okay i'm having thoughts about acting and specifically kissing in dramas.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT CHIMON BECAUSE IT COULD STILL BE AN ACTING CHOICE, it was just PROMPTED by seeing this discourse on my dash again (remember the outrage at the "dead fish kiss" in To My Star and then the egg on everybody's faces when that was a deliberate choice?)
I always gave it the benefit of the doubt btw
HOWEVER I do think, at this point, if you're gonna make ANY romance, and I'm not even talking just BL - you've gotta start learning to kiss properly.
I would genuinely rather a drama had NO kiss than had a bad one. Because if you've got great chemistry and a nothing kiss, it feels like a waste of chemistry. like. go girl, give us nothing! the chemistry vanishes in the blink of an eye because what was it all leading up to?
every single person in any show in any country needs to take a lesson from Nanon Korapat. that man had never done a BL before, probably won't ever do one again, and did not need to go as hard as he did, but he strutted in and kissed that man like he goddamn MEANT IT.
if you are an actor and you're not bringing this level of commitment, RESPECT YOUR CRAFT MORE!! you don't have any excuse not to!!
and I'm not saying that every show requires a full makeout sesh, they don't! the reason why I love kiss scenes so much (particularly as an ace person) is that it feels like a culmination and continuation of the characters' dynamics. characters kiss like THEMSELVES, which means actors can switch how they kiss between roles, because it's just another facet of *acting*.
Perth is actually a great example of this! So is Ohm Pawat, and Saint Suppapong!
And if we're straying out of Thailand, Ji Chang Wook does this well, as does Seo In Guk. Lee Junho, Park Minyoung, Chae Soobin, there are a lot of korean actors and actresses who've done this.
There are Western actors who are fantastic at this too - David Tennant, Billie Piper, Colin Firth, Chris Evans, Sarah Michelle Gellar etc. etc.
Kissing isn't just there to titillate audiences, or it shouldn't be. it's there because it's part of the STORY, part of these characters, and it MATTERS.
which is also why I'm hoping Chimon's response to the kiss was a deliberate choice because it doesn't make any sense for this man to not commit when his partner is renowned Great Dramatic Kisser, Perth Tanapon.

Kdrama MCs that are truly ride or die for their significant other.
1. Goo Seung Jun from Crash Landing On You. The redemption arc was so good for him. But then he proved to be the ultimate ride or die by SPOILERS -- literally dying for his SO. --SPOILERS
2. Ahn Min Hyuk from Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. SPOILERS — lots of stuff happens and then there is a bomb. Bong Soon is tied up and strapped to a bomb and he can’t get to her and then he just refuses to leave her to die alone. He says, “Let’s go together.” The very definition of ride or die. — SPOILERS
3. Joo Joong Won from The Master's Sun. Literal sunshine girl and grumpy boy trope and you will love every minute of it. Even though he's always telling her to get lost he was gone for her by the third episode, he just didn't know it yet.
4. Choi Dal Po/Ki Ha Myung from Pinocchio.
5. Seo Jung Ho from Healer. He can kick all the ass and will do it for Young Shin.
6. Kang Ho Goo from Fool's Love. He was on her side from minute one and never swayed. He tops the list for ride or die.
7. Noh Ji Wook from Suspicious Partner.
8. Yoo Shi Jin & Seo Dae Young from Descendants of the Sun. Sure they love their ladies but these two are ride or die for each other.

EOY Drama Challenge 2023
Day 12: A platonic relationship you loved
I loved the love/hate relationship between No Ji Wook and Ji Eun Hyuk in Suspicious Partner. Watching them interact was always a riot.
