Babe truly lives in a bachelor pad and I love it
Car in the living room
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Literal hole in the wall as a door (Love, Love, Love, adds to the industrial look)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was going to question the Motorcycle on carpet inside the house but I looked it up and apparently it’s actually good for the floor? Idk but it makes sense now.
Tumblr media
Long ass counter with a no real stove but instead a portable stove and small pots
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The rusted light stand in the bedroom that looks like it’s for an outside Garage or stage
Tumblr media
The mini cars in different parts of his house either as toys or decor (I think this connect to his lack of a childhood)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I really need to see the layout of his house in its entirety. Set Design went crazy. Next thing you know we’ll be seeing a fish tank with no fish inside but mini toy cars instead.

10 Anticipated BLs for 2024
Since I'm excited for ALL the GLs (Pluto, 23.5, Sunshine in the Wind, Chaser Game, Be Mine, y todo!), I'm making my list of the 10 BLs I'm excited for this year with brief reasons why I'm looking forward to them. In my normal fashion, I cheat my way into having more. All except one is Thai because Thailand loves to tease series three years in advance, then never make them, but I strongly believe these are coming:
The Next Prince
Tumblr media
Zee continues to never play a poor person, and a trailer is supposed to drop in the first quarter of this year. I never knew there was so many fencers on BL Tumblr, so I'm looking forward to everyone's commentary on how well the characters poke with their sticks or whatever fencers do.
Jack & Joker: U Steal My Heart
Tumblr media
It's a heist BL. It has YinWar. It has Prom x Mark. It has Bonz. It's Dee Hup House (we got beef). It's Director Tee and probably Cinematographer Jim. It might have color coding. There is not one thing I can find wrong with this series. It's perfect on paper, and I'm praying that translates well to the screen.
Spare Me Your Mercy
Tumblr media
Like that lady in Titanic, I've been waiting 80 years for this series (give me a minute to cry about MaxTul), and it's finally near! I'm getting JJ & Tor in a Dr. Sammon piece, who I feel writes "Be Gay, Do Crime" very well, so I'll be forgiving any of these two gays' wrongs including murder, attempted murder, contemplating murder, and murdering each other in the bedroom (ahhhh!).
Wandee Goodday
Tumblr media
Golf from The Eclipse is directing. It's about Muay Thai. It has an older doctor and a younger boxer who start off as bed friends (and I think one is actually a virgin). It has color coding. It has me already seated and waiting with popcorn, and I think it might be the first offering that will be delivered from GMMTV's 2024 lineup.
Sequels: Choco Milk Shake 2, Unintentional Love Story 2, My Doctor
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Is Choco Milk Shake 2 gonna finally give me poly? Probably not, but I hope My Doctor brings the same heat the side couple did in Be Mine, Superstar, and the side couple getting the spotlight in Unintentional Love Story 2 will also make my side-couple-supremacy heart very happy this year.
Live in Love
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It looks color coded. That's it. That's the reason. Keeping my expectations low because it might not get made since this is Thailand's favorite game.
Red Peafowl
Tumblr media
The character reveals were absolute chaos, so I'm hoping that chaos transfers over to the actual series because it can either be a mess or a masterpiece, but it cannot be mediocre with Max, Cooheart, Boun, Mek, and Yacht as supports. Plus, it has color coding and a bird that is quickly becoming a Tumblr god.
Love Upon a Time
Tumblr media
Even though it is a historical queer series, which means it could be sad, I think Domundi will keep the sass, so James' character won't be crying in the 1600s club but instead eating fruit seductively to encourage Net's character to put his homosexual skills into practice instead of simply theorizing about them, which is something I need more of. Plus, it has color coding.
Love Puzzle
Tumblr media
This is one that might not get made because . . . Thailand. It's connected to Chains of Heart, but I don't care because the cast looks good and Poppy is gonna finally get to kiss a homie. If this doesn't get made, I will cry thug tears. It's 2024. Poppy deserves to kiss a man already.
My Stand-In
Tumblr media
I don't understand the plot, but it doesn't matter because Pepzi and Khom are directing, and in case that means nothing, those were KinnPorsche's directors! Then, it has Up and Poom as the leads, plus a stacked supporting cast. I'm here. I'm queer. And I'm ready to be served.
Honorable Mention: Peaceful Property
Tumblr media
It's about los espookys and features Tay and New. Will it be a QL? The streets are saying no, but all the characters are color coded, and all's I'm saying is what would be the point of color coding them if I ain't getting a BL main couple and a GL side couple? It's already canon to me.
Bonus: MosBank & JoongDunk
Tumblr media
MosBank had like eighty projects announced for 2023, and I got NONE! Big Dragon 2, Big Dragon: The Movie, SunsetxVibes, where you at?! Y Journey: Stay Like a Local and Club Friday do not count. I don't want to watch their horror movie, but gosh darnit, if that comes out before everything else, I just might.
Tumblr media
And I am a JoongDunk fan first, and a human second. Give my boys a gym BL already, GMMTV!

