Me wanting to fix the plot does not mean I do not like the show. Two things can be true at once. I like these shows so I want them to be better.

15 Day BL Challenge - Day 6

Day 6: Fave Line From Your Fave Series

There are simply TOO MANY of them 😭 Personally I love good one liners, which I then turn in my head like a rotisserie chickens for days. Some series are also packed with good one liners and it's hard to choose just one. I'll try to write at least a few, I'll definitely skip a whole bunch of good ones 😭

The Untamed (so many good lines)

Lan Wang Ji quoting Wei Wuxian and standing behind his words: "The feeling to sticking to the single-log bridge till it's dark is indeed not bad" it means so much, and it's so them

The Eight Sense (so many good lines)

JiHun: "He's here" it means so much, and in so many contexts

Kinn Porsche (also so many good lines)

it's just so good 😎

A First Love Story (it's cute, it's hot, it's short and still one of the best BLs 🥰)

My gear your gown (not my fave, but I just love this line) Folk about one of the ML's parents "People (family) find it (homosexuality) acceptable, as long as it does not concern them (their kids)"

My School President

Mr Tiwson my king 👑 : "If highschool love is like a lit candle in the rain, I, Tiwson, will hold an umbrella for you" ✨

Love in Translation

Yang: "I'll delete it" that was so hot of him 😉

To Sir with Love

Yang: "Tian!" when Yang realizes his brother's situation. That one cry embodies the beautiful relationship of Tian and Yang and their brotherly love, I love that moment so much ( I can't find any gif of this scene so I'll just a different one, also sweet 💖)

Sig My Crush

Not exactly a quote, but this:

Love for love's sake (so many good lines, I'll just pick one randomly 😭)

I Cannot Reach You

We Best Love Gao Shi De: "Yes I like you. But it's none of your business" it's so good, so mature, so "my feelings are my problem" just... wow

Not my fave but some classics must be mentioned 😋 2gether

the most famous line of our BL ancestors lmao

"Keep looking at me like that and I will kiss you till you drop"

Sotus

Oh, and this one always makes me laugh, because mood: My Secret Love

[absolutebl]

Hello! Do you track actors who switch from Seme to Uke roles in different series, or vice versa? If so, question: In Chains of Heart (which I can't believe I was able to get through), Haii plays Ken, who I'm assuming is the Uke. He was a (tsundere?) Seme in TharnType 2, no? And his partner on screen there, Title, wasn't he just playing a Seme as Ana's ex in Future, different from his childlike Uke in TharnType2? Did they both switch roles in different series or did I just get that all wrong (very possible). How common is this besides the guy from Advance Bravely?

Actors who have played both seme & uke in BL?

I don't really track it but I do find it unique and interesting. Lemme scrape the brain meats.

You are right they are really rare but Thailand is making inroads as they move off of an obsession with height discrepancy, so there are more than you think.

This is what I got off the top of my head:

Gong Jun - Advance Bravely (U) & Word of Honor (S)

Ba Vinh - Love Bill (U) & Mr Cinderella (U?) vs every other of his 1000 series (S) - thanks @squeakygeeky

Tay Tawan - Dark Blue Kiss (S) & 3 Will Be Free (U)

Haii Sarunsathorn - TharnType 2 (S) & Chains of Heart (U)

Title Tanatorn - TharnType 2 (U) & Future (S)

Marc Pahun - My Gear and Your Gown (S) & Chains of Heart (U), also played a BL side role in 3 BLs airing at the same time.

White Nawat - Love Sick (S) & Theory of Love (U)

Nammon Krittanai - SOTUS S (U) & Work From Heart (S)

Singto Prachaya - SOTUS (S) & Paint with Love (U)

Yacht Patsit - Between Us (S) & Paint with Love (U)

Mark Siwat - Love By Chance (S) & Bite Me (U)

Fiat Patchata - SOTUS S (U) & My Gear and Your Gown (S)

Han Gi Chan - Where Your Eyes Linger (U) & Ocean Likes Me (S)

Haii & Title are the only ones I know of who are a pair both of whom also played opposite archetypes.

Aun Napat shifts from seme to uke in the course of My Gear and Your Gown. Arguably.

A case could be made?

First Kanaphan - depends how you look at Not Me and Shipper

Fluke Gawin - depends on how you look at Not Me and Dark Blue Kiss

Khaotung Thanawat - Tonhon Chonlatee (U) & The Eclipse (S, but it's not really a S/u show)

Max Nattapol (YES of MaxTul) - Bangkok Love Stories 2: Innocence (U... maybe?) & Manner of Death (S)

Ja Phachara - UWMA (U, but it's unclear) & Don't Say No (S)

similarly, Na Naphat - UWMA (S, but unclear) & KinnPorsche (U) & forthcoming BL Wish Me Luck (S)

In that one Na will be opposite Fiat (above), at which point they will be part of the elite club of pair switches with Haii & Title.

I honestly can't remember which role Phuwin played opposite Neo in My Tee, and I'm NOT rewatching it to remind myself.

If anyone has any more to rec please do. I know I am missing some more obscure ones.

Oh right and this man, of course.

All hail the king. (Bah Vinh has been in like every Vietnamese BL, including one where he played a straight guy side.) He usually plays the seme roles but in Mr Cinderella he was not quite.

I just realized P' New directed 5 of my top favourite bl series (like literally).

Boompeak was first ever bl ship, 2 wish was the one and only pairing I went a fan meeting to and Pondphuwin is my favourite ship from GMM pairs.

I think I need " New Siwaj Sawatmaneekul " shrine at my house.🛐

[heretherebedork]

Okay, so, Dangerous Romance is just the much better written and directed version of My Gear and Your Gown and with the rich nerd and poor jock switched for rich jock and poor nerd? I mean, the original actors are even in the show as the secondary pairing!

I Watched Every GMMTV BL series part 4/?

2016/2017

2018

2019

If your favorite BL came out in 2020, you should probably scroll past this post now.

BTW, before anyone says it, I didn't forget The Shipper. I watched it and decided not to include it because I don't consider it BL. Body swap stories are not my cup of tea, but I thought it was pretty good. I enjoyed it more than any of the shows I'm about to talk about, at least.

Sorry in advance for writing a whole ass essay on a show no one watched.

2gether - 2020

When first year college student, Tine (Win Metawin) is relentlessly pursued by Green (Gun Korawit), he asks handsome and popular Sarawat (Bright Vachirawit) to be his fake boyfriend. I feel like I don’t need to explain any further. You’re familiar with the fake-dating plot.

Honestly, this plot was so nothing that I’m bored even trying to write about it. The series is thirteen episodes, but could’ve been condensed to, like, eight. I feel like people unfairly judge Jittirain works based on this one, because it's (I think) her most popular one. But it's an outlier, Vice Versa was good, dammit!

Why does his leg look like it's bending backwards like a flamingo?

Still 2gether - 2020

As the title suggests, Tine and Wat are still together. For five episodes. Although for two of those episodes, they are separated with no contact.

While 2gether The Series has barely any plot, Still 2gether has no plot at all. That being said, it’s only five episodes and the couples act more like couples this time, so it’s easier to watch than the first series.

I don't remember why I took this screenshot, but I'm sure I had something very witty to say.

My Gear and Your Gown - 2020

Disclaimer: I was not aware of any of any actor’s legal troubles before watching this series, so that did not factor into my viewing experience.

After returning from studying abroad in England, Pai (Pawin Thanik) starts his final year of high school as a new student. On his first day, he is rescued twice by the same mysterious boy. After being roped into becoming president of his academic club, he learns that they are about to lose their club room to their rival athletic club. His hero becomes his enemy when the rival club’s president, Itt (Marc Natarit), turns out to be the same boy who rescued Pai on his first day.

I’m not gonna lie, this show really had me going in the first half. It sort of dragged, but I was ready to give it a passing grade. And then it all fell apart. I feel played by this drama. The first half of this show is set during their final year of high school and the latter half takes place during their freshman year of college. The high school stuff is just your basic enemies-to-friends-to-secret-crush story, but it felt true to life. The college stuff makes no goddamn sense.

Some spoilers ahead.

The high school portion moves pretty slowly, but I liked the way the relationship developed. Initially, Pai is forced to tutor Itt, but as they grow closer, he begins to genuinely care about Itt’s future, and he continues to tutor him after he no longer has to. After they have their falling out, he continues helping Itt in secret, and despite being heartbroken, he is happy for Itt when he does well on his college entrance exams. It’s heartbreaking and bittersweet, but also strangely satisfying. That might just be a Me thing. I find it so gratifying in dramas when the person with a one-sided crush just…gives up. I'm pro giving up.

