Because your opinion means a lot: Any chance you feel like sharing 5 upcoming BLs you're most excited about and why? And maybe as a bonus, something you think many BL watchers will love but that you will hate?

Ooooo, how exciting what a fun one. You sure you want this from me? I have very odd taste.

The 5 Upcoming BLs I'm Most Excited About

(this forced me to put together the 2024 Announced BLs list which is coming soon)

1 Spare Me Your Mercy

Increased rates of deaths in terminal patients has a police captain investigating the palliative care doctor with whom he's fallen in love. Their relationship deepens but the mystery persists, driven by mistrust.

Why? It's adapted from the novel Euthanasia by Sammon (Triage, Manner of Death) but more important, it stars some old guard BL actors: Tor Thanapob from Hormones as the doctor and (fuck me YES) Jaylerr from Great Men Academy and goddamn Grean Fictions as the captain!

2 Wandee Godday

GMMTV and AllThis Entertainment producing a very pulp offering with new pair, GreatInn doing high heat, boxer meets surgeon. It features a one night stand, fake relationship, and all the cheesiest of tropes. Also features Drake, Podd, and Thor+ pretty boy (be still my heart).

Why? This is totally my kind of BL even if it isn't GMMTV's style of BL, and it's GREAT, so I'm in.

3 The Next Prince (ZeeNew)

Domundi brings us more ZeeNew in a fantasy/historical set in a palace where Zee plays a knight and Nu a prince - YES PLEASE.

Why? I did not expect this pair to stick so I really hope this happens. Give us the Little Pink Riding Milk BL we deserve!

4 Lover Merman

Fantasy BL about a man who falls in love with a merman.

Why? I don't think it will be good but I LOVE merfolk.

5 Me and Who

Domundi for WeTV brings this adaptation of Wickedwish’s novel of the same name. It depicts a young man who dies and is reborn into the body of a billionaire heir. The heir happens to be engaged to a handsome man.

Why? I flipping LOVE this trope but I never expected to see it drive a BL.

10 I am cautious of but VERY intrigued

JAPAN'S Although I Love You and You AKA Sukiyanen Kedo Do Yaro ka

From YTV releasing 1/11 about Soga, who, after a divorce and relocation to Osaka, seeks solace in dining at 26-year-old Sakae's restaurant. Unbeknownst to Soga, Sakae sees him as more than just a regular customer.

TAIWAN's Love For Love's Sake

Based on the Manhwa Love Supremacy Zone by Hwacha, this will star actors Lee Tae Vin, Cha Jun Wan, Oh Min Su and Cha Woon Ki. The plot of the drama is based on Tae Myung Ha, a young man who is dropped into a game based off of a novel that he knows. His mission is to make another player, Cha Yeo Woon happy. Cha Yeo Woon is Myung-Has favourite character in the novel. But then the game starts going completely different from the novel.

City of Stars AKA Fueangnakorn

Star Hunter started filming this 12/23 about an actor falls in love with a programmer and the narrative intends to “explore the ramifications of being public figure in the social network era who must endure critics, bullying, and defamation.” Looks like another Lovely Writer, Call It What You Want sort of thing.

My Stand-In AKA My Stand In

Chinese IP ALERT! Adapted from the novel Professional Body Double (职业替身) by Shui Qiang Cheng (水千丞) stars Up (Lovely Writer) and Poom (Bake Me Please).

OMG Vampire AKA OMG! Vampire (LeeFrank)

Frank and Lee Long Shi are back only vampires now. So many vampires.

The Rebound (MeenPing)

VIU Basketball based romance staring Meen (a national basketball player, so yay for that).

We Are (PondPhuwin)

GMMTV's university friendship Bl featuring PondPhuwin, WinnySatang, AouBoom, MarcPawin - basically ALL in the good kind of messy friendship group (so more My Engineer and less Only Friends). Looks a bit like the Kiss series but everyone is gay. I'm IN! Trailer here.

Love Upon a Time (NetJames)

Domundi announced for 6/7/2023 then delayed to 2024. NetJames in a historical BL! Also feat Tonnam (Dr Sing from Triage).

Jack & Joker (YinWar)

DeHup brings us be gay, do crimes. Yin, War, Mark and a few other familiar faces doing Leverage but gayer. Yes, thank you, I will have that.

My Love Mix-Up Thai Remake (GemniForth)

GMMTV. Hum, well I do love this pair and I did like the original and maybe this time these characters will actually kiss? I'm actually fine with this pick-up. I kind of enjoy seeing different countries remake the same IP. Especially if it's IP I'm mostly unfazed by.

FAKE BOYFRIENDS MY ASS

[dropthedemiurge]

Upd. Yokee confirmed the input of an asexual character was deliberate as they wanted to showcase different stories revoliving around sex and Thai BLs don't have enough representation on ace people, and Drake added that it was a good job of writers, he studied asexuality for the first time after getting this character and so I'm glad to see both crew, writers and actors treating the representation so seriously 🥺 It feels so nice.

I can't believe I didn't want to watch Wandee Godday series at all because it didn't seem like my type of the story but I appreciated that it was made by The Eclipse team + it seemed to be like the only series where Drake my beloved starred in a small role. BUT THEN! BUT NOW!

THEY HAVE AN OPENLY ACE CHARACTER! CONFIRMED BY THE ACTUAL TERMS! IN THE VERY FIRST EPISODE! AND HE'S PLAYED BY DRAKE MOTHERQUACKER LAEDEKE!

