My Top 10 Most Anticipated 2024 B.L. Dramas:
Every year the standard of B.Ls gets better and better and it looks like 2024 could be the best year yet! There are so many dramas coming that sound so unique and I can’t wait to see them! Everyday it seems another one is announced. But currently these are what I’m most excited for:
10. Spare Me Your Mercy (TH)
late 2024
Tumblr media
A Doctor and Police Major grow close after a series of suspicious de*ths, but is the Doctor the culprit? I’m so happy that popular insanely talented actors like Tor are leading BLs now! I’ve been a fan of his lakorns for years! It’s from the director of Laws of Attraction/To Sir With Love which I loved, but I feel that lack of budget prevents his dramas from being incredible.
9. Unknown the Series (TW)
24 February 2024
Tumblr media
An orphan at 13 finds a lost boy as they grow older one admits he has romantic feelings for the other. This is the 1st Chinese danmei adaptation that Taiwan is producing! It sounds so messy and dark! People have compared the story to the second couple in Kiseki (ah)! And it’s by Priest the legendary danmei author responsible for Word of Honor and many others! I’m so excited!
8. Jack and Joker (TH)
Mid - late 2024
Tumblr media
A con-man and a debt collector are bound by their past leading to a partnership and romance. One of my favourite Thai pairings is getting another series!!! YinWar have both proven to be fantastic actors with the best chemistry and I’m so happy they’ve been given a darker more grown up setting. Half this series directors work is bad but the other half is incredible- I really hope this will be incredible (like IFYLITA)!
7. Perfect Propose (JP)
2nd February 2024
Tumblr media
Am an overly stressed office-worker meets a man claiming they promised to marry each other and insists he is his fiancé. The synopsis is weird but chemistry is so beautiful! And it’s from the director of Kieta Hatsukoi and the screenwriter of Old Fashioned Cupcake - an incredible team up! There’s no way this won’t be amazing!
6. Ossans Love TH (TH)
late 2024
Tumblr media
A young man finds out his much older married boss and one of his co-workers are in love with him, a love triangle ensues! EarthMix are another of my favourite Thai pairings but I wasn’t a huge fan of the other iterations of this story. But I’ve missed EarthMix so much and it’s from the MY School President director, so I’m still so excited!
5. Heesu in Class 2 (KR)
2024 (I hope)
Tumblr media
A rumour goes round the school that Heesu can solve your love problems, but he can’t even admit his crush on his best friend. This was filmed in 2022!!! It is based on the most beloved and cutest manhwa ever. The cast is full of up and coming actors! BUT we have no idea who made it or where is is!? The lead recently did an interview where he mentioned the project - I’m hoping 2024 is the year! PLEASE!
4. My Stand-In (TH)
Mid 2024
Tumblr media
A stuntman is in an accident, he wakes in another persons body where he runs into the man who broke his heart. This looks and sound unbelievably dark and messy but in the best way possible! I’m so excited to see Up back in a lead role and in a new pairing! Their chemistry looks electric in all the stills. And it’s from the Directors of KinnPorsche and every shot looks just as gorgeous! Ah!
3. Uncovering the Curse of Taekwondo (KR)
2024
Tumblr media
We know nothing about this series, just that it’s about Taekwondo and is created by the Queen of the KBL industry (Hwang Da Seul)! Every series she creates is perfection: Where Your Eyes Linger, To My Star 1&2, Blueming and now this! The gorgeous leads above are only rumoured and filming was supposedly Dec-Jan for a 2024 release!
2. My Love Mix Up! (TH)
Mid 2024
Tumblr media
A boy believes his classmate has a crush on him but it’s a misunderstanding involving a borrowed eraser. GeminiFourth are one of my favourite Thai pairings and so I will watch every single project they’re in! They are my sons! But I’m already a huge fan of the manga and jdrama already. So I am really looking forward to the Thai interpretation! This is from the My School President director so I’m expecting a ton of heart-fluttering cuteness!
1. The Only One (TW)
2024
Tumblr media
A boy moves to a new school where he meets the cold top student who is revealed to be his new stepbrother. I’ve read this Chinese novel and it’s the most beautiful sloooowww-burn: dislike to friends to best-friends to finally LOVE! I’m so happy Taiwan is adapting Chinese danmeis! AND it’s being an adapted by the screenwriters behind The Untamed and it’s from the Director of the most beautiful film ever: Your Name Engraved Herein!
So, this is my list! This is such a promising year! All of my favourite Thai pairings are back! Japan has so many amazing dramas airing currently. I’m so excited that Taiwan is starting to adapt danmeis! And Love For Loves Sake is being labelled the best KBL ever.

