QL Recap for Week 23

The 1st of June to the 7th of June 2026 Shows are listed in order of how much I'm enjoying them

🇹🇭 Fourever You Part 2

Episode 20 of 24 || Airing on: WeTV, Thursday

I'm enjoying this a lot! Both of these siblings are quite emotionally stunted which I'm loving. They don't know how to express their feelings but at least they seem to be trying. I just love them both so much!

🇹🇭 Love upon a Time

Episode 11 of 12 || Airing on: iQiYi, Friday

This was a really good episode! I really liked how each reveal happened. They kept the suspense alive really well which I enjoyed. Can I have the next episode now please?! I will admit though that I've had a certain amount of second pairing syndrome with this show so I was sad to see that we didn't get to experience Pun and Thi figuring out their shit in the future.

🇹🇭 Ticket to Heaven

Episode 2 of 6 || Airing on: Youtube, Saturday

The looks these two give each other are so loaded it's crazy! Fourth and Gemini really are delivering with this show. My one gripe is that we seem to be montaging through some of time where they're getting closer and that frustrates me. I'm assuming it's a choice they made because they didn't have the budget set for the longer run time, which fits with GMMTVs track record because they continuously make budget choices I don't agree with because they work against telling the story of the show. Hopefully it won't affect the overall show too much but we'll have to wait and see.

🇯🇵 Fake Fact Lips

Episode 7 of 10 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Thursday

I love that they're still antagonizing each other, like their personalities didn't disappear when they got together. Could do without the third wheel rival but I'm still enjoying this.

🇹🇭 Your Dear Daddy

Episode 5 of 8 || Airing on: iQiYi, Saturday

Wow Saitharn's backstory was way wilder than I thought it would be based on the previous episodes. No wonder he's traumatized! Saitharn has been so self-reliant for so long so I'm really looking forward to seeing Sila taking care of him next episode. I'm really enjoying this!

🇹🇭 A Dog and a Plane

Episode 2 of 10 || Airing on: Youtube, Friday

GMMTV has disappointed me with the last couple of shows so I was really trying to hold out with this one so I'd know if it stuck the landing before I started it but, as is obvious by it being on this list, I've succumbed and have now caught up on all the aired episodes. So far it's looking promising because the first two episodes were really good. I love the characters and their dynamics so I really hope this show sticks the landing.

🇹🇼 Wishing upon the Shooting Stars

Episode 12 of 12 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Thursday

This final actually stuck the landing pretty well which I was pleasantly surprised about. I would have loved some more time for them to expand on the world building and lore but I'm still decently happy about this show as whole. One thing I wish they'd done different is the intro because I don't really feel like it fits the plot of the show and is actually a little misleading.

🇰🇷 Love Class Season 3

Episode 4 of 16 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Thursday

I loved Love Class 2 so I'm hopeful this will be similarly good. It looks like Thailand has their fingers in this one which is curious. If it'll help South Korea's BL industry through this rough patch it's been having for the last couple of years I'm all for it. I've enjoyed the first 4 episodes very much, so so far it seems to be working. Hope this very short runtime doesn't become a thing though because it's just too short, though the double episodes help.

🇹🇭 Crazy Love, Moo-Moo!

Episode 5 of 10 || Airing on: ?, Saturday

Boss and Noeul just kiss so pretty! I'm glad it turned out that Moo had already had feelings for Fu. If I ignore the fart humor, this show is hitting really well with its comedy. I'm intrigued about Thian though because why exactly did we get the scene of him masturbating. I want to know more!!

🇹🇭 ChermChey

Episode 4 of 10 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Tuesday

Plot what plot! >.< ... but it's very pretty so I'm enjoying it. Weirdly I felt like the meeting with all the other couples was very much a mixed bag of acting, but oh well.

🇹🇭 Flower Boy

Episode 7 of 8 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Saturday

I don't believe a single word the uncle has said and neither should Scent. I wish they'd done a better job of creating and introducing the Mudan lore because some of it feels a little random but otherwise this is a decent offer.

🇹🇭 Love of Silom

Episode 8 of 12 || Airing on: WeTV, Friday

It's still good but it lost me somewhere along the way and now I don't really care much about this show so I'm going to do myself a favor and drop it.

🇹🇭 4 Elements: The Air

Episode 4 of 8 || Airing on: iQiYi, Saturday

I'm going to have to bow out of this one because I'm not nearly invested enough in the romance to sit through the thinner plot and writing.

That's it for this week!!

QL Recap for Week 26

The 22nd of June to the 28th of June 2026 Shows are listed in order of how much I'm enjoying them

🇹🇭 Payback

Episode 5 of 10 || Airing on: iQiYi, Saturday

It was so very satisfying to see Sun getting at least some revenge on the cronies though seeing Sky break like that put a damper on things. I find it super interesting that this show is not shying away from the questionable consent between Sun and Jay. If this had been a Mame show so many people would have been complaining but so far I haven't seen anything. Hopefully it means the QL crowd has grown in the past couple of years as the genre has also grown and evolved. Can't wait for next weeks episode!

🇯🇵 Fake Fact Lips

Episode 10 of 10 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Thursday

I love a good special episode where we get to see the couple be domestic. These two are still the same even after they've gotten together which is so good to see. This show very much stuck the landing for me and I would highly recommend it.

🇹🇭 Fourever You Part 2

Episode 23 of 24 || Airing on: WeTV, Thursday

I'm going to miss them so much! Hope we get confirmation for all three pairings that the person on the receiving end is also absolutely in love with the other.

🇹🇭 Ticket to Heaven

Episode 5 of 6 || Airing on: Youtube, Saturday

Fourth and Gemini are killing it but damn it hurts seeing Tanrak come to all the wrong conclusions because of religion. There seems to only be one episode left which I don't quite know how I feel about. Even though this show has been so very good I do think it could have been better with more screen time.

🇹🇭 Your Dear Daddy

Episode 8 of 8 || Airing on: iQiYi, Saturday

This was a great little pulp! One thing I really appreciated was how much room this show gave to our main pairings relationships outside their romance, like the found family and friendships was great.

🇹🇭 The Edge of Horizon

Episode 2 of 10 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Saturday

The yearning!! It's going to break my heart at some point because they're so in love with each other but both think it's impossible. My poor heart! (I'm going to love the pain tho). Also I'm already in love with our mains. They're doing such a good job! I'm not massive on lakorns so I'd probably love it more if it wasn't one but even though it is, I'm still enjoying it a lot.

🇹🇭 A Dog and a Plane

Episode 5 of 10 || Airing on: Youtube, Friday

I'm not completely hooked on this show but I still like it well enough. They're great kissers but plotwise I'm mostly here for the secondary pairing.

🇰🇷 Love Class Season 3

Episode 10 of 16 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Thursday

It's growing on me but I still think they're suffering from a lack of funds and the short runtime.

🇹🇭 Crazy Love, Moo-Moo!

Episode 8 of 10 || Airing on: ViU, Saturday

Weirdly I'm most interested in what's going on with Tian. All the actors are killing it and Boss and Noeul kiss so pretty and are masters at high heat but the slap stick comedy isn't quite my taste.

That's it for this week!!

QL Recap for Week 19

The 4th of May to the 10th of May 2026 Shows are listed in order of how much I'm enjoying them

🇹🇭 Love of Silom

Episode 4 of 12 || Airing on: WeTV, Friday

I love them and their little found family! I'm a little confused why Wayu didn't just stay with Krit? His mom really doesn't deserve his forgiveness. She better have figured her shit out now! Though I wouldn't bet on it. I'm surprised that we're moving to "crazy ex" plot territory but maybe he's also involved in the drug/ human trafficking plot and I guess we'll have to wait and see.

🇹🇼 Wishing upon the Shooting Stars

Episode 8 of 12 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Thursday

Lemme just pick my jaw off the floor first, because hot damn!! I did not expect that NC scene and definitely not for it to be a piece of art! The production of this show is truly gorgeous and I really appreciate that, though I wish the script/plot was the same high quality. As much as I love these characters and I'm still super curious about how the wish plot is going to unfold, I do feel like we've gone in circles a little bit.

