QL Favorites Tag Game

I've wanted to do this one and @shortpplfedup tagged very liberally, so here we are. I tried to give some varied answers and not do all of it from the same show(s). These answers might also change depending on my mood.

Favorite Thai QL: Moonlight Chicken. A grown up queer story with layers, different generations, comments on the queer experience, and amazingly told in a gorgeous setting and with experienced, comfortable actors/pairings.

Favorite pairing: EarthMix and Jaeyoung/Sangwoo & WinTeam Actor-wise: EarthMix. Connected to my first answer, lol. They're comfortable and comforting and know what they're doing. They give strong, believable, mature performances regardless what story they're in. Moonlight Chicken and A Tale of Thousand Stars are two of only about 7 shows I've ever given 10/10 to and they are a big part of that. Character-wise: Jaeyoung/Sangwoo, Semantic Error, & WinTeam, UWMA and Between US. I had to go with two here because I like them for very similar reasons. It's the push and pull of personalities that aren't similar at all, yet the eventual realization that they blend super well and are better together than apart. Jaeyoung and Sangwoo are entertaining and funny and an exploration of what it means to be wrong about someone. (So wrong that you actually fall for the person you loathed initially.) Their story is told expertly. Meanwhile WinTeam is such a comfort to me. I think this is the first sidepairing I ever really got invested in - complete with reading fanfic before I'd even finished UWMA - and watching their story unfold in Between Us was one of the highlights of 2022 for me. They banter and fight and yet find comfort in each other. What started out as meaningless turned out to be oh so important for both their lives.

Favorite main character: Nozue, Old Fashion Cupcake. I almost went with Wen from Moonlight Chicken here, because he's good and relatable and (I am incredibly fond of Mix)... However, if I mention relatable then it has to be Nozue from OFC. I'm giving away my age here by admitting I can see myself in him. (I'm not quite that age yet, but I'm certainly not high school or university BL level...) Watching him discover himself and grow made me so happy.

Favorite side character: Milk from Choco Milk Shake. Initially I thought the premise of this show sounded ridiculous, but it turned out to be glorious and sweet and slightly painful. Just the way i like it! And obviously the cat who fell in love was my favourite one. Other faves: Tiw from My School President, RJ from My Tooth, Your Love, Sky & KaoJao from Secret Crush on You, and Tankhun from KinnPorsche.

Favorite scene in a QL: Bad Buddy. The bedroom scene where Pran finds out Pat (thinks he) has feelings for Ink. Nanon's acting still tugs at my heartstrings to this day. The quiet, pained realization in his eyes and posture. The way he hides it from Pat while tears threaten to escape because of the disappointment. You can perfectly see the hope - maybe Pat won't actually have feelings for Ink, maybe he could like Pran, maybe... - fade and make way for heartache Yeah, that will forever be one of the best.

Favorite line in a QL: Recently, the one that resonated with me the most was 'I thought you felt the same way' from La Pluie. I explained why here.

Most anticipated QL (& why): Love Upon a Time Look, I adore historical BLs - a result of me watching and loving so many cdramas - and since Bed Friend I've been 100% on board with NettJames and their chemistry. And no, not just the steamy bits. They're very good and comfortable together, have a believable tension between them, and they're just stunning people that I can't help but draw constantly. Combine this with a good story, a beautiful setting, and I already can't wait! Similarly, I am also excited about I Feel You Linger in the Air and Man Suang.

Healthiest relationship in a QL: KingUea from Bed Friend. With the exception of one scene, King was a walking green flag throughout this show. He had a lot to deal with and yet he managed incredibly well to be understanding and supportive. Both him and (especially) Uea had a lot of deep, painful issues and a lot of pressure from the outside world, yet he stayed strong and loved Uea the way he deserved to be loved even when Uea wasn't ready to let him yet. And he didn't cross any of Uea's lines! Quick nods of appreciation to WinTeam from UWMA and especially Between Us, and PluemKevin from Ghost Host, Ghost House.

Most toxic relationship in a QL: PrapaiSky, Love in the Air. I could go with TharnType or one of the KinnPorsche pairings, but honestly when I think of toxic I think of PrapaiSky. Yes, they're cute when they're actually together, but the getting there bothered me so much that I actually wrote angry posts about it. And I usually avoid talking in great length about things I dislike about shows I'm watching. It's also because TharnType and VegasPete (or even KinnPorsche and KimChay) are at least acknowledged to have toxic elements to them by their fans, whereas I've seen a lot of attempts at defending PrapaiSky. So, yeah. I could also have gone with both the pairings from Cutie Pie.