Then we see Pai in college, where he discovers that Itt has chosen to attend the same university. He tries to avoid him, but Itt just keeps showing up to harass Pai. He convinces Pai to join the university’s Moon contest by withholding an item that Pai lost in high school that holds sentimental value to him. You know, romance. Anyways, it’s revealed that Itt is actually doing all of this to push Pai out of his comfort zone so he can learn to speak up for himself. But, the thing is, it was not well established to begin with that Pai had any trouble speaking up for himself. The only time we see that is with his parents. He actually makes his boundaries very clear in most situations, in a way that’s impressively mature for his age. Like, when a guy he rejected asks to go to his dorm room, he's like, "When you only see me as a friend, I'll invite you in," and I was like, "Damn, good answer." The few times Pai and Itt fought in high school, it was always Pai reaching out to Itt and making every effort to explain himself and Itt ignoring him. Pai is not the one with communication issues, is what I'm saying. This whole thing feels like an excuse for Itt to harass Pai. And the fact that Itt continues to let Pai believe he hates him is just baffling. He has this “it has to be this way” attitude, but no, it absolutely does not, you’re just drama.

The most disappointing thing about it is that this is an unrequited love reversal, which is my FAVORITE romance plot trope, and they bungled it. They had the chance to do Flipped better than Theory of Love*, but instead we got whatever the fuck this is.

The two lead actors did fine for the most part, but seemed to struggle when it came to heavier emotional scenes. They’re kind of blown out of the water by Fiat and JJ, who play Itt’s best friend Pure and Pai’s best friend Waan, respectively. The two characters form a friendship with each other that seems more genuine than either of their friendships with the main characters. Waan dragging a depressed Pure to a clinic to get tested for STIs is peak best friend behavior.

TW for sexual assault. There is an attempted rape of one of the characters during the college portion of the series. It’s not the worst use of this trope I’ve seen. The perpetrator is not the love interest of the victim and it’s not used as a plot device to make a red flag love interest out to be a hero (See Tonhon Chonlatee below). The perpetrator is forgiven way too easily though. Is it so much to ask that BL shows treat rape like a crime?

*Just kidding, probably not.

Joke's on you, that only makes me want to do it more.

Tonhon Chonlatee - 2020

Chonlatee (Khaotung Thanawat) has had a secret crush on the older boy next door, Tonhon (Pod Suphakorn) since they were kids. He has vowed never to tell him, since Tonhon dates girls. But when Chonlatee gets into the same university, Tonhon insists on Chonlatee moving in with him, and his secret gets harder to keep.

There were things I liked about this show. The ongoing joke that it is very obvious to everyone but Tonhon that Chon is gay is funny for a while, as well as Tonhon being oblivious to the fact that his two roommates who he’s lived with for three years are in a relationship. I like pretty much all of their friends, especially Chon’s best friend Pong played by Ciize. Unfortunately, this show is badly written. I mean, like, REALLY bad.

Some spoilers beyond this point. And TW for sexual assault.

Pretty much every bad BL trope is in here. They made the rival love interest so much more likable than Tonhon. And this is a guy who congratulates people for meeting him, how is he more likable than your main love interest? Tonhon has to rescue Chon from being raped (by the same guy from Kiss Me Again, he should be concerned about how he’s being typecast). And of course, we have the queen of all lazy BL tropes: every villainous trait you can think of wrapped into one jealous ex-girlfriend, who is the source of literally every conflict. It’s so unnecessary, because there are already things in their lives that can cause drama without bringing in a queen bee villain, like Tonhon’s internalized homophobia or his homophobic dad. But, no, every catastrophic event is orchestrated by this one woman, including the attempted rape. In the end, everyone boos and throws garbage at her. Even the rapist tells her off, and also gets off with, like, no consequences. They magically solve the homophobic dad problem by promising to get a surrogate so Tonhon can produce an heir. Him constantly pressuring his kids to have babies is never seen as an issue, just the fact that he won’t let Tonhon date Chonlatee.

There’s a time skip scene at the end where all of the characters sit in a circle telling each other what is going on in their lives now. Just, like, telling each other things they should probably already know. "Tonhon's dad bought you a house because you agreed to carry their baby, so now you don't have to be a sex worker." What is even the point of a timeskip if we don’t even get to SEE them living their lives? And they’re already having a baby after THREE YEARS? Chon is still in school, are you fucking nuts?

And, really, Chon? Three years later, you still have that haircut, huh?

Soulmate - The One. Like he was created for me, specifically. Sugar Daddy - He may not have it all, but he knows how to spoil me. Friend With Benefits - Despite my better judgment, I went and caught feelings. Second Lead - All my friends love him, but I don’t feel the spark. Overeager Pursuer - Tries to be cute but just gets on my nerves. Vindictive Ex - It’s like he’s punishing me for knowing I could do better. Love Rival - Literally what did I do to deserve this? -