🇯🇵 Fake Fact Lips

Episode 3 of 12 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Thursday

I love their brief respite from their rivalry where they get so incredibly earnest and honest, then a second later one of them says "sike!" and we're back to rivalry. They're both idiots but at least they're making progress and I'm enjoying it.

🇹🇭 Flower Boy

Episode 3 of 8 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Saturday

I'm curious about where this show is going and it's definitely winning me over but I'm not completely on board yet.

🇹🇭 Your Dear Daddy

Episode 1 of 8 || Airing on: iQiYi, Saturday

I've been so excited for this show for so long that I definitely had to consciously lower my expectation before this started. I did, however, like the first episode, so it's looking promising so far. I love a "uke" character who owns their own sexuality and I'm rooting for SaengNuea. It must be hard for a new actor to be paired with a seasoned and well loved actor, in part because any ways that your acting skills are lacking became obvious so easily.

🇹🇭 Love upon a Time

Episode 7 of 12 || Airing on: iQiYi, Friday

Oh the hurt! It feels a little bit like we're at a stalemate in the past so are we going back to the future soon? I would like to get out of this "gay relationships are impossible" environment soon please!

🇹🇭 Enemies with Benefits

Episode 2 of 10 || Airing on: Youtube, Sunday

I really like their dynamic and I'm sure it'll make for some delicious drama. I'm, however, very aware that most of the stuff I'm not a fan of about this show is because the show wasn't made for me and my taste so I'll try to be conscious of this when I comment on this show.

🇯🇵 Unexpectedly Naughty Fukami

Episode 5 of 10 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Monday

This is such a weird little show! Especially because the NC scenes are so clunky. I'm enjoying this as a short runtime Japanese pulp but I don't think I'd watch it if it had a longer runtime.

🇹🇭 Only Friends: Dream On

Episode 11 of 12 || Airing on: Youtube, Friday

I just … don't like it. The writing in this show has let me down again and again and me liking the actors and their performances is just not enough to save this. The plot is just all so surface level, which I'm assuming is because they needed to fit in all the pairings, which is just make worse by how it's not daring all. It's also just so bland and inconsistent. They're too stuck in their branded pairings and too afraid to have any of the characters truly be bad. Like Jack is the worst™, but it's like none of the other characters actually see that, while Dean, Arnold and Raffy are being punished for the stupidest things. Make it make sense!

That's it for this week!!

QL Recap for Week 18

The 27th of April to the 3rd of May 2026

Shows are listed in order of how much I'm enjoying them

🇹🇭 Love of Silom

Episode 3 of 12 || Airing on: WeTV, Friday

Krit is doing a "how to get a husband and a child" speed-run and we love to see it! I love how they're clearly both catching feelings and I'm honestly really impressed with the acting of our mains. This show is just hitting the spot really well.

🇹🇭 Flower Boy

Episode 2 of 8 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Saturday

The plot thickens! I like the mystery of Gaysorn's mom and I can't wait for him to figure out what happened to her. I'm still getting used to this show's production and I'm glad it isn't longer episodes but the show is definitely growing on me.

🇹🇼 Wishing upon the Shooting Stars

Episode 7 of 12 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Thursday

I feel like I'm missing something because did Hao Wei not figure out that Xiao You is himself? Other than my confusion about that, I'm still enjoying this.

🇹🇭 Love upon a Time

Episode 6 of 12 || Airing on: iQiYi, Friday

This show is growing on me and I really liked this week's episode but it still isn't quite hitting the spot in terms of comedy. I wish overall we'd seen more of the two pairings in the future, or at least Khun, Pun, and Thi, because I'm sold on both pairings in the past but the introduction of Pun and Thi in the future was a complete miss for me and it feels a little unfair to judge them based on such a short screen time.

🇭🇰 Sammy's Children's Day

Episode 9 of 9 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Friday

The final episode felt very rushed but I'm not mad about the cliff hangeri ending. Would I have loved a couple more episodes so they could have explored Liu Yi coming to terms with loving Chu San more? Yes! ... but I don't think it ruined the show as a whole. We got a killer kiss and a clear understanding between them, so even if the final episode made this show good but not great, I still enjoyed the ride this show took me on.

