Best of QL 2023 - Favorite Kisses
The way this works: I'll list my Top Five in two categories - first, from series that aired this year; and second, series that aired previously, but I watched for the first time this year. (I explained it all here if this makes no sense.)
Not in any particular order, I love all of these!
Top Five Smooches of 2023:
Akk/Ayan, Our Skyy 2: The Eclipse
I'M SO HAPPY WE GOT THESE BOYS BACK THIS YEAR! 🙌 They nailed the intimacy that Akk and Ayan deserved post-canon, and solidified their place on this list, for me.
Palm/Nueng, Never Let Me Go
A bad series can still have great kisses! While I have my grumbles about NLMG, I can say Pond and Phuwin did very good intimacy work here. And, I mean, if you put a kiss on a rooftop in episode five... I'm going to take notice. 😊 This scene was excellent.
Sand/Ray, Only Friends
The haze of cigarette smoke and the burn of whiskey... so it began. 🖤 I love them your honor. (Honorable mention for Only Friends goes to Boston/Nick, who sold the evolving narrative of their intimacy very successfully for me, too.)
Joke/Zo, Hidden Agenda
Surprised? I was! This series was another miss for me overall, but Joong and Dunk know how to do intimacy well. Good job, boys.
Tinn/Gun, My School President
I love this one so much! They made us wait for it, but I think it paid off. Gentle and shy and lovely, and I adore the quiet 'I love you's that followed it. Guh, my heart! 🥰😭
~~~~~
Top Five Makeouts of Yesteryear:
Togawa/Nozue, Old Fashion Cupcake
The tension! The desperation! The thumb in Nozue's mouth! This is OBSCENE give me 10000000 more immediately 🤣
Chu Sangwoo/Jang Jaeyoung, Semantic Error
The way it takes them both by surprise, even though they both had a long road to get here. Love this one.
Gao Shi De/Zhou Shu Yi, We Best Love
Every single kiss in this series is very good, so I'm going with Domestic Bliss Neck Kiss. They're so happy 🥺
Phupha/Tian, Tale of Thousand Stars
Kisses don't have to be sloppy to be romantic as hell. This one means so much. 😍
Pat/Pran, Bad Buddy Series
OF COURSE THE ROOFTOP KISS WAS GONNA BE ON THIS LIST. OF COURSE IT WAS. IS ANYONE SURPRISED? NO? DIDN'T THINK SO.
(Listen, if you haven't figured out by now that this whole end-of-year wrap up series is secretly a party I'm throwing for the gifmakers of this site - I don't know what to tell you. 😂🎉) So much love and appreciation and gentle pats on the head to those represented herein: @daikunart @basavapatr @zhoufeis @bl-bam-beyond @wanderlust-in-my-soul @tenprems @my-rose-tinted-glasses @gunsatthaphan
