I honestly think this might be the first time I’ve actually enjoyed a proper horror BL. I’ve checked out a few others in the past, but they usually felt a bit unpolished or amateurish—I can’t even remember their names, to be honest. This one is definitely a slow-burn rather than a fast-paced romance, tucked away inside a world of supernatural mysteries and fantastic secrets. You can tell the production is high-quality and well-researched; it feels like the creators really pushed themselves to give the audience something fresh. If you’re into BLs mixed with suspense and ghost stories, this is right up your alley. Just a heads-up: it’s a massive time investment. There are 12 episodes, each over 75 minutes, and the finale is basically a two-hour movie. The story follows Khem, a young guy in his twenties whose life is getting harder by the second because of a heavy family curse that lets him see ghosts. There’s this terrifying rule in his family where the boys don’t live past age 20, so hi...
So whose murder mystery are the bears solving this time? Lets see. Nelson and Todd have decided to get married. But at their wedding shower 2 weeks prior to the d-day, Nelson’s best friend gets poisoned and this is where the search begins. Even though Nelson never liked his friend because of professional rivalry of being an actor, he agrees that the culprit needs to be found. Reggie through his sources and his TV show agrees to lead this with the help of usual gang of detectives and his friends. My fav character Wood decides to open a sporting underwear store for which we do see a lot of hunky hot men and hence suspects as well in the process. A lot of new characters are also introduced so that we cant guess who the killer is including Todd’s brother with a drug background, Nelson’s fag hag and his parents and many others. While they still haven’t solved the mystery of the death, Todd is shot as well at the wedding and thats when the story is told in flashback. The mystery is ultimately solved but there is a little more to the story than just the mystery of the murder.
The series was fun as always but as I have mentioned before, you need to know what to expect out of this series. There will be flat lame jokes, which y now you have got used to but still funny. The episodes are all small enough to watch them in one setting. Wood is still my favorite character and the whole episode of quiz game was quite funny. Nelson, still for some reason annoys me. I need to do some introspection. Todd and Reggie are quite good and the undercover CBI guy is super super hot. My recommendation would be to watch the movie version of the series because that will keep you more engaged.
The actors have gotten better, especially the supporting cast. I’d watch another season but wont be dying to watch it. (5.5/10)
