101. O segredo (Amor)
Thai Special - 2021, 1 episode
I haven't seen the second season of TharnType so I don't really know about these characters' stories/actions from that. So, I'm simply judging what I've seen here.
I really liked this. It was simple, emotional, and effective. It makes me more excited to see the actual drama (Don't Say No) with Leo and Fiat. I had seen the preview for that before I saw this, so this was basically the cherry on top.Link to watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb4T4KOo36o

102. En of Love: TOSSARA
Thai Drama - 2020, 4 episodes
I'm not Really into this, but it's not by any means bad. I almost skipped it after the slow and awkward pace present in the first episode. I gave it another shot though, since I liked the other En of Love couples. I'm happy to say it did get better. However, the story was not as engaging as the other two series.

103. Senior Secret Love: Puppy Honey
Thai Drama - 2016, 6 episodes
It's nothing too deep but it's not shallow. I really liked the idea of the FL eventually getting over her fear of dogs. And the side couple was fairly cute as well. I like how Rome wasn't ashamed or confused about his sexuality at all. He already had that figured out ages ago and it was just Pik that needed to sort himself out.

104. Girl Next Room: Midnight Fantasy
Thai Drama - 2020, 4 episodes
This was surprisingly a really fun watch. They managed to make me sympathize and care about the ML even when he was being a bit of a jackass. Lol. And the chemistry with him and the FL? Pretty damn good!
Definitely was nice to have some Bi rep on the side as well (the reason I watched it in the first place, actually).Link to YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qhf98IWSXX8&list=PL76HGFASgz4SF1mcxv8Ti4bjxREGJb5pB

105. Wedding Plan
Thai Drama - 2023, 7 episodes
The main MLs' chemistry was pretty good, and I liked how the conflict and resolution played out: it didn't feel unnecessary or like it dragged. Rather, fitting for the characters. My big letdown? I wanted more of my girls, dammit!
All in all, good for a casual watch.Can be found on YouTube or iQiyi (uncut version)

106. Top Secret Together
Thai Drama - 2021, 15 episodes
We have an in real life Gay couple acting in this!!! Who would have thought we would get this in a Thai drama? I'm so happy for them! And I'm even more happy to see this kind of progress in the world of BL dramas. I kind of just realized I knew about Newyear today. I'd seen I Am Your King recently and really enjoyed it despite some of it's flaws. The acting was really natural.
And to find out that he and Both are an out couple online (with their own YouTube channel) starring in this is just even more fantastic! BL dramas are really taking new strides this year. Congratulations to Both and Newyear (also from what I've heard they've been together for 9 years, that's just amazing)! And as for us, let's celebrate progress!
Update after completion:
I really enjoyed my time with this drama. It was all-around pleasant and comforting. And I think it was cool that they put some deleted and behind the scenes clips at the end of each episode. There was a lot of heart put into this drama and contained in this drama. I was a bit disappointed by the ending sadly, but it didn't destroy my overall experience.
The acting ranged from okay to really great, some metaphors amazed me, some speeches were really moving and some were just cheesy, and some characters developed well while others didn't. My more honest rating is a 7/10. But, because of some aspects that impressed me, I'm giving it a 7.5/10.Was on LineTV

107. Call It What You Want 2
Thai Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
Can't wait to see what happens to the previous potential side couple! I'm so excited!
Update after completion:
Alriiiight! Bas and Marco had great chemistry! The conflict between them at one point didn't seem to make much sense at first, but they pulled it together.
Maybe because I now quite liked the characters and felt for them, I enjoyed this second season more than the first. Probably has to do with Bas' story having a lot more depth to it than James or Ait's. Marco's personality was shown a lot more here as well, along with some good character development.
James and Ait were alright here but there were times I felt like they were interrupting the more important aspects of the drama.
I should also add that there was some really interesting symbolism I almost missed that turned out to be incredibly moving and meaningful.
The ending satisfied me in some ways but also disappointed me in others. All in all I'm giving it a 7/10. It took the aspects from the first season I liked and incorporated them more. I only wish they gave the main couple even MORE screen time, they definitely could have delivered something even better.

