    UNDER THE OAK TREE (YOU PLAY GUITAR, I SING ALONG, BY OUR SOYMILK STALL) – 2024 – Vietnam

    BLISS RATING: ★★★★★ “The film reel of my life keeps spinning around, fell into a maze without an exit. Throughout my youth, all I got was insecurities, making me realize how bad I was. Now it is all over. Am I really happy? Do I stop caring about you?” – Opening Song to Under the…

    THE SERVANT AND THE YOUNG MASTER (THẰNG HẦU VÀ CẬU HAI) – 2023 – VIETNAM

    BLISS RATING: ★★★★+ “You can choose courage, or you can choose comfort. You cannot have both”. – Brene Brown Once again, the Vietnamese prove their superiority in BL story telling over other countries with their big budgets and slick productions. Not only do they portray a human story, but, because of budget constraints, do so…

    MR. CINDERELLA SEASON 2 – 2023 – Vietnam

    BLISS RATING: ★★★★★ “You are not the Prince, and I am not Cinderella” – Quote from Mr. Cinderella Season 2 Summarily, this is a deeply dark and disturbing journey into the underbelly of mental illness with drug addiction and obsession thrown in for good measure.

    VIAN – 2023 – Vietnam

    BLISS RATING: ★★★★ “The heart knows what it wants, all you have to do is speak for it.” – quotediary.me This Bl starts out rather non-descript and frankly a bit boring.

    BLISS RATING: ★★★★ “It is said that words are emotionless, but the listener can feel it.” – Quote from Stupid Genius For pure entertainment and good clean fun peppered with a solid dosage of moral lessons thrown in for good measure, there is nothing like an appealing Vietnamese BL to do the job for you.…

  • STORMY HONEYMOON – 2023 – Vietnam

    STORMY HONEYMOON – 2023 – Vietnam

    BLISS RATING: ★★★★ “There is no greater glory than love, nor any greater punishment than jealousy.” – FrancescaSciandra.com This is a sequel to “The Star Always Follow You”. While it is a ‘stand-alone’ production, I thought the original was so much more powerful and way more dramatic. This epilogue to one of the love stories,…

  • TO DO (OH MY GOD) – 2023 – Vietnam

    TO DO (OH MY GOD) – 2023 – Vietnam

    BLISS RATING: ★★★★+ “Love is a misunderstanding between two fools.” – Oscar Wilde To be honest, this comedic BL is uneven. The story at times got a bit pedestrian. But hidden in this series is another tale; one that is not so sweet and hints of deep pain and sadness. It is simply confounding yet…

    LOVE BILL – 2023 – Vietnam

    BLISS RATING: ★★★★+  “It is amazing how someone can break your heart and you can still love them with all the little pieces.” – Ella Harper  This BL series is not an easy series to get through. I felt at a loss watching because the translations into English did not rise to the level of emotions…
