This Week in BL - just RELAX BL, you're stressing me out

Organized, in each category, by ones I'm enjoying most at the top. However, I've put quite a few on hold for travel reasons.

Oct 2023 Wk 3

Ongoing Series - Thai

Dangerous Romance (Fri YT) ep 10 of 12 - Boyfriends are cute boyfriends. Reconciliation with daddy and then major brother drama. How exciting. Gah but that closing scene, these two are such great actors! 

Naughty Babe (Sat YT) ep 8 fin - A perfectly serviceable final episode. I did love the red Chinese-style wedding to go with the “hia.” Also, just a little Thai 'poke poke poke' at China. 

Final thoughts?

This is a nice addendum to Cutie Pie, but it’s relatively incomprehensible even if you’ve watched that previous installment. I can’t imagine it will make any sense at all if you haven’t. Frankly, the most impressive thing about this show was the makeup team. MaxNat give excellent chemistry, all the high heat is well done, and the friendships are adorable, even if the story is nonsensical. It’s fine, I’m relieved it was only 8 eps. I enjoyed it for the pair but I will probably never rewatch. A weak 8/10

My Universe (Sun iQIYI) Lucky Love ep 9 of 24 -Heartbroken (drunk) gay boy meets (fights) sister’s new chef. I love the femme bestie. Adorbs. This one seems pretty good actually. I like all the shots of Bangkok’s actual traffic. POV is a bit of a sad sack tho. 

Absolute Zero (Thai Weds iQIYI) ep 4 of 12 - There is something clever about this narrative in the way that they are each each other’s first and second loves, but also age gap kinda creepy (Thailand maybe leave this one for Japan?)

Venus in the Sky (Tues iQIYI) 8 of 10 eps - So much whiny gay drama babies. However, it also manages to be painfully slow, through the simple act of having 90% of the show be boys sitting around staring at their phones. Then it suddenly got way higher heat than I expected. Honestly, this could’ve ended at 8 sps. I don’t see how extending the show is going to improve it in any way.

Only Friends (Sat YT) ep 11 of 12 (not a BL but I'm watching it anyway) - I don’t have faith in any couple. One of my favorite things about this show is watching how many boys Mark can kiss. I know everyone is focusing on Neo, but seriously baby boy got game. Meanwhile Boston’s dick must be made of self-lubing steal pipe; I remain entirely uninterested is TopMew; Mew’s fam demonstrate why a gay boy should never take advice from straight women; and the slut-shaming agenda continues. NO SINGING. No character in this show is happy when Boeing turns up, but the rest of us trash-loving muckrakers are thrilled.

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

If It’s With You AKA Even If I Fall In Love With You AKA Kimi to nara Koi wo Shite Mite mo’ (Japan Gaga) ep 3 of 5 - Oh it is so cute and so sweet and so aching. I really did not want the confession to happen, even though I knew it had to. There is an element of torture to this one that only Japan can execute with such precise softness.

You Are Mine (Taiwan Fri Viki) eps 7 of 10 - I remain charmed. But while the me of 2018 would have thought this one of the best BLs ever, the me of now is finding it a bit dated and nostalgic.

Bon Appetit (Korea Weds iQIYI) 7-8fin - Romance between an office worker and the man from his past next door who cooks well. It was a very sweet and cute tale of food as love in the All the Liquors family of KBL. I’m not wild about it, I did enjoy it, I was happy to have it show up on my dash, but ultimately it will simply become one of the KBL crowd. 8/10 

Kiseki: Dear to Me (Taiwan Tues Viki & iQIYI) ep 10 of 13(?) - another one where they are separated for most of the show. Although the sides are giving win. 

Bump Up Business (Korea Gaga) 1-2 of 8 - from Idol Romance staring OnlyOneOf's Nine & Mill, this released as a movie in July in SK but is now being recut/reissued as a series. Love story between a trainee who is about to debut and a celebrity plagued by scandal. After that OmegaX Shoulder bullshizz business I am very wary of this show, but this pair is already better cast.

Out of the mouths of OnlyOneOf (!!!) babes...

As to the show? I don’t know. I mean I love the idea, am nervous about Korea (with that bubble) doing a meta critique of the BL industry, with K-pop idols, using an existing group. It just seems like there’s a lot of mines in this small field, and it could go horribly horribly wrong. I am enjoying it, but also anxious the whole time I’m watching it for culture/market reasons. That said, I did pretty much ask for this exact show. So I can't complain, now can I?  

Mr Cinderella 2 (Vietnam Sat YT) ep 5 of ? - I honestly don’t entirely understand what is going on. But it all seems to be the Psychotic Pretty Kitty’s fault. Oo caught in the act of drug-induced cheating - DRAMA. Dung should cut his losses and leave - cute doctor husband or not. Lovely kiss from the sides. I gotta say, this cast is hella pretty. I’m not mad that this team is kind of turning into GMMTV Vietnam.

It's Airing But...

I Feel You Linger in the Air (Fri grey) ep 8 of 12 - I will try to watch 8-12 and do a series review when I get back in November but... not sure I will be able to. Fingers crossed.

Love in Translation (Sat iQIYI) ep 8fin - completed, my final thoughts in Nov.

What Did You Eat Yesterday Season 2 AKA Kinou Nani Tabeta? Season 2 (Japan Fri Gaga) ep 1 of 10 - I find this series more fun to binge, so I'm waiting until it completes its run.

I Cannot Reach You AKA I Can't Reach You AKA Kimi ni wa Todokanai (Japan Tues Netflix-Japan & ????) - in classic JBL fashion, I Cannot Reach You could not be reached. 

Can I Buy Your Love From A Vending Machine? AKA Sono Koi, Jihanki de Kaemasu ka? (Japan cinema release in-country only) - This one is a movie from Japan so in customary fashion who tf knows when (or if) it will get international distribution. Salaryman Ayumu Koiwai just can't tear his eyes away from the strong, muscular man as he checks on the stocks of the vending machine in his office.

One Room Angel (Japan Gaga) - Yukinori, a convenience store clerk was accidentally stabbed by a thug and nearly died. He returns home to find an angel waiting for him. The drama is an adaptation based on Harada’s manga of the same name (which I did not like). With only five episodes and a good chance this won’t end happily, I am going to wait and let you tell me how it goes. Binge it when it is complete if it's safe.

In Case You Missed It

GMMTV posted their initial 2024 line up, here's my round up of the BLs. It includes 2 JBL adaptations, 2 KBL adaptations (that they aren't admitting to) and vampires. If you want to know how I did on the predictions that's here and the answer is: very badly indeed.

I am watching the Y Journey: Stay Like a Local series. But they are essentially tourist board long-form advertisements. I enjoy the promo aspect with regards to the food. And seeing some of my favorite pairs do interesting other things is kinda fun. But the whole thing feels disingenuous when gay marriage is still not legal and it’s essentially the Thai government (making these ads) who is stopping that from happening. I have a similar feeling to iQIYI as a content provider. It’s not queerbaiting in the original sense of the term, but it’s pretty gross to use gay for advertising with a nationalistic propaganda agenda, when being gay is still not legal in your country. Yes I struggle to reconcile myself with this on the regular, and it’s an ongoing hypocritical struggle for my tiny withered tired old heart.

All that said, this week's installment, He’s Not Happy, did make me want to rewatch Make a Wish. There’s no kissing in this series but JudoFluke kiss beautifully, so If you haven’t seen Make a Wish, it’s very good and I recommend tracking it down.

Next Week Looks Like This

Upcoming October BL

10/26 My Dear Gangster Oppa (Thai iQIYI) 8 eps - nerd retreats from the world into an online game and makes friends with a little group, they meat in real life, one of them is hot, they fall in love, hottie turns out to be a gangster. Trailer

10/31 SHADOW (Thai Gaga) - this is a horror BL featuring ghosts and other paranormal elements in a high school setting. I'm not wild about Thai horror (or horror at all). It features Singto (who did paranormal BL He's Coming to Me) opposite Fluke N (who's done a couple horror's before). Also Fiat. Dan suffers from sleep paralysis, and in his dreams he sees a shadow that suffocates him. It gets worse when he transfers schools.

2023 forthcoming BL master post (see comments, some are inaccurate, NOT KEPT UPDATED).

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

We stan consent and talking about sex during sex. Thank you Venus in the Sky.

I guess Ray's getting his 3some? Only Friends

Dangerous Romance hitting up some old school tropes.

(Last week)

[wendy-loves-star-wars]

hot take i guess

anyone who thinks fifty fifty seriously backstabbed their millionaire company ceo who "sold his car to help them debut" is delusional and probably a jealous fan of another group. you believe loona, omegax, exo, how many other groups, but not fifty fifty when they say their company is mistreating them? crazy. people will literally call unbalanced line distribution "abuse" and "mismanagement", but not making a member perform while injured?

[mysmorgasbordoffantabulosa]

Looking at everything that’s come out recently about korean entertainment companies (re: omegax, loona, lee seung gi), I’m side eyeing BH 👀

Though at this point there might be more company stans than actual member stans, so BH would probably get away with some shit 😬😂

I think a lot of people are hoping that HYBE will have a massive scandal or revelation, like some of the other companies in relation to how they treat their artists.

But here's the thing why would BTS and Seventeen resign with their labels, if there's a potential issue with HYBE? I don't think they would. Time and again k-pop artists who are unhappy with their companies will leave.

Now until fairly recently, BigHit was public enemy number 1, every other company (particularly the big 3) wanted them to fail, and during that time not one scandal has been discovered. HYBE (and in particular BigHit) tend to treat their artists well, particularly since they started planning to become the publicly traded company they are now.

Many of HYBE's recent issues are related to the sub-label Source Music (the way GFriend were unceremoniously disbanded without warning and the Kim Garam bullying scandal that plagued Le Sserifem's debut). But so far nothing untoward about these have been leaked to the press. Why not? You're not telling me that out of the several hundreds/thousands employed by HYBE aren't any prepared to leak information? That suggests there's nothing going on. Also remember when that manager was seen hitting JK he was fired from his position.

And that's the thing, nothing has been leaked to the press about HYBE and the sub-labels and how artists are treated. People assume HYBE is using all their artists, but you have to remember that the Artists themselves profit very well from their contract.

Personally, if a scandal were to arise, I don't think it wouldn't be related to their treatment of the artists, but perhaps an issue with Weverse or HYBE's co-ownership of YG Plus.

Also, not every company are shits to their artists, there are some gooduns out there.

Hello! Not sure if you're a fan, but Nine and Mill from OnlyOneOf have started shooting their BL series.

Apparently all members will be in it, but bts photos only show 2 of them so far.

I was wondering who (amongst them) would star.

I knew they'd be doing it (for like a year now?) but I am wary after OmegaX falaffed about with their whatever-the-shoulder-that-was.

So I'm less excited than I once as. Cautiously intrigued?

Back to OnlyOneOf...

For those who have been following along, Nine (Main Vocal) and Mill (Main Rapper) were in the "escape the bullies" installments of OnlyOneOf's "be" music video series.

There is a small part of me who wanted it to be the visuals (of course, I'm shallow) but I think these two were the best actors, for the limited bits we get in MVs.

i would say I am... curious to see what comes of this.

At least it can't be worse than Shoulder, can it?

Here's the last deets I had on the show in question:

Bump Up Business

Form Idol Romance, announced here, me talking about it here. Studio will do sad but can do good kisses (Wish You, Nobleman Ryu, Once Again, Kissable Lips, Poongduck 304, Tasty Florida, Tinted With You).

So... who knows?

"Depicts the tickling love story between a trainee who is about to debut and a celebrity from the same agency."

Kpop boy group OnlyOneOf has collectively signed up to be in this idol-based BL, Bump Up Business (based on a webtoon of the same name).

They’ve been auditioning for this since Libido IMHO. You can watch me chronicle their BL MV series in this post.

[transparentparadisecomputer]

Omega X, a "big monster rookie," is showing terrifying growth.

Omega X, which made a comeback with its first single "WHAT'S GOIN' ON" on the 6th, recorded 48,972 initial sales, proving a noticeable rise. In particular, the initial sales record is unrivaled among rookie idol groups that debuted in 2021.

Omega X's first mini-album "VAMOS (Bamos)" released on June 30, recorded 20,000 initial copies out of stock during the initial period. The initial stage of "WHAT'S GOIN' ON" is all the more meaningful in that it has broken its own record with a figure that easily exceeds this.

Omega X has continued its unrivaled upward trend with rapid growth three months after its debut. Immediately after its release, "WHAT'S GOIN' ON" topped the Hanteo Chart and Gaon Retail Chart in real time and topped the Spotify Credit Guarantee Chart. The music video also has more than 10 million views, raising expectations for a long run.

His presence on the stage is also shining. Taking advantage of the advantages of the multi-member group, Omega X presents choreography and high-quality choreography, and enriches the stage every time with gestures and more colorful facial expressions that stand out in 11 colors. As a result, OmegaX is solidifying its position from "large rookie monster" to "complete boy group" and as a new "performance restaurant."

Omega X has released two albums three months after its debut, continuing the keen interest of global fans. Many people's expectations are also focused on the endless transformation and steady growth that OmegaX will continue to introduce.

Meanwhile, Omega X released its first single "WHAT'S GOIN' ON" on the 6th and is actively engaged in activities. The title song "WHAT'S GOIN' ON" is a song featuring Omega X's unique color and powerful charisma, delivering strong energy.

[exo-s-victory-lap]

no I was litterally thinking about an omegax debut situation in this show. Like replace the flop new boy group with a flop second chance boy group and I think it would give them way more character.

Time for imitation!

[hoshiwhxre]

If we’re speaking about how many nee groups there are Emily I have two group debuting on the same day 🥲