Guilty pleasure series: I Will Knock You. Is it the best series out there? No. But is it adorable and cute and something I enjoyed way more than I initially expected? Yes. (Do know that it's a BL that takes a while to actually BL. However when it does you'll adore it.)

Most underrated series: My Only 12% I thought this show was so cute and deep and it had me crying sad and happy tears. It told the story of incredibly close childhood friends who are forced apart by one of them moving abroad. When they're reunited they finally become more than just friends. Basically, 2023's favourite plotline, but done in 2022. It's also a lot deeper than it sounds. Watching one of the main characters realize he is queer and in love with his best friend was a beautiful yet torturous scene. Earth is so good and the setting was so comfortable and soft. (While telling a painful story of feeling left behind and finally recognizing your feelings.) And the pairing is adorable.

KinnPorsche: Episode 11

notes: Spoilers! I brought you some cold tea, just like you wanted. Ep 10 /// TOC /// Ep 12

In this episode: No judgements if this is your jam, but come onnnnn- Vegas' libido looks like it involves far too much effort for too little payoff. Kind of the same way I think about hard drugs or being a serial killer. So much work! But perhaps I'm just lazy- that’s why I'm single, relatively sober and all my murders have been crimes of passion.

Timecoded Review

2:42 Pete's hip tattoo- "No legacy is so rich as honesty". I'm feeling uncharitable so I'll just say that's the kind of tattoo a nineteen year old sorority girl would get on spring break in Cabo.

Vegas is right.

7:21 oh wow, really? Pete was undercover and now he mysteriously wants vacation and you aren't going to check in with him. Kinn is worried, Porsche is wholly unconcerned.

Boss of the year right here

9:09 Vegas threatens Pete's Grandma- what a dirtbag.

12:20 Tankhun, I never thought I'd be so happy to see you. Back to the main plot! The family discuss Porsche's future with the organization. Kinn admits he's in love.

Porsche is called onto the carpet and corroborates this statement.

The bodyguards rejoice and are probably making a moodboard with wedding ideas right now. Dad says Porsche can stay in the organization, but as a bodyguard not a boyfriend.

15:59 Meanwhile in the storyline I didn't sign up for, Vegas takes his hostage Pete to a delightful resort.

17:13 at least he's nice to his hedgehog

21:06 Detective Kim at work again. Actually we should call him Analyst Kim because all he ever does is skim the information collected by others. That's ok, It gives me the opportunity to gaze enviously at all his rings.

Sidebar: I really love all the jewelry in this series. If you know where I could get a paperclip chain necklace like Vegas', please let me know.

22:30 Porsche and Chay have a heart-to-heart about the dangerous reality of Porsche's job. Wait till Chay finds out about Kim! I'm trying very hard to like Chay's character but honestly I find him clueless, petulant and cringe in turn.

30:00 Kinn and Porsche get romantic and they don't have to hide it anymore. Have they ever? Have they ever had sex without the curtains wide open?

“... that I'm going to close the blinds.” haha he doesn't

31:33 Hey it's Nick and John from Duran Duran who have stopped by to tease the new couple.

That night they all end up at the club with Yok who is now a proud mother-in-law. I love her so much.

34:00 Kinn asks Nick and John what he should get Porsche for his birthday.

35:00 Vegas' dad slaps him for having bad taste in books. No actually to berate him for his ineptitude in business dealings. Perhaps Vegas should spend less time kidnapping and torturing and more on shady business deals.

37:45 Chay meets Tankhun and Tankhun's giant fun fur coat. Tankhun threatens to become like a parent to Chay.

39:35 OH NOOOOoooo, Chay finds out that his "boyfriend" is Kinn and Tankhun's baby brother. Chay looks confused, but honestly, doesn't he always?

40:00 aww vegas is tenderly patching up the wounds on Pete. Since Vegas inflicted these wounds, I award him no points for this altruism.

Pete spits some important truth about abuse and abusers.

45:40 Chay confronts Kim. Kim says he only tutored Chay because he is Porsche's bother. Ouch. Chay doesn't take it well. Maybe try again after you hit puberty, kid.

47:21 Kinn ands Porsche take a chopper ride as they make a desperate bid to secure southern Laos as part of Operation Lam Son 719. I kid- they merely take a tour of the city. Alas, they do not take out the Deutsche Bank building.

51:20 Ah, romance. Kinn and Porsche join the .3 mile high club. Also we see return of the product placement poppers from episode 1 which are actually some sort of snortable energy booster

stay classy, boys

52:13 Kim goes to the local temple to harass a retired detective who apparently was on the case he is investigating. Kim finds out it was his father who ordered all of the information about this mysterious case erased.