Please, please, please don't fuck it up. We've been hurt before. I really don't like when characters start 'I don't want to have relationship with someone/sleep with someone' and the entire point of the series is to change them completely, give them a partner and make the story about how wrong they were for being so stubborn. So many series have done that, in a more or less hurtful way.

But idk, I guess I have to start watching Wandee Godday because the proper aspec representation in Thai BLs is almost non-existent. The Eclipse team, I like you, please don't betray my trust xD Explore any and every situation you like but give this character justice. I don't know him and I'm already ready to fight for him.

[rubinrotegwenny]

Yayy, finally there is an asexual character in a BL! 🖤🤍💜 Let's hope we'll get some good representation!

Also: Plakhao is such a cutie! 🥰

[prapaiwife]

Starting finale for wandee! Yeah so yak's trauma is him not being there for his mom's last moments and that's what haunts him which we figured last episode but he's now telling Dee said I thought kao erased it in you, well he didn't even tell kao what was going on so...and now he's saying that thought he could manage it but now he's not sure.

WANDEE GODDAY (2024) EP. 1

[absolutebl]

GMMTV 2024 BL Line Up

Ranked by the ones I'm most excited about at the top.

We Are

adaptation from a y-novel, stars PondPhuwin (yay! I didn't think they'd be back) - Trailer | MDL

University friendship BL featuring PondPhuwin, WinnySatang, AouBoom, MarcPawin - basically ALL the pairs, in the good kind of messy friendship group (so more My Engineer and less Only Friends). Looks a bit like the Kiss series but everyone is gay. I'm IN!

Only Boo

Trailer

New main couple in an idol romance about a boy who dances good and a food stand vendor. Other side of the tracks, grumpy/sunshine pair who fall deeply in love but, of course, to become an idol baby boy can't date. Boyband but from GMMTV? Control your singing and I'm game.

Wandee Godday

Trailer

AllThis Entertainment producing a very pulp offering for GMMTV with new pair GreatInn doing high heat boxer meets surgeon. It features a one night stand, fake relationship, and all the cheesiest of tropes. Also features Drake, Podd, and Thor+ pretty boy (be still my heart). This is totally my kind of BL even if it actually isn't GMMTV's style of BL, so I'm intrigued.

(That's Inn from The Miracle of Teddy Bear and Great from Manner of Death. Yes. That Great)

My Love Mix-Up (Thai Remake)

stars Gem4 - Trailer

Hum, well I do love this pair and I did like the original and maybe this time these characters will actually kiss? I'm actually fine with this pick-up. I kind of enjoy seeing different countries remake the same IP. Especially if it's IP I'm unfazed by.

The Trainee

stars OffGun - Trailer

Is this BL? It's looks like a remake of The New Employee. I'm not upset by this idea.

My Golden Blood

Trailer

Okay, I do find Joss very watchable but this looks very bad and also very like Kissable Lips. But at least Thailand is finally giving us the trashy gay vampires we richly deserve?

Ossan‘s Love (Thai Remake)

stars EarthMix? - Not Trailer

I actually do not have the words to describe how much I HATE THIS IDEA.

There it is, I'm not upset at this line up (except Ossan's Love). I'm not impressed either.

I do find it curious all the ones that are missing tho.

No Tay. Oops I missed the weird Haunted House ON SALE TayNew bromance? whatever that is.

No Perth.

No FirstKhao!!! Not at all. Not even separated.

No JoongDunk (they show up separated).

No ForceBook (I saw Book in one thing, no Force tho).

No JimmySea (again they showed up separated).

2024 gonna be weird ya'all, I'm calling it now.

BL is entering the "experimental" part of the genre evolution arc.

There's supposed to be a Part 2 line up, but honestly how many of these will actually happen at this rate? Anygay, I'll update this when they do whatever it is they're doing.

Note: Most of the Only Friends cast was sparse in these trailers. I think they were busy filming at the time these trailers were being cut, and that's why we see so little of them.

Me @ Dr Ter

[jimmysea]

If it hurts much, come here alone next time. I won't accompany you. But you're not just here to accompany me. You're here as my sweetheart. You certainly have a way with words. Let's get you the third shot right away. No doc, don't. The third HPV shot can wait, but right now..

WANDEE GODDAY (2024) - Episode 8

[almayver]

The Wandee Godday set has lost the plot

[hermioneismyrealname]

I love how 2024 BL has us all advocating for violence towards assholes. A growing list. Ming and Tong from my stand in... Dr. Ter from wandee godday... And now....

This gigolo

Please let him get decked. He deserves it.

Vicariously watching Wandee Godday through tumblr posts just to know how my funky boy Kao is doing

[killiru]

I don't know what the best thing about the first episode of Wandee Godday was, but besides the Ace representation, the "the-eclipse-and-chill" moment and the fact that Wandee lives in room 609 (thanks P'Golf for all the references), I still think I need to emphasise how great the characters are in this show? They are such derps? We're on episode 1 and I feel like I already have a characterisation for most of the people? I'm sure it's partly because I've already read the novel, but the support roles in particular were barely thematised in the original book and have now been given character traits already and that's just...awesome? I love my characters alive and fleshed out lol. I'm looking forward to Wandee's grandma next episode and more content from Cherry and Oye!
