☆*:.｡. Day 15: 5 Bestest besties .｡.:*☆

Oh yes, let’s give it up for friendship! I do love a good friendship, nearly as much as siblings (but just nearly). Thailand I'd say is especially good at that game I feel like. Alright, here's my list!

- Pharm, Team, and Manaow in Until We Meet Again. They are so sweet the three of them, they love and care for each other, and their friendship while new-ish feels so solid and serene, I love them.

- Yamada Koharu from Kabe Koji. I honestly don’t think he could make it without her, she’s always here for him even when he can’t realize it properly. She is a fantastic friend to him all along. Also she is brilliant and hilarious and I love her.

- The two friend groups in Secret Crush on You, really. Especially our group of creative little weirdos, but I love how the two groups have each other’s back, and how they merge too. They’re really sweet and they all love each other which makes me weak in the knee.

- My boy Katori from Takara kun to Amagi kun. He didn’t make it in the Best Boy list (a shame), but he is definitely deserving of a place in this list! He’s always there to help those two (and heavens know they do need a nudge), he always look out for Amagi, and he is just so funny. (my boy is suffering)

- And because we started this game with some OG, I will end it with some OG and go with Yiwha from Together With Me! (the whole group gets it, but I'll put the focus on her). She is just that great, she was probably my favorite character of the show actually. She's just a bestest bestie TM.

And with that we finish the whole challenge! Thank you @negrowhat it was such a fun one =3 (I saw you mention you were planning a GL/QL one, I can't wait ^^)

☆*:.｡. Day 14: Top 5 most sad boys .｡.:*☆

I love a tragedy, I really do (sometimes you just need to have a good cry) so I was reaaaaally excited about this list.

- Korn from Until We Meet Again. I'll kickstart the list with probably my favorite of all the sad boys BL gave me. It's the tragedy of him knowing it can't end well, the weight he carries all the time, and despite all that, the love he has for his brothers, the love he has for In. I just love him beyond words.

- Mitsuru from Eien no Kinou. Even before everything happens, Mitsuru is sad, and alone. This show is such a beautiful and gentle story about grief and I love both Mitsuru and Koichi so very dearly.

- Nut from The Miracle of Teddy Bear. I guess you could argue he is more angry, but imo he does fall under the Sad Boy umbrella. He is desperately fighting through grieving a father who never loved him and a mother not yet gone but clearly not fully there anymore, through his whole family history and his own heartache. He is carrying such sadness all the time.

- Nekoyashiki from Kabe Koji who qualifies perfectly. He is so entrenched in self doubt, self isolation in a way, he is sad in different ways from the others in this list but still. Still.

- Shi Jaewoo from Once Again (yes Moon Jiyong again don't look at me). He is such a sad, burdened young man stuck in a grey world, and the entire tragedy of his story in this broke my heart ngl. He is so sad, and so good, he deserves his place here.

#BLChallenge2k24 #Until We Meet Again #Eien no kinou #The Miracle of Teddy Bear #kabe koji nekoyashiki kun desires to be recognized #Once Again the series #they're all very sad and i love them all so much

☆*:.｡. Day 13: Give 5 good boys a gold star .｡.:*☆

I love lists, so it's great. I am so bad at lists, so it's really hard too lol

- Suh Yechan from Love Tractor. Is there any better Good Boy than Certified Golden Retriever Boy Yechan?? I think not. He deserves at least two gold stars imo.

- Tian from To Sir, With Love. He’s just the goodest boy, never did anything bad in his life, love his family even when they barely deserve it, just wants to be respected and happy. 100/10 no notes.

- Woo Seunghyun from The New Employee. Absolute cinnamon roll, adorable, cute, never did anything wrong in his life, cheeks to die for, gold star for him. (may have to do in part with the actor, who also was a fantastically good - if terribly sad - boy in Once Again)

- Ichijo Sota from Zenra Meshi. He’ll forever be my favorite blade of tall grass, and despite sometimes being the most awkward man alive, he was also trying so hard to understand and make things right!! A good boy for sure.

- Ye Xingsi from History 4: Close to You. Sweetest man, loved his friend and his family so much, deserved so much better than the hand he was dealt in that show. Big gold star for him.

