Thai BL Favourites List Tag Game

Why would you inflict this torture and cruelty on me, @lost-my-sanity1 😭😭😭😭

Favourite BL:

I said it before and I'll say it again, SOTUS holds a very special place in my heart. Say what you want about the storyline, plot, and actors (although, I will have your head if you come for my beloved Singto). I truly believed that the Thai BL landscape changed remarkably (for the better) when GMMTV released SOTUS in 2016. If you have been watching BLs as long as I have, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

Favourite pairing:

Pat and Pran (OhmNanon) have revived something in me that I thought died with so many underwhelming BLs that had gone before them lol (hello, BBS Episodes 4 and 5) 😅 Although MLC's Heart and Li Ming (GeminiFourth) also had me in a chokehold.

More underrated actor:

Sing Harit. If you don't believe me, just look at his very extensive filmography. Also, Slam Dance, The Revenge, and Not Me. Enough said lol

Favourite character:

In a Thai BL? Again, @lost-my-sanity1, just why???? Have I offended you in some way? Well, if you really must know then Sun (Chimon Wachirawit) from My Dear Loser: Edge of 17. Look, the way that Sun just accepted the fact that he'll never be number one - not with his family or with his beloved In (who sends Sun mixed signals every chance he gets, played by Pluem Purim), sends me into a downward spiral.

Another character that I love is Oh-aew (played by the ultra-talented PP Krit) from I Told Sunset About You. I'm just soft for characters who are oblivious that they are in a toxic relationship, okay? 😅

Favourite side character:

Definitely Pearmai (Aye Sarunchana) from Be My Favorite. Look, it has been a staple in a Thai BL to have (cis) female villains who are caught in a love triangle with one of the main characters (looking at you, Plern Pleng/Aim Satida of Together with Me). She admits she's not perfect and also cries when she found out that Kawi and Pisaeng are a thing. However, she didn't let it affect her friendship with the two. She even turn down Not's not-so-subtle invitation to be an effing rebound guy ("I'm disappointed, not desperate" will be forever etched in my mind).

Favourite scene:

I have so many. I can't just pick one 😭😭😭😭

Favourite line:

Have I talked about the script from Tale of a Thousand Stars? Because I really need to talk about how each effing episode is a nugget made of quotable quotes (For Pete's sake, from the very beginning, Torfun's "Where we are happy, we are home" sends tears to my eyes).

Most anticipated bl and why:

Only Friends because Jojo Tichakorn. Also, have you seen 3 Will Be Free???

Healthiest relationship in a bl:

PatPran. No explanations are necessary.

Most toxic relationship in a bl:

LOL. Where there is MAME anywhere near the writing and production crew, there is guaranteed toxicity in the plot (and not in a good, entertaining way — more like "you should have gotten a restraining order yesterday").

Guilty pleasure series:

I have to admit that I have watched 2 Moons 2 an embarrassing amount of times when there was basically only 2gether The Series in my semi-decent BL list.

Bonus! Most underrated series:

Dark Blue Kiss. I do not get all the hate TayNew has gotten over the years, but really the Kiss Me, Kiss Me Again, and Dark Blue Kiss were all worth watching simply because you can see how Pete and Kao grew as a couple.

Also, 3 Will Be Free deserves more YouTube views.

That's it. That's the post.

And since misery loves company, I'm tagging @dribs-and-drabbles, @telomeke, @ellasaru12, and whoever wants to undergo the same torture as I did when answering these questions lol

Coffee Melody Ep 7 Stray Thoughts

Duen Yi is so obnoxious. Let Plengruk explain what his ex who was so bad he didn't want to date again first. FFS. I just do not have the patience for this emotional breakdown.

What an absolutely terrible read on what happened. Plengruk was not happy to see ole boy, and as a reminder To has been the one insistent that they be a couple.

I'm really not enjoying the implications that Plengruk is in the wrong here.

I'm glad this show keeps putting the Call Me By Your Name poster in the background. Another extremely flawed relationship that folks consistently read as ultra romantic.

I'm glad Duen Yi has a supportive family, but I remain deeply frustrated with him.

Oh good. The side couple. Let's take a break from the main couple's nonsense.

This loud highway is a character in this story.

Oh no, now it's the annoying straight boss.

No sympathy for this dude. She told you what she was worried about and you proved her right immediately. Get out of here.

I forgot Warhammer 40k sponsored this. Such whiplash constantly. I hope a bunch of Thai girls and gays start playing Warhammer.

I keep forgetting these children also have a subplot. There's just so much happening in this show.

Wizards of the Coast is pushing into Japan with marketing. I need to see a BL about the drama around a D&D campaign and the player romances.

I hate how stiff Thai BL actors look when they're fighting. I want to see them moving around the space. I want to see physicality. I want to see someone get thrown through a window. Just standing there with your arms at your side trying to delivery emotionally intense dialogue with minimal audience context is super tedious.

Like, I like Pavel, but I feel like he's been short-changed by a lot with this particular role.

And Duen Yi just shows up at the end? Ugh, this episode was kinda lame for me. I'm so frustrated.

I still don't think Plengruk needs to apologize.

Well, that was a penultimate episode of Thai BL.
