1. O Eclipse
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Currently Watching
I'm actually at 3rd episode at this point. But as other Thai dramas, sometimes the cheesiness is too cheesy. I need the courage to go through it. For Khaotung...

2. The Director Who Buys me Dinner
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
Currently Watching
It's pretty interesting so far (I've only finished 2 episodes tho) but I still don't really understand the fantasy aspects with the god and everything. Probably they'll make it clear for me in the upcoming episodes. But I feel like this drama needs more runtime tho, there's no way we could squeeze everything in the remaining episode :)

3. Seja Amado em Casa: Eu Aceito
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Currently Watching
Taiwan is pretty cheesy too apparently after watching an episode for it. It seems interesting although I kind of feeling distant with the new director (which I forgot the name of). Seeing the cut scenes from pinterest tho, it seems to turn into something sweeter so I'm looking forward to it!

4. Cherry Magic
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Currently Watching
I've always wanted to watch TayNew in a drama and it's the perfect opportunity. I'm really satisfied so far at how they're still being true to the original source at making Achi's character (or Adachi, in the original) face low self esteem and gain more confidence after he got the super power. I like New a lot in this series! Now I'm ready for more skinship I didn't get much from the Japanese drama :) (AND ALSO they make Achi's friend not as creepy as Tsuge in the Japanese drama! That was a big plus!)

5. Bon Appetit
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Completed
It's pretty good, I can see why people like this drama. I also like the vibes, not overly comedic, calm, mature, and not overly sexual too. Kinda thrown off at episode 7 but it turns out great in the end so thumbs up for this drama!

6. Todas as Bebidas
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Completed
I was wondering why people like this more, but I guess I see the appeal for this drama too. It wanted to be an enemies-to-lovers kinda thing, I guess, but unfortunately the running time is limited for a full fledge well written romance so it was a shame. It has the potential!

7. Be My Favorite
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Completed
I watched this a little bit sad because I thought I would see Mike as main characters but then Gawin serve a really great performance that I can't help falling for. I like the story a lot but given it's fantasy, I'll always have a longer time to figure everything out and make sense of everything. I'm confident to say that PisaengKawi is my comfort couple!!!

8. Last Twilight
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Completed
I just love the drama, the angst, the characters especially Mhok cause THE HELL he's really a whole damn forest? Also the whole show partly feels like Mhok's redemption arc and I won't complain.

9. O Presidente da Minha Escola
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Completed
The latest high school bl I watched before this is ASTCO so it felt so different and I think it portrayed the innocent high school love story perfectly! Also Gemini and Fourth's visual is so pleasing I'm so happy watching them looking good and simping on each other :( TinnGun (or GunTinn *wink*) is also my comfort couple, it gives lovey-dovey and happy and healing!

10. Dangerous Romance
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Completed
So I went back to angsty not-so-common-scenario-of-real-life-high-school-romance after MSP. And yeah it has cringey rich boy x poor boy, bully x the bullied dynamics BUT I don't know, I really like how Perth's bullying acting is not as cringey as I thought it would be. The story is not as good as some of my previous watch but pretty enjoyable, and strangely stuck in my brain. Also I'm officially a Sailom's protection squad.

11. Amor Pelo Amor
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Completed
It's something really new to my experience, being transported to a game BUT actually Myungha has more story to it. It's pretty enjoyable, Yeowoon is so adorable crushing at Myungha, and Cha Woonki is pretty good at acting? You can feel the newbie-ness (?) but it's not really awkward. And two thumbs up for Lee Taevin tho?? He's really good imo!!!

12. Proposta Perfeita
Japanese Drama - 2024, 6 episodes
Completed
I don't know exactly why but my throat is burning for the whole series. I feel like this hit right in my heart? Is it because I watched it in the middle of the night? I honestly don't know. But gladly it's a pretty faithful adaptation from the manga and I appreciate it a lot! I really like it!

13. Bokura no Shokutaku
Japanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
Completed
It's such a cozy story with a really simple plot but sweet relationship. I love the way they bonded over food and dinners. The way they developed feelings is so subtle but pretty obvious too. The kind of relationship dynamics that I really want to have honestly. And Tane is cute!! Although there are times where he's being a kid and kind of annoying me but he's really a cute kid I can't do anything but love <3

14. Jazz for Two
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Plan To Watch
Hangyeom's drama is actually not disappointing at all! Well, at least for me! I like the story a lot, and the cast is actually so spot on too, visually (except for Jungha, tho) and their acting-wise. Two thumbs up for Jungha tho for acting like a villain with that gentle face of his!

15. My Love Mix-Up!
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Plan To Watch
To be honest, I only wanted to watch it because Gemini and Fourth would be here. Also, so far, learning from GMMTV's adaptation of Cherry Magic makes me think that they wouldn't screw this up (at least too bad? I still think I can tolerate it?).