#BLChallenge2k24 #Love Tractor #Khun Chai #The New Employee the series #Zenra Meshi #History 4: Close to you #I tried not to just go with shows I talked about already #to change it up a little #(sorry to Pharm especially my sweet boy) #but like I could not NOT put Tian #(also there is a whole version of history 4 in my head where the show is actually about Xingsi ending up with his best friends #because i do whatever i want =3)

☆*:.｡. Day 12: Wedding you wish you had an invite to .｡.:*☆

Oh, I do love a wedding. I’d go to all of them if I could. My picks are from Thailand in part because they do friends groups in a way that calls to me, and I would feel too awkward to intrude on more… family oriented ones (as I could imagine for JBL for example).

First answer that comes to mind would be Dean and Pharm from Until We Meet Again. First, I love them dearly and after everything they went through it would feel very lovely to see them get to celebrate this with the ones they love. I also like to imagine that the remnant of Korn and In’s souls would get to see them able to do that commitment to each other in a way they didn’t ever got to in their life, and it would be just… I kind of want that for them. Also, let’s be honest, the food would be BOMB and I would be fully here for that please and thank you.

Okay, my second choice is a little from left field based on the fact that I am not super into them, but I will pick Tonhon and Chonlatee from their self titled show. Look. Listen. Between both their families and their group of friends, it would be delightfully chaotic and I can’t imagine the whole thing being anything but a load of over dramatic fun and I am super into that. So, I’d love an invitation for this one for sure.

#BLChallenge2k24 #Until We Meet Again #Tonhon Chonlatee #I'd also love to see Toh and Nuea's wedding from SCOY because once again #would certainly be a TRIP #but I used SCOY a few times already so time for others to shine I say

☆*:.｡. Day 11: Breakup that should have stayed broken up .｡.:*☆

Okay, my main problem for this one was that I didn’t have it in me to go back to some of those shows to double check that they actually do get together/break up/make up but I tried to the best of my recollection. If I got them wrong. well… know I really didn’t want them together.

I will say Yi and Kondiao in Cutie Pie who I think fit the bill on technicality (I have not watched their spin-off series but I do not believe it would warm me up to them). Look, there is nothing that worked for me there. Yi refuses the engage with Kondiao with the stubbornness of a mule on a bad day and for what. Despite the explanations the show provided, there was never a single moment where I could fathom them managing to make their way toward a relationship. There was no trust there, no communication, no sharing of anything, and frankly they always only seemed held together by guilt and responsibility (no matter how hard they tried to make me believe otherwise) and while this could definitely make for a good premise (I do love an arranged marriage that blossom into love), the spark was never there for me.

I am going to throw Pi and Mork from Fish Upon the Sky out there too, tho I have no confidence they do actually get together before the end. I do not like the dynamic in that relationship at all and, sorry to say and despite Pi being a brat (which I do like), is all on Mork’s writing for me. There is no reciprocity between them, Mork keeps secrets, decides what is best for Pi and doesn’t stop pushing until Pi relent, trample all over the limits Pi tries to set up, and while I can enjoy a persistent LI this was just SO MUCH. Keep these two apart.

And then, as a little bonus and because I mentioned the show in an earlier ask so I thought of them, Bon and Duen in My Engineer. I do think they could make it work, ultimately, but MAN we were NOT there by the time they get back together at the end of the show. They both had a lot of work to do on themselves before even thinking of getting back into that, and giving themselves time apart would have been a good idea.

#BLChallenge2k24 #Cutie Pie the series #Fish Upon the Sky #My Engineer the series #I will be honest halfway through into cutie pie I was only there for the Syn/Nuer show #but Yi and Kondiao were even less pleasant for me than Lian and Kuea so they get the spotlight #it's been a long time tho since I powered through a show where I don't want the characters to end together to that point #so

☆*:.｡. Day 10: Most emotionally pleasing love scene .｡.:*☆

Okay, this one is going to be easy and feature a recent show: the last time Jom and Yai have sex in I Feel You Linger in the Air. Was is so sad it brought me to tears? Yes. But it felt so satisfying emotionally because it was just so good, tonally made perfect sense for where they were in their story, beautifully acted with such a smart use of flashbacks and sound, I just… It was truly a powerful scene and I loved every single teary minute of it.

