Hi! I have a quick question and I hope u can help me: I wanted to watch "Love Mechanics" but I found out there's other shows related to it which where released in 2020 (En of Love: Love Mechanics, En of Love: this is Love story, and En of Love: TOSSARA). Do I have to watch these shows to understand "Love Mechanics"? I'm hella confused bc the premise for two of 'em seems the same one??

OK, have a nice day/night! _(:3 」∠ )_ (luv ur blog btw)

Hi hi.

No you do not have to watch the original En of Love trilogy before Love Mechanics. 

En of Love: Love Mechanics is part 2 of 3 in a linked sampler box style BL, like Y-Destiny. Those, maybe should be watched in order, but even there you don't have to. 

En of Love: TOSSARA

En of Love: Love Mechanics

En of Love: this is Love story

They are all on YouTube and maybe Viki or GaGa or both these days. 

Like ToruFirst from Y-Destiny, YinWar came out of EoL: Love Mechanics as the highest heat couple with by far the best chemistry. They were the ones everyone wanted to see more of. They’ve co branded since then doing variety shows and getting sponsor and modeling gigs pretty consistently. They have a polite calm relationship with each other, very much like KimCop (Gen Y). 

Love Mechanics the currently airing series is both a retelling and an expansion on the original shorter installment. They are also pushing the heat levels more in this one. These two do messy gay very very well, there is a lot of drama and angst and cheating and stuff. 

So far, I think the original is actually better, but YinWar are great either way.

They also appear together in high school sweet pining romance The Best Story (sad ending), and War had a few earl early BL shorts without Yin.

BL ~ Drama Asks

I was tagged by @wanderlust-in-my-soul !!! thank you sm for this... it's been a long time... but i'm back! happy to be here and share my thoughts ✩

If you had to watch one drama forever what would it be?

I have three series in mind! I Told Sunset About You, Light On Me and Gaya Sa Pelikula. However, i'm choosing the latter one because i cried many times with it and that show gives me a nostalgic/warm vibe, i feel at home watching it. Also... such a good soundtrack, i have many of the songs they used in my playlist <3

2. If you could change the ending of a drama which one would it be?

Lovely Writer: i remember being so pissed with that ending, especially with what they did to Aoey. The potential of that character so wasted, Aoey for me was so complex.... they humanized one second and then, in a blink of an eye, they made him a villain. Anyways, i can rant forever about this, there's still some posts about it in my blog if u search for it so yeah...

3. Name your favorite drama and tell who your favorite character was.

Light On Me: i wanted to say itsay but- yeah, i have more of a connection with LOM. My favorite character... of course is the main protagonist Taekyung! he really represents me and i adore him to death fr.

4. Name a drama you dropped within the first few episodes ~ we all have at least one!

Usually i don't drop dramas, and when I do, I barely remember them. Kissable Lips, My Oxygen and That's My Candy (i want to watch this one tho, for KimCop only)

5. Name a popular drama you've never watched and why?

SOTUS: eh, i'm not a big fan of the actors. TharnType (no need for explanation) and Love By Chance. Personally, i think both these series have some content i would not be able to handle.

6. Name a drama you regret watching.

Theory of Love: I think this is controversial, nothing wrong with liking the show, but for me, it was pure torture. It felt like watching the most toxic relationship ever in a constant cycle of despair... the side couples didn't make it any better.

7. Name a drama you thought you’d never watch but did and did you end up liking it?

Gen Y: it's crazy how this series made me laugh and i enjoyed every second. It wasn't perfect in any way, but bc i didn't take it so seriously, i was surprised... light romance (kimcop my beloved), pure comedy, sometimes being truly absurd, but yep! i loved it!

8. Name a pairing you want to see?

Mmmm, this one is hard but i guess ToddBlack? come on... they deserved each other, it was meant to be!! lol

9. Name a pairing you didn’t think had chemistry?

Bohn and Duen from My Enginner... even the side couples were better, wayyyy better.

10. Name a pairing you have seen in another drama that you like?

Mmmm i don't understand this question well but.... KimCop in Gen Y and in Close Friend 2(?). Also... I'm hoping for more Zeenunew series <3 so i want to see them in other dramas (i'm begging here)

Welp! that's it! Idk who to tag? @loveable-sea-lemon @fatal-journey @nevermiind @khunvegas @chordassinationtechnique

Feel free to ignore... it seems a lot of people here has changed their @'s so It's a bit hard to recognize everyone TT, but consider yourself tagged if u want to do it!

I love 2Moons2!!! the characters have a better dynamic than in the OG in my opinion and the Phana character is somehow more likable lol. Also I wasn't really a fan of MingKit in the OG but I'm super excited for their remake version as I like their characters more. I love it!!!

I love it too!! A lot better than the og for now, actually. I do think the dynamic is better. Phana is not a really likable character until you get to see how soft he becomes for Wayo, at least that’s when I started to really like him as a character in the og. I do think PhaYo chemistry is great in this version too.

