Babe truly lives in a bachelor pad and I love it
Car in the living room
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Literal hole in the wall as a door (Love, Love, Love, adds to the industrial look)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was going to question the Motorcycle on carpet inside the house but I looked it up and apparently it’s actually good for the floor? Idk but it makes sense now.
Tumblr media
Long ass counter with a no real stove but instead a portable stove and small pots
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The rusted light stand in the bedroom that looks like it’s for an outside Garage or stage
Tumblr media
The mini cars in different parts of his house either as toys or decor (I think this connect to his lack of a childhood)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I really need to see the layout of his house in its entirety. Set Design went crazy. Next thing you know we’ll be seeing a fish tank with no fish inside but mini toy cars instead.

10 Anticipated BLs for 2024
Since I'm excited for ALL the GLs (Pluto, 23.5, Sunshine in the Wind, Chaser Game, Be Mine, y todo!), I'm making my list of the 10 BLs I'm excited for this year with brief reasons why I'm looking forward to them. In my normal fashion, I cheat my way into having more. All except one is Thai because Thailand loves to tease series three years in advance, then never make them, but I strongly believe these are coming:
The Next Prince
Tumblr media
Zee continues to never play a poor person, and a trailer is supposed to drop in the first quarter of this year. I never knew there was so many fencers on BL Tumblr, so I'm looking forward to everyone's commentary on how well the characters poke with their sticks or whatever fencers do.
Jack & Joker: U Steal My Heart
Tumblr media
It's a heist BL. It has YinWar. It has Prom x Mark. It has Bonz. It's Dee Hup House (we got beef). It's Director Tee and probably Cinematographer Jim. It might have color coding. There is not one thing I can find wrong with this series. It's perfect on paper, and I'm praying that translates well to the screen.
Spare Me Your Mercy
Tumblr media
Like that lady in Titanic, I've been waiting 80 years for this series (give me a minute to cry about MaxTul), and it's finally near! I'm getting JJ & Tor in a Dr. Sammon piece, who I feel writes "Be Gay, Do Crime" very well, so I'll be forgiving any of these two gays' wrongs including murder, attempted murder, contemplating murder, and murdering each other in the bedroom (ahhhh!).
Wandee Goodday
Tumblr media
Golf from The Eclipse is directing. It's about Muay Thai. It has an older doctor and a younger boxer who start off as bed friends (and I think one is actually a virgin). It has color coding. It has me already seated and waiting with popcorn, and I think it might be the first offering that will be delivered from GMMTV's 2024 lineup.
Sequels: Choco Milk Shake 2, Unintentional Love Story 2, My Doctor
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Is Choco Milk Shake 2 gonna finally give me poly? Probably not, but I hope My Doctor brings the same heat the side couple did in Be Mine, Superstar, and the side couple getting the spotlight in Unintentional Love Story 2 will also make my side-couple-supremacy heart very happy this year.
Live in Love
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It looks color coded. That's it. That's the reason. Keeping my expectations low because it might not get made since this is Thailand's favorite game.
Red Peafowl
Tumblr media
The character reveals were absolute chaos, so I'm hoping that chaos transfers over to the actual series because it can either be a mess or a masterpiece, but it cannot be mediocre with Max, Cooheart, Boun, Mek, and Yacht as supports. Plus, it has color coding and a bird that is quickly becoming a Tumblr god.
Love Upon a Time
Tumblr media
Even though it is a historical queer series, which means it could be sad, I think Domundi will keep the sass, so James' character won't be crying in the 1600s club but instead eating fruit seductively to encourage Net's character to put his homosexual skills into practice instead of simply theorizing about them, which is something I need more of. Plus, it has color coding.
Love Puzzle
Tumblr media
This is one that might not get made because . . . Thailand. It's connected to Chains of Heart, but I don't care because the cast looks good and Poppy is gonna finally get to kiss a homie. If this doesn't get made, I will cry thug tears. It's 2024. Poppy deserves to kiss a man already.
My Stand-In
Tumblr media
I don't understand the plot, but it doesn't matter because Pepzi and Khom are directing, and in case that means nothing, those were KinnPorsche's directors! Then, it has Up and Poom as the leads, plus a stacked supporting cast. I'm here. I'm queer. And I'm ready to be served.
Honorable Mention: Peaceful Property
Tumblr media
It's about los espookys and features Tay and New. Will it be a QL? The streets are saying no, but all the characters are color coded, and all's I'm saying is what would be the point of color coding them if I ain't getting a BL main couple and a GL side couple? It's already canon to me.
Bonus: MosBank & JoongDunk
Tumblr media
MosBank had like eighty projects announced for 2023, and I got NONE! Big Dragon 2, Big Dragon: The Movie, SunsetxVibes, where you at?! Y Journey: Stay Like a Local and Club Friday do not count. I don't want to watch their horror movie, but gosh darnit, if that comes out before everything else, I just might.
Tumblr media
And I am a JoongDunk fan first, and a human second. Give my boys a gym BL already, GMMTV!

