Denied Love - EP2 Review

Episode 2 had us fully in our feelings—between the wedding, the emotional layers, and that teaser ending 😭👏 Beautifully done. We just dropped our review and had a lot to say about Khem and Rin’s evolving dynamic—thank you for another amazing episode! 💜

[ms-hart2hart]

Let me start by saying #MyStubborn is not my favorite series. The main couple’s dynamic feels toxic, and Sorn’s narcissistic, borderline abusive behavior is exhausting to watch.

That said, I’m still here for one reason: #JunPenny.

Their chemistry is electric, their performances are charged and they’re delivering some of the best GL content I’ve seen—as a side couple, no less. Props to these two actresses for carrying the emotional weight of the show. You’re the real reason to watch. 👏

(your) Apple – Episodes 25-27 Review

I’ve been on a wild ride with this series – a true love-hate relationship! 💕😤 It started off strong, got seriously messy in the middle, and now... it's back to being the fun, sweet, authentic series I originally fell for!

I almost jumped ship when things got super toxic (like... really bad), but I stayed for one reason: #MeenSol. Their chemistry, authenticity, and charm had me hooked—and this weekend’s episodes? I was giddy thinking Sol was going to pull a sexy-cat-suit seduction move to win Meen over. 😏 Let’s just say... what actually happened had me cracking up in the best way! 😂

Without spoiling anything—because I respect the drop schedule—I loved what Sol’s friends did. That cheeky photo sent to Meen? 10/10 mischief. And Meen’s reaction? Perfectly in character. The push-into-the-room moment? ICONIC. 😂

As for tomorrow’s episode… 😳🔥 Let’s just say: THIS is why I stuck with it. It’s cute. It’s hot. It’s finally happening—and Sol in that teddy? Yes, please. GL actresses, please take notes: #MeenSol kiss like it matters. 💋

Kris and Karn also had their adorable moment, of course. I didn’t realize we were getting more than 24 episodes, so now I’m just enjoying the ride, hoping for a sweet, funny, feel-good ending for everyone.

Full review coming soon once the series ends. Trust me, I have thoughts. 😅 #GLSeries #yourApple

“My Love” – Cambodian GL Series Review (Complete 3 Seasons)

My Love is an emotional Cambodian GL series that tells the love story between an actress and an artist. It’s not for the faint of heart — this series will take you through a whirlwind of emotions. If you’ve seen #ThaiGL shows like Pluto or Loyal Pin, this one falls in a similar emotional lane, pulling viewers into a deeply complex relationship that evolves over three seasons. Each season increases in length and depth, giving more room to explore the characters’ journey.

Characters & Performances

The two lead actresses are undeniably talented. The emotional intensity they bring — especially the sheer volume of tearful scenes — is impressive. It’s clear they poured everything into these roles, covering a wide spectrum of emotions with authenticity.

That said, one aspect that stood out to me personally was the vocal tone and delivery of the actress playing the celebrity character. Her quick speech and high-pitched voice occasionally made her scenes feel jarring, especially next to her more stoic counterpart. Additionally, her character’s “clingy” and childlike behavior in some scenes may not resonate with all viewers. That being said, both actresses successfully brought believable and emotionally rich portrayals that drove the narrative forward.

Story & Writing

By the end of Season 2, I was genuinely impressed. The writing was tight, emotional arcs were strong, and the pacing felt deliberate — reminiscent of top-tier GL dramas like Pluto or Loyal Pin. However, Season 3 felt like a shift. While there weren’t glaring plot holes, character motivations became inconsistent, and emotional reactions sometimes felt abrupt. At times, it reminded me of tonal shifts seen in I'm Your Moon — where a character's behavior changes rapidly without clear setup.

Despite those issues, this is still one of the more compelling GL narratives I’ve watched this spring. The storytelling, when it works, is powerful and affecting.

Love Scenes

This aspect of the series felt notably underdeveloped. While it’s important to acknowledge that cultural norms can influence how intimacy is portrayed on screen, the lack of emotionally resonant love scenes created a disconnect in the storytelling. There were several moments that called for deeper expressions of affection — even a single, genuine kiss — that could have enhanced the emotional impact and underscored the bond between the characters. Unfortunately, many of these moments were sidestepped, leaving scenes feeling emotionally flat or incomplete.

When intimate gestures did occur — such as kisses on the neck or arm — they were executed so lightly and tentatively that they appeared awkward or possibly uncomfortable for the actress, which pulled me out of the moment as a viewer. These scenes, rather than strengthening the authenticity of the relationship, often felt restrained to the point of distraction.

By mid–Season 3, the couple had been together for over four years, yet we still saw only the occasional cheek kiss or brief “snuff kiss.” For a relationship that had weathered so many challenges, this ongoing lack of physical intimacy hindered the progression of their love story. It was especially surprising considering the show’s repeated references to the actress’s character as a "tiger" — a trait meant to suggest boldness and passion. That contrast between character portrayal and on-screen intimacy created a noticeable inconsistency.

While I understand that not all love stories need to rely heavily on physical affection, for many viewers, physical touch is a meaningful love language. Its absence here limited the emotional payoff in key moments.

Editing & Pacing

One of the show’s more significant challenges was pacing. Several scenes — particularly those focused on prolonged crying — were unnecessarily drawn out. A tighter edit could have enhanced the emotional impact without losing the weight of the moment. At times, I found myself fast-forwarding just to stay engaged. A more disciplined approach to editing would elevate the production value and keep the audience more invested.

[Spoiler] The ending, while happy, felt anticlimactic. A simpler conclusion — perhaps ending with the proposal or a wedding — would have been more satisfying than a decades-long time jump that didn’t add much to the emotional resolution.

Costumes & Styling

This was a definite high point of the series. The costume, makeup, and hair choices were consistently thoughtful, stylish, and well-aligned with each character’s personality. From sleek everyday looks to standout moments — like the blue Louis Vuitton pajamas — the wardrobe helped reinforce the visual identity of the characters and added a polished touch to the overall production.

The makeup was also well-executed, ranging from natural and understated looks to more glamorous appearances when the actress’s character was on set or at events. Both leads looked great throughout the series.

One small personal note: the actress character’s hair was dyed white underneath at times, and the placement near the ears occasionally clashed with her skin tone. While this may have been a stylistic choice, it was a moment where the look didn’t feel quite as flattering. That aside, the overall styling elevated the series and supported the tone and development of the characters effectively.

Final Thoughts

My Love is worth watching if you’re looking for a long-form, emotionally intense GL story that’s different from the more polished offerings in Thai series. It has heart, standout performances, and a satisfying (if slightly uneven) emotional journey.

Yes, it has its flaws — some character inconsistencies, pacing issues, and underwhelming intimacy — but it also offers genuine emotional payoffs, strong acting, and a unique perspective in the GL genre.

One last note for seasoned GL viewers: if you’ve found yourself yelling at your screen during shows like Affair, Us, or TLP, be prepared — one character in My Love may test your patience in the same way. The writing around this character is so effective in its portrayal of toxic traits that it left me shouting at my TV more than once. And that’s a credit to both the writing and performance.

Karn Deserves Better—Enter Tiwa 💅

That’s it. I’m all in on Karn + Tiwa 💘 Kris? Girl, no. The way she came at Karn? Uncalled for. Kris is spiraling and I’m so over it. You don’t come for your partner like that—especially one dealing with fame, scrutiny, and your entire emotional baggage. 🥴 Kris’ jealousy and lack of communication are giving 🚩. Tiwa, on the other hand, has been nothing but solid. Supportive, professional, and respectful—even with very obvious feelings brewing 😏. She’s playing it cool and smart, never crossing a line, just being there when Karn needs someone real. Proud of Karn for finally standing up for herself. Watching her vibe with Tiwa, make friends, and gain clarity? Chef’s kiss. 👏 Karn deserves peace, perspective, and someone who actually gets her world.

Calling all my ladies who love ladies 👀💅🏽 Serious question: when you're watching a GL series and one of the leads has those long acrylic nails... does it totally take you out of the story too?

I swear, it's becoming a trend, and while the aesthetics might slay, the practicality just ain’t adding up. Like Jim told Sam in GAP the Series: "Remove these fake nails before you start your mission tonight… because they will hurt!" 💀

That line lives rent-free in my head. At least give us the Pluto approach—shoutout to Film’s character keeping two nails short. Now that’s realism, folks. 😂

GL producers, we love the love—but can we get a little more attention to... the details?

Review: Stay With Me Series

First off, congratulations to the team—it's clear a lot of heart, effort, and care went into the 3 seasons, and for a smaller production company, that’s truly commendable. The show was charming, and I especially appreciated the thoughtful styling—the outfits and jewelry stood out beautifully.

That said, to elevate future seasons and compete with larger GL productions, I’d love to offer a few suggestions:

Story Development – Some plot points felt underdeveloped or unclear (e.g., why a 21-year-old would need a nanny, or why they stayed at the grandmother’s house despite the odd cousin dynamic). A bit more narrative clarity would really strengthen the series.

Relationship Depth – As the relationship progressed, the intimacy remained fairly static. More emotional and physical depth (beyond just pecks) would add authenticity and better reflect the evolution of the romance.

Scene Pacing – A few emotional scenes lingered a bit too long on facial expressions, which occasionally broke the flow. A tighter edit would help maintain engagement.

Overall, I appreciate the visibility and care this series brings to queer stories and look forward to seeing more from these talented actors and your creative team!
