#thamepo ep 13

[wanderlust-in-my-soul]

Well, we'll never really finish it, do we? And who said I actually wanted to watch the movie?

[thebroccolination]

My favorite thing about Thame is that even when he was following through on all of ONER’s requests and trying his best to protect MARS, the one thing he never really put his heart into was hiding Po.

And in the last episode he doesn’t even hesitate to include Po in that photo.

Po is his pride and joy, and Thame was always very, very clear on that no matter what the circumstances.

Nano saying „we‘ll play tag now“ and then they all run away from staff was probably the second funniest thing

[hughungrybear]

Baifern giving great reactions to Po's revelations 😂

I'm slightly disappointed that Earn is still a slimy little shit though.

Baifern should have emptied her glass on Earn's face 🙃

[hyperactivelyanxious]

all the sadness aside for Thamepo ending, because are we not gonna talk about their empty concert conversation and the way thame kept looking at po as if his world was just struck by a meteor and his mind was racing with oh?, oh!, oh's over and over again

ThamePo ep 13

This show started airing in DECEMBER but this whole run feels so short, even though it 13 eps.

interesting song for title

them sellin sth looking like proper stadium arena makes no sense HHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH and the actuall people shown are like 8 lines hahahahahhahaha

I would not want to be in the crew shoes, I can comfirm they are STRESSED

boy has such big pretty eyes

also no one has a phone; it should be all over twitter by now XD

you did it yourself bc you did not listen to them

FINALLY

YOU WERE! You stopped the fansite bc of dating you stupid ass

they are cute with Pepper

SUCH A PRETTY SHOT they know how to use lights

Her blouse <3 <3<3

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

Go fight Earn gogogo.....

ok that was cute

not life changing but I will always stand by characters who value romantic walking so much

[moon0fairy]

I thought I was thinking to negatively but I‘m glad people have the same critique as me. I found Po a bit too passive especially in the end. He was the one who broke up with Thame so I wished he would‘ve given Thame a big speech in the end confessing his love but in the end it was Thame again. Thame also said I love you twice while Po never said it back (I understand you don‘t have to say even though you do but in a show setting it feels kinda off).

I also wish they mentioned the letter again because it played a big role in ep 12 and then nothing? I really wished Po answered the letter and confessed his feelings after the concert and maybe initiated the kiss (that would’ve been a bonus)

I truly loved the show but Po‘s passiveness is probably my biggest criticism

I think my biggest disappointment with ThamePo was that the memorized phone number 'paid off' in a totally unneeded phone call that didn't actually benefit anyone in the end since Po was literally right there and it was basically just a pointless moment of Po waiting for Thame to make the first move yet again.

(My actual ideal use of it would have been for Po to wake up during their separation to text messages checking up on him from an unfamiliar number only to find out later that it was Thame worrying about him in the middle of the night despite their break up because that would have broken my heart.

Or if they had used the phones to find each other instead of just... being there. I really just wanted the phone number to mean something and to have more depth, to have Po answer a new number and asking who it was and Thame answering in a panic and asking him where he was and them trying to both give directions while rushing to each other... ugh, it could have been SO good.)

I do also wish Po had made the first move at any point but he did claim Thame in front of his friends so at least he did something for them as a couple.

(I would also have loved to see them being open about their relationships in a bigger way but I suppose that's more Our Skyy material rather than finale episode.)

[lyknest]

see this is why i love when episodes air weekly because i could never reach this level of brainrot while binge watching

[wanderlust-in-my-soul]

I'll love you through every chapter of your life.

[thebroccolination]

THIS FUCKING SHOW WAS SO SMART EVEN PO WORKING IN A SUIT SHOP HAD MEANING IN THE END

BECAUSE??? OH YEAH, THEY NEED COSTUMES IF THEY’RE STRIKING OUT ON THEIR OWN.

GOOD THING THAME’S BOYFRIEND MAKES THEM.

THIS FUCKING SHOWWWWW!!!!!!!!

[moon0fairy]

Miss Pemika smiled too much at the end for my liking

[hughungrybear]

Given the narrative, being an independent artist was really the only way to go for everyone to get a happy ending. I would be very surprised if anybody was remotely shocked that the story went this way.

I still think that Pemika was left off easily. There was no real repercussion to all she did (at least not that we know of). I'll just derive comfort from the fact that her company also manages Gump and we all know how that story went lol 😂😂😂

It really is a sweet love story but it also gives the audience something to think about what it means to have dreams and the true meaning of success. Like Po, people need to realise that just because there's no fancy job title appended to your name doesn't mean you'll end up miserable or unhappy.

Success does not only apply in careers. Living a happy, contented life regardless of circumstances is a success too.

I suddenly remember an old Chinese curse: "May you live in interesting times." It might sound like a blessing, but if you think about it, only those who kept seeking something just to feel anything are those who remain in utter misery. So Po and Thame living in such an "uninteresting" life is the real blessing.

[tortibomb]

And that was how their every day would be, forever. ♡ ✧₊⁺ The End

As for you, turn off your shipper mode already, all right? All right. I won’t do that anymore. I’ll drop everything, okay? Let’s go eat.

ThamePo Heart That Skips a Beat | Ep.13 FINALE

+ also Jun x Dylan:

[absolutebl]

This Week in BL - I'm using the word "ridiculous" a lot

Organized, in each category, with ones I'm enjoying most at the top.

Dec 2024 Week 3

Ongoing Series - Thai

Your Sky (Sun iQIYI) ep 5 of 12 - OMG they’re so fucking cute I can’t stand it. It’s too much. Everyone is adorable. Including the father. (That said, I wouldn’t recommend watching Naughty Babe with your dad. That’s a big leap there, cutie pie.) The 10 minutes of holding hand negotiation and then finally walking together across campus was truly fucking fantastic. This show is GLORIOUS. Now we also know when it finally does move from dreams to reality, that these two can kiss.

Actual name of this show?

How to Train Your Seme

Speaking of names, Fah's brother, whose name I forget, is now going to referred to by me as Sarcastic Cupid. Because that is his role in this narrative. I love him very much.

On a completely different note, and I know this is not that kind of show, but this is me so I have to say it, if these two ever do have sex it’s gonna take them hours. They just gonna spend half the night negotiating. Which is kind of tantric, but my goodness would they even make it into bed?

ThamePo (Fri YT) ep 2 of 12 - i just love this show!!!! so happy to have this one my screen. The dads have to save the little musical family! So cute! And illegally pretty.

Love Sick 2024 (Sun iQIYI) ep 14 of 15 - They substantially took steps to fix Phun‘s dad character in the new version and I really like that a lot. I'm chronicling my experience with 2024 as compared to 2014 here. 

Caged Again (Fri Gaga) ep 7 of 10 - Why is this absurd show so damn good? When Sun has to beg it’s just too much. It’s too sweet and aching and hurtful and wonderful. Catnip = the sex herb trope was not anything I’ve ever thought I would see in my lifetime. Okaaay now. Relax little show. Too far.

Fourever You (Thurs YT) ep 12 of 16 - The extended version is clearly better. But I’m not gonna bother to pay for it. Again, I’m liking the new couple more and more each week. I still prefer the first couple of course cause Pond but it’s enjoyable enough.

Note: I'm super grateful for those posting them as clips here on the hellsite. Because man can these boys kiss!

The Heart Killers (Weds Gaga) ep 4 of 12 - this show is so entirely and utterly ridiculous. I don’t even know what to do with it or myself. Or what to say. Carry on, I guess?

Also I don't know what GMMTV is smoking to tease this one, but I'll take a hit next time they pass the BL bong.

Perfect 10 Liners (Sun YT?) ep 7 of 24 - I am living for Pond & Sand. they are pretty much all I care about. Yes including the upcoming couples. I just want pond sand. sure the main couple was fine it was a perfectly serviceable ending to their arc such as it was. All in all I enjoyed this episode big smile on my face most of the time.