I will also give a nod to Sky and Jao’s love scene in Secret Crush on You (yes again), particularly the little negotiation that comes right before it. It was a nice resolution to the push and pull they have going on during the show, Sky getting his Consent King’s card, that little ‘if it’s tasty, come eat often…’, the pink lighting of Jao letting Sky in … I can turn a blind eye to the teeth-opening of the condom. I just really like it.

☆*:.｡. Day 9: Most visually pleasing love scene .｡.:*☆

Hmm this one is a little difficult somehow, I'm dithering on what 'visually' means exactly (pretty to look at, obviously, but like. how much of the actor being pretty factor in? I spent too long thinking about that).

Alright let's start recent and go with Phaya and Tharn in The Sign, particularly that bit in the shower. I am definitely not immune to neon lighting so that was definitely a plus - generally the colors and the lights in that whole scene were extremely pleasing to the eye.

My second choice also features Billy Patchanon I realize lol and it's not fully a love scene but I'm not above cheating again, it's that whole kissing/make out scene between Toh and Nuea in Secret Crush on You. It's less ... visually daring I guess that my first pick (or that their bathtub scene) but I love this one so much. I love how soft it looks, the contrast between fully clothed Toh and Nuea in that small bathrobe, the way the light is on them, and of course the focus on how their hands move (yeah of course I am even less immune to hands than to neon lights).

#BLChallenge2k24 #The Sign the series #Secret Crush on You #I spent SO long on this one #probably once this one post I will have thought of like #10 other scenes I could have picked instead #but here we go! frustration for future me

☆*:.｡. Day 8: The trope you hate except when it’s “this series” .｡.:*☆

Alright, I thought about this one long and hard because for every trope I hate I could think of at least one or two shows I really like that used it … I have the resolve of a wet towel. So, with the knowledge that I can be convinced of nearly anything if the writing and/or acting holds…

Bully romance and Utsukushii Kare. It’s a difficult trope for me to enjoy, the line after which I can’t believe in any kind of forgiveness (let alone romance) is very easily crossed - I made it an episode and a half through A Shoulder to Cry On – and I am not fond of a mean love interest. That is the reason it took me so long to give Utsukushii Kare a chance actually. But somehow, this one just works. It works because both of them have a kinda fucked up way of approaching their relationship, because the bullying stays light and because it never pretends to be anything other than what it is, somehow.

This one I usually see in het romances but I will still plug it in: a love triangle involving siblings, and You’re My Sky. I have something with siblings (in case I was not vocal enough about it around here), and while I have no problem with siblings hating each other or whatever, but this set up just… I don’t like it, and I generally feel like it’s not given the weight it should, one way or another. What I like in You’re My Sky is that it took its premise seriously. Vee and his sister love each other, and that is a fucked up situation to be in, and that is never brushed off. I find it handled really well, I love how they decided to conclude the story, and I did love the way Pan comes back to her brother about it.

… I guess mostly, more than hated tropes, it’s their mishandling that I hate?? makes it a little off-topic but I’ll do better for the next one (ง ื▿ ื)ว

☆*:.｡. Day 7: Fave villain .｡.:*☆

Oh I do love a good villain! Recently I have been very taken by Dr. Chalothorn in The Sign. I love a twisted, self righteous villain who thinks he’s in the right and has no qualm with being a vicious, manipulating motherfucker, so you bet I loved the good doctor. I also liked that he was a love rival, but he was also straight up in there to kill some mythological bird. As you do. Plus, you know, Heng Asavarid did an incredible job with it, offering high quality sneering, so I can’t not pick him.

While most of them are ridiculously one dimensional and so make for surprisingly weak villains, I will also pick one Faen Fatale (who was never a Faen): Cherry from Unforgotten Night. It’s not that she’s better written (definitely not) or really that much more interesting than other representatives of the stereotype, but I have a fondness for her. She’s a little pathetic, she shows glimpses of a kinder nature than you’d expect, and I guess I think Ging just ate up the role in a very funny way (yes I also find her very handsome). Plus, because Kim can be bitchy and is never really threatened by her, romantically, their interactions were actually kinda fun.

#BLChallenge2k24 #The Sign the series #Unforgotten Night #was Unforgotten Night good? no #do I like it tho? yeah actually lol #and I just love Ging I can't WAIT for her GL let me tell you
