It’s truly gratifying that this series continued beyond its second season, as I expressed in my earlier review – I wasn’t prepared to say goodbye to these compelling characters. The final season delivers an extraordinary conclusion that lives up to expectations. While this marks the end of the journey, what a remarkable finale it proves…

This four-episode mini-series presents a straightforward BL narrative with a supernatural element. Despite its brief runtime of approximately 22 minutes per episode, the story might have been more effectively conveyed as a short written piece. However, the production appears to have prioritized promotional marketing for its sponsors, which becomes quite overt throughout the series. Originating…

While I thoroughly enjoyed the first season of this series, I must express my disappointment with how season 2 failed to meet expectations. Adam’s humorous antics in season one brought numerous laughs and smiles, but in this installment, his behavior felt contrived. The seven-episode season, with each episode running approximately 20 minutes, picks up where…

The film I recently viewed was profoundly disappointing in both execution and production quality. What could have been a compelling narrative about love and societal perceptions of immigrants instead came across as amateurish at best. While the core story concept showed promise—a transgender hairdresser in Barcelona forming an unlikely romance with a young Moroccan immigrant—the…

Living With Him presents a gentle, slice-of-life romance that meticulously builds the evolving dynamic between its two male protagonists as they navigate their complex emotions. While the narrative remains emotionally driven rather than plot-heavy, the pacing occasionally feels prolonged despite its concise eight-episode format, each running approximately 23 minutes. The series excels in delivering wholesome…
