THE LIE WE LIVED IN – 2026 – South Korea
BLISS RATING: ★★★+ “I see no evil ‘cause love is blind.” – Ljupka Cvetanova Although this series is completely implausible, it is just so much fun to watch because it hooks you in with its preposterous premise. In hindsight, this might have worked better as a comedy, as the whole concept is ridiculous. To be…

SOUL MATE – 2026 – Japan/South Korea
BLISS RATING: ★+ “I realized that I don’t remember seeing your back. Because you were always beside me.” – Quote from Soul Mate Overall, this is a series steep in the imagery of ferocity, harshness, and seemingly emotional intensity. But it is a ruse; a gimmick. You do not get to witness that fervent intensity…

WOOJU BAKERY – 2026 – South Korea/Thailand
BLISS RATING: ★ “Freedom is irrelevant. Self-determination is irrelevant. You must adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.” – Borg Quote from Star Trek Oh, how I wish the Borg (if you understand this reference from Star Trek) had actually invaded Earth BEFORE the making of this disaster. If they had, none of us would have…

CHECKERED SHIRT SEASON 2 – 2026 – South Korea
BLISS RATING: ★★★★+ “If I’m tired of people and sick of relationships…it’s better to just disappear. That is my way of enduring.” – Quote from Checkered Shirt Season 2 Frankly, this is a hard series to describe. Enjoying Season One for its creativeness and freshness, this took that original story to a whole new level.…

NEVER FORGET YOUR ENEMY – 2026 – Thailand/South Korea
BLISS RATING: ★★★★+ “And so, may you dispel my darkness and fill it with new light. Just as the dawn always does. You become my new beginning every day.” – Quote from Never Forget Your Enemy Wow! This is a really good BL series that is getting mediocre reviews that frankly I just do not…

ALWAYS MEET AGAIN – 2026 – South Korea
BLISS RATING: ★★★+ “We’ll meet again. Don’t know where or when, but I know we’ll meet again, some sunny day.” – Vera Lynn Regrettably, this is yet another BL love story where a somewhat successful but isolated individual in the present is still living in the past. Racked with guilt about something traumatic, he has…

TIDE OF LOVE SEASON 2 – 2026 – South Korea
BLISS RATING: ★★★★+ “Everything about you is documented in my head.” – Quote from Tide of Love Season 2 I simply adored this series! It is so allegorical and deeply intriguing. All the characters are emblematic. This is a thoughtful and insightful delve into an intense psychodrama. Do not get sidetracked by the ornaments and…

TIDE OF LOVE (SEASON 1) – 2025 – South Korea
BLISS RATING: ★★★★ “Life is a tide; float on it. Go down with it and go up with it but be detached.” – Prem Rawat I loved this gem of a BL that had so many viewers clutching their pearls and being disgusted by its content. That I found odd and a bit disingenuous. For…

THUNDERCLOUD RAINSTORM – 2025 – South Korea
BLISS RATING: ★★★★+ “I don’t want to be your weakness. You have a future, a future more important than me.” – Quote from Thundercloud Rainstorm The is an astonishingly well-thought-out series. A bit weird, however, in its cryptic approach but entertaining from the beginning to its end. I felt manipulated but in a good way…

THE STORY OF BI HYEONG: ENCHANTED MASTER OF THE GOBLIN – 2025 – South Korea
BLISS RATING: ★★★+ “You don’t seem to understand. Sometimes, rather than being alone, it is better to suffer together. Especially when you are in love.” – Quote from The Story of Bi Hyeong This is such a cute, entertaining series which is hard to dislike. While it is pleasant, it ought to be more than…