108. Calculating Love : SineTan
Thai Drama - 2020, 7 episodes
It was difficult to figure out what to rate this. I think it's between a 6.5/10 and a 7/10.
While I enjoyed the way math was incorporated into this story and in the metaphors and I felt the sincerity the actors conveyed through their acting of the lines, I think the length of this drama was actually too long.
I believe if at least half an hour or forty-five minutes had been trimmed from this it would have flowed much better. The lines were good but at times it felt like the conflict was dragged out for far too long.
I think five episodes would have worked better than six. That being said, I enjoyed my time watching this. There were just a few points where I thought a misunderstanding could have been solved much faster.Link to YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqrDdYSo6Fg&list=PLYYyUhZKiEj4PqWB2KtuCsq_H9VtyCJfx

109. Our Skyy 2

Just a big ol' mixed bag. Some couples' episodes highlighted their chemistry and previous drama well and allowed them to shine here, other couples' episodes felt like a chore to sit through.

Like okay. So . . . We're just going to pretend this didn't end with a creepy cult-like mindset continuing to be put in place? Lol. "We're their family now."
I have to admit, I did enjoy seeing how much more ridiculous this became each week. Not enough to rewatch it though.

111. Academia de Ótimos Homens
Thai Drama - 2019, 8 episodes
Note: I'm being a little generous with my rating since I quite liked the ending and the acting of the leads.
Here's the thing: buried beneath the cringe, subtle/not-so-subtle digs at Trans people, and prevalent sexist remarks, there is a rather sweet and funny drama with rounded characters and some suggested acceptance of Trans people and the fluidity of sexuality. Maybe if there were more high-quality/clearer subtitles available, my take would be more positive, and I would be more likely to recommend Great Men Academy. As it stands, it's a coin flip for me.Can be found on free websites

112. Garotos Padeiros
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Not as dark as the original or as entertaining. But, still a pretty fun watch.
Regarding representation, unfortunately the Bi ML, Jean, played into the cheating stereotype. He's a villain though so I'm not as salty about it as I would normally be. But, not gonna lie, still a bit salty.
I would recommend the original Japanese movie over this. But, I'm not saying this was a terrible drama. Just that when it came to some of the humor and more serious moments it couldn't quite deliver. It was light-hearted and easy though and when the jokes landed it made me laugh.

113. Lucky My Love

The two FLs were really sweet together. I definitely felt the chemistry. However, the conflict felt off and rushed, and the story was kind of just "there."

Update after completion:
The stakes are a bit higher here and the relationships are strained. It's more "grown-up" than the first series. Though, sometimes a bit more childish. Lol.

117. Love Senior
Thai Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
First off, my rating is a lie. It's actually a 6.5/10 for me. But because it's a Thai GL, and I want to see more of them, I don't have the heart to rate it any lower.
Now, as for my thoughts:
In the beginning, it had everything I wanted: A Pan FL, easy chemistry between the two FLs, a love triangle, and ALL the tropes that come with a Queer Thai Engineer series. Like, yes, give me tripping on air and getting dramatically saved by the FL's soon-to-be love interest, who holds her for a suspiciously long time!
But then, near the halfway point, my perspective shifted. While I liked that the conflicts were—so far—minimal/easily resolved, I felt they could have done well with extending the do they like each other/pining phase. It felt almost "too easy" for these FLs.
This problem would come back to bite the drama later during the last few episodes when conflict after conflict and misunderstanding after misunderstanding popped up. It seemed like the writers intentionally made Manaow and Gyoza's start to their relationship so easy and sweet so they could put them through the wringer at the end while banking on all their good times together to get you through it. Unfortunately, it did not work. At all. And don't even get me started on the horrible villain and her scheme and the nail-in-the-coffin trope that had no reason to be there.
By the end, I was just . . . *sigh*
It saddens me to say this, but I would skip this one, my dear MDLers. It's just not worth your time.Link to YouTube Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGK_7sekG_-lJY9Iq57XrHXU-9oiaekiA&si=AjMjW92ZgAEPnk9P

118. House of Stars
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Did my attention get snatched? Sure. But only because while I was hoping for more, I had these two sweethearts to get me through.
Ultimately, the direction of this drama let it down. It was absolutely ridiculous, and not in a good way. It was like they wanted all the love triangles, mess, and shit-storms but had no idea how to execute it!
A prime example of what got repeated to death: Someone would waltz into a room, talk a big game like they had done or were going to do something big, then when the big reveal or moment came, they hadn't done shit! One guy came in like just before things ended, seemingly about to stir the pot, only to basically sit in a corner, sipping red wine, going, "Oh, things are about to get messy! I am so important. Can't you tell how important I am?" The entire time! Like, why were you here?!
I wanted drama, dammit! And when someone finally did pull something, there was NO build-up! Every twist was presented in the most boring way possible. Like, add a bit of spice, would you?
Don't even get me started on Pitch and Gun because they were such a wasted opportunity! If there's two things I can't stand, it's:
#1) A bad drama that's also boring
And
#2) Wasted potential
I don't recommend it. Skim through it for Weyha and Wayu, or just go watch Friend Zone 2 because that shit was actually messy and fun!Can be found on iQiyi