I've just started watching Thai BLs and I don't know which ones would be worth getting thru the bad acting. Could you please recommend me some? xo

Love Sick is also pretty special but it's very long and complicated and kinda a steep buy in. But if you are of the Degrassi Jr High inclination...
You might also want to try I Told Sunset About You. It wasn't for me but is for LOTS of super fans of high quality BL.
From the tone of the question I am assuming we are going with a a western value judgement which prioritizes grittiness and subtlety.
Tumblr media
Here's more stuff for you to explore if you're interested.
(Many of these will not have been updated with 2023)
Here's me talking about western struggles with Thai language and acting style:

Look the BL genre isn't big enough to be reinventing itself. It hasn't exhausted itself to begin with. There is enough space for the romcom and the realistic. I don't think realistic should be seen as a higher standard no matter who it's made by. Like chill out. (and focus on GLs)

My Top 20 QLs of 2023
Hey! I'm finally done with my top QLs of the year list, I usually do a top 10 And i try to keep there but there were to many shows that I would have felt bad not mentioning so I bumped it up to 20, but first lets do some stats shall we
Thai QLs- 31
Korean QLs- 14
Japanese QLs- 12
Taiwanese QLs- 5
Vietnamese QLs- 4
Filipino QLs- 1
Total number of QLs of 2024-✨67!✨
(6 less than last year :( I'm slacking lol)
Now for what you all been waiting for.....I don't usually tend to put my list in a particular order but this time I did so, it goes from least to best but don't get it twisted I still love the higher numbered QLs with all my heart
I only did a quick little write up thing for the top 3 cause I was to lazy to do it for all 20 :)
(Also here's my honorable mention list)
#20- Be Mine SuperStar
Tumblr media
#19- Tokyo In April is...
Tumblr media
#18- I Will Knock You!
Tumblr media
#17- Individual Circumstances
Tumblr media
#16- Naked Dining
Tumblr media
#15- Jack O' Frost
Tumblr media
#14- Our Dining Table
Tumblr media
#13- Our Dating Sim
Tumblr media
#12- Wedding Plan
Tumblr media
#11- Never Let Me Go
Tumblr media
#10- Love Class 2
Tumblr media
#9- Kiseki: Dear To Me

Tumblr media
#7- My Beautiful Man 2
Tumblr media
#6- My Personal Weatherman
Tumblr media
#5- Between Us
Tumblr media
#4- Bed Friend
Tumblr media
#3- Only Friends
This show feels much more subversive than other GMMTV QLs I loved the mixing and mingling of ships I wished more shows would do that, while I love my established pairings every once in while them kissing other people as a treat is cool, they did Boston dirty and I stand by that but other than that (and a couple of other things) what an AMAZING show
Tumblr media
#2- Laws Of Attraction
If it weren't for my #1 this would probably go there cause I loved this show with a burning passion, last year I had To Sir With Love (I believe #1) and this year Laws Of Attraction I don't want to jinx it but can JamFilm miss? Truly I can't see my self disliking a JamFilm lead show
Tumblr media
#1- The Eighth Sense
And finally we hit #1 and are we shocked I mean come on this was hands down the best BL I watched this year and probably top 5 of all time and DEFINITELY THE BEST KOREAN BL I EVER WATCHED EVER

So I watched My School President after a couple years of my brain convincing me I wasn’t going to like it and fell absolutely in love. To the point where it is now my new (BL) comfort series.
I bring this up because I’ve been the exact same way about a lot of the newer (like 2022 and on) BLs for the last couple years but now I’m thinking I should give Love in the Air a chance as well because I’ve heard great things about it. Should I?
I’m also down for any recommendations. I’ve watched a couple newer(ish) BLs like Bad Buddy and Cooking Crush and love both of those. But most others I haven’t watched bc my brain hates me and doesn’t want me to have nice things sometimes.
Basically: should I watch Love in the Air? And/or does anyone have any other recommendations (preferably from 2022 and onwards) to try to get into the current BL world?

How to make a Thai BL starter pack

Note: I'm 83% sure @colourme-feral knows the exact location of all these places and any other location in a Thai BL, so if you really are interested in starting that BL, go follow.
This post IS for you, @gillianthecat! Compile that list!

do you prefer bls which are adapted from pre-existing ips (novel/manga/webtoon...) or do you prefer original bl works? specifically for thai bls, i feel like there's not many original scripted bl series out there, off the top of my head only itsay and mlc comes to mind. or even when it's original sometimes they'd release a novel version first too? (eg: never let me go, only friends, dangerous romance, last twilight...)
Thank you for the ask, Non! Such an interesting question to ponder.
I don't think I have a preference. I took this question back to my amazing BL elders circle, and we chatted about various states of provenance for canon material. What's particularly fascinating by way of trends now in Thailand is when a screenplay gets written first, and the Y novel gets written after, which I think has happened only extremely rarely in Japan and Korea. What's interesting about this phenomenon to me is the cultural "need" for a novel component to be associated with a show, as original Y novels were so very integral to the birth of the BL/Series Y genre in Thailand with the premiere and adaptation of Love Sick from an original novel. I happen to like the component that fans of a drama need a full-circle experience with a novel to accompany the process of being a fan of a drama series.
But all that being said, there are times when it's clear that a screenplay is based off a novel, times when it's clear that a script is original, and times when none of this is clear. When a drama is good, it's usually when the right balance of script, editing, and acting excellence has been hit, and I don't think that's necessarily always dependent on there needing to be a prior source material element. It should hopefully be as simple as that. I had my first full-circle experience with a drama and a novel when I watched, then read the source material for, I Feel You Linger In The Air, and the novel did indeed change how I felt about the drama (I want more sassy Jom, damn it!). But that process was a LOT of fun to go through, particularly because the novel's plot happened to be quite solid, and the show's director, Tee Bundit, futzed around with the plot in ways that indeed suited his vision for sad boyz, but also added drama and unexpected spotlights on other equity issues that I think made the drama a lovely piece of art on its own.
The Elders DID remind me that the second season of Minato's Laundromat was original, not based in manga canon, and that may have sunk the show -- without the direction of the manga, the screenwriters may not have known how to tie plot knots as well on their own. In the end, if a novel, a manga, a manhwa, or a drama series is great, I'm happy to celebrate that piece of art without putting pressure on it to influence other pieces of art. I just hope the time I spend watching dramas ends up being worth the payoff!
I hope this kinda answers your question, Non!

Thai: A school boy meets another school boy
Japanese: See above or Colleagues fall in love.
Taiwanese: See above or Step brothers!
Mean while Korea: Vampire falls in love. A colourblind person finds his soulmate. An orphan finds his love. A actor and chef falls in love. A nobleman marries a cross dressing man. Roommates become boyfriends. An author with 2 life times of memories finds love. Assassins fall in love. A dancer and loan shark get together. A cat and dog, reincarnate as humans and find themselves boyfriends.
No one brings this kind of variety to the table other than Korea.