As for MingKit, this blog actually started as a somehow MingKit blog :)) (before being m34ns I was ming-kitty) I will certainly miss KimCop as MingKit, but I am so so excited for this version of MingKit because, as you said, I like the way they play the characters a lot more (and I’m tbh ready to accept that I will like this version more than KimCop’s version).

[sluttynewwiee]

when you first followed my main blog i was like : ‘ wow , really ? i have so much shit here , and a bl blog still followed me ? they must be such a nice person ! ‘ then , you were one of the first people to follow bl-phillip after i made it , and i was like : ‘ that’s it ! my soul is sold to mingkit-kimcop ! i owe them my whole life ! ‘ and now you’re literally one of the nicest , bestest people i know ! you have a great blog , and i see you lots in my notifications , which thank you ! angel 😇

awwww phillip bless you! you have a great blog (and now two great ones!) and tbh me following both has nothing to do with me being nice, but you being someone that’s really lovely and funny and open so ofc i follow you! thank you for always being super kind to me!

[panlyv]

Hey! I haven't watched 2moons but I love your mingkit gifs!! Just wanted to let u know :)

anon. how DARE you come to MY BLOG and into MY INBOX and make my heart MELT like this. please this ask just made me so happy 🥺🥺 thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to come here and tell me this, truly 😭😭🥰🥰🥰 and i recommend you to watch 2moons2!! but tbh only mingkit and forthbeam lmao phayo is just. Boring. but you can give them a try, each with their own taste, maybe you'll enjoy them better than i did! (and if you do like them, you can check out the first season because their story is way more developed and they have proper screentime to show us their growth there since 2m2 was supposed to be solely mingkit's (with little about the other couples) but because of the cast change... u kno (tho g*dt is :// but bas makes up for him hsjdjd) and kimcop IS the death of me till this day 😭 they were so perfect for mingkit and yea i do love j9 but GOD do i wish we had seen their mingkit)

This Week in BL

March 2021 Part 4

Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs. 

This is a LONG ONE, it’s been A WEEK everyone. 

Ongoing Series - Thai

Lovely Writer Ep 5 - a little slow this week, but at least Gene finally flirted back, and very cute flirting it was, too. Also we got Aey’s motivation, background, and love interest. Thank goodness for that. 

Brothers Ep 8 - still pants, what can I say? Clearly I am a BL masochist. Very embarrassing for everyone concerned. 

1000 Stars Ep 9 - the conflict over Tian’s father was REALLY well done. The plot of this drama is excellent, the leads are great together, and yes I totally cried. What, you didn’t? 

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Word of Honor (China) Ep 16-18 - big battle fighty fighty stabby stabby. Ep 17 switches to “this drama isn’t big enough for two chaotic-neutral godlings!” So what do they do? Drink together and bicker... A LOT. Then in Ep 18 we all get the dubious joy of really freaky puppets. (I HATE puppets.) Also how is China letting this be so SO VERY VERY GAY?  Also, I wanna walk through the forest wearing a smanshy purple robe and waving a big fuck-off white fan around simply because I’m a pretentious fuss monger. And frankly, I feel like this is an achievable life goal for me. 

We Best Love 2 (Taiwan) Ep 4 - not gonna lie, this is looking to be one of my top 3 BLs of 2021. It’s SO GOOD. Big bonus to this ep for treating stalker behavior like the mental illness it is and not as some dumb representation of enduring love. 

The Most Peaceful Place is My Place (Vietnam) Ep 1 - finally dropped (find it under NƠI BÌNH YÊN NHẤT LÀ VỀ BÊN EM on O2′s channel). It’s got actors already comfortable with BL and looks pretty good so far. An angry tsundere uke reunited with his ex, a stoic chef, giving us lots of snap, crackle, and pop out the gate. 

Dear Uranus (Taiwan GL) Ep 2 - I want to love it, but it is just moving too fast. There’s not enough character dev and then they’re throwing flashbacks in? It feels like a treatment rather than a show, and a rushed treatment at that. Bummer. 

HIStory 4: Close To You (Taiwan) Ep 2 (AKA Ep 3-4) - let the cheesy popcorn continue! Idiot remains an idiot; ingenue remains an ice queen; nice gay guy remains nice and gay; obsessive stalker brother is getting ever more whackadoddle. Of course these last two have the best chemistry. (It’s caregiver codependency and the salvation trope. We got us a Leo/Fiat situation going on.​) Plus lots of classic BL tropes because OF COURSE there are lots of tropes. 

Occasionally, I am tempted to argue that shows like H4 or Cherry Magic or Ossan’s Love aren’t technically BL because of the office setting and age of the protags - but then they all behave like high school students anyway, so *shrug* 

Stand Alones

Cute little Taiwanese micro BL Friend or Lover dropped, about bisexual realization within a friendship group. Normally these are too short for me, but this one did pretty good with its 15 minutes of charm, plus it’s abad boy + shy softy pairing. 