122. Call It What You Want
Thai Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
A very blunt showing of how controlling, dark, and upsetting the Bl industry can be.
From the first episode, there are many upfront lines about problematic/bad practices that are simply accepted as normal or to be dealt with.
Not too many light-hearted moments. But, that's not the point of this drama. Not as good as Lovely Writer, of course. But, an interesting and engaging watch none the less.The chemistry between the main couple didn't really appear until episode 2, but that was okay.
Marco and Bas, despite being more like supporting characters, managed to steal my attention at many points, especially during the last couple of episodes. I have no doubt they will go on to have a great relationship, whether it be romantic or just as friends.
My 6.5/10 rating is nothing to sneer at here, I did enjoy this. I think it is a fitting rating for this drama.

126. A Boss and a Babe
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
The start of this wasn't bad. The chemistry was there and them going for "wacky rom-com featuring a 'bumbling idiot'" was kind of interesting as it mirrored similar US shows/movies.
However, throughout my time watching this, I kept bouncing back and forth between:
A.) Liking the lack of angst and being just amused enough.
And:
B.) Being bored.
Then, as it got closer and closer to the finale, they began to recycle the same conflict over and over and over again. Eventually, watching A Boss And A Babe felt more like a chore than a fun pastime.
This just goes to show that good chemistry and intimate scenes can't cover up a sub-par script and bad directing.Can be found on YouTube

127. Não Me Abandone Jamais
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Overall, it's kind of just okay. Some episodes have a few engaging moments and instances of good cinematography but the majority is just *shrugs*
The chemistry was mostly *meh,* the acting was usually pretty stiff or just *meh* (with some occasional well-acted scenes), the story was all over the place or *meh,* and the OST was *meh.*
To summarize, it was a big pile of ✨meh✨
It's a skip, my friends. Unless, you're looking for eye-candy faces or abs, in which case, you do you . . . But I still think you won't truly enjoy this if you're being honest with yourself.Can be found on YouTube

128. Making Memorable Memories

129. Brothers
Thai Drama - 2021, 13 episodes
Nothing outstanding here, but nothing really bad either. It's definitely nothing fantastic to rave about. I would say it's an average quality drama.
This was more a slow and light-hearted drama to pass the time in between the ones I was Really waiting for.
I do like the chemistry between the couples and the little call-backs to previous conversations/scenes. Some scenes are a bit over-dramatic though and some lines don't quite fit.
I wouldn't Not recommend this. But, I wouldn't say you're seriously missing out if you choose to skip it.

130. Love Sick: The Series
Thai Drama - 2014, 12 episodes
The chemistry between Phun and Noh was quite good. If I were basing my rating just off their relationship alone and ignored all other aspects of this drama I would rate it a 7/10 or 7.5/10. They were the respite and light while watching this.
However, I can't give it that higher rating as a whole in good conscience. Why? Well, it's definitely very outdated, even in Thai BL terms, when it comes to acceptance of LGBT+ people. The jokes and stereotypes are really bad and generally constant. There were a few moments where I saw hints of progress (such as defending the cheerleaders) that would be the beginnings of good representation but there were still a lot of demeaning and offensive comments (such as "wife" and "girlfriend" being used when referring to a boy in a joking way).
After Lovely Writer it's even harder for me to ignore (or try to ignore) the putdowns of overly effeminate characters/Gay people as well as extreme and annoying shipping of two boys together by an obsessed "fan" (generally female) and the "wife" label when referring to a boy in a relationship with another boy.
The leads were great (sadly almost all supporting characters were annoying and unlikeable), but I can't say much else for this drama except to acknowledge that it was indeed a stepping stone to much better productions.

131. Área do Amor 2
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
I guess I'll put it here.
*Sighhhhh* I'm disappointed.
Was not a fan of the fifteen-minute recap of Part 1. Annoyed me if I'm honest. I already remembered what happened and just what wanted to see what was going to happen next. And if I needed a refresher I could have just rewatched Part 1 or skimmed over it, which I did.
Now, aside from that, the first few episodes were pretty well done. But, things quickly got off track. There was an unnecessary side couple added, they completely erased Peat's depression, Valen became unlikeable due to jealousy and an inability to listen, and Nont's character ended up just existing to be miserable and nothing else. And the ending was just... What was that?
Love Area Part 1 was like lighting in a bottle for me. It was something that unexpectedly succeeded in my book. It embraced its simplicity and focused on the emotions of the characters to make it memorable. It made me feel... In love.

