10 Favourite Series/Movies I watched in 2022
(Fave Series for @asianlgbtnetwork 2022 Recap)
Bad Buddy (dir. Aof Noppharnach Chaiwimol )
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Youth
Starring: Nanon Korapat, Ohm Pawat, Love Pattranite, Milk Pansa, Jimmy Jitaraphol, Drake Sattabut
Language: Thai
Ever since they were young, Pran and Pat's families had a deep and raging rivalry — trying to one-up each other on everything. This also extended towards their sons. It was almost like rivalry was passed down as a family heirloom and the two boys became rivals as well. Until... they grew tired and became friends. Really good friends. However, because of their families' rivalry, their friendship had to be kept under wraps. And so began a journey of secret friendship... and then perhaps a sweet secret romance?
Bad Buddy is currently my ultimate fave, the brainrot has not left even after a year. This series has everything for me. Humour, angst, romance! I have never related to a character as much as I have with Pran. And Pat is the sweetest guy, who never takes no for an answer, but in a good way. Please watch this if you some time in your hands. You will not regret it!

(Fave Series for @asianlgbtnetwork 2022 Recap)
The Eclipse (dir. Golf Tanwarin Sukkhapisit)
Genre: Action, Youth, Mystery, Romance
Starring: First Kanaphan, Khaotung Thanawat, Neo Trai, Louis Thanawin, AJ Chayapol
Language: Thai
The country's leading all-boys school, Suppalo, is strictly governed. Rumour has it that a curse will punish students who act out, a curse that grows stronger as the solar eclipse nears. But where there are rules, there will naturally be those who want to break them. A group of students calling themselves “The World Remembers” unite to challenge the school's authority and demand their rights. Head student prefect Akk and his cohorts are tasked with dissuading the rebel group. Then Ayan, a mysterious new student, arrives. Ayan has enrolled in hopes of discovering the person who pushed his uncle Dika to suicide. His only evidence leading him to Suppalo School is in his uncle's old notebook. Akk is suspicious of Ayan, this boy whose behaviour is so odd and who regularly challenges the school's norms. . Ayan's method of dealing with Akk's scrutiny is to toy with him.
Yes, this series also did make it into my disappointing list. The ending did feel very rushed, and some parts towards the end were quite questionable. But other than that, it was a really good series. The cast did a brilliant job! Like I knew they can all act, but honestly I was so impressed with their skills!! Khaotung and First had the most beautiful breakdowns, Khaotung also sold the bad boy attitude in the first 5 minutes when I was so used to seeing him as the sweet little brother character, and it was so refreshing to see a new side to Neo! So yes, I’d watch it all over again just for them! Also they did deliver a few surprises, so that was interesting. I just really wish that the ending was more polished.

Semantic Error (dir. Kim Soo Jung )
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Life, Youth
Starring: Park Seo Ham, Park Jae Chan, Song Ji Oh, Kim Noh Jin, Kim Won Ki
Language: Korean
I loved how chaotic and awkward this was. Sang Woo is my precious child and I will protect him. It’s a simple plot, but they did well with it. Loved the balance of humour and drama. Also loved the editing in this show.
