This Week in BL - I'm DELIGHTED by so much goodness, also I lust after a boy's robot's pants
Organized, in each category, with ones I'm enjoying most at the top.
Feb 2024 Wk 1
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Thai
The Sign (Sat YT) ep 11 of 12 - I support the fact that the producers seem to have decided that even in uniform Yai never needs to wear sleeves. Hear hear.
No sleeves for Yai ever again!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
On the other hand, why doesn’t anyone ever wear gloves? Going around touching evidence all willy nilly like that.
No to sleeves. Yes to gloves.
People. Sheesh. Get with the program.
Anygay, this is such a fun show. I could watch 50 episodes of this abject nonsense. I’m sad it’s gonna be ending. And I don’t say that often about Thai BL. 
Pit Babe (Fri iQIYI) ep 12 of 14 - Oh has Jeff been kidnapped again? Here, let's throw fruit at Babe and think about it for a bit. Tra la la. Trash watch happening here.
Tumblr media
Cooking Crush (Sun YT) ep 9 of 12 - They are such very good boyfriends. Also, this is a ton of kissing for OffGun. I’m at a loss as to how they are going to turn this into a decent 12 ep show. Unfortunately, I’ve foresee it going off the rails - pacing seems off. 
For Him (Thurs iQIYI) ep 10 of 12 - We have our little No Comebacks twist. The sides are growing on me, but now the mains are boring me. The sudden gun-toting new characters are just weird. It’s like they took the script and just threw it down a staircase, gathered it back up again, then filmed that. 
City of Stars (Fri iQIYI) ep 1 of 12 - Fueang is an actor in the midst of crisis and scandal. Normally I don’t like Thai BL when it’s tackles celebrity and this is... yep, the same. Our actor is pitted against an older worried nerdy app developer, Krom. And I feel that dynamic - hyung romance, jock/nerd? Very nice. But it’s also very Star Hunter. Never met a trope they didn’t wanna do a million times over - in the very first episode. Also I think I’m not a fan of the actor playing the lead. 
My Universe (Sun iQIYI) ep 24fin - The blond who comes to get his hair shaved looks just like Fluke T (SOTUS et al). And even more like him after the shaving (My Bromance et al). Is that him? MDL doesn't say.
Anygay... something something: Orphan. Cancer. Kisses. Dream. Death. 'Bout what I expected. 2/10 even with a decent kiss I don’t do dream sequences and I don’t like death in my BL 
All in all, I’m relieved that that’s over. The series is a slog. And in general I don’t recommend it. I plan to promptly forget its entire existence. 
Ongoing Series - Not Thai
Love For Love's Sake (Korea Weds iQIYI) eps 3-4 of 8 - There is so much to adore about this show. The two younger guys who are suddenly in competition for the one older one. You know hyung romances are my favs. A hyung love triangle? COME ON. Also, I got to say this one’s giving me second lead syndrome. I do love me a brat. Add in all this on honorific play and linguistic flirting (as their should be in age gap). This is just THE BEST show. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look I gotta say this: the "Who did this to you?" trope (AKA who hurt you?) is the single most popular romance trope right now, remarkable to see it turn up in a BL. And pleasing. Trust Korea to be ON TREND. It's their national agenda. *respect*
Perfect Propose (Japan Fri Gaga) eps 1-2 of 6 - From Fuji TV (who brought us the Pornographer series) adapted from Mayo Tsurakame’s manga, production team includes Tadaaki Horai (My Love Mix-Up!) and Takeshi Miyamoto (scriptwriter for Old Fashion Cupcake). Hiro’s so stressed at work he barely has time to eat so he passes out on the sidewalk. An unfamiliar face saves him and insists that they once promised to marry each other.
Ready?
Oh I fucking love it. Sullen, out gay, younger seme with serious grumpy overprotective tendencies and beautiful possessive cat eyes? Well, it’s not dimples, but it’s still my catnip. Also they are moving very quickly. Hand jobs already? + dub con seasoning? Say it with me everyone:
Oh Japan, must you? 
Apparently, you must. And I must enjoy it. Carry on.
Please reread those producer creds and understand what we are in for. Okay? I would urge you to avoid this one if you get squeamish when JBL does what... JBL does.
AntiReset (Taiwan Fri Viki/Gaga) eps 1-2 of 10 - I really enjoy the character of an OCD intellectual automaton professor, contrasted to a warm and sunshine actual robot. Out the gate, this is oozing Taiwanese domesticity, we can only hope they juice it with their usual standard of heat too. 