Some VERY interesting things are happening in the ql world over in Taiwan!! I could’ve sworn someone already made a post about this but I can’t find it now (I might’ve just been recalling when the HIStory account posted about it before though) and now I’m learning some very interesting news I hadn’t seen before so I’m making my own post about it. And also so fellow ql fans can hear abt this too.
So here’s the rundown. Last month there was an event titled “Be Love, Go Love” in which LINE TV & TAICCA announced they would be working on developing more BLs & GLs in Taiwan. They ALSO said they’d be working with people from other countries including the director & producer of semantic error and other important people from Thailand and Korea. Wayne Song was also at the event and said not only that he’d like to work with the director & producer of semantic error, but that he’d be willing to do so without pay/paying out of his own pocket just for a chance to act with her (I love this guy)!
Tumblr media
The way this event will work is people will register & submit a bl or gl story to LINE TV X TAICCA in order to develop it into future pitches that are expected to be completed by August 2024. Out of all the submissions they’ll select a total of SIX they’ll be working on developing. Obviously this is all really exciting because we’re not only getting six new qls but they’re going to be collaborating with other significant people in the industry.
Now idk about y’all but I loooove this incorporation of different countries considering they’re the primary ql producers (and maybe Japan too but that’s not one of the countries they’re working with). What I didn’t see before (although it’s literally been up on the page with all the info since they announced this in early November…) are some of the other people they plan on working with. Listed on their website where people can register for this series development plan are:
Tsai Mi Chieh (HIStory2: crossing the line, HIStory3: make our days count, about youth, etc.)
Pepzi Banchorn Vorasataree (bad buddy, dark blue kiss, kinnporsche, the warp effect, etc.)
Bee Pongsate Lucksameepong (2gether, a tale of thousand stars, bad buddy, kinnporsche, love mechanics, vice versa, my school president, last twilight, etc.)
Yuan Wan Thabkrajang (I feel you linger in the air, manner of death, my gear and your gown, etc.)
Hwang Da Seul (where your eyes linger, to my star, blueming, etc.)
And apparently this might not even be everyone???!! So the lineup is already really impressive. It seems like they’ll each have different roles (representatives of their country, consultants, etc.), but all be mentors in some form. I also got especially excited when I saw the HIStory Instagram account post a photo with Cheng Yi Xu who acted in fragrance of the first flower, a Taiwanese gl. What I wanna know is… are my HERstory dreams finally coming true???! PLEASE… regardless, I expect we’re gonna get some super awesome qls in the not-so-distant future from new filmmakers with influence from a hell of a translational mentors group.

I love your pairing actors together lists and what if casting list, so on that note, which actor would you want to see under a specific director. For me it's Fluke Natouch in Aof series. I mean that would kill me probably, but I would love every second of that.
Can I steal your answer?
Maybe SamYu under Hwang Da Seul?

