This Week in BL - Bit Slow Round These Parts

Organized, in each category, by ones I'm enjoying most at the top.

Dec 2023 Wk 4

Ongoing Series - Thai

Last Twilight (Fri YT) ep 8 of 12 - Mhok is about the most indulgent boyfriend on the planet. Why they dressed as 1930s gangsters for the wedding? I have no idea idea, but it’s adorable. IFYLITA mark 2? And they’re even dancing together using bits of the same steps that were used that show too. Cute nod.

The Sign (Sat YT) ep 6 of 10 - Everything but the kitchen sink includes lesbians apparently. Excellent. Carry on. Also a lot of filler about the sides. (Boring, stop that.) I wish the doctor were a little bit more of a multifaceted character (and less evil snakey), and that we had some of his backstory + Tharn. If we saw them as kids, having a longer true friendship, it would make Tharn’s attitude a little bit more sympathetic and forgiving.

For Him (Thurs iQIYI) ep 5 of 10 - I like this show, but it’s awfully one-sided in the romance arena. I mean shouldn’t they be trying to support and make each other happy? Why does it always have to come from Him? Also, I’m constantly worried about the fact that Nail doesn’t eat any vegetables. His digestive track must be in serious distress. And if the boy is a bottom?! Look I have concerns is all I'm saying, I hope he's getting his fiber along with the dk. Meanwhile... Mom confrontation! Always fun.  

Twins the series (Fri GaGa) ep 9 of 10 - Now I’m having a hard time keeping the twins straight. Who’s getting beat up for whom, what’s going on? No matter who, First caught himself a live one. I like those bits.

Pit Babe (Fri iQIYI) ep 7 of 14 - I got little crumbs of my sides but not enough, and then they dropped the mpreg bomb. Kinda like blowing the BL diaper. Trash watch happening here.

Cooking Crush (Sun YT) ep 5 of 12 - They are so cute. And mostly such good communicators. Except evil dad is evil! I didn’t have OffGun tango on my bingo card, but I'm happy to check it off. After making everyone sing, GMMTV is now making everyone dance. I much prefer it. Kiss came a bit out of nowhere. But it was sweet. 

A few minutes later...

Bake Me Please (Mon Gaga) ep 6fin - I don’t know, I feel like this just wasn’t good enough for the class of talent involved. Which means it’s mostly the story and script's fault. In the end I kinda just wanted Guy to get the guy.

In cluclusion:

A lack-luster story about a group of bakers coping with (mostly) a shoddy script that could not be saved by either the beauty nor the talent of the actors involved. It suffered for lack of narrative backbone and so did I. 6/10

Middleman’s Love (Fri YT & iQIYI ep 8fin - Mai is an adorable clingy boyfriend, and that bit was kind of cute.

Summation:

Office clown, Jade, a manic pixie dream dork, is courted by the new intern, Mai. This show is right in my wheelhouse but it fell flat for me. I wish it had lived up to the concept behind the title (if nothing else). If we had done more of Jade‘s family and the reasons behind his self-worth struggles and self-acceptance issues, they might have been easier to bare. Without backstory, the show had no through line. In the end, Jade was a largely intolerable character, and Mai felt flat and lacking in personality. I was disappointed with this show, and I hope they don't blame the pair for the poor ratings. 6/10

My Universe (Sun iQIYI) 1626 ep 19 of 24 - Meh. So dull. 

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

VIP Only (Taiwan Fri Gaga) ep 7 of 10 - I’m not really interested in the late addition love triangle concept.

Sahara-sensei to Toki-kun (Japan Fri Gaga) ep 4 of 8 - a bit too frenetic and manic for me, this one. Glasses boy is best boy. But I’m kind of confused as to was actually going on with this show. Including whether I like it or not.

I Became the Main Role of a BL (Japan Sun Gaga) ep 1-3 - AKA BL Drama no Shuen ni Narimashita: Crank Up Hen - it should finish airing at the very beginning of the year, so I decided to wait and watch all 3 back-to-back. 

It's Airing But...

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.

Night Dream (Sat YT) 6 eps - It’s a pain to track down and I really didn’t like the first episode so… DNF  

The Whisperer (Sun ????) 10 eps - Thai horror BL that ALSO involves cheating (what joy is mine). I don't think even the perfect single dimple can motivate me to watch. Word is... it's terrible.

7 Days Before Valentine (Weds WeTV) 10 eps - Giving me Luminous Solution vibes. I'm waiting to binge if safe.

Dead Friend Forever (Thai Sat iQIYI) - horror, meh, tell me if it's worth my time?