All puns aside: It’s charming and I’m charmed. Does Taiwan finally have another winner on its hands?
I do adore Taiwan's aesthetics: The house designs, the suit designs, the human designs. I wouldn't say no to the robot’s pants either. Very cool. Can I order them in black?
Tumblr media
Although I Love You and You AKA Sukiyanen Kedo Do Yaro ka (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 4 of 10 - The birthday confession was a bit much. But I love how mature the reactions were. It reminded me a little bit of I Cannot Reach You. Always a good thing. 
Girl: I like you. 
Sakae: sorry, not intersted 
Girl: what am I lacking? 
Sakae: a dick 
What you mean it didn’t go that way?
Happy Ending (Korea Tues YT) 2 of 3 - Oh it’s lovely, exactly as I expect from Strongberry.
I gotta say all of the above are pretty neck & neck for top spots for entirely different reasons. BL is seriously giving right now!
Sahara-sensei to Toki-kun (Japan Fri Gaga) ep 8fin - In the end this is mostly a piece about courage, and the rewards and disappointments that being courageous entails. Sadly, I personally didn’t have the courage to enjoy it. Featuring a chaos nugget bad boy student who falls madly in love with his teacher, this should’ve been My Thing. But Japan failed me. It happens sometimes. The leads had no chemistry, and the age gap rather than being a narrative driver and source of conflict, was just ignored. 7/10 
Tumblr media
It's Done
What Did You Eat Yesterday Season 2 AKA Kinou Nani Tabeta? Season 2 (Japan Gaga) 10 eps - will binge when I have any spare time. 2024 is crazy busy for me so far.
The Servant and the Young Master - from Vietnam so I assume it's on YouTube. I never even noticed. Anyone got a link?
Began Beginning (Myanmar YouTube) - Is TRUST Entertainment bringing us the first ever Burmese BL? I don't know if it's really the first, but @heretherebedork vouched for it, so I will give it a watch through.
The Whisperer (Thai Horror) - @all-you-had-to-do-was-neigh commented with the following: "MASSIVE content warning for extreme ableism, homophobia, and rape plots done for shock value. I don't recommend it, and if any of your followers decide to watch it proceed with caution."
So... yeah, I won't be watching it.
Tumblr media
It's Airing But...
[NO INTERNATIONAL] Cherry Magic (Sat YouTube) ep 3 of 12 - yeah Japan put the smack down on our boys. Sadness. You can use a VPN if you like. Read all about it here.
Ossans Love Season 2 (Japan Gaga) - 5 years later, will anything have changed? This is Japan so… probubly not. I won't be watching this. I disliked Season one and actively hated the follow ups. No thank you.
Playboyy (Thurs Gaga) 14 eps - Dear Playboyy, it's not you, it’s me… I hate you. You’re about as deep (and as palatable) as a shot glass of cum. While I'm sure you’re someone’s kink, you're my weakest link. Goodbye. I DNFed this at ep 5. Frankly I'm impressed with myself for getting that far.
7 Days Before Valentine (Weds WeTV) 12 eps - Giving me Luminous Solution vibes. I'm waiting to binge if safe.
Dead Friend Forever (Thai Sat iQIYI) 12 eps - horror, meh, tell me if it's worth my time?
Time the series (Tue Gaga/YT) 10 eps - dropped it at ep 4.
Next Week Looks Like This:
Tumblr media
Still Coming in Feb
2/17 A Secretly Love (Thai WeTV) - Khonprot, a third-year head hazer of the engineering faculty, has a secret crush on Pluem, a tsundere fourth-year head hazer. Over the years, he's seen Pluem cycle through many girlfriends. Recently, after a public breakup, however, Khonprot thinks maybe a boy has a chance.
2/24 Unknown (Taiwan Youku) 12 eps - Older brother tough guy criminal breadwinner looks after his sister and defacto adopted little brother. Little bother falls in love with him and is sent away after a stolen kiss. But when he comes back…
Upcoming BLs for 2024 are listed here. This list is not kept updated, so please leave a comment if you know something new or RP with additions.
THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS
Tumblr media
GMMTV is officially stalking me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I do love OffGun's particular brand of domesticity. It's fun that they and TayNew are both getting to be so soft on our screens. It's very comforting, like a family favorite warm toddy. (Cooking Crush)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Korea, what's gotten into you? Are you feeling okay? Such bold weaponized gayness isn't like you at all. (Love for Love's Sake)
Tumblr media
The Sign, forcing me to ask the eternal question.