The fact that Si-won was an overeager lousy kisser - clears my skin, adds years on my lifespan !! It was most probably his first kiss and Da-woon's not!
Tumblr media
The way Da-woon just laughed while pressing on his mouth with his hand ( it probably hurt ) was so...so much unexpected !
Tumblr media
Si-won's face here....he was clearly going through a lot of emotions....shy, awkward, horny...
Tumblr media
^^ That's when Dawoon took charge....he could see that Si-won was willing but inexperienced and anything but relaxed!
Tumblr media
^^ They went for it again! 💞💕

I just need to say how much I love the second season of To My Star. I can’t believe that the second season of a show that was already in the top of my absolute favourites list managed to surpass itself. The story, the directing, the ACTING - seriously, the acting is beyond amazing. Kim Kang Min and Son Woo Hyeon blow it out of the water, they are genuinely that good. Everything was SO GOOD. I just finished watching the final episode and I won’t be getting over this show, ever. I love Hwang Da Seul. I love Son Woo Hyeon and Kim Kang Min. I had to get that off my chest, even if I’m just shouting it into the void.

I’m so happy HDS bought back an item we knew (the shirt from their first kiss) instead of just a random shirt we’ve never seen. It makes the scene have much more meaning and we get understand how much that moment from s1 altered Jiwoo’s life. It makes audience know that he’s truly not over seojoon and I really can’t wait to see their relationship after this moment

To my star 2: on love and forgiveness
watching this show as it was airing and seeing all the “hate” towards jiwoo was a revelation, a lot of viewers thought that seojoon forgave jiwoo too easily, and i get that, jiwoo was so harsh on him, seriously who ghostes their bf with a f’cking post-it? on their birthday?! and if i was seojoons friend i would scream at jiwoo til his ears bleed.
but seojoon loves and seojoon forgives, that is who he is and that how he has been since the beginning. when his actor friend tried to put the blame on him for the fight, he didn’t say anything to anyone, not even pilhyun and homin, he waited it out believing that his friend would come clean, not many people would do that. but seojoon is not a pushover, he knows his limits and he will let go when he is ready. 
when it comes to jiwoo, seojoon is not blind to his shortcomings, he likes him despite those, because to seojoon (who knows jiwoo better than any of us) jiwoo is not defined by his misstakes. 
“you hide away as if you are the only sad person in this world. you don’t think about facing the problem and solving it. you have unnecessary pride and you never tell people your real feelings, making people go crazy!” 
“but still, i’m saying i like you” 
Tumblr media
seojoon only gave up when he was convinced that jiwoo wanted to be with his ex, and that he is standing in the way of jiwoos happiness, as long as jiwoo loves him he would have continue to pursue him, again this man loves jiwoo more than jiwoo loves himself 
Tumblr media
for those who thinks that seojoon deserve better, i also get that, “jiwoo hurt seojoon this much so seojoon should hurts him just as much before they can get back together”...i used to believed that input and output of love should be equal in a relationship, but how do you keep score when one person is swimming and the other is playing badminton? seojoon and jiwoo are very different people and they have different love languages, and so when we say for better or worst, this is jiwoo at his worst, this is where seojoon get to decide if their relationship could survive this, and because this is seojoon and he knows how hard those steps jiwoo took were, he choose to love and forgive 
Tumblr media
some of my favourites lines are these, 
“if you keep pushing me away, i can’t continue to chase after you like you did for me” 
“is that a threat?”
“no, i’m begging you”
this perfectly showed us how different these two are and how their traumas and history shape who they are as people today, jiwoo doesn’t love seojoon any less than seojoon loves him, but sometimes we messed up and we hurt the people who loves us the most. and this is when we need those people to say “its ok, when is hard i will go to you” and i will love you and i will fight for us
Tumblr media
i want bring up one last thing, should they take a break to get some therapy before getting back together? uhm, yes to therapy always, but no on the separation, i dont believe in the idea that we have to be healed and complete before we are allowed to be in a relationships, who is to say that we can be 100% healed from our traumas? aren’t we just learning to live with it and not let it get the better of us as we go? to love and be loved is a big part of our journey to heal, you don’t have to struggle all by yourself untill you are fit to be loved. 
life is short, if you have found your forever person, don’t let them go. as much as we should cut out toxic people from our lives, we should hold on to the people that makes us happy. i dont know if those among us who identify with jiwoo will ever find their own seojoon, god i hope we do, but i think that if we all just learn from seojoon to love and forgive more we would be one step closer to our own happiness.

