Escape Journey by Tanaka Ogeretsu

Naoto and Taichi’s turbulent high school love crashed and burned, but a reunion in college puts love back on their radar.

Naoto and Taichi’s first try at love during their high school days crashed and burned. Years later the two unexpectedly reunite on their first day of college. Tumultuous love often burns hot, and the glowing embers of their previous relationship reignite into a second try at love.

It’s Naoto’s first day of college, and the last person he expected to see was his high school ex Taichi, whom he’d dumped after a huge argument. Even though years have passed, Naoto finds he’s still steamed over some of the harsh words that were exchanged, but he also recognizes how much Taichi has matured since then and can’t help getting pulled back in. Will the discovery of his friend’s crush on Taichi fray the fragile threads of this mending relationship?

Work From Heart (2022)

 I like the starting point of Work From Heart, the taxi driver who simpatetically talk with his customer about love. But after that, the series didn't progress to a good plot, actually it was sort of collecting holes, like, how it's possible that a full time of an ad agency, is also a taxi driver? And that a CEO in a gay relationship accepts to enforce a company law discriminating LGBT employees... These are just two of the holes in the plot. So yes, there is little I save of this series, the main one is "Gameplay" Garnapaphon Laolerkiat that I like just for being on the screen. He has little chemistry with his co-star, but he is kissing other characters as well, so maybe they are trying to profit from his presence on screen. HEA. You can see it on WeTV. Heat Level: 3/6.

Unforgotten Night (2022)

 Unforgotten Night was a totally forgettable series. The supposedly sadistic Kamol was totally laughable, and the Unforgotten Night of the title, instead of being sexy and intensive, was like a bad parody of a BDSM story, seemed like written by someone who does not have idea of what BDSM is. Plus, sorry, but I cannot stand "Yoon" Phusanu Wongsasavanichakorn, everytime I see him on screen, I cringe. Anyway, there is little to save in this series, I like the attitude of Kamol, he is pursuing Kim, but he is sort of giving Kim the upper hand in their relationship, letting him be and do what he wants. The mafia setting and everything surrounding it was, again, sort of a parody, I didn't fall for it at all. HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala, iQIYI and Viki. Heat Level: 5/6.

The Tuxedo (2022)

 The Tuxedo could have been one of my favorites: both main actors are really nice, the setting is wonderful (the same house of Payu in Love in the Air) and the budget is good, the details are really nice. But the story, while starting in a good way, and giving me expectations, didn't progress much and in the end was sort of boring. The development of the characters was sort of unrealistic, the main role Nawee, with his fobia of going out the house, wasn't well developed or explained. So in the end we have cute characters in a beautiful setting, not bad to see, but nothing much than that. HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala and WeTV. Heat Level: 4/6.

Fangs by Billy Balibally

"What kind of guy is unlucky enough to get bitten... and survive?"

As the sole survivor of a vampire attack, En wakes up to find that his hair has gone white as snow... and, worse, that he's developed a craving of his own for blood.

Fortunately, the vampire health and welfare organization FANGS is there to help with the transition, and the handsome Ichii steps up as his guardian and mentor. Swept up into a confusing and lonely new world where everyone seems to be hankering for a taste of his "virgin" blood, En must navigate the FANGS pairing system, an arrangement that sets up compatible vampires as mutual feeding partners... and partners in all other ways as well. But what happens when En panics and declares that he'll be paired with Ichii? And what does brooding, rough-around-the-edges Ichii make of his spunky, outgoing new charge?
