I Told Sunset about You (2020) and I Promised You the Moon (2021)

 I Told Sunset about You and its sequel I Promise You the Moon are both on the same level of A Tale of Thousand Stars for me: beautiful cinematography, very respectful of the country traditions (and therefore a little too far from my standard), good actors. But I couldn't fall into the story. The first kiss between Teh and Oh-aew is beautiful, and again fantastic cinematography, and I really think this is probably a series that goes beyond the BL genre. This last comment is valid for the first part, I Told Sunset about You, I think I Promise You the Moon ruined a little bit my liking of Teh and Oh-aew. HEA. You can see it on Viki. Heat Level: 4/6.

Heat Level:

1/6: glances, caress, hugs, no kisses

2/6: kisses, closed mouth or camera angles

3/6: full kisses, clothes on

4/6: full kisses, some clothes off, hands above the waist, pants stay on

5/6: most clothes off, they have sex, but it’s masked, no sexy sounds

6/6: full nudity mostly hidden by camera angles, they have sex, sexy sounds

My Love Mix-Up! (2021)

 My Love Mix-Up! was very cute and sweet; the slow burning love story between Aoki and Ida may discourage some of the viewers, but I have to say that, even if Ida is not yet convinced of his feelings for Aoki, he is nevertheless caring and gentle with him, and also a little bit physical, so that, even those that like their series to be a little more sexy will not be disappointed, you can clearly see the evolution of their feelings even without the actual kiss happening. HEA. You can see it on Viki. Heat level: 1/6.

The Middleman's Love (2023)

 The Middleman's Love was a pleasant surprise; sure, there are some faults, but all in all, it was way better than many other series I have seen lately, therefore not sure why it's rated so love in the ranking of 2023. Anyway, starting from the faults, yes Jade was a little too much something, and some of his expressions, instead of being cute, were putting me off the mood, especially when they were during the intimate moments with Mai. But Mai, OMG, he was so sexy, and yet so tender; he was this sort of mix of sex on legs demon with an angelic face, and want me to start when he put on Jade's glasses? he was even more sexy. Anyway the sex scenes (two of them), I think they mixed up somewhat filming for sex scene 1 with sex scene 2: the feeling was they wanted to have just one sex scene, but then they decide a second one right at the end, so basically they tried to cut the footage in two. And in sex scene 1, what happened at first? without going into too much technical details, I think they wanted to imply that at first they limited to kisses (and maybe something more), but not full intercourse, and then Jade decided to go for it... but here the awkardness is not actor's fault, it's the screenwriter that I think messed up the dialogue. Anyway, as I said, better than expected. Tutor Koraphat Lamnoi is plenty worthy watching (those lips are XXX rated, he is not kissing Jade, he is eating him), and lucky us, he is in almost all the scenes. HEA. You can see it on iQIYI, YouTube, GagaOOLala and Viki. Heat Level: 5/6.

No HEA series

BIG SPOILER ahead, do not read if you don't want to... Drama I will not review on a principle that if it's romance, it has to have a HEA, or at least an HEA for now.
