The Effect

-

Let's say this right up front. I ended up hating this program. 2019 Thai BL series The Effect is not going to please everyone. It's not your typical BL, to put it mildly. You can see what it was trying to do, especially in its really fine first episode, but the end result is a complete failure. Some might appreciate it, some might even admire it, but for me, this is a BL program that's so wrong-minded, it's utterly despicable. SPOILERS WARNING: I'm going to give away everything about the story in this series, mainly so that I can make a point, but also because I want to put off as many people from watching it as possible. I make no apologies for that. Summary: Shy new university student Shin meets the kind and popular senior Keng, and over the coming weeks, the two become close. Keng is the obvious instigator of the closeness, and it draws the attention of his jealous friend and admirer Maan. When Maan anonymously releases some compromising photos of Shin and Ke...

I was drawn to watch new Thai series Kiss Me Again solely on the basis of the actor Newwiee, one of my BL favourites and a fun charismatic performer. He didn't disappoint, although that's about the limit of the interest to be found in this series. It's a prequel to 2016 drama Kiss The Series. Summary: A disparate group of five university students unite together as friends.

They hate each other, after a series of violent incidents that has set them at odds. One of these incidents ended up with them accidentally kissing. While it's clear that Kao wants to talk about his confused feelings for Pete after the kiss, Pete pushes him away angrily, leading to more violence. Their friends eventually realise that something is wrong between Pete and Kao, leading Pete to lash out at Kao even more violently and destroy the gr...

'Cause You're My Boy

I came to 2018 Thai BL series Cause You're My Boy (CYMB), also known as My Tee, after seeing a recommendation on Twitter. This series is exceptionally good, beyond anything I had anticipated after having read a synopsis of its derivative central storyline. It lacks consistency in places, and its production values are bargain-basement, but it still manages to be an instant classic, with some stints of top-notch screenplay. Big Spoilers Warning :  I reveal extensive plot details in this review, especially from episodes 6, 7 and 8. I swore I would never do this in my blog, but I've decided I want to look at some of its narrative choices more closely. I've marked the paragraph that contains spoilers, so that you're able to avoid it if you want to. Summary: High school student Mork leads an eventful rebellious life at school, surrounded by friends and having lots of fun times, though his grades are suffering. He's rather selfish and has street smarts rather than book...
