10 Thai BLs that would improve if leads swapped with sides
By this I mean if the actors playing the side characters actually got to play the main characters.
1. Golden Blood would star:
2. Destiny Seeker would star:
Some shows (more than I realized) the roles of the leads were too flawed so I wouldn't want to hand it to the side actors.
I’d rather have just seen a whole show about that side couple as characters, with the main characters now relegated to sides, and these are:
3. ForthBeam leading 2Moons2
4. Gen Y 2 would feature PokTongue (I forget their character names *insert clown emoji*)
5. VegasPete would lead KinnPorsche VegasPete (nash)
6. My Engineer would have been all RamKing all day:
7. Moonlight Chicken would have been these 2 (sorry EarthMix stans):
8. These would have had the main story in Secret Crush On You
(It probably would have become my favorite Bl of all time)
9. These ones in Top Secret Together
10. And, of course, my favorite sides OF ALL TIME RainPayu would lead Oh My Sunshine Night (sorry OhmFluke)
Some of them I don’t want to give even the side characters to that franchise (anything Mame).
Which is why no...
On this list.
Although if someone else would like to do something with these characters....

Secret Crush on You Ep 14
-It's cute that Nuea really wants to make sure Toh's parents approve of him. I don't think he's ever encountered people who didn't like him before.
-Toh's mom=actual queen.
-Sky...of course perfect for winning over parents and I love that she was so happy for Jao.
-Careful Som, your jealousy is showing.
-Daisy is so precious. I love that Touch was so clear with him, that he likes Daisy for who he is, however he wants to present. Also, surprised to see Daisy say that they're trans. I feel like in BLs we see a fair amount of trans actors and characters, especially in comparison to 'traditional' (read straight) media, but not much discussion around it.
-I do love the drunkies, I will say that. They work hard all week, they deserve to let loose if they want.
-Oh no...."It's Friday Nuea, what about my lessons?" Jesus Lord, Papa Toh is gonna catch them making out I just know it....I pray it's just making out....
-Fuck I was right....I can't tell for sure, but the vibes I get from Papa Toh are far more 'I do not wanna see my kid making out with anyone' and not homophobic or 'I dislike Nuea in particular'. At worst I think it's a case of 'No one is good enough for my baby.'
-I am very confused about this dropping the lime scene. I rewound it twice and still can't figure out what's going on.
-Nuea & Papa Toh confrontation....please don't murder Nuea and bury him in the garden!!! He loves Toh!!
-These nosy fuckers eavesdropping so obviously.
-I was right!!! Papa just didn't want to see it (which is fair).
-Papa Toh is really just grouchy, much like Nuea's Dad. "I hate that you're handsome." What? -- OMG!!! Papa Toh is grouchy because Ma also thinks Nuea is handsome!!! Amazing!!!
-I don't know what the competition is, and I'd say they're playing tops v. bottoms, but we all know that Som is the top, let's not be ridiculous.
-Aww, match hats....so cute. And important, it's very important to protect against sun damage!!
-Like...I know it's product placement, but I like the face wash ad, I don't care.
-Some true words of wisdom from Mama and Papa Toh. Very sweet.
-Yes Sky- Lock it down!!! (Also, again with the cool shirts, the teeny birdies, I love it.)
-I absolutely love Sky's elementary school friends dragging him. That's true friendship.
{Return EDIT: I really loved the whole sequence of Sky taking Jao to the places that have been important to him and introducing him to people he knows and cares about, but it wasn't until I was writing the Master post for all of my little watch alongs that I realized, it's not just about giving Jao a chance to learn more about Sky and his life, since they haven't known each other their whole lives, he's specifically going around and introducing him to everyone that matters to him to show Jao how important he is to Sky and to reinforce that he's not ever been and never will be ashamed of him. And that's just so damn precious!!!!}
-OMG That present was so cute!!!! Jao you romantic little peach!!!
-Everybody watching and 'awwwwing'- adorable!
-Sweet university memories. So cute.
[I just went to title this post and thought somewhere I had combined two episodes into one post because Viki auto plays, but no I just labelled my last two posts as ep 12, but they were 12 & 13.]
-I keep forgetting that this show gets very spicy sometimes and I'm watching at work...
-Aww....Nuea added Toh to the stalker wall 'because their crushes aren't a secret anymore'. That's so precious and weird. God, I can't handle it.
And we're up to the finale!!!
Score for this ep- absolute 10/10, 11/10 even. So good, so sweet. I love it!!!
Awkwardness rating- I think only like 4/10, the dad seeing them make-out, kind awkward. And then the stalker wall made a return, but awkwardness was heavily reduced since Nuea decided to make it a couple's stalker wall.
*Edit: Turns out this was the finale, and it did feel quite finale-ish while I was watching, but Viki listed 15 episode, but the last episode is just a 'Making of--' thing, so...
Final thoughts of the series as a whole: I really liked it. Like a lot. It's honestly like a 9/10 for me. It is hard to push through the secondhand embarrassment sometimes, so I can see why people struggle with it. Also, the summary on most sites is doing nothing to sell it, for real. As many different types of queer representation are present in this show, it definitely should be hyped more.
I dunno, I may make another post if I have more in-depth thoughts, but I 100% recommend watching. It's fun, silly and full of heart.

P’Abl did you know that Opp Weerapong who played Touch in SCOY debuted in a kpop group called THE7? Because I didn’t until I spotted him in a tiktok. No one in the comments section recognized him from the drama though. Maybe that’s for the best…
I did not know this.
I did wonder where he'd gone, there is no way Thailand would just let that boy fade out of the industry. I was expecting him to lead a new pulp of some kind.
I saw THE7 bouncing around my Kpop YouTube but I'm exhausted by 4th Gen these days so I didn't bother to watch (not that I would have recognized him).
Now, of course, I will go investigate.
Given what happened with Boys Planet I don't think there is that much of a stigma anymore (in Korean production houses) on having done BL. I mean Mnet was GUNNING for Kim Ji Woong and he'd done 2 BLs and sort of even cobranded.
He pretty, but he not that pretty (if cultural taboo was still set firmly against him).
Like all things in Hallyu I think we can blame the wave of 2nd & 3rd gens doing BL and paving the way to production house acceptance tolerance.
I'm happy for Opp, he has the right look and I hope he has the talent to carry the group. 4th Gen Kpop needs all the outside blood it can get, Korea seems to have throughly tapped their own base if recent survival shows are anything to go by.
Ohh, I haven't had my coffee yet. I am very salty.
I suppose I should add Opp to the Kpop idol tracking roster.
More about my love for Opp's character in SCOY, and me losing my ever-loving mind over Touch & Daisy here:
