Great Sapol has come a long way from his supporting role days, clocking in 3 lead roles this year:

Wandee Goodday

Start-Up (remake of the hit Kdrama)

Beauty Newbie (remake of the kdrama My ID is Gangam Beauty)

I feel like it was just yesterday we were thirsting after Inspector M (Manner of Death).

Family By Choice. Episode One.

I hope this drama knows I need zero redemption arc for San Ha’s Mom. I want to loathe her just like I do in Go Ahead

They did it. The madmen really did it. @absolutebl ... They did it.

Why R U officially has an actual Korean remake and I don't even know what to think, do or say. They did it. This is a real thing.

🚜LOVE TRACTOR - EP.5

School 2013 is still so powerful. It’s so rare that dramas let protagonists actually make such serious life altering mistakes that they can never make up for. There’s no excuse and no justification and no way to ever really make amends. Nam Soon just did an awful thing and he has to live with that forever.

Men in Love (2024) / A Gentleman's Dignity (2012).

- This is a special kind of fate between us, right? - Fate, my foot!

yes there is a live action queer alpha/alpha omegaverse racing tv show with a power bottom from thailand. no this is not goncharov 2.

it’s called pit babe. you can watch it on youtube, and if it’s not available in your region you can watch it on iqiyi (although you’ll need a vip subscription). you can also pirate it on sites like dramacool.

Heyo since I've deleted my twt account and basically am only ever on Tumblr or discord I decided to start a discord server with my bsf to meet ppl in my fave fandoms(or any fandom). It's a private multifandom 18+server with great safety. It's 18+ bc I am an adult looking for adult friends but it is nsfw and proship friendly if anyone wants a space to meet new ppl and share pls drop me a DM

I don't know what unleashed this school 2013 posting but I appreciate it so much. would love to hear your thoughts on it!

Good morning, anon! I just finished a quasi-rewatch of School 2013 (quasi because I had watched most of it before but for reasons having nothing to do with the show never finished it) and my god does it hold up. What an incredible drama, and one that absolutely should not be remade by people who don't understand its themes or take it seriously. *glares at GMMTV*

I was literally just telling @neuroticbookworm and @twig-tea last night that I didn't plan to write about it because this drama is 11 years old and very dearly beloved, so it didn't need another essay from me. But since you asked, I will share a few things that make it so special:

It really understands the function a school plays in a community, how important teachers can be in a young person's life, and the often disheartening limits of what teachers can do.

It treats platonic friendship, and the pain of losing a dear friend who is your family, with the utmost seriousness. Despite what some atrociously titled remakes would have you believe, the arc between Go Nam Soon and Park Heung Soo is not a story about "frenemies." It's a story about best friends and chosen brothers trying desperately to heal from a deep fracture between them.

It really cares about every young person in its story, takes their struggles seriously, and gives them chances to redeem themselves when they make mistakes. This drama believes that every kid, even those who have engaged in violence and bullied others, are worth the effort and can be redeemed.

But it also acknowledges that not everything can be fixed and not every kid with a hard life can be saved. It's gut-wrenching, but it's real, and the failures make the triumphs of the story resonate that much more.

It manages to write so many compelling and deep relationships without ever giving in to the impulse to turn them romantic. There is not a single romance plot in this drama and yet it has some of the best relationships I've ever seen on my screen.

It has a phenomenal cast. Lee Jung Suk and Kim Woo Bin are the obvious standouts, and this show absolutely would not work without them and their unreal platonic chemistry at the center. But it also has Jang Nara and Choi Daniel as our beloved teachers and a cast of very talented young actors playing students (a couple of which would go on to be drama headliners themselves). Even the green actors in the cast lent to the authentic feel of the classroom.

If you haven't watched this one yet (and enjoy crying buckets), I highly recommend putting it on your list and definitely watching the original instead of any imitators. And if you have watched it before, I am happy to report that it holds up spectacularly.
