Caged Again (2024) dir. Potae Anusara Korsamphan Episode 9

[pinkkop]

For the past while I've been wanting to start doing weekly post about the QL's I'm watching and the new year is the perfect opportunity to start doing just that!

It'll be a place where i can share my thoughts on the BL and GL shows while I'm watching them and leave my final thoughts as well.

This week I've just left the shows in alphabetical order but I'll probably start sorting them from most to least liked next week. Also I hope this post doesn't feel too long since I don't know where I'd place a cut 😊

Let me know if there's anything you find confusing or if there's anything I could do better for next week.

QL Recap for Week 1 The 30th of December to 5th of January

🇹🇭 Caged Again Ep. 9 of 10 ----- Watching on: Gagaoolala

I'm still enjoying this a lot but it's definitely lost some of its spark. 

🇹🇭 Fourever You Ep. 15 of 16 ---------- Watching on: Gray

I'd completely forgotten that WeTV starts fast-tracking the episodes towards the end so color me surprised when I saw that ep 15 was also available and unsurprisingly I watched it the second I realized. I lost interest in Ter and Hill a couple of episodes ago so I don't pay much attention to them anymore. I am however really enjoying Johan and North. I feel like I haven't seen this kind of pairing before. I'm really enjoying the slow development of North slowly learning who Johan is and opening up to him and then Johan slowly opening up to North as well. I'm not a fan of when characters get unnecessarily jealous of their romantic interest's friends or have a problem with friends being close like when Hill saw a problem with how North and Ter cuddle. On top of this I don't like when a character makes decisions for their romantic interest unless they are small decisions, which meant that I also wasn't a fan of how Hill and Johan fixed the "problem" with Ter and North cuddling. Like who the fuck just moves their boyfriend out of their place and into yours without asking first 🤯. Those two things are the only major gripes I have with this show right now and I mostly just try to ignore them because Johan and North are still hella cute and I love that they are finally officially dating without drawing it out unnecessarily (looking at you, Hill and Ter).

🇯🇵 Miseinen: Mijukuna Oretachi wa Bukiyo ni Shinkochu Ep. 9 of 10 ----- Watching on: Gagaoolala

I'm not sure where they are heading and what Hirukawa is thinking with how he is acting but I've really enjoyed this show as a whole so I trust that it'll all make sense next week with the final episode.

🇹🇭 Perfect 10 Liners Ep. 11 of 24 ------- Watching on: Youtube

I really like Gun and Yotha as a pairing and I'm definitely invested in this show but it's not at the top of the list.

🇹🇭 Petrichor Ep. 6 of 10 ----------- Watching on: iQiYi

So many reveals this episode! This show is not quite the same level of brain-rot as Spare Me Your Mercy was for me but I'm having a good time and I'm invested in the story.

🇹🇭 Sangmin Dinneaw Ep. 2 of 8 ----------- Watching on: iQiYi

The first episode was promising and I'm always a fan of characters having sexual fantasies because it gives a good insight into the character's feelings, both because of the fantasy but also with how they react to it. Episode two made me feel more like I was watching a pulp drama and I'll admit that I'm not a big fan of the over the top acting of some of the characters which seems like those characters will keep being a part of the story going forward. It's just not a type of humor I find funny but so far it's not enough for me to drop this show. The trailer was steeped in it though so who knows how much of the show will focus on that kind of humor.

🇹🇼 See Your Love Ep. 12 of 13 ---- Watching on: Gagaoolala

These two are just the cutest and I'm enjoying them so much. The small touches and the casual kisses are so good and it makes them feel really real and like a good match in a way that not all BL couples do when we get to experience them after they get together. I love how Shaopeng's deafness is still a part of the plot but not in the sense that it needs to be fixed, it's just a natural part of him and it bleeds into all aspects of the plot in a really great way. Honestly this is just such a solid show! 10/10 would recommend. I'd just like for the episodes to be just 5-10 min longer so I could get more of the second couple.

🇹🇭 ThamePo Heart That Skips a Beat Ep. 4 of 13 -------- Watching on: Youtube

I'm still absolutely on board with this show. The plot of getting the band together feels a little simple but I really don't mind it because it works well with Thame and Poo getting to know each other. After this episode I wonder whether Jun actually believed what he said about Thame to Po. Like does he really believe that Thame isn't interested in Po or is he just trying to avoid them getting together? Either way it was so delicious to see Po start doubting himself but then Thame once again showing loudly with his actions that he is so interested in Po and that Po is a priority to him. Like who talks on the phone for hours, falls asleep still on the call and then just keeps being on the phone when you wake up again and then pretty much serenades the other person in the morning 🤯 Absolute bonkers behavior from Thame and I'm so here for it. This actually makes me wonder how self-aware Thame actually is? Does he know that he has feelings for Po? 

🇹🇭 The Boy Next World Ep. 1 of 10 ----------- Watching on: iQiYi

This is definitely a show where I needed to lower my expectations before watching the first episode because I've really been looking forward to this and I'd much rather set my expectations low and be happily surprise. I really liked the production quality of this show after the first episode and Boss and Noeul are doing really well. I'm definitely still excited about this show even if the first ep left me a little confused but I think that's to be expected when a show introduces concepts like parallel universes so I'm expecting that it'll make sense with time.

🇹🇭 Your Sky Ep. 8 of 12 ----------- Watching on: iQiYi

These two are so damn cute! This show just keeps being this little happy bubble for me. I'm glad they didn't drag out the misunderstanding so now they just gotta figure out how to bone. I like Real and Hia a lot as well but we don't really get enough of them for me to get completely invested. So far I'm not entirely sure what Hia thinks and feels because we've only really seen glimpses of Real realizing he has feelings for Hia. I'm guessing we'll get more of them while Fah and Rak figure out how to be a couple. 

That's it for this week!

Did we all notice that the final episode of Caged Again fully confirms that Jodd and Jeng are not animals and are actually humans?

in the last scene with the goddess, both Junior and Sun can see and talk to her. Jodd and Jeng can not and even have to be told where she is so they know what direction to face while they talk. it’s already been well established (by the goddess herself) that Junior and Sun can see her because they’re animals- and that normal humans can’t see or hear her. The conclusion, therefore, is that Jodd and Jeng are fully human :(

CAGED AGAIN Episode 4

[silverraes]

so. you're a penguin turned human and your newly acquired panther-turned-human boyfriend, a carnivore, just told you he has to fight off his instincts whenever he's around you because he kinda literally wants to eat you. do you

a) get freaked tf out by this bc. wth??

b) try to find a logical solution to this problem

or c) get kinda freaked out at first but figure you're both human now and he can't really eat you anyway

if you answered "d) none of the above - you are not only completely unbothered, but you also put on a penguin onesie and start acting all seductive to reawaken your boyfriend's instincts bc you figure you could use them to your advantage to fight off the poachers who are after you" congrats! you figured out an actual plot point in Thai BL Caged Again.

Panthers like it when they do this, right? I read about it in a book once.

Caged Again: The Best Gay Representation in Thai BL In a Long Ass Time.

Yes i said what i said. the penguin and panther turns human weird little fantasy show is doing right by the gays.

Nat and Ton played by real life soon to be legally married gay couple porsche and arm are so GAYYYYYY and not BL gay But GAY GAY. these two with their choice of pronouns they uses to calls each other, their demeanor, and words they uses radiated 2 old queens that has been loving each other for a long time.

That kitchen scene with its genuine earnesty of queer domestic life (which is not a surprising they're actually a real couple after all.) we had two queer animals turned kids whose lacking knowledge and understanding of human lives seeing and learning from two queer elders and seeing this is a life that they could have after years of longing to be humans feels very powerful and kind. and then this show reward/answer that scene with the queers kids first kiss. And by doing all that it make me feels like the show is telling a queer kid that might be watching this show that it's going be ok. and i found that to be very powerful and kind.

I've been fill with Feelling a lot lately cuase it is close to the month of marriage equality. and i'm very happy we got something like this counting down to that special month.

Oh one last thing, Porsch said "we were finding new place to outd..." before he got cut off by arm in the first scene where they met Junior and Sun. THAT SENTENCE BEFORE GETTING CUT OFF MEANT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS MY FELLOW DEGENERATES. IT WAS "OUTDOOR." THEY WHERE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO BE NASTY OUTSIDE AND I'M FUCKING LOVED IT!!!

"Can we be loners together, just the two of us?"

—CAGED AGAIN · Episode 08

[heretherebedork]

It's the comfort Junior offers to Sun out of nothing but the gentlest of worries and how Sun might struggle but has started to truly accept that love and tenderness.