🇹🇭 Only Friends: Dream On

Episode 10 of 12 || Airing on: Youtube, Friday

This show is the perfect example of how branded pairings has limited GMMTV's ability to tell messy stories. I'm not even entirely sure Joss and Mix kissed while on stage in this episode and I'll be very surprised if Jack and Dean don't end up together even if I'm not rooting for them at all. Jack is just the worst™ and I really don't think it makes for a good story for them to be end game but what can you do. I do wish that Raffy had realized that he doesn't actually like Jack but I'm still here mostly for Rome and Raffy.

That's it for this week!!

QL Recap for Week 20

The 11th of May to the 17th of May 2026 Shows are listed in order of how much I'm enjoying them

🇹🇭 Love of Silom

Episode 5 of 12 || Airing on: WeTV, Friday

Well Pete's a dickhead for sure and I really hope Krit doesn't help him, though with all the blackmail material Pete has, Krit is definitely in a tough situation. I really hope Pete is involved in the whole plot that Krit is investigating because that would make the plot of this show come together seamlessly. No criticism for this show, I'm just having a great time. Also freaking loved the legs above the head! He would be super flexible and Krit would be into that so it fits really well.

🇹🇭 Love upon a Time

Episode 8 of 12 || Airing on: iQiYi, Friday

This show has definitely won me over now and I'm invested. I really like the concept though I do worry that they won't spend enough time in the future. That NC scene was a freaking piece of art and I can definitely see the vision with Net and JJ because JJ is definitely also pulling his weight in this pairing, which I always worry about when it comes to rookie/seasoned actor pairings.

🇹🇭 Fourever You Part 2

Episode 17 of 24 || Airing on: WeTV, Thursday

Oh the eye contact! And Suer is down bad already! All the parts of Fourever You Part 2 have hit the spot so far so I'm hopeful this will do that as well. Nuer is a hurting rich boy at odds with his family which I'll admit is a trope I like a lot. He's self destructive with no self worth so it's going to be interesting when there's suddenly something at stake when he's faced with the gang members next episode which is going to be delicious to witness.

🇹🇭 4 Elements: The Air

Episode 1 of 8 || Airing on: iQiYi, Saturday

I really really liked this first episode! It set up the story and characters really well so I'm excited to see where it goes. I haven't watched any of the other installments of 4 Elements but I've seen people on my dash liking them so I'm hopeful that this will be a good one as well.

🇯🇵 Fake Fact Lips

Episode 4 of 10 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Thursday

They're still trying to hide behind the rivalry but that just makes it so more delicious when they fail. It's so clear that they're absolutely down bad and that the only thing holding them back is themselves. I love it here!

🇹🇼 Wishing upon the Shooting Stars

Episode 9 of 12 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Thursday

The pain! I'm not entirely sure what's happening with the wish plot but I think that is in part my own fault for not paying enough attention. This show is still gorgeous and the acting is immaculate.

🇹🇭 Flower Boy

Episode 4 of 8 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Saturday

So the uncle is the bad guy and is most likely the reason why Scent's dad is bedridden, the plot thickens! The dilemma Scent is already in is delicious and I bet that with time it'll turn out that they have to hurt Gaysorn to extract his scent so Scent will really have to make some hard decisions. I'm really liking all the dynamics between the characters in this show which could definitely turn out to be a strong suite of the show.

🇹🇭 Your Dear Daddy

Episode 2 of 8 || Airing on: iQiYi, Saturday

I'm a little confused about some of the side characters and their actions but I'm chalking it up to being because this show seems to be on the pulpy side. That's definitely how I'm approaching this show after episode 2, which just means I give the show more slack when it comes to less important production quality things. I'm still liking our mains though and that's really the most important thing for me.

🇹🇭 Enemies with Benefits

Episode 3 of 10 || Airing on: Youtube, Sunday

I feel like this one weirdly doesn't fit into the "friends with benefits to lovers" trope because aren't they just on relationship starting from a hook up with the caveat that they're coworkers so they don't feel like they can be open about their growing relationship? I think this show just isn't much my taste so if you don't see it in my recap next week you'll know why

🇹🇭 Crazy Love, Moo-Moo!