Secret Love (????) 1-60 of 81 eps - Someone dropped a cut together of episodes one through 60, and I actually quite enjoyed it. It’s a total soap opera and very much a pulp. But I kind of love that right now. Frankly, 1-60 is a completed story arc. If you want that. I will probably watch the whole thing if anybody ever uploads it or it turns up grey anywhere. But this was quite satisfying. Ridiculous but charming fluff about two stepbrothers, who aren’t really stepbrothers, who have loved each other forever and are reunited under trying family circumstances. 7/10 passes the sniff test

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Our Youth AKA Miseinen: Mijukuna Oretachi wa Bukiyo ni Shinkochu (Japan Tues Gaga) ep 7 of 11 - ARGH. The pain. what an absolutely stellar show. I can't believe we are only on ep 7!

See Your Love (Taiwan Weds Gaga) ep 9 of 13 - I love it. This show is fantastic. It’s classic BL, it’s hitting all of the tropes, and it reminds me of some of the best that Taiwan has done in the past. I’m charmed and enjoying it immensely. Taiwan isn’t great on endings so I’m reserving judgment, but what a current highlight to my week. I like these boys so much. Please be kind to me and them, Taiwan?

Eternal Butler (Taiwan Fri Gaga) eps 1-2 of 12 - Ever 4, a sophisticated AI combat robot, becomes the personal butler/bodyguard to Luo Bu Shi, a spoiled yet lonely young heir. And I like it a lot. Odd with a very old fashioned yaoi feel. Also actually kinky (not Thai kinky), I mean it's no JBL but I like it. Dommed into reading = hot. 

Teenager Judge (Vietnam Sat YT) ep 12 of ? - I love our new rescuer, he v cute! Nice addition to the cast. I hope we get more of him. Otherwise, this was more of the same. I’m getting pretty fatigued with this bully stuff at this juncture.

Love in the Air: Koi no Yokan (Japan Sat Gaga) ep 8 end - A lackluster adaptation of some already questionable content, that managed to lose all the limited charm and massive chemistry of the original. It was a mistake to do with less runtime not to mention put both climaxes in the final episode.  Too much all at once. By dividing up the two rescues and keeping them exclusive to their respective couples they highlighted the formulaic nature of the narrative and weakened the foundational friendships. The best thing about the original was the friendships both between the semes and the ukes. By having each boyfriend simply rescue his own boy without help, we didn’t get to see the depth of those friendships at all. For this reason, this installment was weaker than the original. My final feeling at the end was simply “OK whatever” not a ringing endorsement. 7/10 but barely that.

It's airing but......

Spare Me Your Mercy (Thurs iQIYI) ep 5 of 8 - on hold because it went out side genre conventions and I'm not sure what to expect. I'm waiting until it ends, then if safe I will binge.

Be Moon - Falling for my enemy's son (China YT) movie from HBD Studio airing in short bits but I couldn't find any this week.

Winter Is Not The Death of Summer (Thai ???) - has been picked up to air on WeTV, or something? Criminals who meet in prison fall in love. I did find it on YouTube, initially un-subbed, then subs happened by which time I got distracted. The first episode seems to be only six minutes long. It is very pulp. But it is intriguing. For now it's to the wayside until someone tells me it landed safely. Occasionally Thai pulps want to be edgy and it's not a good look on them.

0.5D (Japan ????) 4 eps - Supposedly a completed short. "Sales ace, Sada, has a secret that only his junior, Daiki, knows. He has pretended to have a gf for years, resulting in him being a virgin. But now Sada has fallen in love. Confused, Sada seeks advice from his junior." I sense another queer Cyrano De Bergerac. I can't find and it's good very poor review so Imma stop looking. Info here.

The Renovation (Thai mini One31) 2 eps - Writer turns his blossoming romance with holiday resort owner into a novel. Eh is it worth trying to find?

It Ended But?

Blue Canvas of Youthful Days (China Sun Viki) paused at eps 9-10 of 12 - I have been told the ending is OK if not great. I’m gonna hold off for a bit.

Next Week Looks Like This:

Final still to come:

12/29 Sangmin Dinneaw (Thai ????) ??eps - trailer Childhood friends (Thai & Korean) reunite after being apart for ten years. As the boys reconnect, their bond matures and feelings of romance begin to develop, in Thai.

Impression of Youth (Taiwan ????) ??eps - rumors are this is supposed to start this month.

Upcoming BLs for 2024 are listed here. This list is not kept updated, so please leave a comment if you know something new or RP with additions.

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

10 years later and it's still one of BLs best cuddles (Love Sick)