Love Sick is also pretty special but it's very long and complicated and kinda a steep buy in. But if you are of the Degrassi Jr High inclination...
You might also want to try I Told Sunset About You. It wasn't for me but is for LOTS of super fans of high quality BL.
From the tone of the question I am assuming we are going with a a western value judgement which prioritizes grittiness and subtlety.
Tumblr media
Here's more stuff for you to explore if you're interested.
(Many of these will not have been updated with 2023)
Here's me talking about western struggles with Thai language and acting style:

Look the BL genre isn't big enough to be reinventing itself. It hasn't exhausted itself to begin with. There is enough space for the romcom and the realistic. I don't think realistic should be seen as a higher standard no matter who it's made by. Like chill out. (and focus on GLs)

What's With All the Hate for 'Dangerous Romance (the series)'???
I don't even remember how I heard about Dangerous Romance honestly, but I do remember when I started to research it and all I saw was hate. I was really surprised because I love both Perth and Chimon from when I saw them in LBC and The Gifted (fun fact: Wave is one of my favorite TV characters ever created ((alongside Mr Mike Wheeler))). Anyways, this was about 2 weeks ago, then when I finished The Eclipse I looked at it again and saw that a couple more comments had been added that were actually nice, so I decided to give it a shot.
I really enjoyed it! Perth and Chimon did absolutely amazing in their roles! And the chemistry was there!!! I saw people complain about the chemistry in a lot of the hate, but I didn't see any issue with the chemistry at all! Okay, maybe Chimon could be better at kissing (this is apparently a running thing for him lol), but I honestly find it kinda realistic? Not everyone is gonna be a good kisser, but idk, maybe I'm just making excuses cuz I love him. And either way, kissing should not be the end-all-be-all for series imo, esp ones like this one that don't really focus on the saucy stuff.
I get that it would not be everyone's cup of tea and I wouldn't even say it's one of my favorites, but I very much enjoyed it! It even made me almost cry (a feat) a couple times! Anyways, all of this to say I don't understand where all the hate is coming from. I think it was a beautiful story and I ended up loving literally every character, though my fav was definitely Sailom, sooooo yeah.

You are not gay if you never had a longtime crush on an obviously straight guy who knows this and uses the very fact against you, while you keep ignoring the sexy gay hookup who can give his everything to you.
Isn't true, Ming and Wandee?

My Top 20 QLs of 2023
Hey! I'm finally done with my top QLs of the year list, I usually do a top 10 And i try to keep there but there were to many shows that I would have felt bad not mentioning so I bumped it up to 20, but first lets do some stats shall we
Thai QLs- 31
Korean QLs- 14
Japanese QLs- 12
Taiwanese QLs- 5
Vietnamese QLs- 4
Filipino QLs- 1
Total number of QLs of 2024-✨67!✨
(6 less than last year :( I'm slacking lol)
Now for what you all been waiting for.....I don't usually tend to put my list in a particular order but this time I did so, it goes from least to best but don't get it twisted I still love the higher numbered QLs with all my heart
I only did a quick little write up thing for the top 3 cause I was to lazy to do it for all 20 :)
(Also here's my honorable mention list)
#20- Be Mine SuperStar
Tumblr media
#19- Tokyo In April is...
Tumblr media
#18- I Will Knock You!
Tumblr media
#17- Individual Circumstances
Tumblr media
#16- Naked Dining
Tumblr media
#15- Jack O' Frost

#7- My Beautiful Man 2
Tumblr media
#6- My Personal Weatherman
Tumblr media
#5- Between Us

