#Wandee Goodday ep 9

[tinycowboybro]

I thought this scene felt familiar…

x

[hughungrybear]

Uhm, excuse me, Dee. It's not like your approach was any better 😂

[aliceisathome]

Wandee Goodday - how do I love thee, let me count the ways...

Taem - the very opposite of the usual predatory mean girl

Dee - the sweetest dumbass doctor on the planet

Yoryak - the greenest of green flags

Kao - the acest ace BFF

Ter - the man we love to hate

Granny - the hip, cool ally

Anyone catch Ter in the background when they announced that Dee and Yak were the hottest dancing couple? Heh. Cannot believe he tried again after watching that dance but hey - it led to another punch in the face, Hooray. I did have The Fear when Dee let go of Yak's hand though but it was all OK and that was a lovely little speech about how Yak makes him feel so he's figured out he's in love with him right? Right? RIGHT DEE? Stop faffing around - this man's declared his love and even as fake faen he's performed above and beyond.

Kao! With tape over his nipples and fairy tale costumes! I died. The rest of this post is being typed by a zombie.

Oh hang on - no sex for 2 months? Suddenly I am not as happy as I was 5 minutes ago. Still the whole flirting montage was cute and I love that therapy was one of Dee's conditions. i also love that they're being kept apart in bed by the giant penis plushie (which, sadly, is not for pre-order on the GMMtv shop website - they're missing a trick there).

I also love that Ter tried to pick up with Kwan again and she's moved on. Die alone you creep.

I've caught Yak using ter but don't think Dee has yet Hope I'm wrong.

The fight! Taem's being the supportive sweetheart we know she is with Dee - who's wearing yellow for Yak. Good boy.

And he wins! And gets a reward! Well deserved but we cut away too quickly - where's our reward eh? GIVE US THE MERMEN PLAY SCENE WE DESERVE.

Next week's ep 10 looks like an ep 11 of Doom from the preview so I'm dreading what can be worse than repossession of the gym and the brothers fighting. It'll be Dee winning that bloody scholarship and having to go abroad won't it? Best result: let Dee win then decline it. Send Ter instead.

Wandee Goodday ep 9

This is so funny but I am again so sorry that Pod has to play such a patetic character

For a second there I was so anxious of what was Dee going to do

they are so funny THIS IS SO FUNNY

I was eating I almost choked when I saw Kao HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH have mercy

I am so glad this "flirting by the book" was just a small thingi that got resolved quickly and without drama

But Dee might have want to think it twice XD

Ter go on your kness and beg for her forgivness

oh myyyy ahahahhaha I am going to roll on my floor laughing if Luke is going to speak more

O FU

Oh oh tension

Oyei resentment is STRONG

THE PLUSHIE HAHHAHAHA

This is so wholesome

[projectjasper]

truly confused on this fine saturday evening as to which pre-existing conditions or relationship dynamics established the idea that yak must be the "pursuer" in this relationship and has to win dee over, but alright...

[negrowhat]

KWAN!? THE BATHTUB BOSS IS YOUR NEW MAN????

P'Golf is seriously giving me whiplash for using the same actors in Wandee Goodday and The Rebound.

Also if you haven't already...Go start P'Golf's newest series The Rebound over on GaGa...there's 2 eps out rn and it's already bananas.

[extremelybabygirl]

brace yourself ep 11 curse is coming 💀

WANDEE GOODDAY (2024) EP. 9

[itsallaboutbl]

Wandee Goodday, ep. 9

[absolutebl]

This Week in BL - In Which None of You Should be Surprised by a MAJOR Upset in the Standings

Sorry this is so late. I had a pretty epic series of delays landing me at NRT for like 18 hours or something ridiculous. To be fair there are much worse airports to be stranded at.

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

June 2024 Week 4

Ongoing Series - Thai

The Rebound (Weds Gaga) ep 1 of 12 - Fuck all ya'all if you thought I had taste. MeenPing are topping this damn list because... have you any idea how LONG I have been waiting for a real sports centered BL starring at least one boy who actually played the flipping sport? My whole damn life. You ready for me to go into euphoric splooges all over your screens? I don't think you are. SUFFER! And now some splooging:

It’s off to a great start. Thank you, Rebound, for being exactly what I wanted. By which I mean Meen has his shirt off literally in the first two minutes of the show. Also it’s a bit of a childhood sweethearts reunion romance. There’s nothing wrong with this beginning. Fantastic. For a change, I even enjoy the intro music. Golf is directing MeenPing this time, so maybe something magical will happen. Frank is aging so pretty!!! How nice for all of us. Even the bb play is good. It’s a proper sports BL. I’m so damn happy right now. 

Wandee Goodday (Sat YT) ep 9 of 12 - I’m so tired of Ter, but everything else was lovely. Also they are SUCH boyfriends. 

Sunset X Vibes (Sat iQIYI) ep 3 of 12 - They are so cute in these roles. I don’t know why, I just like their vibe better here than in the previous show. (And I really enjoyed Big Dragon at the start.) This show is a lot more classic romance and kind of pat because of that. I do hope the ingénue character gets some kind of additional development and talent. But even if it stays mundane, these two have the chemistry to carry it. So I suspect I’ll keep enjoying it regardless. I am mildly intrigued by the spice of the PNR element, so I hope they run with that a bit more. I suspect they will have to, to extend the plot for 12 eps.

