I Only Want to Keep Looking at You (2022)

 I Only Want to Keep Looking at You is a very intimate story, yes, it's a BL series, but it's not like many I have seen, it's more allegoric and slow, mostly played in one spot, the spot where Sakura confesses his feelings to Yuma and kisses him. And after this sudden event, there is not drama, or sudden reaction, but again a series of vignettes of Sakura and Yuma. So, sincerely, I'm not sure I completely understood these two boys, maybe I'm too far from their culture. But let me say, there is no drama, and apparently it's an HEA, that is a plus for me. Heat Level: 2/6.

My Ride (2022)

 My Ride is basically a sweet romance, the thrope here is the class difference between Tawan, a doctor, and Mork, a motorcycle taxi driver. Plus there are the additional thrope of Tawan being already involved with another man, Por, a fellow doctor, and Mork being recently dumped by his girlfriend, so supposedly not gay, at minimum bisexual. But Mork does not give me the impression he has been interested in a man before, so Tawan is his first same-sex relationship. The story is well developed, maybe dragging a little too much the triangle between Mork-Tawan-Por, but indeed that is the main point of the series. HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala. Heat Level: 3/6.

Never Let Me Go (2022)

 Never Let Me Go was way sweeter than expected. Maybe the reason is that the bodyguard-client relationship is played by high schooler, and in reality, Palm is just another kid, with not a real training to be a bodyguard, and Nuengdiao is yes a spoiled kid, but not one that his purposedly behaving badly. This could have been just another high school romance, and indeed that is the part I prefer. Moreover, if you liked "Perth" Tanapon Sukumpantasan in Love by Chance as Pete, here he has another nice role as Chopper, and I will spoil you saying he has his own romance, sometine stealing the scene to Nuengdiao and Palm. HEA. You can see it on Viki. Heat Level: 4/6.

The Warp Effect (2022)

 The Warp Effect is not at all the stupid comedy series someone would expect. It addresses a lot of important themes, and there is a mix of hetero and LGBT couples all of them giving the right amount of time, and the right relevance and treatment. Of course Army and Joe stole the scene for me, and to my opinion, of all the sexy scenes in the series, and there are many, those between them were the most sexy but also sweet. I also liked they introduced a theme that is not often, actually never, discussed in a BL series, the sexual dynamics of the couple, who is top, who is bottom, and in this case, a gay man who doesn't like penetrative sex. Yes, you heard me right, they managed to deal with such a sensitive topic, without making fun of it and neither trying to find a "solution", this is not something you can solve, this is an important side of you partner, trying to solve it you basically are saying your partner is wrong in his sexuality. Anyway, I liked basically everything of this series, even the main, straight, male lead, and how he is living and thriving among his eterogenous group of friends. HEA. You can see it on Youtube.
