BLISS RATING: ★★+ “Thank you for being born so I can love you.”  –  Quote from We Are This series is yet another standard cliché-driven BL from Thailand. Certainly not original nor even all that entertaining except. Those exceptions I shall outline and that is what gave it a modicum of uniqueness and originality. Otherwise,…

BLISS RATING: ★★+ “A hug is free, a boost of energy. Hug as much as you wish, never hold back a bit.”  –  Quote from Wandee Goodday This series is a dichotomous BL, bordering on being oxymoronic. Sometimes brilliant then slipping into utter banality. Occasionally poignant but mostly filled with mundane trite tediousness. Sporadic displays…

BLISS RATING: ★+ “Once you choose your own path, you won’t have to be a substitute for anyone any longer. Let’s start all over again.”  –  Quote from My Stand-In This series attraction simply confounds me, honestly. To be sure, the acting is not the issue. But we have seen good acting before in mediocre…

BLISS RATING: ★ “We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The greatest task in life is to find reality.” –  Iris Murdoch Watching this series was torturous and you are essentially left with the question: OMG! Why? It really is that bad. It is bad from so many angles – too numerous…

BLISS RATING ★★★★+ ‘You have to find happiness in change. That happiness will help you get through tough times.” –  Quote from Only Boo This is a Thai BL that frankly stands out for me. I had almost given up on Thai BLs because of their unoriginal storylines and sameness. Frankly, they were getting banal.…

BLISS RATING: ★★★★★ “Sometimes we need fantasy to survive reality.” –  Jacquie Wotnow This is a serendipitous find and what a find it is. Sometimes one needs to go back in order to proceed forward. Admittedly, this is a movie that goes way back and by today’s standards in the BL world might be considered…

BLISS RATING: ★★★★+ “Life is short. Smile while you still have teeth. Just smile before you run out of teeth.” –  Quote from City of Stars This series is astonishing difficult to critique. It had such pockets of high-highs and then slipped into tropey, cliché-driven low-lows that I wanted to scream. Sometimes the characters went…

BLISS RATING: ★★ “Once true love is created in the universe, no matter how far the distance, two hearts will find the one to one another. –  Quote from Two Worlds Frankly, it is irrelevant how many worlds this series had; even a half a dozen more would not have helped. It is just awful.…

BLISS RATING: ★★★★ “Do you think love needs to be persued….to be called love? –  Quote from Memory in The Letter Watching this series is like wrapping yourself up in a warm cozy blanket on a cold winter’s night as you are reading a romantic allegory. While the sensation is comforting, the fable still provides…

BLISS RATING: ★★★★★ “Love and fear represent two different lenses through which to view the world. Which I chose to use will determine what I think I see.” –  Mariannne Williamson I loved this series! And for someone who should stay away from horror films, I could not stop watching this one. Even though I…