136. YYY 2
Thai Special - 2020, 3 episodes
Dropped
Not as good as the first series, but a worthy follow-up given the constraints they had.
I'm sure they tried their best. But, I just couldn't completely finish this. I got partway into the third episode and I had to drop it.It seemed like they were just buying time until they became official, and nothing was really happening. I appreciated the creativity, but it didn't work in the same way the first series did. I think they needed more action and other characters to work off of.
I may come back to finish this though.

138. The Warp Effect
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Where to start?
The positives:
#1.) The rep is not only varied but well done: We got a Trans SFL, a Nonbinary SL, a Queer SFL, a Lesbian SFL, and two Gay SMLs.
#2.) There are encouraged and detailed discussions about sex: education, positivity, protection, testing, pregnancy, positions, kinks, etc.
#3.) There are pro-body positivity, anti-outing, and feminist messages.
The negatives:
#1.) Non-con is not addressed properly, and there are inconsistent discussions about consent.
#2.) Alex.
#3.) Sometimes a good message comes across as preachy rather than genuine.
Overall this had the feel of a raunchy American TV Show, albeit with more education and not as explicit scenes. If that one scene/plot point didn't exist (if you've watched this, you know which one I mean), I would be rating this a 7.5/10; however, because that is in this drama, I cannot rate it that high in good conscious.

139. Ton Hon Chon Tee
Thai Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
I've basically skimmed through this. But, I haven't finished it yet. I really should.
Time to actually watch the whole thing all the way through without skipping.
Update after completion:
It's far cringier than I remember! Jeez! Also, there is SO much homophobia and blatant Forceful pushing of heterosexuality.
There were a couple parts I found moving or relatable, as well as some legitimately funny moments. And one great quote: "It's better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not."
But, the best parts/truly fun parts of this drama generally came from the side characters instead of the main couple. And the side couple (Ai and Ni) is much more fun than the main couple. Plus I can't stand that Ton (Tonhon) seems to only be accepting of his friends being Gay, but also not quite.
All in all this drama is a weird mix of terrible tropes and stereotypes while at the same time trying to push the message of acceptance that just doesn't work.
Side Note: I eventually resorted to watching this on 2x speed at times, that should tell you how cringey this was.Link to YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m828ENcNRI&list=PLYYyUhZKiEj4srxBc1_ZqjRBuqV1i_eOH

It started off pretty okay. It was slow, but charming.
It didn't take long for the side characters to seem entirely pointless though.
And different plot points were just randomly introduced out of nowhere only to not be fleshed out or brought back up again! There was also a time skip for NO reason! WHAT WAS THE REASON?!!! ???
The writing is what ultimately failed here. Someone must have been high as hell when they wrote this.
When I got to the last episode, I found myself asking: What was the point of this drama? Was it Ever actually trying to say something?

*sigh* I never learn, do I? I need to take a serious lesson in dropping it like it's hot.
Another waste of my damn time. Other than to promote tourism in Japan, what was this even for? I don't feel I can say this was a romance drama because there really was no buildup or sense of romance, just sudden feelings that weren't really discussed and out-of-nowhere hookups. I also can't say this was a comedy, much as it tried to be one. The humor just doesn't land. And above all, everything felt awkward and forced.

144. Grande Dragão: O Seriado
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
It looked nice?
I can't think of anything else positive to say. Oh! Well, there was a brief side Lesbian couple! Yeah . . . That's all I got ? *shrugs*
There were itty bitty teensy tiny pieces of a somewhat good drama that could have been. I feel like the writers and directors were really indecisive. They couldn't decide whether to have their characters be toxic and mysterious or sweet and silly. Like, you can have some of both but you have to do it well! Seems like they just couldn't make up their minds let alone execute their vision properly.
And the writing . . . It was just bad.
Another thing, I have to be honest, for the majority of the runtime the acting of the leads . . . Sucked. I generally put the onus on the director[s] for not directing them correctly. But even if they had I still think these actors just didn't know what to do with their faces or hands most of the time.
This is a definite skip from me.

I was hoping one of the straight couples would be decent at the very least, but no. I was enjoying one of the Fl's at first but then they ruined her as well. Pete and Kao were the only intriguing and actually entertaining part of this. Everything else made me feel pain. SO much pain.In conclusion: Just watch the Pete and Kao cut. Trust me.

