#Stand by Korean Drama

[iguessitsjustme]

No nuance. Choose.

(I am genuinely just curious. This is not a judegement on anyone. I just want to know where ql tumblr falls)

[ppeonppeonhan]

If I had a nickel for every time a young, poor, somewhat resistant or deeply uninterested guy had a rich zaddy beg to be his bf and give him everything he ever desires in the BL Universe, I'd be a billionaire.

Here are all the ones I've seen so far:

A Boss and a Babe (2023)

Love in the Air (2022) - Just added

Naughty Babe (2023)

Step by Step (2023)

Not a vast age difference, but same dynamic:

Bed Friend (2023)

Dangerous Romance (2023)

Deep Night (2023)

Jun & Jun (SK - 2023)

KinnPorsche (2022)

My Stand-In (2024)

Only Friends (2023)

Sunset x Vibes (2024)

To My Star 1 & 2 (2021 - 2022) - Just added

We Are (2024)

Wedding Plan (2023)

Why R U? (2020) - Just added

You Are Mine (TW - 2023)

2023 was truly the year of imbalanced power dynamics.

Am I forgetting any?

Best reaction ever to the bullying but also then...

No qualms. No mercy. This boy is perfectly comfortable in his own skin and willing to just do it to get someone to shut up and leave him alone.

Other news from the BL world

❗️ The production company Studio WabiSabi announced that their actors Boun N., Prem W., Santa P., Sammy C., Yacht P. and Stamp P. have terminated their contracts and will no longer be artists under the company on April 15th. Shortly after, GMMTV announced the 6 of them as newly signed artists, along with the disclosure that BounPrem's upcoming BL Vampire Project is now being produced under GMMTV, who now also own all broadcasting rights; WabiSabi will function as a co-producer. New S. stated on Twitter that the decisions had been long in the making, as well as the fact that WabiSabi no longer functions as a management agency for actors and is now a mere production company. He also denied the rumors that the company is shutting down. Shortly after the transfer of the Wabi Sabi actors, actor Fluke Jeeratch (formerly Pongsakorn) joined GMMTV as well.

According to ZUM News, there was supposed to be a Korean SKAM remake based on the Norwegian original, which was however cancelled due to unknown reasons. Fragile was created as a substitution.

Challenge: make a poll with five of your all time favourite characters, and then tag five people to do the same, and see which character is everyone's favourite.

I was tagged by @luthienmpl who should absolutely be watching My Stand In..

The characters I like are either ones I want to be BFFs with or ones I just find fascinating. I excuded currently airing series because I'm OBSESSED with them, otherwise the first 3 slots would be Dee, Yak and Kao from Wandee Goodday and the last 2 Ming and Joe from My Stand In.

I'm tagging some folks I haven't heard from for a while but feel free to ignore it! @placetneplacet @clairificusrex @gillianthecat @lutawolf @weekendatennuis

I would like to appreciate and honour my still persistent cold, which is why I present to you probably the most typical and very intimate act-of-service: You have a fever? Here, have something cool and you'll be fine tomorrow.