#4- Bed Friend
Tumblr media
#3- Only Friends
This show feels much more subversive than other GMMTV QLs I loved the mixing and mingling of ships I wished more shows would do that, while I love my established pairings every once in while them kissing other people as a treat is cool, they did Boston dirty and I stand by that but other than that (and a couple of other things) what an AMAZING show
Tumblr media
#2- Laws Of Attraction
If it weren't for my #1 this would probably go there cause I loved this show with a burning passion, last year I had To Sir With Love (I believe #1) and this year Laws Of Attraction I don't want to jinx it but can JamFilm miss? Truly I can't see my self disliking a JamFilm lead show
Tumblr media
#1- The Eighth Sense
And finally we hit #1 and are we shocked I mean come on this was hands down the best BL I watched this year and probably top 5 of all time and DEFINITELY THE BEST KOREAN BL I EVER WATCHED EVER

do you prefer bls which are adapted from pre-existing ips (novel/manga/webtoon...) or do you prefer original bl works? specifically for thai bls, i feel like there's not many original scripted bl series out there, off the top of my head only itsay and mlc comes to mind. or even when it's original sometimes they'd release a novel version first too? (eg: never let me go, only friends, dangerous romance, last twilight...)
Thank you for the ask, Non! Such an interesting question to ponder.
I don't think I have a preference. I took this question back to my amazing BL elders circle, and we chatted about various states of provenance for canon material. What's particularly fascinating by way of trends now in Thailand is when a screenplay gets written first, and the Y novel gets written after, which I think has happened only extremely rarely in Japan and Korea. What's interesting about this phenomenon to me is the cultural "need" for a novel component to be associated with a show, as original Y novels were so very integral to the birth of the BL/Series Y genre in Thailand with the premiere and adaptation of Love Sick from an original novel. I happen to like the component that fans of a drama need a full-circle experience with a novel to accompany the process of being a fan of a drama series.
But all that being said, there are times when it's clear that a screenplay is based off a novel, times when it's clear that a script is original, and times when none of this is clear. When a drama is good, it's usually when the right balance of script, editing, and acting excellence has been hit, and I don't think that's necessarily always dependent on there needing to be a prior source material element. It should hopefully be as simple as that. I had my first full-circle experience with a drama and a novel when I watched, then read the source material for, I Feel You Linger In The Air, and the novel did indeed change how I felt about the drama (I want more sassy Jom, damn it!). But that process was a LOT of fun to go through, particularly because the novel's plot happened to be quite solid, and the show's director, Tee Bundit, futzed around with the plot in ways that indeed suited his vision for sad boyz, but also added drama and unexpected spotlights on other equity issues that I think made the drama a lovely piece of art on its own.
The Elders DID remind me that the second season of Minato's Laundromat was original, not based in manga canon, and that may have sunk the show -- without the direction of the manga, the screenwriters may not have known how to tie plot knots as well on their own. In the end, if a novel, a manga, a manhwa, or a drama series is great, I'm happy to celebrate that piece of art without putting pressure on it to influence other pieces of art. I just hope the time I spend watching dramas ends up being worth the payoff!
I hope this kinda answers your question, Non!

I watched The Eclipse (the series) and OMG I'm in Love?!?! ⚠️ SPOILERS ⚠️
Ya'll I watched The Eclipse the series over the last few days and... omg. I have so much to say so buckle up. Obv there will be spoilers! I also wanna mention that this will be full of very biased takes because I absolutely fell in love with Akk soooo imma be defending him.
Now that that's out of the way, first, can we talk about the couples? FirstKhao's chemistry?! I know I'm late to the game but man they blew me out of the water!!! They were so cute and wholesome (dw I've seen the OF edits, ik they're not always this way lol) and Akk and Ayan just pulled me all the way in! They both deserve the world and I will not hear otherwise! Now, the side couple, KanThua, were not my cuppa tea. I love Neo, I haven't seen anything with Louis in it but he's a good actor from what I've seen, and they look cute together, but they just didn't snatch me up unfortunately.
That leads me into the second topic, the plot (this is where it gets long, strap in). I believe this is the main reason the side didn't snatch me. They were definitely given the short end of the stick (this is before I found out that I hate Thua with a passion but we'll get to that). I would've loved so much more buildup than what we got from them. Thua's storyline just felt kinda off to me. We saw his stepdad say one or two messed up things to him, which ya eff him for that, but every other time he was pretty nice??? Maybe I'm just missing something but idk. Also the whole "Bruce Wayne" thing was eh to me. Kinda cute, kinda weird.
Now, Akk and Ayan's storyline???? Sign me uppppp! I love everything about it! I love that they are so there for eachother and literally picked eachother up off the ground mentally so many times. They need eachother and you can absolutely feel it. Then, also their individual storylines are just amazing. My poor babies. Ayan and dealing with his uncle's death and witnessing the terrible things at the school and getting bullied by the teachers and his declining mental health. Akk dealing with the manipulation of the teachers and his need to prove himself and his need to put everyone above himself and his declining mental health and ugh... sorry I could talk about Akk for ages, ya'll know how I get with my babies lol. All this to say I definitely came not knowing what to expect but stayed for Akk & Ayan.
The general storyline is... a doozy. The whole curse thing was so interesting and then it just... wasn't. But at the same time it was??? Idk it's so hard to place how I feel about this part of the plot. I don't understand the whole thing with Teacher Chadock's confession and that somehow affecting what was going on? Like sir, you still manipulated kids (specifically Akk) into doing awful things, I don't think all that happened is an excuse for that at all? Yes, it sucks and never shoulda happened but like... why act like that towards the students this whole time? And he didn't seem to show much, if any, remorse for his behavior either so... idk.
Now... let's get into ep 11 and Thua's whole thing. I will never ever ever forgive the character of Thua for what he did. I don't care how right he was (which he mostly wasn't), I don't care if he was speaking some facts, you don't ever out somebody like that!!! Esp as a character who we know has faced such bad discrimination and bullying for the same effing thing!!! It makes absolutely no sense and there are no excuses! The fear in Akk's eyes... ugh I wanted to punch Thua so bad ngl. The way that he also isn't even right about Akk 'creating the curse' and doesn't mention that he himself continued it after Akk saw the error of his ways and stopped. He made himself out to be squeaky clean when he honestly had the most blood on his hands after this whole thing. When he was cheering the episode before about finding the "one responsible for the curse" IT WAS HIM! AKK HAD STOPPED AT THAT POINT SO IT WAS ALL HIM! He also wasn't telling the truth when he said Aye was covering for Akk using their love as a cover! At first Ayan wanted Akk to tell everyone what he did... but then he saw what a fragile state of mind Akk was in and decided to try a different approach. Thua should've gone to Akk and Aye himself, he had no right to say anything he said without knowing the full story!!! THEN HE JUST IS FORGIVEN!!! NOO! I know that it's because of the cuts they had to make that we don't get to see the characters forgive him and whatnot but I don't care. He. did. not. deserve. to. be. forgiven. No one is changing my mind!
I could go on forever tbh so let's move onto the third topic... the pacing. I know this is the main complaint for this show and rightfully so. I really really wish they would've gotten the 14 episodes they were hoping for instead of the 12 they got. The pacing is just out of wack. The first half-ish is beautiful.... then it drags (slightly).... then it's rushed. Just disappointing, but not anyone's fault. The crew apparently thought they were working with 14 eps, we can't blame them, and we definitely cannot blame the actors.
Fourth, and final, topic: the acting!!! Uuuugh, ya'll! I'd seen Khao in a couple things and First in Not Me, but this is by far the best I've seen of them! They showed all the emotions and omg these dudes are professional criers, how are they both so good at it?! Btw, I see people talk about Khao's acting more than First's I feel like (could just be what I see idk), but First snatched me up! He killed every single scene, give me chills multiple times (Khao too obv) and showed Akk's character development flawlessly! All the supporting actors were obviously amazing too (special shoutout to my boy AJ cuz I love the twins)!
Anyways, if you sat through this half-rant, half-review, congrats! I honestly love this show and it's for sure going to be one I rewatch all the time and try to dig deeper into Akk's mind every time lol. Also if you read all of this and I didn't touch on something you wanted or you're just curious about my thoughts on anything (seriously anything at all), feel free to comment or repost or send me an ask, I don't mind!

I know everyone is very critical of We are the series, its nothing new that we have not seen already, rich kid poor kid, engineering gays, everyone is gay, all the tropes are flying around, accidental kisses, the oblivious jealous gay piner, falling for you friends brother.. bla bla etc etc
I know, I know, but you can't deny that phum and peems first kiss was the most natural first gay kiss ever. The build-up to it was delicious, the stolen glances, the teasing, the push and pull, the subtle flirting. Even the kiss itself didn't have any dramatics to it, no accidental falling in arms, no hesitation, no drama. It came at the right point. They were going to part ways say their good byes and realised that this can't end here.
The way Peem leaned in and sealed it .. wow, just a simple scene and a kiss, but yeah well I guess I am a sucker for a simple kiss.
