After such an amazing first season with just eight episodes, unfortunately Amazon’s new time travel series, Paper Girls has been cancelled. It was announced just a little over a month after its debut, it seemed that despite the good reviews and acceptance from fans, it just wasn’t pulling enough numbers that Amazon needed to renew for a second season. This just sucks because the series ended in a cliffhanger, I can only hope that another streaming service picks it up.

Have you checked out Thai BL series; Ghost Host Ghost House?
If yes, awesome. If no, why the heck not? Not going to lie, I started this series majorly because of the aesthetics of the two main leads but the plot, spookiness and chemistry drew me in completely and I must say that this series is one of the best Thai BLs produced this year. It stars rookie actors, Tod Techit Panyanarapon and Boy Nattapon Wongvanich. It is still airing with just six episodes out.

Love in the Air ends after 13 episodes
8 stars. I would say that I really enjoyed watching LITA, even though watching it came with many days of patiently waiting for new episodes every week. I loved the main leads; RainPhayu and SkyPrapai. Rain’s story was very steamy, sexual and exactly like a storm, while Sky’s story was sad and traumatic. Big ups to MAME because she knows how to write good stories and cast perfect actors(refer to TharnType and Don’t Say No) even though they always have a type of pattern. Boss, Noeul, Peat and Fort all acted so well and according to their parts. I loved the soundtracks as well, all in all the series is a great watch.
For Fans of BounPrem, Between Us the series has started airing!
After so many years of waiting, episodes of Boun and Prem’s Between Us have started airing. Occurring parallel to the events of “Until We Meet Again,” the story focuses on how Win and Team come to know and inspire growth in each other. Just two episodes have been released and they have been good so far; we get to see the steamy but beautiful love story between Win and Team, there are also glimpses of Dean and Pharm’s story and we also get to see Manow again! Some additional characters have been added and I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds. It is available on Qiyi.