I kind of just sat silently after watching the episodes of To My Star 2 today. I was crying, in awe, and digesting what had just happened in the show. Then i had to work. And now i have a lot that I need to say about it. So strap in, this will get long.
I see a lot of people being angry over Jiwoo and his choices. I will admit, I have wanted to smack him once or twice for how harsh he is toward Seojoon. But I want to talk about the importance of a character like Han Jiwoo being portrayed on screen. This man has a lot of self worth, self love, and trust issues. And I mean LOTS of them. These are a lot of the same issues many people struggle with. Am I enough? Do I deserve love? Why does this person love me? How do I love them back? Will this end painfully? How do I make this hurt less? And all of them are valid questions and issues. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve Seojoon, or that he isn't enough, but it is ok for him to have those questions. It is part of life, it's part of learning about ourselves and making ourselves better. He is not any less deserving just because he has these concerns. I think that is why it is so important that we see this character on screen. This needs to be represented more. We talk a lot about representation on screen and I think it is just as important to show these mental and emotional struggles as well. I know there are people that don't want to see this realistic and sad reality on screen, and I get it. The world sucks enough. But I think showing these struggles help people understand others and realize they are not alone.
What this show has done so well is forced us to watch this story play out through Seojoon's eyes. Before today, we have not been able to understand Jiwoo. We heard his words and the anger he put into them and saw the blank expression he always tried to give Seojoon, but we were confused by the look in his eye, or the protective traits he keeps using. We knew Jiwoo was in love because he still catches things before they hit the ground, protects the person next to him from people on the street even if it isn't Seojoon, follows Seojoon with his eyes.... oh yeah, and licks the blood off his face and kisses the hell out of him. But his actions didn't match his words, and since Seojoon felt confusion and whiplash, the audience did as well. Only when the point of view shifts do we see the emotion behind the actions. We begin to understand just how alone Jiwoo felt. That he told himself the love he has could never compete with the world's love for Seojoon. That their relationship was on borrowed time. That there is nothing more lonely then being afraid of the relationship you are in. And now the audience sees both sides, and that honestly hurts even more. That this isn't a problem that comes from a lack of love. And if that doesn't just rip my heart out and stomp on it.
So what now? Where do we go from here? We have two characters that are currently very broken, with only 2 episodes to go. Seojoon is depressed and crying in the house he used to share with Jiwoo. Jiwoo is bawling reading old texts from someone he loves and realizing just how deeply Seojoon loves him. Some people want them back together. Some want them to stay apart. Some just wants some form of happiness for these two. And I don't really know where I fall in that spectrum. On one hand I sympathize with Jiwoo. That hand wants them to find happiness apart. Learn to love themselves and find peace with what happened between them. But the other hand sides with Seojoon. That hand wants Jiwoo to realize that his insecurities were the reason this feel apart and he should apologize for leaving. They can trust in their love and find happiness together. But it is in Hwang Da Seul's hands and I just hope she is kind to my heart and tear ducts.
Regardless of what happens, I don't think it ruins the happy ending of the first season. We are watching short periods of time in their lives. At the time of the first season, they fell in love and were happy. They were helping heal each other. But that might not last. It does not change the fact that they did fall in love. It is easy to fall apart, it is a lot harder to put ourselves back together. This could all just be part of the journey they have to go on to heal. Would I have liked to see a whole season of these two smiling, in love, and living a wonderful life..... of course I would. But what we got instead was an amazingly acted beautifully directed exploration of a painful love story. I cried a lot (which is no surprise) but I am so glad to have experienced this. Good luck to Seojoon and Jiwoo next week. May you both find the happiness within you.
