Love Sick (2014)

 Love Sick have two seasons and 1 spin-off, ReminderS. If not for the spin-off, I wouldn't probably have recommended this series. For most of the time Noh and Phun are separated, from their own stupidity I would say. ReminderS is the only part where you can see them as a couple, but again with a little bit of drama (even if it's soon resolved). The actor doing Noh is also completely different in this last part, so much that at time I had difficulty to reconcile the two of them (it's the same actor, but with 5 years more under the belt). Anyway, high school/college romance, fake dating, real dating with jealousy, ex-girlfriend causing trouble... did I list most of the common thropes of a BL series? HEA. You can see it on Netflix (s1 and s2) and iQIYI (ReminderS). Heat Level: 2/6.

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

Night Flight (2014)

 Night Flight is not your sweet high school romance, on the contrary it's violent, dark and for most of the time I was terrified about the ending. So big spoiler at the beginning, it has an HEA, even if I still do not understand how these two boys can find happiness in the world they are living. More, Gi Woong is most of the time so cruel with Yong Ju that it was difficult to reconcile him being interested in Yong Ju with his bullying persona. But little by little, I started to feel pain for Gi Woong, and I wanted for him to be able, for once, to have something beautiful in his life, Yong Ju. Heat Level: 2/6.

Absolute Zero (2023)

 Absolute Zero gave me travel sickness (pun intended). The jumping of Suansoon and Ongsa in time was a little bit confusing, at one point I was thinking, OK now who knows what? And if you consider the butterfly effect, everything should have been changed in their life... Anyway, interesting concept, not really big on the idea that an older Suansoon had a relationship with a younger Ongsa, a relationship no one seemed to find strange, but OK, this is a time travel series, not real life. Said that, I think that I like a lot Ongsa, in both versions, younger and older, not really sold on Suansoon, in both versions. It's so much complicated that I would not spoil you saying it's HEA, because just trying to understand how you will arrive to it is most of the series' value. You can see it on iQIYI. Heat Level: 2/6.
