BLISS RATING: ★★★★+ Because we can’t communicate there is a lot of misunderstanding.” – Chen Shui Bian This short two-part series is based upon true events and thus its meaning and story makes it more powerful and sadder. The story is from two perspectives – Phupha (Kun Tansuhas) who harbors, rather intensely, an unrequited love…

BLISS RATING: ★★★★ “Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” – Lao Tzu I picked this quote because if the main characters had followed this principle, the story would have been so…

BLISS RATING: ★★★★★ “They said the more obstacles we face, the longer our love will last and the more meaningful it will be. Then I think our love will be a legend.” – Quote from Never Let Me Go The above quote is emblematic of the drama of this series. Essentially, it is a journey for…

BLISS RATING: ★★★★ “Someone who truly loves you, sees what a mess you can be, how moody you can get and how hard you can be to handle. BUT STILL WANTS YOU.” – Your Tango I am probably not allowed to say this, but I actually liked this series – a lot. It was mercilessly…

BLISS RATING: ★★★★+ “Sometimes by taking responsibility, you just need to respect her decision.” – A Quote from The Warp Effect This astonishing and brilliant series was so refreshing to watch and was one of the most thought-provoking series I have ever seen. It is a cacophony of every imaginable social ill, bias, and societal message…

BLISS RATING: ★★★★★ “Sometimes I don’t want tomorrow to come.” – Quote from THE ECLIPSE, I am always astonished how humans can see one thing and interpret its impact so diametrically opposed. This BL series was generally panned – a lot. I thought it was brilliant. Its message was perhaps lost in the way the…

BLISS RATING: ★★★ “I read my books 10 times and I can never remember anything. I see your face one time, and I will never forget.” – Quote I Will Knock You  Who really S.T.O.L.E. this series? It is rare for me to start a review with this subdivision first. But I wanted to recognize what I…

BLISS RATING: ★★★★ “Love songs we listen to in high school are the test love songs ever. Because they are original soundtracks of our first loves.” – Quote from My School President This rather astute line is from the tail end of this long-drawn-out coming-of-age comedy/melodrama of high school. This apothegm is quite adept and…

BLISS RATING: ★★★+ “Two guys in love with each other can break boundaries and scale mountains together.” – WordyBoy  This BL series is all over the map, literally. It centered yet again around soul-swapping which is close to becoming a trope. It is also filled with a bunch of down-right awful people. Some even malicious and…

BLISS RATING: ★★★  “Don’t value those who don’t value us.” – Quote from Between Us This series is replete with stunningly beautiful sentiments like the quote above. Its heart is in the right place for sure. It seems to me that recently Thai BLs are getting obvious in the messaging for equality, gay marriage, and acceptability…
