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.

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.

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.