My Stand-In (Fri iQIYI) ep 10 of 12 - Ah Ming... famous last words. This one just makes me sigh a lot and whimper sadly. I don’t know where they’re going with this plot or how they’re gonna resolve it. Joe finally being the asshole Ming deserves is a lot of fun though (double entendre intended). I’m scared but it did make me cry... a lot. (That's fine, I'm a sap.)  

Imma say this because no one else has. Wardrobe is unilaterally terrible in this show. I mean Thailand is notoriously bad in general but this show, nash.

We Are Cute (Weds iQIYI) ep 13 of 16 - They are so fucking adorable. And so flirty! Also a crying kiss? My favorite! Chain’s little moment of "Cupid shoot thyself" was epic. ("Physician heal thyself" but for the BL world?) Honestly, I could watch a whole show about these two...

The Trainee (Sun YouTube) ep 1 of 12 - How does Gun still look like he’s just out of high school? Madness. Does the set for the print shop that he’s working in at the beginning remind anybody else of Mork’s dad’s place in ‘Cause He’s My Boy? I swear GMMTV has about 3 sets they rotate through.

To be brutally honest, I was not looking forward to the show at all. No idea why. OffGun aren’t my most favorite OG pair, but I respect them for their longevity, optics, acting shops, and enduring brand. Maybe I just needed more of a gap from Cooking Crush?

Whatever, I was absolutely riveted by this first episode. I’m enjoying The Trainee a lot. Like, a lot a lot.

My Love Mix-Up Th (Fri YT) ep 4 of 12 - This version did the "clear up of the inciting miscommunication" in such a sweet achey way. Frankly that "ache of first love" really plays to G4's strengths as a pair. This was a good ep and I’m now starting to enjoy this one for its own sake and get some distance from the JBL version. It's just there is A LOT of good stuff coming out of Thailand right now.

Love Sea (Sun iQIYI) ep 3 of 10 - I was inspired to write a Shakespearean style sonnet in this week's trash watch. Mame seems to believe that no character can have depth without suffering. And I found this episode both boring and rushed at the same time. Trash watch here. (This week's trash watch also VERY delayed.)

Knock Knock Boys (Thurs Gaga) ep 6 of 12 - It’s eminently missable... so I missed it this week in order to get this weekly update out. Next week will be a two in one. 

Only Boo! (Sun YT) ep 12fin - Okay, that’s it, I guess?

Summary:

An idol romance about a sunshine boy who dances good and wants to be a star and a reserved food stand vendor. Other side of the tracks, grumpy/sunshine pair who fall in love but, of course, to be an idol baby boy can't date. It wasn’t particularly bad, it wasn’t particularly good either. 7/10

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

I Hear the Sunspot AKA Hidamari ga Kikoeru (Japan Weds Gaga) Ep 1 of 10 - A new series adaptation of beloved yaoi I Hear the Sunspot (first adaptation was feature film Silhouette of Your Voice 2017).

I expected the soundscapes in this one to be fantastic, but I didn’t expect the filming to be something special too. But it really is. I’m not gonna lie, I'm nervous about this show because I love the manga and was disappointed by the film, but we were off to a really good start. First names already? So cute. I love them.

Takara's Treasure AKA Takara No Vidro (Japan Mon Gaga) ep 1 of 10 - Shy awkward Taishin goes to a Tokyo university in order to reunite with Takara, a stranger who consoled him over the loss of a parrot the year prior. He finally gets a chance to express his gratitude but is given the cold shoulder. (My thoughts this weekend's round up)

I can't believe Japan is holding it down for the non Thai BL. I mean to say.... JAPAN!!! What alt reality are we living in? It being Japan, I'm scared of the ending.

It's airing but...

Blue Boys is still going on and I'm still enjoying it (despite the cheating) but I don't know when it drops or where it's going, so I will report in at the end. When they tell me it's ended.

The Last Time (Thai Fri YT?) - Convoluted story of loss and possible reincarnation or something. Can't find it.

OMG Vampire (Thai Sun ???) 10 eps - I've put the search on hold for and y'all can let me know if it's worth tracking down once it ends?

In case you missed it

The Time of Fever AKA Unintentional Love Story 2 (Korea movie) trailer released to Korean theaters 5/25. HoTae & DongHee, side couple from Unintentional Love Story are back! Same actors, same character names. I love them. Devastated this hasn't had international distribution. I demand you tell me the moment you find it!

Next Week Looks Like This:

NO IMG - we half way through this week already - sorry.

Upcoming BLs for 2024 are listed here. This list is not kept updated, so please leave a comment if you know something new or RP with additions.

July Releases to Come

7/5 This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans (Thai iQIYI) - trailer here, The PittBabe team behind a new restaurant set BL full of hidden agendas and starring my new favorites SailubPon. Delightful!