It's done and I didn't, or we can't

Beyond The Star (Weds iQIYI) 8 eps - House of Stars meets Boyband. I was NOT impressed with ep 1. Been told I shouldn't bother. So I won't.

Behind the Shadows (Korea movie) - This is a historical I was interested in, but I've been told they kill the gay so I'm OUT.

[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.

What Did You Eat Yesterday Season 2 AKA Kinou Nani Tabeta? Season 2 (Japan Gaga) 10 eps - will binge when I have a spare day.

Crazy work load right now so no idea when that will be. (End of year is a bear for me.)

Honestly I'm gonna have an epic number of dnf's this year for me.

Next Week Looks Like This

Original 2023 forthcoming BL master post (see comments, some are inaccurate, NOT KEPT UPDATED). With the end of the year upon us I'll do an "announced for 2023 but never happened list" soon.

Also my best ofs are coming.

Don't think I'll do a stats round up this year, everything progressing as before.

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

(Last week) - sorry, forgot to link it.

It's 2024 people! Round ups are coming!!!! Leave a comment or an ask, if you have something specific you want addressed.

[firstkanaphans]

okay, so based off of the lineup we saw from part 1 I think I see gmmtv's logic process (to clarify, not saying i'm happy about it, just that i think i see what they're doing 😂)

it seems like they saved a lot of their more experimental and/or riskier pitches for this part 1 - basically the ones that are more likely to slip under the radar if they'd been presented alongside the big fan fave pairings, directors and/or show concepts. but to make it a little more even they did pad it somewhat with a few easy fan faves like offgun and geminifourth to keep it a little more even.

my guess for why they saved firstkhao for part 2 is because they're saving part 2 for the big hard hitting pairs and show concepts. this way, the shows that would be more likely to go under the radar in part 1 get some time to shine on their own and garner interest before the big name shows/directors come in and occupy the fan discussion circles.

this way it also keeps fans coming back to watch pt 2 for the pairs that they're waiting to see. i also think it gives the producers some time to take a temp check and see what fans are/aren't interested in before committing to their 2nd half.

on one hand, it does suck that we have to wait a while longer before we see our boys again, but on the other, at least we'll have something to look forward to in dec/jan! also, even though they definitely deserve better than to be used as fan bait, i'm also kind of weirdly proud of our fk boys being saved for the pt 2 because that means they've officially made it in the big ranks if they are being used to boost ratings, haha 😂 :')

So, I’m going to put this under a read more because y’all’ve had to listen to me gripe enough for one day. Fair warning: Apparently, I’m still heated so open at your own risk.

This is a very nice thought, Anon, but honestly, I don't think these people have any idea what they're doing 😂 If their idea was to use Part 1 to make people more excited for Part 2, then they failed miserably considering they didn't even tell us when Part 2 was. Next week? Next month? Next year? No one knows. Much less us, the viewers.

Right now, I just feel used. If they had announced all of the shows today and FirstKhaotung didn't get anything, I would have been disappointed, but I at least wouldn't feel like the possibility of them was being dangled in front of me like a carrot. I feel like P'Tha is in his evil lair, stroking his chin, saying, "Let's see how well they sell out their next couple fan meets then we'll make a final decision on whether to give them a new series." Dishonor on all their cows!

Splitting this into 2 parts was just a bad idea all around. Like are they really going to have another big to-do in a couple months (unlikely) or is Part 2 just going to be held on the GMMTV Live House set? Neo and Mark can host since they apparently don't have anything better to do either.

As to why they split the show into two parts, I’ve seen some people hypothesize that the Only Friends cast wasn’t included because they wouldn’t have had time to film the trailers, but they’ve been done filming OF for a while. If the cast didn’t have time to film trailers, it’s because GMMTV has them flying all over the world to fan meets every weekend. And that’s on GMMTV. Those fan meets should not get in the way of actual acting. 

A better guess, in my opinion, is that whatever director they’re scheduled to work with is the one who didn’t have time to film a trailer. P’Jojo for instance is apparently editing Only Friends episodes on a week-to-week basis so it makes sense that he wouldn’t have time to film anything. I hope this means that FK might be working with a very solid director, but they’ve also just recently started following New Siwaj on Twitter so that specter will continue haunting us for the next couple months (or more) as well. 

I just personally feel that GMMTV has really backed themselves into a corner here because now if FK don’t get something legitimately good, I’m going to be even more pissed than I already am. You kept me waiting for this?? And the cherry on top of this already horrendous situation is the fucking School Rangers announcement.