Tumblr media
I LOVES THEM YOUR HONOR. (Pit Babe)

Characters that get angry after having an accident are so cute:
“Are you peeing?”
“WHAT DOES IT FUCKING LOOK LIKE.”

I’m not going to respond to the actual ask cause I don’t wanna give this person the attention they are seeking (and I’m still trying to figure out what category to report the ask under)
But Major L on this anon (omg my second hate message?!)
Tumblr media
I thought we went over this back in March 2023-
I was born with XX chromosomes, no Y chromosome, get with the fucking program.
And again, I’ve been told to kill myself by the previous ask.
I am in a much, much better place mentally this time around, which I think is why it hurts more this time, and the fact that I can kinda understand what you’re saying.
But also, if you’re going to send a hate message, use your letters dammit, I don’t think you should be sending hate if you can’t even type correctly. Yes, I’m going to clown on your ass, you come into my safe space and try to make me feel unsafe.
Use your punctuation, use full words, and LEARN SOME GODDAMN GRAMMAR!!!
God, I’ve gotten better hate from literal children, you fucking bitch.
I don’t want to go into a lot of detail, but I did sit here for a few minutes after I saw the ask (it’s been sitting in my inbox for an hour or two, maybe three now?) and tried not to cry. It didn’t hurt that much, but it still hurt, and I’ve been having a horrible few weeks.
I’m exhausted. I want to write, to play video games, to read an actual book. But I can’t find the energy or motivation in me to do it, and it’s driving me a little nuts, my depression is starting to get to me again, making me hate myself and everyone around me.
But the thing is- I love my family, even if they get on my last nerve every day. I’m working on not hating myself, some days are better than others. And maybe I don’t have the best friends, but I’m not the best friend either, and I hope that they realize some of their shortcomings, and I’m working on mine.
And I’m hopefully getting put on antidepressants (I’ve been waiting on this since DECEMBER!!)
Tumblr media
So, to Angry, Hateful Anon:
I hope you can find out who hurt you, even if it was yourself, and work to undo that hurt.
And if there is no reason for this misguided attempt at misgendering and hatred, I hope you can grow up.
And to all my friends on here: I’m going to be fine, I promise. Sure, there’s a bit of a hole or ache in my chest, but I think it’s from anger. Either way, it will go away soon enough. I’m going to be okay, I always will be. I don’t have to be, but I have you guys to fall back on, especially @iamlokisgloriouspurpose @quackery-binx @arrowheadedbitch and @mac-cheez
I will be okay ❤️

✰ . angst, i hate rosa, i hope this is as sad for you reading it as it was for me writing it, vyn is so beautiful i cant get over him ever augh, kinda short i just wanted to create something (hopefully) diabolically sad, i wrote this at 6 am so its super bad leave me alone
you and vyn had been friends, and nothing more. you loved him terribly, but he had his eyes all over rosa. and you hated it. but what can you do? its helpless. hes in love with her like a man whos been lovesick all his life, and theres nothing you can do to change that.
Tumblr media
While you loved your friendship with Vyn, you also loved him. You loved his shiny platinum hair, his beautiful golden eyes, and his charming personality. You were in love with him, truly.
What you did not love, is the way he constantly spoke of Rosa. It had gotten so frequent that you couldn’t have one conversation without him bringing her up. You hated it. He’d spend so much time with her that he hardly made time to spend with his own “best friend”. It didnt feel like you were friends anymore. Let alone best friends. When he wasn’t with her, he was working. And when he wasn’t working, he was with her. He was never with you. He hardly even talked to you anymore. What a jerk.
You hated her. After all, she had stolen the man of your dreams right from your very palms. How could you not hate her? She was everything he wanted, and everything you despised.
Eventually, you began to hate him too. You hated how he’d always abandon you for her like it was second nature. You hated how his every thought, word, and action all danced around her. But most of all, you hated how you loved him. How you wished he would hold you, kiss you, and do everything for you instead of her. When you’d see them together, talking and laughing, looking at each other with that longing, loving look, and never once looking away, you couldn’t help but think about how nice it would be for you to be standing there in front of him instead of her.
Sometimes, you’d even wish that she would break his heart so terribly that he’d come crying to you and realize he loved you more all along, as terrible as that may seem.
You spent most of your sleepless nights staring at the ceiling, a wall, or anything that wouldn’t remind you of him, to no avail. Your thoughts would always drift to him and the moments you’d spent together before it all came crashing down after Rosa walked into your lives. You’d sob at how you hated him for making you feel this way, and how you hated her for taking the only thing you’d ever truly wanted.
Alas, it can’t be helped.