Episode 2 of 10 || Airing on: ?, Saturday

I really appreciate that they really committed to the bit in this show because if they hadn't I think this show would have just annoyed me. Boss and Noeul are great actors and so are most of the cast which makes it easier to get on board with the craziness. At this point I can both see this show being a success and a fail, but I'm crossing my fingers that it'll go well.

🇹🇭 Only Friends: Dream On

Episode 12 of 12 || Airing on: Youtube, Friday

This show sure did happen. I thought for a second there that they'd leave Jack and Dean split up (as they should have been) but this is GMMTV so of course they ended up together. I appreciated the call back to Rome and Raffy's first hook up which also isn't too surprising because they were my favorite and really the only couple that had a vaguely interesting story to me. I wish could give a succinct explanation for why I think this show failed but I neither have the bandwidth nor time so I'll leave this show here.

That's it for this week!!

QL Recap for Week 10

The 2nd of March to the 8th of March 2026 Shows are listed in order of how much I'm enjoying them

🇹🇭 MuTeLuv: Love Me if You Swear

Episode 4 of 4 || Airing on: Youtube, Monday

I loved this show so much! It was such a great introduction to Surf and Java as main characters and I really hope we get more of them. They have great chemistry, worked perfectly for this dynamic and it really showcased their acting chops. Especially Java is lethal in a role where his character is sad or devastated. I feel like a lot of QLs try to be funny but this was one of the few that I actually found really funny. Especially Louis' character had some absolutely hilarious moments but even then, the friendship between Pure and Tum still felt so genuine.

🇹🇭 Fourever You Part 2

Episode 9 of 24 || Airing on: WeTV, Wednesday

Oh I missed them so much! I love the feel of this segment of Fourever You part 2 so much already. It's a little creepy but ultimately their approach to the ghosts are great and work well. Like it's just funny even if it's in a little bit of a dark way. I just love Dao's very jaded deadpan personality and Arthit's young bachelor image. That combined with the prejudice and dislike between them from the get go is going to make it even more satisfying when they start to crack, open up and start developing feelings.

🇹🇭 My Romance Scammer

Episode 6 of 12 || Airing on: Youtube, Sunday

I love all the glimpses we get of Tim's real personality starting to shine through where it then turns out that Pai actually really likes that side of him. Also I'm glad that Yu got it all out into the open so that he can start from scratch with North and build a solid foundation where North actually feels like he can trust Yu. I'm a little anxious about the reveal next week but the show has been solid so far so I'm going to trust it to deliver.

🇹🇭 Heart Code

Episode 6 of 7 || Airing on: Monomax, Friday

Oh and we finally got the reveal! After such a heartwarming confession! I'm still a little confused about whether mr. dad is a bad guy or not or maybe he just did some horrible things in the past. This show is still one of my favorites of our current QL picks.

🇹🇭 Peach Lover

Episode 7 of 10 || Airing on: iQiYi, Tuesday

This very non-dramatic episode makes me worried for next week. They are so very much on the same page about their relationship and so secure in each other so I expect heart break and drama in the next episode.

🇹🇭 Only Friends: Dream On

Episode 2 of 12 || Airing on: Youtube, Friday

Rome and Raffy have me obsessed! I just love their dynamic so much! Especially because it's clear that they're attraction to each other is already past just being physical even if they're both putting up a front. Also I love how Boston enters the picture and clearly is going to stir the pot. I'm not entirely convinced by Tua and Arnold yet but I think I could easily get on board if it becomes crystal clear that Arnold has feelings for Tua already, which I think he has but I need to see it more clearly for me to be convinced.

🇹🇭 Yesterday

Episode 5 of 10 || Airing on: iQiYi, Monday

Nana is the strongest soldier because if a gorgeous woman pinned me against a wall and called me a good girl I would become a puddle on the floor instantly. I wish this show had aired at a different time because I just don't have the mental energy to pay attention to all the small details that make up this plot.