I cannot tell you how mad I am about the School Rangers thing. School Rangers is where they send actors to die. White’s been holding his own there for years because no one wants to cast him in anything else. So, to bolster ratings, they throw the entire cast of Only Friends in there. It pisses me off! They’re using our built-in fanbase for views on a show they don’t even have the decency to translate. Can you tell I'm angry?

Bottom line: these are actors. Let them fucking act. Because if you keep making them do ridiculous game show shit, they’re going to fucking leave—and I would not blame them at all. FK could probably make more money with a YouTube channel at this point.

I’m sorry I’m being so negative about this. To clarify: I do think FK are getting a series together (since they’re clearly not in anything else 🙃). And I don’t even need them to be in a series together to be happy. I just need them to be in fucking something. 

I mean, if there’s one bright side to all of this, it’s that I can’t imagine they’ll do this shit again because they’ve managed to piss off so many fandoms. I remember watching the show last year and being so fucking excited but now, I can’t even get excited about the few shows I'm interested in because there's this huge “what if?” hanging over our heads. The long, drawn-out wait for news just seems cruel and I think they should all go fuck themselves, honestly.

[stormyoceans]

offgun confirmed today on gmmtv live house that cooking crush will air on sunday the 26th of November, which means that the friday/saturday slots will be free after dr and ofts...... you know what the means, right? NO MORE CLOWNING, WE ARE GETTING THAT TRAILER AND THE LT ERA IS ON THE HORIZON. My bet is that it's gonna air on saturday, which begs the question: will we get the trailer this week or on saturday after ofts ends? And will there be a special episode so that means the first episode will air on the 11th of November or will the show start immediately since gmmtv seems to have abandoned the idea of a special episode? I lowkey want one because i just want to dive inside the mind of each and every cast member lmao

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

[PUTS A DETECTIVE HAT ON TOP OF HER CLOWN WIG] OKAY HEAR ME OUT

with cooking crush taking the sunday slot, im even more convinced that last twilight is gonna air on saturday. only friends is ending this week and GMMTV needs a trailer to play after the last episode is over (it’s usually what happens, unless there’s a rerun). cherry magic is still in the middle of the filming process, and while that doesn’t mean they can’t release a trailer for it, we know that the last twilight one is fully wrapped up and ready to go because people inside the company have already seen it, so it only makes sense for last twilight to replace only friends on saturday

we also know that GMMTV always does an official trailer release announcement, which means they only have three days left to do it before saturday. im not taking friday into consideration because they have to promote the new dangerous romance episode and it would be a conflict of interest to release anything on the same date, so that leaves tomorrow and thursday. right now im personally leaning more towards thursday, if only because sea is a guest on live house tomorrow, and just like offgun confirmed cooking crush airing date on it, i expect sea to give us some news about last twilight too

as for the ‘inside’ episode, it’s true that GMMTV hasn’t done one in a while, but i think we actually might get one for last twilight. i don’t have strong proofs to back this up, but

the first picture was shared at the beginning of october and we still don’t know what it is for. the second one is from a short video p’aof shared yesterday and we all thought it was an old one, from the same day of the first pic since jimmy and sea are wearing the same clothes, but apparently it actually is from yesterday. the three of them filming a special episode could explain this, and even if that would mean waiting one more week for the show to air I REALLY REALLY WANT ONE BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SHOW

ANYWAY. tl;dr/monica you’re not making any sense/please for the love of god shut up already: LAST TWILIGHT IN THE SATURDAY SLOT. TRAILER ON THURSDAY. SPECIAL EP ON NOV 4 AND FIRST EP ON NOV 11. IF IM WRONG ONCE AGAIN IM GONNA EAT MY CLOWN WIG

#WHAT IS ENGLISH. WHAT IS COHERENCY #I REALLY FEEL LIKE A DETECTIVE SLOWLY LOSING HER MIND OVER A MURDER BOARD COMPLETE WITH PINS AND RED STRINGS #AT THIS POINT IM HOPING GMMTV IS JUST GONNA MERCY OF MY POOR SANITY WHICH IS DETERIORATING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT #ANYWAY!!!!! thank you for asking my opinion and thank you for letting me know about cooking crush airing on nov 26!!!! #hope you're having a wonderful day!!!! 💜 #last twilight the series #hsfavoriteworlds #m: ask

[lamonnaie]

hi!! gmmtv anon again :)

it feels like they’re trying to catch up with all of their delayed stuff, which is good for them and for us ig. they’re already filming two of the announced shows, and phuwin said they are gonna start filming we are pretty soon - they have three q’s for wednesday club left and filming for we are should start soonish after he’s done with that. also, the interest has already been filmed i think. same goes for my precious which is apparently just a longer version of the movie from what i’ve gathered.

and i just saw that they dropped the wednesday club trailer which is supposed to start airing at the beginning of november (sidenote: i love how they air two eps a week for a lot of their het shows lmao). 23.5 is definitely gonna air in 2024 but we already knew that. cooking crush and last twilight might take over the slote of dangerous romance and only friends. so that would be another two unaired gmm23 shows out of the way.

pls fk also had me fooled. mostly bc they said they were gonna go on stage together and i mean they didn’t lie but damn was i disappointed when it was only for school rangers and the LOL announcement lol.

pond definitely said he was gonna focus on school next year, but idk about joong. i would love for him to do at least another show, preferably with dunk 🤡, since i don’t think he’ll play a huge part in ploy’s yearbook and his arc looks to be a adoptive siblings falling in love with each other story which i’m personally not a fan of.

i’m also very bad at predicitions but i think it’s mostly because i’m heavily biased when it comes to my faves 😭.

oh reddit is on another level fr. i saw the jossgawin rumor and was like oh that would be fun but never in a million years would i have expected them to actually pair them upx and don’t even get me started on the greatinn thing bc i read that post and was like 👁️👄👁️ when i was done

helloo :)

okay when u put it like that, it seems that they're not going too bad for scheduling so far (i'm so glad). wednesday club !!! absolute missed opportunity to not be airing it on wednesdays smh

also i find it so funny that taynew offgun got 2 new shows when their 2023 ones haven't even aired yet 😂😭 gmm rlly said 💲capitalism💲, they know there's a guaranteed audience there so they went for it lmao

WAIT WHAT i did not know it was a stepsiblings story 😭😭 i've seen plenty of that in taiwan, was not expecting gmm to go there hajskdjf. i definitely want more joongdunk, but i also wanna see joong in another het role because he was great in the warp effect (also i just like seeing people outside of their established cps :)) also joylada gang show when?? i wanna see the 4 of them act together so bad 😩😩 it could be the worst show ever and i'd STILL tune in

also its interesting that there were so many rookies cast in shows this time around, i don't think it's usually this many?

that's so real about ur favs tho, if u ask me to make predictions about any het series i will NOT have a clue lmao

honestly half convinced someone on reddit works at gmm at this point, i'm gonna lurk on there for a bit before the next part of announcements and i bet there'll be a guaranteed bingo on my bingo card 😆

#u get ur own tag now anon #gmmtv anon #gotta go back and tag all ur asks xD #asks

[mew-light]

GMMTV2024: My predictions

have to update this bad boy before part 2.

Two GL(s) Considering the fact that 23.5 got moved to next year we did get 2 GLs but I'm still gonna keep the one spot for part 2.

Highschool setting gotta skip to part 2 I guess

University setting Pluto seems to have the story start during their university years but it also seems to be a bit more mature

2. Eight BL(s) it was eight + a couple of questionable ones (which made it to the lakorn category after all), I did pretty good

Office setting OffGun came to warm my hear again with The Trainee

Something mature I wanna say Wandee Goodday because GreatInn are both seasoned actors and although it seems to be more of a comedy show, I was really rooting for seasoned actors and storylines where the characters are older

Something supernatural Somebody at GMMTV must be smoking something really strong because whoever saw Gawin and said I need Joss paired up with him (or the opposite) must be either a genius or not okay in general, anyway My Golden Blood looks cringe af but I hope they make something AT LEAST watchable (don't fail my boy Gawin)

A lighthearted one Only Boo!

Highschool setting My Love Mix-Up

University setting We Are

2nd season of something they've already done/Special EPs leaving this for part 2

Can't really say what P'Aof has in his mind but probably a novel to series adaption, could be anything apparently P'Aof did some writing for My Golden Blood but he hasn't picked up something to direct yet, we'll see

3. Ten Lakorns they only announced six, what the....

By Lakorn I add anything that does not add up with the BL/GL/Queer genre.

2 or 3 shows will toy with the supernatural stuff (this includes 2nd seasons of their previous shows) Enigma 2 and Peaceful Property On Sale

Office setting (I swear it's really popular) I think I may have failed here

A looking back to our past show, like melodrama waiting for part 2

A lakorn af show with lots of family drama and rich people problems waiting for part 2

A Snap25 Productions show that's a lakorn but for younger audiences Ploy's Yearbook, although I could add it to another guess, I have to show my love for Snap25

Age difference lakorn man, they tried it 2 years in a row and now they may not wanna do it anymore

I wanna say an idol story lakorn but it's a long shot, so maybe a mafia lakorn (?) why did both of those guesses get into the BL category (Only Boo! and Kidnap), we'll see in part 2

Something female based, like a girl trying to find herself etc could have placed Ploy's Yearbook here as well but I'm gonna leave it for part 2

Overall I think I did pretty good but I really have no idea what my expectations for part 2 are... I guess we will see!

Since you talked about OffGun as a pairing, I have a question for you. Ive seen people say Not Me is the last time they will be working together (apparently they said or it was hinted at) but (if it's true) do you think its because of shippers?

Oh no. What Off said was that it would most likely be their last BL, specifically. Which is just a natural thing at this point of their careers. BLs are almost always centred around young characters in high school or university settings. At 31 and almost 29, Off and Gun are simply too old to be doing these roles. Their chances of getting a project they are suited for are even lower considering GMM doesn't usually make mature BLs and tends to stick to high school and university settings even when themes are darker/more mature.

Both Off and Gun have previously done and will likely continue to do queer roles/projects outside of BL. They also want to continue to work together as an entertainer duo like they have been throughout their partnership so shows like OffGun Fun Night and Mommy Taste and joint fan events will continue on the same. It's also not impossible they some day act together again simply because they work really well together. It's really just that they've grown out of the average age range for BLs. Even though Gun hasn't aged a day past 21....

As for shippers, it's true that they have had a lot of negativity thrown at them entirely unprovoked by so called fans over the years. Off was criticised for having a girlfriend, then for hiding his girlfriend despite him making it very clear they were together and just preferred to have a private relationship, then for breaking up with his girlfriend amicably, then accused of faking the break-up over a year later for no reason other than she was seen hanging out with Tay and there was a blurry figure in the picture people assumed was Off even though he was on set that day and not playing badminton. Gun was also criticised for "breaking them up" and then later accused of hooking up with a friend of his due to rumours the friend's ex started. Also for having friends in general bc people seem to hate his friend group despite them knowing him for years and years and not having done anything problematic as far as I know. And also for not looking sad in 2020 bc his mother died in 2018. My point is! Off and Gun get like a LOT of criticism, but they've never let it hinder their work or their partnership. They usually don't even acknowledge the rumours anymore if they can help it. They're good at dealing with the negativity fandoms send their way and wouldn't change the way they work either together or separately just because people on the internet are assholes.

tag 9 people you want to get to know better xD tysm for the tag @topcatnikki 💕💕

• favourite colour: hmmmm probably blue but i also have a weakness for yellows and oranges, and im the kind of person that says fuck colour schemes gimme all the colours at once pls

• currently reading: well... technically im 'currently reading' a lot, seen as i have a lot of books and manga that im some way through but havent picked up in about 6 months. i was rereading lotr, and also have haikyuu, tpn, bnha vigilantes and the bsd dead apple light novel on the go but haven't picked them up in ages. i recently finished the HMC audiobook, and am also constantly checking the bad buddy tag on ao3 (i live on the explicit tag just waiting for somebody to answer my prayers)

• last song: เดาไม่เก่ง by three man down, but i've been circulating between that album, the tilly birds 2020 album and ofc THE PATPRAN ALBUM so long, see you tomorrow by bombay bicycle club, but also sprinkle in there the offgun not me ost and the new kinnporsche ost

• last series: that i finished would be semantic error (10/10, best kbl up there with to my star) oh and i finished all of us are dead which i was watching with my sister. currently the shows im invested in are not me and you're my sky, but im also watching enchante, cherry blossoms after winter and cutie pie, but they havent caught me as much

• sweet/savoury/spicy: can i have all 3?? im not a big big flavour person, richly flavoured food actually makes me feel kinda sick, so can i have something mildly sweet, savoury and spicy all at once?? dont know what that food would be but if you find out lemme know i'd love it

• currently working on: well i have 4 bad buddy fics at different stages of completion that have been sat in my docs just kinda sitting there, waiting for me to one day muster up the effort to do something about them. at this point i just wanna get 1 fic out just to show myself that i can actually do the thing. knitting-wise, i have a cardigan in the early stages that has been giving me grief (dont ask ill get mad again and you dont wanna see me in my full on knitting rage), i have 1 sock done that at some point will materialise into patpran socks, and the pran mood vest is coming along even tho i had to undo the whole thing a couple of days ago bc apparently i love making mistakes recently

#made by jemmo #this post is basically just a welcome to the inside of my chaotic brain

[meteorjam]

thx a lot for the lovely OhmFluke updates. there's probably big pressure+expectations if and when they'll do another full series (not counting Close Friends since that felt more like a project). Hopefully it will have a great director+budget, it would be a shame if opportunity is wasted. Oh!MySunshineNight sounds cute but I'm nervous bout it since it's made by a newbie company. Have u heard of the huge Tencent WeTV BL drama? Apparently, the main leads will be a ship that fans have been missing..

No problem! Yeah people have been anticipating them working together again and it's starting to look like they have more than one project lined up. The director of Oh! My Sunshine Night, Ongart Singlumpong, directed Romantic Blue as well as some other lakorns and is the executive director at Channel 8. He's a talented director it seems and he talked about wanting this story to reach a mass audience and be special (see video and translation here). They're taking their time with it which is good to see. The company may be new, but P'News has a lot of support and has done so many great things, along with P'Note, for Ohm and Fluke in the past already. I think in terms of budget things will be alright but I guess we'll have to wait and see if all the time and effort spent on the script pays off. We know the acting and chemistry will be fantastic at least so one less thing to worry about there. Hmm I've not heard much about the Tencent/WeTV series just have seen a few posts here and there on twitter (this is an edit in post but I realized you probably were talking about 609 Bedtime story oops). What I HAVE seen is everyone theorizing OhmFluke are also getting roles in Make a Wish and 609 Bedtime Story. This is very peculiar to me because that would mean they have 3 big projects lined up where they are the main lead/pairing which just sounds like a lot??? I love their dynamic of course but more popular acting partners like OffGun for example who have been working together for 5 years don't even have announcements like that so close after another. If it's true then great for us I guess but I'll wait for everything to be confirmed because I'm a bit skeptical.

More project rumors under the cut

Here's the poster for Make a Wish and most of the speculation is coming from the way the characters look here so make with that what you will.

The information we have on 609 Bedtime Story is much more strange however and it seems like that on IMDb Pro Ohm and Fluke are already listed in the cast (see screengrabs here). The listed director is also Tanwarin Sukkhapisit who directed Red Wine in the Dark Night (you know, the weird sexual vampire movie Fluke was in) sooooo I have no clue what's going on there. Here's a picture of the poster tho:

So yeah the only thing we can really be sure about is OMSN but it looks like they're involved in 609 Bedtime Story in some capacity??? I'm not sure how reliable IMDb Pro is to be honest.

#fluke natouch #ohm thitiwat #ohmfluke #my blue #oh! my sunshine night #oh my sunshine night #make a wish the series #609 bedtime story #bl dramas #thaibl #thai drama #listen I only know any of this because Fluke is my favorite actor and he happens to be involved with a thousand mysterious projects #if Chimmon were my number one this wouldn't be happening his new series just got announced jksdnjkn #Fluke said I'll keep you guessing #ask #anonymous

[berrymeter]

oh yea!! recs i've only seen TOL, 2gther, Gifted, Shipper(this is one weird ass show), and currently watching I'm tee, me too in thai do u have other recs?? oh and btw if you're watching FOE i gotta say that the good things are the male lead, female lead, the daughter, the romance, the pacing, the direction; the plot is good but kinda weird (but hey it's a kdrama), bad: the villain is unrealistic and tropey (3)

ooooh i haven’t seen shipper and i don’t think i’ll watch i’m tee me too bc i try to avoid new as much as i can adhjkshfk i’m def tempted to watch it for offgun and tay tho..... tho tay is on thin ice ngl

okay this is going to get long i’m so sorry apparently i can’t put a read more on asks??? what the fuck is this staff fix this

hmmm for show recs i would... ironically say dark blue kiss (i haven’t seen kiss me again or kiss the series but from what i know those are the happier parts of the ‘franchise’... don’t ask why i only watched dbk i don’t know HKJDHGJ). i watched it before i knew new is an asshole and anyway i got really attached to the side pairing, and all the female characters are honestly written so well! i fucking love the little group that is sun, mork, rain and manaow they’re literally the BEST. now the main plotline is honestly annoying and i skipped petekao’s scenes a lot but i love the “antagonist”... like he’s a troubled kid and does very bad things but i understand him and i just fhdfkgjh feel bad for him. khai formated my brain to feel bad for assholes

i also like until we meet again though it gets slow in the last few episodes until the last two, and also HUGE trigger warning for reccurring pretty graphic double suicide... i love the show but it could’ve done well without that many gunshots =_=. it’s super sad but also super feel good i find, all the characters are endearing as hell and there isn’t really a conflict between the characters except in the second to last episode - but like... if you watch you’ll understand what i mean dnsjkfh

i haven’t seen it yet but i really want to watch my engineer, i heard good things about it so i figure i could recommend it.....?? honestly i mostly want to watch it bc lay talay is super pretty but <3 i’m sure the show is great <3

love by chance is another show i liked tho do NOT watch the last ep of s1 i am begging. do not watch it. for ur sake. also the second season is airing rn and i haven’t started watching it yet but according to what i see on the dash the side pairing is going a LOT better than in s1 !! also warning for like, assault and blackmail :|, rare are the shows that don’t need warnings

and ooooh wait the stranded!! since you’ve seen foe which i think is on netflix i assume you can watch the stranded too!! it’s REALLY good and we Need a second season like yesterday. ummm PEOPLE DIE. and it’s kind of gross sometimes. also super sad as hell and it ruins u. but the show is AMAZING it has only 7 eps but like Holy Fuck i love this show so much. the antagonist is a loser but like that’s fine we can bully him

i’d recommend the untamed but that shit is LONG and i’m sure u’ve already heard of it fhdkjgh. if u want to watch HIStory the series, uhhh i’ve heard trapped is really good? make our days count was great but once again do not watch the last ep (bury your gays trope). i also ignore the side pairing bc not knowing the older dude’s age makes me want to Die. i really just have xiang haoting & yu xigu on the brain 24/7 this show gave me “i need a boyfriend” brainrot and i can’t get it to leave me alone

Ummm i NEED to watch mr heart and where your eyes linger so i’m telling you to watch them too dhskfhdkjg. ik wyel ended well so i’m like... crying everyday i don’t watch it (and yet i still don’t bc adhd says No <3). i also want to watch the king: eternal monarch but that’s exclusively bc woo dohwan is hot. my brain is out of recommendations for now so have all of this (and do not watch waterboyy or tharntype)

... anyway back to FOE <3 tropey villain... ah well i guess this had to be hdskjhgk. still i think i’m going to check it out even if the wife is a cop :/ everyone on here obsesses over criminal minds i can allow myself one (1) copaganda. i’m sure the daughter makes up for it i love kids sm

Hi! Just finished watching Not Me some 3 days ago and then went into Theory of Love for OffGun. It was kinda clear they won't be doing any more BL tbh, like, you could feel it. What I wanted to ask is if Thai BL doesn't do justice to a couple wanting to bone, then what type of BL will? I haven't watched much so I've no clue. Am I looking for Taiwan? I guess I'm asking for good physical chemistry and good chemistry in general. Excited to see more from these actors tho, esp Gun. And yeah, I don't think they would have been able to play in Bad Buddy. OhmNanon does it differently. <3

OffGun? I wrote them a eulogy. 

I guess I'm asking for good physical chemistry and good chemistry in general.

You are looking for Taiwan. 

What can I tell you? 

It’s ALWAYS Taiwan. 

Here, will this convince you? 

Let’s see, so you want: HIStory Obsessed, HIStory 4, both HIStory 2s, both HIStory 3s (MODC is EXPLICIT, if you want boning, this is your BL, just don’t watch the last ep, stop watching as soon as they move in together), and We Best Love, Be Loved In House I Do, Love is Science?, even the lesser BLs like Because of You bring on the “oh yeah, they actually desire each other.” Christ in See You After Quarantine? they aren’t even on screen together and it’s still pretty darn clear... yes, there will be sex. 

We all expect great things from Plus and Minus. 

Just don’t expect good story, okay? 

Let’s see... Who else manages this? 

Some of Strongberry’s short stuff from Korea (like Some More, A First Love Story). Also Long Time No See, Just Friends? and Semantic Error. 

But mostly just... Taiwan. 

I mean the darker stuff from Japan can go there but honestly do you want to follow where they go? That’s the question... 

That said, watch My Beautiful Man. I mean you haffa. It’s just fucking amazing. Like Japan was all, 

“We would like to take this BL moment to remind you that we started this madness, you beetches, and this is HOW TF IT’S DONE. TAKE IT AND LIKE IT.” 

And we were all, “Thank you, Japan, may we have another?”

But in general, yes, safer to just go to Taiwan. 

The baby island will provide. 

It’s there for you. 

It’s there for all of us. 

It’s not like you have much to get through, they only have 20 or so worth watching and 40 total. 

Otherwise it’s: Love By Chance, Why R U?, Cutie Pie, TharnType, Don’t Say No, and Secret Crush On You. (Ha! Apparently either Zee, Saint, or MewGulf have to be involved. Fair cop.) 

Oh, right, any of MaxTul oeuvre will work too. 

Right *waggles hand* sally forth. 

Visit with Taiwanese BL for a while, you will not regret it. 

Oh here’s this post:

Do you think Offgun will be able to handle the high heat of Not Me novel or do you think GMMTV will sanitise it right down? To me they are more sweet, low heat but the novel certainly isn’t.

Well, initially, I would have said they'll sanitize the shizz right out of it. But GMMTV is surprising me a lot these days. Plus Off had his shirt off in ep 1, that's... new for everyone concerned.

It will definitely NOT be high heat though. I mean not like Taiwan or TharnType or what have you. Middle level heat if anything. Just for viewer numbers and ratings reasons they can't push into:

I think we might get more from them than we've had before but not a lot more. Maybe OffGun wants to go out on a bang? (Pun intended.)

I am slightly worried about this one but not for heat reasons, for violence messaging reasons. As fun as it is to play with the "be gay do crime trope" out of Japan, there's a reason Thailand hasn't historically done this at all.

It's counter to their general pop culture philosophy and government restrictions. Thailand as a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy under (basically) military control, which means it's wiggly about anything that can be perceived as encouraging violence or social unrest, especially since the recent judicial coup and public protests of the last few years.

GMMTV is playing with fire with this aspect, making their leads (apparently) violent activists. They have to tread very carefully. And the characters will need to be punished for this anti-regime behavior, and their actions shown in a very negative light. I'm absolutely not saying this will happen, but historically when a BL goes up against censorship it usually results in the kill your gays trope.

(Also it does also often have higher heat levels. Hyper sexualized gay boys almost always have to be punished by the narrative for their desire. It's a THING.)

Ok your top ten facts sparked a question/debate for me. Of the oldest bl couples in the running who do you think will win, and why? BoomPeak, MaxTul, or OffGun? I have to confess I've never watching any of BoomPeak's dramas and know very little about them, so I can only speak to MaxTul and OffGun.

OffGun's new series may apparently come out in December according to Off, and MaxTul said they are going to have a new show next year. I do think OffGun stated Not Me would be their last drama together sadly though. But honestly I think for both couples those will probably be their last dramas together? Isn't Tul getting his masters or something? Idk I read that he's interested in other things, I could see him leaving acting behind, though not Max. As for OffGun I could see them doing OffGun Fun Night occasionally in the future, even if they don't plan on working together in a drama again. I definitely think Gun would do more BL in the future (isn't he rumored to be doing something with Oab again?), but I think Off would only do it again with Gun, though he seems much more open now then he was when they first started in 2016 so maybe not. Sorry I'm rambling, but I'm curious what your thoughts are.

oooo, pure speculation.

This is hard because it’s less like acting than speculating about whether a K-pop group or rock band will stay together. Celebrity partnerships and co-brands are tricky business. 

So I thought, years ago, that BoomPeak were done. 

Then they came back.

I also thought MaxTul said they were done after Manner of Death so was very surprised when they said they were doing another (RUMOR ONLY). (I thought Tul was off getting an advanced degree and Max said something about traveling around China).

So the fact that OffGun said/hinted they are stopping after Not Me... stacked up against that? Not to mention the brand $ dump truck OffGun has access too AS OffGun? I honestly don’t know. Frankly the biggest strike against them is belonging to GMMTV.

At this juncture... I think I actually give the odds to BoomPeak. Simply because they are the youngest. 

But my money would probably be on some of the 2nd generation pairs lasting longer when all is said and done. KimCop or OhmFluke maybe. OhmFluke has such a reliable visually appealing seme/uke, and such a gentle and kindly professional manner. Even BounPrem might have serious staying power for all their crazy prankster personas. 

We know from MaxTul that to last and stay healthy a BL pair has gotta be a: 

genuine friendship + willingness to co-brand + ability to win roles 

Those first two are under the actors’ control but the third part is not. 

All that said, I could see MaxTul coming out of retirement in 20 years and doing the Thai version of What did you eat yesterday? just because they can. Kings gonna king.
