Magic is an unusual and unpredictable happenstance of events that can surround a person. It's not just fireballs or witches but sometimes simpler, more unusual things like a letter from 1970 falling out of a ceiling today. No one was…
Popular Chinese streaming portal IQIYI has certainly upped its game plan for producing and marketing outrageous and daring Chinese BL content. After the recent success of their sports-based drama "Hikaru Na Go," IQIYI has set the screen ablaze with their…
What would it be like if you could only see the world in shades of black, white, and gray? As if you existed inside an old black and white movie before the development of Technicolor, or all the Kansas scenes…
Sadly, Wish You has come to an end. Concluding with the same powerful music, cinematography, and beautifully sensual chemistry that made it a fast favorite for me, this drama left me satisfied and thirsty for more. (more…)

"All is Fair in Love and War." The title of Pearl Next Door Episode 5 is the perfect definition for this series. It is an emotional tug of war between three women that left me feeling battered more than satisfied. …

Do you ever sit back, watch a Kpop music video, and wonder what it would be like if two of your favorite artists ever fell in love? If you said yes, then I have good news for you because the…
Crime thrillers are my weakness. If you ask me to choose between a romantic saga or a mind-blowing thriller, I would always choose the latter. But unfortunately, the Thai BL genre is littered with shows that literally have no substance…
If you look up the definition of the word "awkward," it wouldn't surprise me if it included the opening sequence of Pearl Next Door Episode 3. A confession, avoidance, and a semi-rejection all in the first minutes set the stage…

Episode 2 of Tonhon Chonlatee gave me mixed feelings that will affect this review. There were some great things about this episode and one glaring thing about this episode that I did not like. I know that there are reasons…
At the end of episode 3, I wondered how exactly a person who loved Itt, at first sight, does not believe in Love anymore? I found myself lacking interest in the lead story, even with all the hooks. I return…