🇹🇭 Duang With You

Episode 6 of 12 || Airing on: iQiYi, Saturday

For once I wish I'd seen the cut version of this episode because the uncut version did not need to be 90 minutes long! Like I love how Domundi got their whole basketball-playing actor roster out to play but that game did not need to be that long and later on, the talent show thing also did not need to be that long. I'm having such a love hate relationship with this show because there's a good handful of things I wish so badly that they'd done differently but then there are a bunch of things that just hit the spot. Like the more quiet moments on the couch between Qin and Duang were so good, including the final lead up to them kissing. Like they just work so well together and I'm glad we're hammering it home. I love North and Otto and I'm not mad that they didn't include an NC scene between them but I wish the show didn't rely so heavily on what the characters were physically emoting in scenes between their characters because I think that's too much to ask for such new actors. They should have just cut it more tightly or maybe just done something else with the production of the scene leading up to the bedroom.

🇰🇷 Always Meet Again

Episode 2 of 8 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Thursday

It's been forever since I've watched a Korean BL which is kinda crazy for me because I used to watch everything out of Korea. They had a good formula for how to make a shorter show but that has kinda gone out the window in the past year or so which I'm assuming is because of them struggling to fund BLs. Anyways, our two main actors are great so I'm hoping this show could be a solid offering, though after the first two episodes I'm not sold on the writing even if everything else is pretty good.

That's it for this week!!

QL Recap for Week 17

The 20th of April to the 26th of April 2026 Shows are listed in order of how much I'm enjoying them

🇭🇰 Sammy's Children's Day

Episode 8 of 9 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Friday

Oh that kabedon was great and Liu Yi clearly enjoyed being pinned up against that wall! Both of the dynamics in this show work so well and I'm going to miss them and the show a ton when it ends soon.

🇹🇭 Love of Silom

Episode 2 of 12 || Airing on: WeTV, Friday

These first two episode were very promising so I'm looking forward to the next episode. I'm guessing this will be a more plot heavy show with how fast our pairing are moving while a lot of exposition happened around them. Someone mentioned that Rose is ace in the book so I'm really hoping we also get that in the show but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

🇹🇼 Wishing upon the Shooting Stars

Episode 6 of 12 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Thursday

Surprising level of spice from our second couple! Again, the two pairings balance each other out well which I appreciate because our main pairing are still in their Sad Boy™ era. I'm still enjoying this and after this episode I'm slightly more on board with our second couple than I was earlier.

🇹🇭 Flower Boy

Episode 1 of 8 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Saturday

Excited for another show with Pearl and Peak! I'm gonna have to get used to the soapy drama of it all but I'm not surprised and I'm curious to see where we're going with this concept.

🇹🇭 Only Friends: Dream On

Episode 9 of 12 || Airing on: Youtube, Friday

I don't remember everyone learning that Raffy was the one who spread the information about Dean the first time but then again I might just have forgotten. The Drama department is living up to its name this week and I'm having a hard time caring much about it. It's all just so surface level which is a pity. At least Raffy has finally realized what's up and him and Rome have now banded together.

🇹🇭 Love Like a Bike

Episode 8 of 8 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Monday

In the end our main couple was good but I wish they'd cut away some of the extra characters and plot lines and focused more on them. I think this could be a decent binge and you could pretty easily skip around any of the other pairings if you just want to watch it for the main couple. It was a pulp with an interesting take with some things that worked but a pulp nevertheless so I don't think I'll ever watch this again.

That's it for this week!!

QL Recap for Week 14

The 30th of March to the 5th of April 2026 Shows are listed in order of how much I'm enjoying them

🇹🇭 Fourever You Part 2

Episode 13 of 24 || Airing on: WeTV?, Wednesday

Absolute fire episode! I love seeing Arthit fight his feelings and then absolutely play himself when he got Dao to call him P' Arthit at the end. He was gone for already but I think he finally had to admit to it in that moment. They're just such a good match even if Arthit doesn't see it yet.

🇹🇭 Sammy's Children's Day

Episode 5 of 9 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Friday

Oh how I loved the dream make out scene with the blinding light of love confirming that He Chu San is absolutely done for and then him having the wash his sheets because the dream made him so excited! I love it here!!! Xia Liu Yi definitely isn't unfeeling either but he's so far behind in terms of understanding his own feelings and him trying so hard to make He Chu San his underling to try and satisfy his feelings was so good!!! If it wasn't clear: I adore this show!