7/10 Century of Love (Thai Gaga) 10 eps - trailer here, DaouOffroad are back, this time as fated mates in a quasi historical paranormal moment. San has spent many lifetimes waiting for his lost beloved, to reincarnate from her death a century ago. But if he fails to find her within this century's time window, he will succumb to a tragic death. And this time she's a boy. Very much Director Who Buys Me Dinner meets First Love Again, hopefully better than both. I love this pair and think they can handle the premise, it's whether the storytelling is up to the challenge. I'm curious to see but I have reservations.

7/26 4 Minutes (Thai Netflix or iQIYI?) - Great is a university student from Faculty of Business and the son of a wealthy business owner. Out of the blue, he gains the supernatural power to see four minutes into the future.

7/29 Battle of the Writers (Thai ????) - trailer here, TutorYim return and while I adore them, I really hope this is better than Middleman's Love. Won't be hard. However: that premise! Ugh. Something something authors fighting - save me. Why don't writers understand that nothing is more boring than writers?

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

Defining @heretherebedork 's favorite endearment of "tiny idiot."

I love him. I also love what a class act they both were about this turn down. Thailand shows Korea how to handle a love triangle by NOT HAVING ONE.

Both We Are.

We stand a lap sit on this blog, but I think this is my first lap spin! I adored it! (Sunset X Vibes)

It's fun to watch them follow the original narrative but with these cute little Thai twists. Sometimes these are shifted for language reasons, sometimes for cultural, and sometimes I think just to draw a clear distinction from the JBL. I'm not mad about any of it. (My Love Mix Up)

Not just for you, honey. Truer words were never spoken. Yak is the biggest green flag ever to walk BL's verdant earth.

Linguistic corner!

I love this way of putting the translation. Usually, in Thai, the phrase used means "he's my happiness" (sounds like: kwamsook). To use sabai is different. Sabai more ubiquitous (sabai is one of the most commonly used phrases in Thailand) but also so different from the usual phrase we hear in ThBL at this moment. Thus, this execution is special, particularly from a doctor. I'm not quite sure how to put it but sabai can also be translated as feeling well, as in, not ill. So there is a way of looking at Wandee saying Yak is both his peace of mind and good for his health and well being.

(Last week)

Streaming services are listed by how I (usually) watch, which is with a USA based IP, and often offset by a day because time zones are a pain.

The tag BLigade: @doorajar @solitaryandwandering @my-rose-tinted-glasses @babymbbatinygirl @babymbbatinygirl @isisanna-blog @mmastertheone @pickletrip @aliceisathome @urikawa-miyuki @tokillamonger @sunflower-positiiivity @rocketturtle4 @blglplus @anythinggoesintheshire @everlightly @renafire @mestizashinrin @bl-bam-beyond @small-dark-and-delicious @saezurumurmurs

Sigh, Tumblr in it's infinite wisdom doesn't like too many tags.

There's these tricks, remember.

[hughungrybear]

Me all throughout Ter's spiel: Please somebody punch him. Please, please, please, please. 😡

Me after Yak punched Ter's face (again): Dee, please just slap some sense into Ter. Please, please, please. 🤬🤬🤬

Me after Dee declares that he chooses Yak over Ter: Oh, this is much, much better wake up call to Ter than a slap could ever give 🤭😄

My Stand In. Ep. 9. Body. Right. If Tong fucks about with Joe this ep I am flying to Thailand to knee him in the nuts. Yes, I'm old enough to be his mother but we all know Joe has to do all his physical scenes and I'm a scrapper so I reckon I'm in with a good chance.

Going in...

Much like Joe, I had a faint hope that his original body was laying in a coma somewhere, that lovely, original face waiting to be awakened with a kiss like a Disney princess.

OK Sol, you're getting annoying now. Step back dude. Let Wut say what he was going to say because yes, Ming felt guilt but he'd also realised he loved Joe. He kept everything as it was for love's sake.

WTF is Sol wearing? Please don't let that tank top become part of the communal Thai BL wardrobe.

'no one should ever have to go to his own funeral' says Wut to which I say that, if anything, that's the one thing everyone does do. Not while conscious though I suppose.

MING! What an entrance at the press conference. Outstanding.

And boss man is basically a pimp. Grim (yet realistic).

Ooh hello Bangkok Station. Good place for a climactic scene.

Joe, my poor boy, it's still eating at him that Ming only had sex with him from behind to imagine it was Tong. He's said it a couple of times now. At least Joe now knows what a dumbass Ming is for not realising until recently that it was Joe's back he'd been in love with all along.

Looks like we'll be getting some face-to-face action next week but until he lets Joe top I'm not sure he'll be fully forgiven. And Tong! That bastard. Nice to see Ming's murderous look directed that way for once - here's hoping this will be the start of his downfall and ruin. Seens that he owes the wrong sort of people money. What a shame.

[projectjasper]

which steps? which ones? you've literally basically been dating this whole fucking time, what steps are you talking about? i am about to step off a fucking ledge.

[negrowhat]

Okay...I love Sasaki! He would be a great asset to the team too. He and Yoryak would be an unstoppable duo and then Yoryak could go back to his OG weight class.