Breaking News - Thai BL

Fish Upon the Sky released its actual trailer. The upside-down kiss is gone, which makes everyone sad, and it seems far less rivals to lovers than the first iteration, which makes ME sad. But it still looks good and a more classic BL than GMMTV has given us in a while. New trailer focused more on the makeover trope and they’ve upped Mix’s role (the object of everyone’s affection) now that he’s proved himself. (Or they are using him more to carry the trailer since he has a fan base form 1k*). Starts April 9 on GMMTV in 1K*’s time slot, probably with a 10 ep run. 

2gether the movie is apparently coming April 22 to Thai theaters. F4 Thailand must be having issues or GMMTV just wants to milk the BrightWin cash cow. It’s rumored to be a combination of 2gehter + Still 2gether with some extra scenes and ending. Also, one assumes a lot will be cut out, if it’s movie length.

Call It What You Want released its updated trailer. If anything, it looks more scary than before. What are we in for? April 9th. 

Nitiman got a release date, May 7 on One31. 

I Told Sunset About You 2 got an updated release date of May 27 on LineTV. 

Second Chance the series is coming to LineTV on March 29. I don’t know much about this one. Tons of familiar faces (mostly TharnType side dishes) and some nice looking new talent but a dearth of eng subs. I think it may take on Brothers’ time slot. Line did eng subs for Brothers so maybe they will do 2nd Chance too? 

Close Friend the series is coming April 22. This is a combination of 6 couples with 6 story arcs as music videos (maybe)? It’s an epic fan service with familiar faces like OhmFluke (UWMA), MaxNat (LBC also in Y-Destiny), YoonLay (YYY also in Y-Destiny), KimCop (GenY), and JaFirst (TT2).

Y-Destiny starts March 30, and has starting dropping couple’s trailers. I’m still suspicious given the director but it seems like there is plot (or plots) and a theme. Looks to be a series of 7 single ep vignettes (amended, see comments, might be 2 eps each for 14 eps total), different couple each time, some with supernatural elements, all with decent chemistry and acting chops. 

Sun MaxNat’s tutor/student arc

Mon jaded rich kid meets poor innocent  

Tues sports romance enemies to lovers 

Weds the messy realistic actual dating one 

Thurs hot ghost boyfriend (sad) 

Fri YoonLayPerth coping with loss and finding new love (sad). This one will all rest on Lay's acting so we know it’s in safe hands. Our boy is going to KILL it. 

Sat time-slip memory loss reunion romance 

I’m thinking we can’t expect any of these to end happy or be classic BL. They’re gonna be more slice of life-ish. 

Gossip - BL Outside of Thailand 

Scholar Ryu’s Wedding Ceremony AKA Nobleman Ryu’s Wedding (Korean historical BL) got a legit teaser (eng sub here). @curriculumvtae​ reports that it’s releasing April 15th on WeTV (Philippines & Thailand) and Idol Romance (South Korea), while Will of Thai Bl says it’ll be on Viki too. It’s a short run of 8 ep built on a fake relationship trope (arranged marriage variant):

Ryu Ho Seon’s (Kang In Soo from You Wish) arranged marriage turns out to be with his expected bride’s brother, Choi Ki Wan (Lee Se Jin from Mr Heart). Ryu tries to undo the marriage, but his ill mother opposes this saying the scandal would be too much. Meanwhile, Kim Tae Hyeong (Jang Eui Soo from Where Your Eyes Linger), a senior at Ryu’s school, comes to congratulate him and falls in love with Choi. Then one day, the original bride disappears.

Okay it seems a bit twisty turny for ONLY 8 EPS, but oh my goodness how excited are we? Our first intentional historical BL out of Korea!

We already knew Hong Kong was doing a remake of Japan’s Ossan’s Love under the same name (not my favorite Japanese BL but so very popular) but it’s now reported to be coming to Viu in June. Who knows how the CFA will take it. Depends on whether Hong Kong bows before the NO GAY KISSES regs or if they are going to use this as a political nose thumb... things could get cray with this puppy (the original has several kisses and s shower scene). Are we back in Addicted territory only with added comedy and civil unrest?

Speaking of Japan, Absolute BL (AKA Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai vs Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko) dropped sooner than anyone thought, March 27. But being Japanese who knows how/when/if we get subs. Protag finds himself trapped in a world of BL, but being straight he fights against any hot guy that draws near, but the whole world (literally) is conspiring against him. It’s a parody adapted from a yoai.

What with Absolute BL from Japan plus Lovely Writer and Call it What You Want from Thailand, is 2021 the year of BL being ultra self referential? Sure feels like it.

In Case You Missed It

Faded a gay micro film from Taiwan from 2017 deals with parental acceptance and serves up a ton of BL tropes (piggyback, forehead kiss, etc). I’m pretty sure this was a propaganda piece for legalization of gay marriage, and it’s an interesting nugget of BL history as a result. Yes, it ends happy. It’s cute. 

Next Week Looks Like This:

Some shows may be listed a day later than actual air date for accessibility reasons.

Upcoming 2021 BL master post here.

Links to watch are provided when possible, ask in a comment if I missed something.

Man there’s a lot going on right now! Spring has sprung... I suppose. 

P.S. I cannot believe I missed Absolute BL as a blog name. Numbnuts = me.
