. But the actors was good. The whole movie can be done in 15 to 20 minutes, tops; yet they expanded to 1hr 15min. Don’t be afraid to use the FF button, a lot!"

What the heck?! I don't even know how I should rate this. It wasn't bad but wasn't great but also, WHAT THE HECK?! So...I dunno. Is he dead? Is he not dead? Was it a dream? How much of it was real? How much actually happened? How & when'd he die? Did they actually get married & he die during?? Or was there no wedding? Do I give it 4 stars? 6?

Mleh. Can't recommend; though the acting is good (esp the granny). (WinTeam getting their own series: Between Us). Worst soundtrack - laughably bad. PG-13. Watch ep 13 if looking for WinTeam CP

9. Call It What You Want
Thai Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
Alright. A critique on toxic side of BL industry (like what Lovely Writer is doing but a bit diff; based on true events) Long haired guy looks much older in poster than trailers so I don't think the BL director-BL actor ship will be a weird ship as I previously feared. Ep. 1 was really slow. PG-13

15. Contei ao pôr do sol sobre você
Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes
Can't rate or recommend. very popular, but I have been trying to force myself to continue it for weeks, but it's almost torture. PG-13. It's quite slow-paced & lingering/sentimental. Has a second season called "I promised you the moon" & a side story on YT to go in between the seasons

18. Dark Blue Kiss
Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
YESS. PeteKao is one of the superior BL CPs, imo. Has 2 couples and both well thought out, developed. It's a very well-made, realistic, & normalized. Top shelf BL. This is now my fav intro (i'm sorry i ever skipped it-the drama! the violins! gasp!) Pete's dad is best character of all BL's ever and every drama parent ever. PG-13. DBK is one of the best made BLs to exist.
*be sure to watch all petekao series IN ORDER (so many get it wrong) It goes: >PeteKao Kiss Me Again >Our Sky >DBK (our sky is just a bonus story)
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUiBwT9KNehbmOlKI-ccnox7njjChoKZv
Yes. Jealousy is a big part of this one but it's not a toxic or annoying kind. 1) Pete is a jealous person by nature. They talk about it. Understand the following to truly appreciate the drama & get the message : 2) Their relationship began because of feelings of jealousy & possessiveness. That's how Pete knew he liked Kao. 3) They've been dating for 4 years but only 2 people know (Pete's dad & Sandy. Kao's mom suspects but they think she doesn't know). Pete's jealously is partly bc he feels insecure in the relationship. No one knows they are in one, so people hit on Kao, AND if they ever break up, nobody would know. It'd be like their relationship never happened. So, for these reasons, I am fully okay with Pete's jealousy in DBK. It makes sense: 1) he's a jealous person by nature, and 2) he's insecure about their relationship bc it's kept secret. So don't let the "jealousy" deter you. DBK= remarkably thoughtful & normalized BL relationships.

Alright. Has draggy parts & gaps that don't matter; music during scenes is poor. G because Chinese BLs tend to censor out any PDA from script, btw. Unhappy ending but still looks pretty good. Fantasy.
Thinking about watching this one all together on the TV via YouTube since it's highly censored. I like it's theme song

Love the song at the end. Hauntingly beautiful and perfect for drama. Mini series. horror/emo. I like the sad ending. Making guy A be 100% responsible for the death of his lover & friend right after saying such cruel words... is delicious. PG-13

YOOOO ... Look at who plays the 2 leads! LJH (Lee Je Hoon) from "Move to Heaven" & the ML from "My Shy Boss" (these 2 have been in several more things I've seen too) - mind blown. Major props to them doing this so early on...& so well acted. Movie. PG-13/R
https://youtu.be/n4we-Ivd8MM only 29 mins of the actual drama; rest of the 54 min runtime is bts & extended/extra scene (Same one is also here: https://www1.dramacool.ch/just-friends-2009-episode-1.html ) There's a scene after the credits dance number, then, it's really over.

Thai Drama - 2019, 3 episodes
DARK. R. Darker than expected. Kinda boring too so I've only made it through #1, skipped around #2, (I already knew ending of #3 bcuz of spoilers in the comments on MDL), & then put it on hold. Thought it was just going to be about cyber-bullying/bullying but I was wrong (intense physical assault followed by rape+suicide). Commend production for portraying rape & its aftereffects realistically & not as a "path to romance/relationship." High reviews; tackles heavy topics; watch if in mood for that kind of thing. Goes like, #1: Light/"fluffy"->#2: Dark/the assault->#3: Darker/the effects

53. O Indomável
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
G (Though based on BL novel, it is still a Chinese drama, so you'll have to appreciate subtle things. Read YT comments for symbolisms or references to novel or sneaky moments director pulled to pass censorship . Like the theme song. It'd probably get a higher rating if I had watched all of it, but I just wanted moments centered on LZ+WY.
The Special Edition extends, adds, removes, & alters scenes from the OG in order to enhance main ship storyline. You may need to watch OG for full comprehension, & if you want more for other characters arcs bc Special does cut out some good things.
