BL ~ Drama Asks

I was tagged by @gunsatthaphan​. Thank you so much, these questions are super interesting. 💜

1. If you had to watch one drama forever what would it be?

Uhm. Tbh I’m not much of a rewatcher, at least not very often, so this feels like some elaborate method of torture lmao

Maybe The Miracle of Teddy Bear because it’s super long with a lot of different storylines so it won’t be boring (until it kills me dead in the last ep).

Or maybe Gen Y because lmao lmao at least it’s entertaining 🤡

2. If you could change the ending of a drama which one would it be?

If there won’t be another season of Kinnporsche I’d just want some closure for KimChay. It doesn’t even necessarily have to be a happily ever after, just something more than crying alone in a room that isn’t even Chay’s room (he looked so lonely and trapped 😭) with a future that’s uncertain. And don’t even get me started on Kim.

Also, I need to see Korn lose. 😒

3. Name your favorite drama and tell who your favorite character was.

I can’t choose, I have so many and they change so often. 😭

I have a soft spot for Our Days and Mon is definitely one of my favourite characters. I have so much love for everyone involved in this production in general. 💜💜

Other than that, there’s Teh (ITSAY & IPYTM), Bar (En of Love, Love Mechanics), Toh (SCOY), Ae (Love By Chance), Prakan (Dear Doctor) aaand I want to say Kim (Kinnporsche) but there simply wasn’t enough of him in the show to count as a fave lmao

4. Name a drama you dropped within the first few episodes ~ we all have at least one!

Right now, it’s Check Out. I love Best Vittawin so, so much, but I can’t watch this. I can’t. I’m too weak. I’m sorry, Best, I failed you. 💀

5. Name a popular drama you've never watched and why?

You’re my Sky & Light On Me. Idk the stars just weren’t aligned, I guess. Maybe I’ll pick them up later when my watchlist isn’t as full (yeah, right lmao).

6. Name a drama you regret watching.

Hm. Maybe the second part of Love Area? I had a soft spot for the first half and I love Kaitoon as a character (and his actor too - I hope he’s going to be in another drama eventually) but wtf was that? I didn’t even mind the open/bad ending. Sometimes things just don’t work out and sometimes people are just toxic for each other but... make it make sense, at least! What’s with all of these side characters? Why did you underutilise Jeff Satur? Why did the screenwriters hate Nont so much? And the sound editing and continuity were really rough all of a sudden.

7. Name a drama you thought you’d never watch but did and did you end up liking it?

Uh. Probably 2Moons2. I read about the controversies before I watched the show and I was prepared to hate it but then I didn’t. I actually really liked it (for what it was... I mean, it isn’t a masterpiece or anything lmao).

8. Name a pairing you want to see?

Prom Ratchapat & Mark Siwat. They better deliver on that cameo because now I’m invested!

Also, Mos Panuwat & Bank Mondop because I love their travel vlogs so much. Actual hearteyes, they’re so 💜💜💜

And Perth Nakhun & Nodt Nutthasid because we all need at least one ghostship. 🤡

9. Name a pairing you didn’t think had chemistry?

Thanu & Wayu in Gen Y. What even was that? Like, what was the goal there? Was I too hung up on Thanu/Phai and Pha/Wayu to see it? I feel like if they had just allowed the actors to use their natural chemistry (like it shone through in the funny scenes) everything would have been fine but instead they just stared at each other during their “romantic scenes” and managed to convey not a single emotion that way. AND PHA DIED FOR WHAT? 😤

Also, Best Vittawin and Chahub Marut. They just don’t work for me tbh but it could just be that Check Out is so ?? ???

10. Name a pairing you have seen in another drama that you like?

Uh, as in - a drama I haven’t watched but where I like the pairing? Or a pairing that’s been in several dramas?

Idk I’m confused but I think Jame Kasama & Jet Jetsadakorn are Starhunter’s best acting pair and it’s time they realised that and gave them another show (Big can come too, as a treat). 

I’m tagging: @thii-nii @placetneplacet @nongnao @singharit @liyazaki @smittenskitten @machikeita @florbexter @boun-prem @absolutebl (no pressure, of course 💜) and whoever else wants to do this (pls feel free to tag me, too, I’m super curious!)

tagged by @teamsarawatshusband​ thank u hun ♥

• Your top five BLs (in no particular order)

Where your eyes linger

YYY

2gether

Theory of Love

Gameboys

(if ramking had its own drama, it would definitely be up there but as it is, i don’t care enough about the other pairings in My Engineer to do so)

• Favorite non-BL series

adapted from a BL novel but not technically a BL because of chinese censorship laws: The Untamed.

• Favorite OST

i usually love soundtracks but i can’t say that BLs have caught my attention on that front. some are even pretty kitsch (usually saxo themes make me lose it). i know i said it’s not a BL, but can i just answer The Untamed again?

• Favorite couple

hands down, Ramking from My Engineer

but i also have a soft spot for Teamwin from Until we meet again 

• Your favorite ghostship

Earnpear from 2gether

• Favorite actor

Talay is a dumbass and i love him

• Favorite character

i kinda feel like we all need a king in our lives. i love how he managed to get close to ram despite how guarded, aloof and distant ram can seem (or maybe because of it) ; how he’s genuinely caring and attentive, respecting ram’s limits and apologizing when he did something wrong. he’s just really precious.

honourable mentions: pearl from Gameboys and two from Theory of love

• Actor you have a crush on

i don’t really have crushes on celebrities, but i’ll say this: perth nakhun is the softest boy, and watching his youtube videos always puts a stupid smile on my face.

• First BL

Tharntype. Kind of a miracle it wasn’t the last one too.

• An unpopular opinion of yours 

i think we all know how problematic BLs can be... i try to keep in mind that it’s a different culture and it’s not my place to judge, but they’re clearly written by straight people for straight people, and despite the focus being on gay men it’s so often blatantly homophobic i’m sometimes not sure whether watching them is more comforting or more upsetting. that being said, i’m not a gay man, but as a lgbt person i take what i can get in terms of representation, and sometimes i just want a cheesy queer love story (i really hope we’ll get more wlw dramas too).

• A pet-peeve of yours

pft. i have too many to list them but here are a few:

- everything dubcon/noncon (in general, but in BLs it really contributes to that toxic stereotype that homosexuals are predators and can’t keep it in their pants)

- miscommunication and issues that could so easily be solved IF ONLY THEY TALKED SDFHDG

- incest

- girls being introduced only to cause trouble in a couple (love triangles, jealousy, basically being either a rival or just a bad bitch) - also, fujoshi characters objectifying gay men.

- gay relationships written in a very heteronormative way (the whole “husband/wife” and “top/bottom” thing, with the “wife/bottom” being the emotive, shy, fragile one and the “husband/top” the strong, protective, pushy one etc)

- toxic behaviours being romanticized

• Your favorite type of pairing

enemies to lovers is definitely a fav, but i also love ships where one is grumpy/distant and the other one is all sunshine and puppies

• Favorite declaration of love

so many were sweet and some very funny (i absolutely loved that Love Actually parody scene in Theory of Love) but i’m a sucker for a good “angst that culminates in a passionate kiss” scenes so yeah, Ramking owns my heart again.

• What you are currently watching

eh, too many things... Quaranthings, Love by chance 2, Still2gether, Oxygen, and i just finished Gameboys and The reason why he fell in love with me.
