Not a pure BL-themed series, but it’s the BL portion that matters in this drama. All the other components – cast, storyline, whatever – are of little significance, if at all. I’m talking about Kiss Me Again (2018).

Pete (Tay) and Kao (New) are at loggerheads due to a previous incident. But an accidental ‘kiss’; may change all that.

Another GMM 25 production, this time, the cast is composed of 3 heterosexual couples, with a single BL couple thrown in. Pete (Tay Tawan Vihokratana) is an aggressive, and unpleasant student. The other half of the pair Kao (New Thitipoom Techaapaikhun) likes to keep everything smooth and easy-going. There was a previous incident that alienated both. However, the current plot machinations forced them to ‘cohabitate’ with 3 other friends.

An accidental ‘kiss’ between the two raised a precarious situation into something on the verge of the explosive. Is the animosity between them going to get even stronger? Or will love blossom? Sounds a bit cliché doesn’t it? But thanks to the on-screen chemistry between Tay and New, what could have been a predictable series turned into something entertaining.

A spinoff – Our Skyy – has been released just a few weeks ago (outside Thailand, of course) and a sequel entitled Dark Blue Kiss has been announced for this year.

There’s plenty of smooching between Tay and New, and it’s expected to continue in the sequel.

Rating: 3.75out of 5 stars.
