Young Royals Season 2: The First Four Minutes Hints at Revenge
Young Royals is probably one of the best love stories I have ever seen. While the back born of the series is the love story of Wilhelm and Simon, it was not the usual high school romance. It had extremely flawed yet relatable characters, and we saw a lot against the set standards of the…

Once Again BL Review: Travel through Time to Love
Review of Episodes 1-2 Once Again is the latest Korean BL in the scene. With only two released episodes (which are seemingly short), the series has already told a lot without telling anything.