🇹🇼 Wishing upon the Shooting Stars

Episode 3 of 12 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Thursday

I love how this show looks and feels. The complications of the wishing on a shooting star is so interesting, a clear "be careful what you wish for". I'm sold on our leads for sure and I can't wait for Chen Hao Wei to either fall for He Xiang Yong without knowing who he is or putting two and two together and realizing who he actually is. I'm not sold on our second pairing yet, because as much as I definitely think Xiao Hai had feelings for Li Wan Zhe before the wish came true, we haven't seen any indication that Li Wan Zhe might also have some sort of feelings for Xiao Hai and personally I'm not a big fan of stories where one person has feelings for the other and then tries to win the other person over, who doesn't have any feelings to begin with but then they start getting feelings. Basically I don't really trust feelings that arise from a situation like that but we'll see where this story goes.

🇹🇭 Never Forget Your Enemy

Episode 6 of 8 || Airing on: WeTV?, Wednesday

I really like how this show has handled amnesia because as a trope it's really a hit or miss for me. Also Korea getting in on the crazy fan commentary?! Who would have thought! I don't even know if I'd call Lee Se Ri a Sasaeng since she's so extreme but I would love to see Korea tackle a story with less extreme Sasaengs. I still really like this story and the production and our leads have great chemistry so this could definitely be a contender for best BL out of Korea in 2026.

🇹🇭 Duang With You

Episode 10 of 12 || Airing on: iQiYi, Saturday

Is it just me or was it never directly addressed why Duang doesn't need to buy expensive presents for Qinn? Like they always just said that he didn't need to, but did anyone ever say to him straight out "you don't need to buy him expensive gifts because it's not the only way to show love and, specifically in this case, since Qinn doesn't value expensive gifts highly then the gesture actually conveys the opposite than what you want it to". I think what my problems with this episode all boils down to is that the script around the "gift" drama felt so muddled. Like it was never addressed why Jamie felt so strongly about it either so this episode just left me feeling confused and frustrated. Side note: the nanny might have abused Qinn but his parents so clearly neglected him. I worry that it won't be addressed how bad his parents are in the final episodes but a girl can dream. Anyways, are couples are still adorable so I'm still along for the ride.

🇹🇭 Only Friends: Dream On

Episode 6 of 12 || Airing on: Youtube, Friday

They're all such messy people and this episode made me wonder whether Pete will enter the messiness soon and show his cards. It very much seems like Rome is aware that Raffy is in denial or at least isn't open about how he's feeling so all the things he does are done to provoke Raffy but in a way that he can easily prove that he isn't actually hooking up with the people he's using to provoke Raffy. It's interesting and so calculated in how he's toeing the line of what would be going too far, and I wonder how long it's going to take before Raffy realizes what he at his core wants.

🇹🇭 My Romance Scammer

Episode 10 of 12 || Airing on: Youtube, Sunday

This show has lost itself along the way in that classic GMMTV way. Like wasn't the bakery North's dream and now he'll just happily work at the family company? How is Pai just happily returning to the business as well? And what about Tim's debt and his parents? No mention of it at all ever since it was explained to us. We're also still being gaslit that the aunt is a happy part of the family now and now the parents are also off the hook for not reaching out to or helping Pai. Like fuck the fuck off! The only good thing about this family in this episode was that the grandpa owned up and apologized. I'll still finish this show but I just wish it would be more consistent about the characters and the plot around them.

🇹🇭 Love Like a Bike

Episode 5 of 8 || Airing on: Gagaoolala, Monday

I liked this more at the beginning but I'm less on board now. The first pairing is good but I'm just not vibing much with the other two. I'm struggling to separate Us and Tay from their characters so it feels more like watching two bros play love interests and for the third pairing, there just isn't much chemistry and their plot doesn't excite me.

🇹🇭 Love upon a Time

Episode 2 of 12 || Airing on: iQiYi, Friday

I honestly don't know about this show. I'm trying to not be too critical about it because I'm aware that I'm biased against JJ but so far it's not my cup of tea. Khun is just a little too oblivious and lacking intuition which is used to create these slapstick moments that I just don't find funny. The voice-over is also used in a similar way but a lot of the time it annoys me. Since I'm not very excited about this show it'll probably be the first to go if I get busy again so If this show doesn't appear in my next weekly recap, you'll know why.

That's it for this week!!
