The Best Thai BL this spring 2021

omg I want to say so much about this series. its so damn good. being a bl fan for quite many years watching many bls from many countries, I have never felt so involved & connected with a bl from Thailand, at an emotional level, like I did with LW. The matters they subtly yet skilfully touched upon are so important and often neglected. The praiseworthy highlights for me were,

1. Consent, they really perfectly showed the concept of a valid consent in ep.4

2. No to drunk sex

3. Calling out how (generally assumed) feminine traits of men are considered as gay in society

4. That coming out as gay is not a social obligation & people shouldn't jump at labelling someone's sexuality.

5. Toxic shipping/fans invading artists' privacy

6. Kind of calling out unnecessary portrayal/addition of NC scenes in bl dramas/novels for commercial purposes

7. Nubsib always being courteous and asking permission during intimacy with Gene (when they were not yet bfs & even after being official, that guy always make Gene comfortable)

6. The mutual trust between #SibGene

7. The fears and shocks of their parents and how we still need the older generation to accept their kids for who they are, so I didn't mind how (relatively quickly) they all agreed to their relationship. It may seem a bit fast but in a 12 ep drama this is to be expected. Also ig we needed that sort of positivity too, as it's basically a romcom.

8. Love how they showed the inability of some fans/fan culture in bl fandoms as well as other fandoms in general, that they can't distinguish between reality and fantasy, and how it ends up hurting the artists and ruining their personal life/relationships(alot of the times).

9. The real issues that exist with talent companies/TV stations/productions. The way they can be too demanding from the artists.


Furthermore, the kisses are so so real and beautiful, they both are so pro at this, I must say. There are also soft face/hands kisses too which adds alot to the romance & softness. Overall for me, after MaxTul, KaoUp are the best at doing kissing scenes now. No wonder the OST is about kissing too haha. The casting is super perfect. I was familiar with Kao's work before but Up really grabbed my attention as Gene. He played an introvert writer so well, it is so believable, his micro expressions & body language for the awkwardness he feels at times, tho the character is very different from his real self yet he nailed it. Bruce, the actor who played Aey, he did a good job as well, since the character was layered & complicated and not at all easy to play.

[Also one thing I strongly felt, so wanted to get it off my chest is that Aey doing that livestream was also a diss to a specific livestream that happened in the past by an actor. (It may be just me, & I may be totally wrong but it was pretty much the same pattern, the whole crying & all)].

I guess I have written alot here, in the honest conclusion, the series is definitely worth watching and re-watching. And I guess for beginners as well who are reluctant to get into Thai BLs, this is the one series for ya'll!!

Its a romance fr!!!

Okay, so I have been watching the show. This is definitely not bromance to me. Since I have been watching BL for so many years, I can clearly distinguish K&S from what a bromance is supposed to be. There are so many hints in the show about the leads having romantic interests in e/o specially JYL. I admire how nicely Mao Zijun is pulling off this layered character. The set/costumes are very nice. One thing I found a bit annoying is the editing of the show. It feels slightly out of order at times, could have been improved. The story is just fine. I can take both HE & BE but plz these two deserved a HE.

A Visual Feast and you don't have to worry about long eps

Republican era, Opium dealings.. umm I started watching because I really liked the cinematography from the fan edits on social media.. so I went to watch it in 4K and it's so beautiful trust me.. the scenes are beautifully shot and choreographed.. Even though WeTV is kinda slow in updating the English subs(as it's already finished airing on Tencent). I am patiently waiting for this drama to complete. I don't think the story is something very unique or new but the way the story flows is somehow gives off a webtoon feeling. The ML is handsome and his acting is good most of the time, but sometimes it is not. I'll be honest here. But since he is handsome you can give points for that haha .. oh and yes I felt that sometimes he has voice like an audio drama voice actor, the way he spoke some of the dialogues.. The FL .. she did a better job at acting here. She looked beautiful in those pretty dresses. Overall I have enjoyed this drama so far.

The Story is too realistic. Not your burst of sweetness like S1.

I watched all available episodes just today and I am like in awe at where their relationship has headed to. Usually S2 are just a sweet and tangy continuation of S1. But this is a whole 360° to what one can expect or what I had expected. For now it's all SJ's pov and it's freaking heartbreaking for me. But I must admit that this story is very realistic when it comes to difficult human emotions.

SJ is a like an abandoned puppy who has tried literally everything he could for this good for nothing relationship. And I am just sad and frustrated at how JW has been treating him. In S1 when SJ confessed initially, JW spoke of his doubts that SJ might play with his feelings or take this relationship as a child's play, but what JW did to SJ was exactly playing with his feelings for one or so year, using him as a substitute to taste somehting new for a while and then when he was done playing, he left. For 6 episodes if this was SJ's pov then I wanna see JW pov too coz for now he is being nothing but an as*hole.

rn I just want SJ to stop, stop wasting his time and energy on a stupid and arrogant man like JW. I cannot imagine how hard it is for SJ. working, leaving from work and coming to a remote area so far away and then keep getting rejected like a fool. Keep listening to stupid shit like what JW listed as their breakup reasons???? Does JW realise how ridiculously narcissistic and arrogant he himself is? People like SJ are hard to come by, they are like light, but they are also sensitive and alone. JW thinks he is the only lonely person when we already know (from S1) that it was never easy for SJ too. He is also very alone. He also struggled all his life. Just bc he is a star and he is rich doesn't mean he is not sensitive.

Oh god I am just so frustrated at this ill behavior of JW? I really don't care about a happy ending at this point. What I would love is a realistic ending just like how this whole season has been so far. No matter how diplomatic I try to be I still cannot wrap my head around this shitty behaviour toward a lovely person like SJ. It hurt me so much when SJ mentioned that he will change just to be with JW. No baby, in love you don't change, you adapt yourself to your lover likes or dislikes a bit but you still remain what you are.. and it has to be mutual. So no baby, you won't be SJ if you change and that stupid sh*t JW doesn't deserve this hardwork & true emotions of yours.

I wouldn't mind a sad ending but I also would like to see SJ happy whether it is with JW or without him. And I want JW to cry and regret for how shitty he has been to SJ. That's only justified.