Sometimes it was okay but mostly it was cringey. I could tell that the actors were at least trying, but they didn't do well at all.
Other than the acting, the pacing was weird, jokes never really landed, the story was all over the place, and what were supposed to be emotional lines/moments didn't feel emotional. -
148. Voto de Morte Social
Thai Drama - 2018, 6 episodes
NOT WORTH WATCHING
So much went wrong with this drama. Things don't make sense and the main characters' motivations aren't clear. He's filming people without their consent or knowledge when they are inappropriately dressed and/or engaging in sexual activities. Okay, we got that part.
But it's not shown that he's doing it because these specific people said mean things about Best online until almost the end. And even then, he enjoys it too much for it to just be revenge for the comments they left. Rather, it makes it seem like he just gets some sick joy out of seeing people suffer. And yet, the drama still tries to frame him in some sympathetic light? But, by the end he's the worst person objectively!
The other big problem here is that there are scenes missing! The "previously" part will have scenes/shots that didn't happen in the last episode and don't happen in the current one. And they are all important scenes! Only during the last episode are just a couple of them shown. That's it. And they are only a few seconds long when they should be expanded on.
If they did this to have it be "artistic" or like a mystery where you piece things together, they failed miserably. It's like the editor and/or producer fell asleep while working on this and just said "screw it."
And if the intent behind this was to show the dangers of social media and the immensely dangerous power of anonymity/cyber-bullying, they failed there as well. By the end you walk away wondering why you watched this, thinking the ML is a disgusting person and criminal who took his anger on the online world out into the real world, and siding with the commenters who bullied Best in comparison to ever cheering Q on for "getting back at them." -
149. Bater Morder Amar
Thai Drama - 2023, 6 episodes
NOT WORTH WATCHING
I don't even know where to begin. It was just shit.
I'm embarrassed that I started it and upset at my inability to drop it.

150. Eu Te Prometi a Lua
Thai Drama - 2021, 5 episodes
I had too much to say for this small box, so just go read my review for the rest of what I had to say. Also, I have no idea where to put it on this list!
How do I talk about this? This is a tough one. I'm sure I'm not going to make sense when I try to talk about this.
The aspects that were fantastic as ever: The shots, colors, lighting, acting, and music is great. And the OST is pure gold!
On the one hand, IPYTM did make me very emotional and I was able to relate to some of the struggles the characters were going through. I loved and hated how this drama made me feel at the same time. It was purposefully soul-crushing at many points. I knew this wasn't going to be an upbeat and easy sequel though.
On the other hand, I think my biggest criticism happens to be everyone else's: They should have shown this drama more from Oh-aews's point of view, or at least half of it.
I Promised You the Moon was never going to surpass I Told Sunset About You. It was either going to continue the story in a meaningful or somewhat meaningful way, or not measure up to it's predecessor at all.
For me, I found this meaningful but not on par with ITSAY. I didn't feel angry. I just felt something lacking, but, it wasn't enough to leave me completely unsatisfied.
I think I'll give this an 8/10. -
151. Contei ao pôr do sol sobre você: Documentário
Thai Special - 2020, 8 episodes
Watching this opened my eyes even more as to just how much effort and love was put into ITSAY. Truly, beautiful.

152. Secret Theory of Kissing
Thai Special - 2020, 1 episode

153. Kiss Me Again: Pete-Kao
Thai Special - 2018, 3 episodes
It's a cut of just PeteKao and not a full drama. So I guess I'll put it here.
The only good part of the Kiss Me Again drama. They were the saving grace that got me through it. Pete and Kao were the only intriguing and actually entertaining part of it. No wonder their characters got put in another series.

154. Blank
Thai Drama - 2024, 6 episodes
For a drama that seems to want to be taken seriously, it didn't make it easy for me to do so. The elephant in the room: the subtitles. If you want to tap into the English-speaking market, you need to have consistent and understandable subtitles. More often than not, even when there were subtitles, I had to guess and guess again what they actually meant. For key scenes, I was either left in the dark or walked away with a different meaning and/or possibly feeling irritated at what happened when I maybe didn't need to be.
Subtitles aside, this drama ranged from melodramatic with crazy soap-opera twists to simple and comedic. It didn't do this well, though. I wished they would have picked a lane and and stuck with it.
Also, the romance? Tell me why this supposed 20-something girl acts/is treated like she's 15. It made me feel quite uncomfortable. And the way the older FL, Nueng, went back and forth between being a supportive mother-like figure to a cold tsundere who strung this young girl along. Just why?
I will say that the actors did a great job with what they were given to work with. You could tell they put their all into it.
All in all, I don't recommend it.Link to YouTube Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc6EfuKFtZrLLHsGgC9yUTRNQxqB8mffk&si=5Duwx6gXuADZVjYd
