Naked Dining (2023)

 Naked Dining was quite strange, and despite the quirk of Ichijo Sota who likes to dine completely naked to expel all the negative toxins accumulated during the day, this is not a series heavy on the sex. Actually it's quite innocent, and the love story between Ichijo Sota and Miki Mahiro is slow but nice. I really like the character of Miki Mahiro, he is like a charger, when Ichijo Sota is near him it's like he is absorbing positive energy. Liked also the rural setting, and the supporting characters, especially Miki's coworker. Anyway, not sure why this series does not have higher rates, it was a charming one. HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala. Heat Level: 3/6.

Venus in the Sky (2023)

 I really wanted to like Venus in the Sky, I started it three times, but it was sort of boring I think. And there were side aspects that really put me off, like the scene with the brother having sex with his boyfriend, instead of being sexy, it was awkward. Sincerely I'm not sure why I didn't really enjoy this, the main actors are nice, sort of ordinary men but handsome, and the love story between them is not bad. Really like how Sky tries to conquer again Venus, he is sort of clumsy and sexy, a dead combination in certain cases. So yes, maybe it was my mood, maybe I have to try seeing it for the 4th times. HEA. You can see it on iQIYI. Heat Level: 6/6.

Star Struck (2023)

 Star Struck is a good opportunity that didn't reach the goal. I mean, the actors are good, the cinematography is good, they are realistic characters and the love story is the classical friends to lovers thrope, so there are all the elements to make this very good, but I think they spent too much on the drama and quarrelling, rather than on the romance between Yoo Jae and Han Joon. So much that at one point I wondered if this was really a love story and not instead just the story of the friendship between them. Even the kiss was camera angle, not really appealing to someone who loves BL romance. HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala and iQIYI. Heat Level: 2/6.

My Dearest Cop by Niyama

A young patrolman harbors secret feelings for a middle-aged shop owner on his beat!

When a young patrolman gets assigned to a small town, he runs into an old acquaintance, and a casual comment from the older man leads to a fluttering heart and renewed feelings.

Seiji Tajima runs a convenience store in a small town, and thanks to his easygoing attitude toward much of life, he’s still single. Tall, muscular patrolman Shin Nakamoto is a frequent visitor to Seiji’s rather desolate shop, and although the two met ten years earlier, they only recently reconnected after Shin was assigned to the police box nearby. Despite the years apart, they start interacting like nothing has changed—that is, until Seiji offhandedly remarks that maybe he should try his luck with men, unwittingly restoking the flame Shin has held for him for years!

Past-Senger (2023)

 Past-Senger was quite an original plot, taking inspiration from Back to the Future (on the reverse). Kiao from the 1990s is sent to the 2022 and meets Bamee, the son of one of his friends. Most of the series is quite ordinary, once Kiao realizes he is stuck in the 2022, he lives a pretty normal life, going to school, falling in love, etc, etc. But he is always searching for a way to go back in time, most of all to save his family. The fact that he is in a relationship with Kiao is sort of in the back of his mind, when they separates, Kiao asks Bamee to not forget him, and that is sort of egoistic on Kiao's side. Moreover a 40+ years old Kiao reappears in front of Bamee and they just continues like nothing? No one is complaining about the fact that Kiao is basically robbing the cradle? Ok, ok, lets my realistic mind take a step back and just be glad they had an HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala. Heat Level: 3/6.

Low Frequency (2023)

 Low Frequency was good but nothing to talk home about. The plot around Mon's ability to see ghosts, and the fact he is able to see Thames, was a good starting point, but then, the reason why Thames was supposedly killed (he is actually in coma in a bed hospital) seemed a little bit too weak for such an output. Moreover it was very slow, and therefore boring. Also I didn't like much the chemistry between Mon and Thames, they were nice as separate roles, but according to me, they didn't work as a couple. HEA. You can see it on iQIYI. Heat Level: 3/6.

Be Mine SuperStar (2023)

 I don't have a strong opinion about Be Mine SuperStar, I think it has a good start, but it went a little bit derailed along the course. Both couples are nice, I probably preferred Namning and Mingmueang, because they were a little more naughty. Punn and Ashi were more ordinary, a hardcore fan falling in love with his obsession. I'm not sure how easy it's for a fan to be in contact with his favorite superstar in real life, and the fact that Punn was allowed to live in the house of Ashi seemed a little bit unrealistic. Said that, Punn was cute, and his love for Ashi was sincere. Ashi using Punn as guinea pig to understand gay love was probably, again, unrealistic, but well, they had to find a reason for Ashi to allow Punn into his life. Overall, a nice series. HEA. You can see it on iQIYI and Viki. Heat Level: 6/6.
