And that was darling. @absolutebl More gay marriage and family acceptance and love! It was definitely predictable but cute and fluffy and exactly what I wanted from AiLongNhai.
Nhai (KRITTANUN AUNCHANANUN aka PING) thinks he is losing Ai (NICHAKOON KHAJORNBORIRAK aka MEEN) but with the help of Tonhon, Nhai is determined to prove he loves Ai.
No honor to the crumbs. No Chonlatee or the others. Just Ai, Nhai, Ai's Dads and Tonhon.
Ai to Nhai: Will You Marry Me? And Let's Grow Old Together.
Not Nhai whining and being worried Ai will break up with him, as he's literally walking the wedding engagement isle, dressed in white suit Ai prepared for him lol.
hi!! somewhere in the middle of last year i asked you about which bls came out in 2023, and you very helpfully provided a list of series names, thank you again!! it wasn't the whole list since we were only halfway through 2023 back then, so would you mind sharing the full list of bls that came out in 2023, now that the year is over, please? and maybe a list of bls that came out in 2022 too, if you have time?

I speed watched Ai Long Nhai in one day fam. Ai and Nhai are really, really cute but everyone is right when they say nothing much goes on. There are hints to like 3 side couples and literally nothing happens. I got to the point where I was actually skipping scenes that didn't have Ai and Nhai in them together. This was def a one-time-only watch, I will never get the urge to rewatch this series lol. But the chemistry between Meen and Ping is on point and Ai is my favorite, but Nhai was mildly annoying but not annoying enough for me to dislike him lol. Take this information as a rec or non-rec depending on your mood lol. But if you do watch it def watch it on Viki because the subs on IQIYI are still awful...but I think IQIYI is the only platform with the special ep.
Awe good thank you for this! 🙏🏽 I will always be overly tempted by gifsets… 🙈 Now I will probably still watch it but not have my expectations set too high. lol
Dang I usually love side couples too…
I honestly think I just want more of MeenPing and am too impatient to wait for new episodes of My Dear Gangster Oppa~

❣️ The Eclipse - putting this one on here again for the third time in a row lmao but idc. what a masterpiece. episodes 6-8 were off the charts and I’m so in awe of everything this production is achieving, both in terms of acting and script. Incredible. nuff said.
👎🏻 We’ve all rambled about this more than enough but Mike getting replaced by Fluke has to be the most ridiculous thing ever like? I still can’t believe it. Nothing about this makes sense and I doubt that him and Krusty will have any kind of chemistry. I’m still waiting for them to say syke. I guess I’ll keep an open mind but it’s just ridiculous lol.

Okay, this special episode is already adorable and awkward in all the ways I love Ai Long Nhai and I adore them all. I've just started and I don't even care, they're all tiny idiots and adorable and this show never needed to be deep.

I was not expecting an Ai Long Nhai special today, but I’ll take it. Still kind of stressed about Bed Friend and the Krit situation. In case you’re wondering, the plot is that Nhai gets so hangry he says something he regrets (okay and then there’s romantic stuff).
I can't exactly remember when I first started watching BL (seems like years!) but I began making a record of what I'd watched from around July 2022. First it was to just write down what I'd seen. Then it was other details, like country, ep count and some deets to help me remember it. I also marked them by excellence, rewatch value or UGH (aka weird, stupid, terrible).
So here’s my stats month-by-month:
