It's your birthday present. Happy birthday.

—ABSOLUTE ZERO Episode 1

[waitmyturtles]

Absolute Zero, episode 1 RANDOM THOUGHTS (more like FEELS and SQUEALS and HAPPY PIPS, here we go):

1) New Siwaj's latest prestige BL. Man, we've had some dips from him lately. I FAST-fast-forwarded through Between Us to get to the DeanPharm bits, and listen, I shoulda just listened to my friends (insert the Bugs Bunny "NO" gif here). And I have a pathetic love for Double Savage, a show that New Siwaj screenwrote and that aired earlier this year, for its POTENTIAL to tell an intergenerational familial trauma story headed by OhmPerth, but lord, it was a mess. At the same time, I have been impaled with a thirsty obsession over my watch and rewatch of New's Until We Meet Again, so with New going high for this latest show -- I have BIG expectations.

2) @bengiyo and @twig-tea (here and here) covered a TON of what I am thinking (and apologies to friends if you wrote AZ things yesterday and I missed them -- like @bengiyo, I would love to be tagged in your meta to track thoughts on this show!) (I think @troubled-mind is getting into this one, maybe we already have a little AZ squad going!). Further apologies and big ups to Ben and Twig if I repeat anything you say! Which I will, right now, repeating Ben's words:

3) FUCK if I didn't feel some nostalgia hearing Boy Sompob's voice again. I really do feel like this means that New is THROWING. DOWN. The music in this show is already fantastic. The music was SO IMPORTANT to the storytelling in UWMA, and I'm glad we're leading with it again here.

4) I am VERY PLEASED to see Mix Wanut (young Suansoon) holding down as a lead. We didn't see him too much as Don in UWMA, but: I thought his timing and comedy was particularly notable in UWMA (when Don was able to lighten up a bit near Dean, I thought it was really great).

5) Speaking of the actors. I'd like everyone to know (poor @neuroticbookworm and @lurkingshan have already heard me yelp on this). Teng Kanist, who plays the older Suansoon. He was fabulous as Nat in Gay OK Bangkok. Nat was a contradictory character, but let me be honest -- I felt a little symp for Nat because I like Teng's face. I admit it, I'm weak and transparent for dudes.

BUT: we all need to know that Teng Kanist IS ALSO A REAL-LIFE PASTRY CHEF who also GOES TO THE GYM. Therefore, we have a perfect man (for me lol) in our midst. Just need everyone to know! Croissants and abs and sets. SOLD!

6) Ahem, where was I. As an #old, seeing middle-aged dudes in a drama is what I need. I like that Absolute Zero is going to do this for us: to juxtapose the expected BL school scenes with two real adults in real adult settings. I love this. And I love that I know we are going to get more elders next week in What Did You Eat Yesterday?, and elder-ishes very soon in Cherry Magic Thailand and Cooking Crush. We need to age-diversify this field, and New is leading this season.

7) I love how fast we needed to get to young Suansoon and young Ongsa getting together. From the MDL description of the show, it looks like Absolute Zero may have a similar structure to UWMA. UWMA was like a three-part series: the first part being Dean and Pharm getting together; the second being their discovering their spiritual pasts through their shared inherited memories and meeting their families; and the third being the conclusion with their resolving Korn and Intouch's forced separation at death.

If Absolute Zero follows a similar structure in a shorter episode span (right now, MDL shows AZ having 12 episodes, as compared to UWMA's 17 episodes), then I understand AZ needing to be a bit chop-chop about the romance. But I felt that this episode was still perfectly paced, and yes -- dropping the faen in the first episode could seem a touch fast, but I felt that we had convincingly spent intentional time with Suansoon's loneliness to understand why he would have said yes to Ongsa. (And, anyway -- of course, we needed to know that they got together, because we time-jumped to their loving adult relationship.)

And I loved young Ongsa's approach. A guy looking and chasing after his crush. The romance of buying tickets to a movie, hoping the guy he likes will show up. Giving Suansoon a birthday bracelet at the movie. Holding Suansoon's hand and asking him the big question.

Man.... ahhhh. What I loved about that bracelet scene is that -- the gift of that bracelet did a lot of the communicating from Ongsa to Suansoon without words. Suansoon was clearly touched and moved. The loss of his parents shakes him, but he clearly got a lovely moment of connection from that gift. Mix acted that part beautifully.

8) The Love of Siam. What can I fucking say. I haven't seen My Only 12%, where I know New makes another significant reference to LoS there. But, just. I'm very glad @bengiyo insisted on LoS being the start of the Old GMMTV Challenge, in part because of the references to LoS in other Thai BLs over the course of the genre's short history, but also -- the tragedy of that movie communicates SO MUCH when it is present as a reference in another piece. Just like the bracelet communicates so much by way of love. I love that we got to see the pre-ending credits quote. I love that New's communicating to us through this brilliant movie.

I am sure I can find more to gush on, but let me stop here, because this got longer than I expected. I can't manage a full load of dramas, so I'll likely be dropping my thirst-watch of Dangerous Romance to accommodate AZ and WDYEY. Just like I am praying for Tee Bundit to not drop the ball on I Feel You Linger in the Air -- let us hope New can also keep the juggle up on AZ. He started this out STRONG. I HAVE HIGH HOPES.

ABSOLUTE ZERO (2023, THAILAND)

Episode 7 of 12

As the adult Suansoon returned to the future leaving behind the young Ongsa (SUPAKORN WUTTINANSURASIT aka TOR) and Ongsa is devastated but the future has changed as Ongsa is no longer there at least not in older Suansoon's life.

Has Suansoon's trip to the past worked since Ongsa isn't in Suansoon's life and not in the hospital.

However Young Ongsa can't shake his loneliness and missing the older Suansoon that he remembers Suansoon is still in his world. As a teen just like him and he sets out to find him. And he does at the movie theater.

Ignoring older Suansoon's warnings Ongsa begins a conversation with young Suansoon (WANUT SANGTIANPRAPAI aka MIX) and becomes his boyfriend anyway. Young Ongsa and Young Suansoon share their first kiss during a sleepover.

Once asleep Young Suansoon has a nightmare that is also affecting older Suansoon. As Young Ongsa wakes up Young Suansoon and comforts him. Older Suansoon wakes up alone.

When will older Ongsa return to older Suansoon now that teenaged versions have gotten together?

Hiii Jane. I'm late as ever but if you're still doing the bl ask game I'd like to know more about 14, 21 and 25 🌈😊

Hiii Maxine! 💜 No worries & thank you so so much!

⭐ bl you think is underrated

I feel like pretty much every BL that isn't by a bigger production company is underrated among interfans - simply because people don't know it exists. Triage and Dear Doctor, I'm Coming for Soul or Something in my Room definitely fall into that category but they were really difficult to watch when they first aired and it's such a pity. 😔

⭐ favorite newcomer

Tor Supakorn isn't really a newcomer (he had a support role in 7 Project before) but his performance as Ongsa in Absolute Zero (his first main role) is incredibly strong.

And despite Venus in the Sky's many issues, Cheque Wacharawee (and Tod Panapong but he's not a newcomer - that poor man survived What the Duck) is who kept me watching. Sky was by far the more charismatic and approachable character, and Cheque would have probably done better under a more hands-on director with a less drawn-out script, but for an absolute newcomer who had to perform very difficult and intimate scenes he did really well.

Too bad 9naa probably caused him to burn out and withdraw from all future roles. :(

⭐ favorite friends

The friends group in Nitiman was something else. I love them all but who even were they? Where did they come from? Did everyone even keep track on who is who after the two friend groups mingled? Were they aware there's two guys named Ultra and U and they potentially had something going on? Did everyone have something going on or was that just Kaohnaw and Turbo desperately trying to sell their ship? Oh, and then there's this:

No other show will ever manage to surpass this entanglement of boys. This bed holds like, half a dozen of them - not to mention poor Keam third-(fifth? eighth??)wheeling in the front. Amazing.

Absolute Zero, episode 2: I've spent the past 40 minutes trying to figure out what to write, which means this will be short, but how can I best put into words the feelings that this show is conjuring for me? As of right now, only two episodes in: this show is crisp, it's MOVING in its DELIBERATE pace, and it is playing with a LOT.

Adult Suansoon has moved to the past, and is connecting with teen Ongsa, which means age gap, and damn it if it's not being recognized and handled with GRACE by young and old alike in teen Ongsa's community -- including by Nan, the ultimate coffee auntie played by SINE INTHIRA, HELLO GODDESS.

And, just. Krist Teng Kanist's ACTING here. He is just, whoa. Adult Suansoon's gotta make some decisions about figuring out WHY he moved to the past, while adult Ongsa recovers from his terrible accident, all while adult Suansoon is just ENJOYING the moments he's getting with teen Ongsa, meeting teen Ongsa's friends, enjoying the life moments he's sharing in teen Ongsa's life with Nan, how teen Ongsa shows his caring side for adult Suansoon.

How Krist Teng is allowing his adult Suansoon to take his time in thinking about the move he needs to make to change the past for a better future. This show is giving him the room to start making some huge decisions, and in this episode, we got to learn a lot about adult Suansoon's emotional pacing, which will clearly be valuable information moving forward.

I took a note during the episode about what he means that Suansoon has spent the majority of his life parentless -- and how that will play into his decision, whatever that decision is, to mess with the past. I am wondering in the back of my head if Suansoon has, say, a fatalistic assumption that he will always end up alone. But -- would Ongsa's love, either from the past and/or the present, infiltrate to keep that from happening? I wonder. But I'm clocking this.

We have good BL elders in this show. Sine, Um Apsari (Pete's mom from Love By Chance), Tom Phollawat (Loong Krit, Korn's brother, from Until We Meet Again; Pear's dad from Be My Favorite).

But, man -- is Krist Teng ever mounting a comeback here. I didn't know that Nat from Gay OK Bangkok had this in him, but what an EVOCATIVE performance in this episode, managing everything from time travel to a dalliance in age gap, with attention and intention. This episode was so quiet and so huge. And WHOA -- just BEAUTIFUL to look at, exquisite filming. New Siwaj is just damn spoiling us.

Absolute Zero EP12 (episodio final)

Y pues hemos llegado al final de esta hermosa serie, y la verdad es que incluso en el ultimo capítulo lloré, pero al menos fue de felicidad, voy a extrañar mucho esta serie realmente esta hermosa, todos los personajes son increíbles y todos los actores hicieron un excelente trabajo, el OST es una hermosura y cantando por Boy Sompob pues aún mejor, definitivamente entra en mi top de series favoritas y claro que la veré en más de una ocasión...

[invisiblegarters]

Catching up on Absolute Zero and I have to say Tor Supakorn is just phenomenal as young!Ongsa. Just amazing, a good 80% of why I love this show. I am infinitely more engaged when he's onscreen than not.

[lgbtally4ever]

@superboys4you

In another post, I gushed over Tor’s acting ability. I think he’s a, frickin,’ amazing actor, and not just in the bl realm! He really moved me. Numerous times. His acting is very natural and real.

ABSOLUTE ZERO WAS ABSOLUTELY CHARMING

This time-travel/romance is intricate, sometimes confusing, a bit problematic, at times, but very well-done.

In the long run, I enjoyed it.

Absolute Zero (2023, THAILAND)

Premiere Episode September 27th

From: STUDIO WABI SABI (UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, MY ONLY 12%, BETWEEN US to name a few)

Episode 1 gave me MAKE OUR DAYS COUNT vibes. A young man dealt a bad hand at an early age. Hard working and lonely only to still lose in the end.

But I'm not giving up...not just yet.

Suansoon (WANUT SANGTIANPRAPAI aka MIX) is a high school boy living alone having lost his mother. At the cemetery he remembers her and mourns her.

But his loneliness is coming to an end as he goes to watch a movie and he meets a boy that immediately intrigued him. His name is Ongsa (SUPAKORN WUTTINANSURASIT aka TOR)

Ongsa is very interested in Suansoon. That's clear. But what is in store for these two? We know an accident is set to happen.
