11th hour (10th episode) amnesia trope. Really?  Minato still acting like a child. The last episode saved the series.

4 hours of filler.  Could’ve been a two hour movie

VG until Ep 12; then it sort of fizzled out. Cute , happy ending.

Start/Finish — 10/2/23

J BL  aka “My Personal Weatherman”

Taiwan BL movie

Start/Finish 10/18/23

Ambiguous ending— did Shane love Jonathan or not? 

J BL   Definitely the best of the theee My Beautiful Man series. 

Start 10/16/23   Finish 10/19/23

Taiwan BL — I loved Licheng and TengTeng. But the other couple was very disquieting. SA and the creepy younger brother left a bad taste.

K BL — college campus drama. Nothing special 
Start 10/27/23   Finish 10/28/23

Excellent, but didn’t need that after credits scene.  

Start 10/20/23    Finish 10/30/23 

Thai BL.  
Lots of hype about it. Ended the way I expected it would. Loved the Mixx cameo at the end. 

Start 8/12/23   Finish 10/28/23

Thai BL   Start 10/26/23   Finish 10/31/23

Daou ooze’s charisma. Offroad’s character was seriously annoying for the first 2 episodes. Kidnapping subplot and childhood connection were totally unnecessary  

J BL   aka If It’s With You

 Start 10/26/23    Finish 11/3/23

Short and sweet. Both leads were very cute. 

Taiwan BL   Start 11/1/23   Finish 11/4/23

Taiwan BL   Office romance 

Start 9/15/23   Finish 11/10/23 

Cute leads with great chemistry. Story just ok. 

K BL  Campus romance.   Friends to enemies to lovers.   Start 11/10/23    Finish 11/11/23 

Pretty fluff, but good enough.   Miscommunication trope that could’ve been avoided with a 10 min conversation. I liked the 2 MLs.    Not as rewatchable as ODS. 

Taiwan BL   Campus romance student& teacher

Start 11/11/23    Finish 11/12/23

Taiwan BL  HS campus romance.    Writing and some acting was mediocre. The 2 leads were fine. 
Start/Finish  11/13/23

Start 11/14/23   Finish 11/19/23

A bit of a saggy middle (ep 10/11) but very good overall. 

aka “Let’s Eat Together, Haru and Aki” 

Start/finish  11/19/23

Sweet slice of life story. Not quite a BL but could be when  the guys realize their feelings for each other.  It would’ve been nice if it was 30 minutes longer so they could confess to each other. 

Taiwan BL    Office romance 

Start 11/20/23   Finish 11/21/23

Liked the enemies to lovers trope. Good second couple. Great chemistry between the MLs. Plus a Wayne Song cameo! 

Thai BL.  The ending was WTAF?  Otherwise it was beautifully done, acted, photographed. Music score was great. 

Start 11/20/23    Finish 11/29/23

Fantasy/sageuk/past lives

Start 12/4/23    Finish 12/14/23

Thai BL   Quite OTT for me. The villain was overacting something fierce. MeenPing are very cute together. 

Start 11/5/23   Finish 12/14/23

Start 12/13/23    Finish 12/17/23

Thai BL    Start 12/15/23   Finish  12/18/23

Dubious consent to start; Type is a real a**hole to start; never quite explain why/how Tharn falls for Tupen so quickly. The street scene in ep 12 could’ve been 5 min shorter. No way Mew looks like he’s 19. 

Thai BL   Add on to original story. “Meet the Parents” 

Start/Finish  12/28/23

Excellent!!

Start 12/15/27   Finish 12/27/23

Gay drama- Japan

 Start 12/21/23   Finish 12/31/23  Rather downbeat story about dealing w/the consequences of youthful bad decisions.
