    MY PLANTITO – 2023 – Philippines

    BLISS RATING: ★★ “Love is stronger than fear.” – Quote from My Plantito I really, really wanted to like this series. With every fiber of my being, I was hoping it would come through at the end with something to make me like it; but it just did not. This manifests more like an ‘afternoon…

    INDIGO REIMAGINED – 2023 – Philippines

    BLISS RATING: ★★★ “Revenge is a dish best served cold.” – Khan Noonien Singh from the Wrath of Khan (Star Trek) I know my reviews of these floundering BL series perhaps is a bit too heartfelt, but I have great admiration for struggling productions which are making an effort to tell a story in its…

    BLISS RATING: ★★★★+ “Love doesn’t make the world go ‘round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.” – Franklin P. Jones This is the continuing story from Season One but a bit tamer. By now, Greg (Anthony Flores) and Tupe (Rex Lantano) are well into their relationship. They are firmly established as a couple with…

    AEDAN – 2023 – Philippines

    BLISS RATING: ★★★ “To fall in love with yourself is the first secret to happiness.” – Robert Morley I can feel my ears burning now because I liked this series. Why, you might ask, as this series has been panned? Because it had character and guts. Sure, I know what is wrong with this series.…

  • STAY – 2023 – Philippines/United States

    STAY – 2023 – Philippines/United States

    BLISS RATING: ★★★★★ “Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Others stay for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts and we are never, ever the same.” – Flavia Weedn This I would not call a ‘BL’. Perhaps it should be labeled more of an elegy about a deep personal connection. It is a…

  • TIE THE NOT – 2023 – Philippines

    TIE THE NOT – 2023 – Philippines

    BLISS RATING: ★★★★+ “I believe marriage isn’t between a man and a woman; but between love and love.” – Frank Ocean I can think of no better quote to describe this BL series than the one above. Quite beautifully, it summarily describes this series. Additionally, the play on words of the title of this series…

  • THE DAY I LOVED YOU – 2023 – Philippines

    THE DAY I LOVED YOU – 2023 – Philippines

    BLISS RATING: ★★★★★ “You can love two people at the same time, but never at the same level.” – Love-facts.com Embarrassingly, I almost missed this series. Why? I was turned off by its opening credits and its corniness, so I decided not to watch it. But after seeing so many good summaries, I put aside…

  • SPARKS CAMP – 2023 – Philippines

    SPARKS CAMP – 2023 – Philippines

    BLISS RATING: ★★★ “A sure-fire way to know you are crazy is if more than one person told you you’d be great on a reality show – and you agree with them.” – Tracy McMillan I must warn you that my perspective of this series is not all moonbeams and unicorns. I am not going…

    CLIK, CLAK, CLOK – 2022 – Philippines

    BLISS RATING: ★★★★★  “Your first love is always alive and lives all time in your heart. How much you try to forget, it never goes away from your heart” – LoveQuotesPlus.Com It always intrigues me how love can be portrayed in an infinite variety of ways in cinema. Sometimes it makes sense while other times it does…

  • PAPA WHAT IS LOVE? – 2022 – Philippines

    PAPA WHAT IS LOVE? – 2022 – Philippines

    BLISS RATING: ★★★★+ “My eyes are tempted by the smile of an angel and your lips whisper secrets of forbidden love” –  Natasha Harvey This series is an adult-oriented story so if you are easily offended, perhaps this is not the series for you. It is a romp through a deep dark secret fantasy with feelings…
