1. Your all time favorite BL & why

Until We Meet Again. I just love it idk. The soul mates trope is not one I usually go for but they made it so unique what with the reincarnation, healing from generational trauma/homophobia, the fabulous friend groups and families, focus on consent and safe sex, two bi boys (one of which actually says he's bi), and so much more I'm forgetting. Like, this show had everything. It was incredible. It helps too that they emphasized soul mates are made, not found.

UWMA was also the first Thai BL I watched (that I also stumbled onto as it was airing) and my reintroduction into BL so it forever has a special place in my heart for that.

2. That one BL that scarred you for life

None?

I mean, there's stuff from way back in the day I'd love to forget but I don't remember the names of the series/movies or the full plots even. But like the general BYG, age gap, inc*st-y, r*pe kinda stuff that was in pretty much every BL manga/anime. :/

3. Is there any BL that made you feel single?

As an aro, I don't even know what "feeling single" means. Never had that experience in my life!

4. If you could change one thing from a BL, which would it be?

For miss Mame to not take over writing for ACTL and ruining TinCan!

5. That one BL you detest.

I don't "detest" any BL I've watched since getting back into the genre. And if I'm not enjoying my time with a BL, I'm dropping it. Rather not waste time on something I don't like.

6. Your Top 5

1. Until We Meet Again is always number one.

But the others, in no specific order: The Untamed (YES IT COUNTS), Sotus s1, I Told Sunset About You, and Color Rush. Although Not Me has had me in a chokehold since the mock trailer so I'm likely going to have to rearrange this later.

7. That trashy BL that you lowkey like

I'm gonna go with Tonhon Chonlatee. LISTEN. I know it's awful! But Khaotung and Podd really sold that shit! And ugh, RIP Mike & Toptap 🏳. We'll probably never know just wth happened between them.

8. Your favorite Korean BL

It's a toss up between Color Rush and Where Your Eyes Linger. Tbh I only didn't include WYEL on my Top 5 list because I needed to make room for ITSAY.

9. But also your top 3 for KBL

I've only watched three. So, the ones I just mentioned plus Mr. Heart. But I would not include Mr. Heart in my top 3. It was fine, just not for me.

(Would love some recs tho! As you can see from reading through this post, I'm into mostly that sad, slooooow burn type of shit w a happy ending.)

10. Season 2? Which one?

Eh, the only s2 of a BL I've watched and that I think surpassed s1 was Still2gether. But, I wouldn't say it's a favorite despite how much I liked it and how much I like Sarawat.

And I know some people hate it but I loooved Friend Zone s2, although that is not strictly a BL so... 🤷🏻‍♂️

11. A bunch of dramas will air soon, which ones are you the most excited for?

BETWEEN US, KinnPorsche

Also that new BL with Zee. Cutie Pie, that trailer did look kinda good 👀

From GMM 2022: Moonlight Chicken, Never Let Me Go, The Eclipse.

*And shout out to the GLs I wanna see too: Gap the series, The Girlfriend Planner.*

12. I tag

Look, I only follow like 60 ppl on this thing and that's how I like it. If you follow me and you watch BL consider yourself tagged.
