My Ride รักนาย (Thai Series OST)
My Ride รักนาย (Thai title is Love You) is a new Thai BL series that premiered last night, January 27, 2022. There are so many Thai BL series coming out in the early part of this year I really can’t keep track of… However this is one series that looks interesting in storyline but I’ll have to wait a bit before starting to watch it. At the moment, my watching list is already so full with Korean series Snowdrop (So GOOD, a spy thriller with a romantic plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat), Japanese series Kei × Yaku (interesting development in episode 2 with the revelation that Shiro is bisexual) & the long titled Ikemen series (comedy with depth), and finally the one Thai series that I’m actually enjoying, Paint with Love. Then also on my to-watch list is the upcoming Taiwanese series 49 Days with a Merman which is coming in early February. So most new Thai series will have to take a back seat in the next few weeks since many Thai series have proven to be quite disappointing recently…

What If There Were a High School for Ikemen Only もしも、イケメンだけの高校があったら (Japanese Series OST)
What If There Were a High School for Ikemen Only もしも、イケメンだけの高校があったら (Moshimo, Ikemen Dake no Koukou ga Attara) is a new 10-episode Japanese series that premiered on January 15, 2022. Handsomeness contest for high school boys? Sounds ridiculous? I watched out of curiosity, thinking it might be a silly comedy, but to my surprise it has substantial plotline! Another series added to my watch list…

Professional Body Double 職業替身 (Audio Drama OST)
Currently following Shui Qian Cheng 水千丞’s latest 188 novel, Alpha Predator 頂級掠食者, and Yan Mingxiu 晏明修 from Professional Body Double 職業替身 has already made a guest appearance in the early chapters and immediately declared he is a married man… I remember reading somewhere someone mentioned that these 188 bastards always appeared as the perfect husbands when they are in someone else’s novels, nobody would have guessed the awful things they did in their own novel. So true, LOL… Anyway I suddenly realised I haven’t checked if there was an audio drama for Professional Body Double and theme songs from it. Well of course there was and two seasons of it…

Kei×Yaku: Dangerous Partners ケイ×ヤク－あぶない相棒－ (Japanese Series OST)
Kei×Yaku: Dangerous Partners ケイ×ヤク－あぶない相棒－ (Kei×Yaku: Abunai Aibou) is an upcoming 10-episode Japanese “pretend BL” series based on the manga series of the same name by Kaoruhara Yoshie 薫原好江. Kei×Yaku (Keisatsu/police × Yakuza/Japanese mafia) is also a play on words, as keiyaku 契約 in Japanese means contract or agreement which is the “lover’s contract” in the plotline of this pretend BL series… The series will premiere on January 13, 2022 in Japan. They have also announced the 2 songs for the series will be sung by the newly formed Japanese boy group, OCTPATH, with 8 former contestants from season 2 of the reality show, Produce 101 Japan. Officially their debut single, It’s a Bop, which will be the first OST song for the series will be released on February 9, 2022, but it’ll be unveiled in the first episode of the series. Their second OST song, Be with You, will be unveiled in the second episode on January 20, 2022.

Something In My Room ผมกับผีในห้อง (Thai Series OST)
Something In My Room ผมกับผีในห้อง is an upcoming 10-episode Thai BL series that will premiere on January 19, 2022. It is adapted from the Thai comics of the same name by Raflael_M. After reading the synopsis, it gave me the vibe of the 2019’s Thai BL series, He’s Coming to Me, as it also has the plot of solving the case of the death of the ghost in the story. However, I’m not sure if it will be a light-hearted story as He’s Coming to Me or it will be more scary in tone, but I will definitely give this series a go…
