You're in filmmaking and working on your big dream BL production, your writer is one of the best, you got decent budget, interested sponsors, a great director, a professional crew. Now, you gotta cast your actors, the mains and maybe a sidedish. Who would you chose and why? Which criteria would you apply for example age, appearance, acting style, experience, ability to create chemistry, on-screen charisma, name recognizability? Which actors would you pair and why? Make it country specific.

MY ULTIMATE FANTASY CAST + BL MASTERPIECE!

If I could have any BL in the world. What would I pick? 

I kinda already did this here: 

TOP 10 BL PAIRS + What They Should Play Next - I chose SamYu for the gay Descendants of the Sun, but you threw the door wide open on this one so I am pushing it. (I also did Crazy BL Actor Pairing I'd Love to See ) 

I hold by those picks but I’ll reboot the game a little. 

Now, you gotta cast your actors, the mains and maybe a sidedish. Who would you chose and why?

(SamYu - We Best Love) in a Taiwanese production of Hospital Playlist. 

So Hospital Playlist is a true ensemble piece with 5 leads, but the anchor relationship would be these two. In case you were in any possible doubt as to my ultimate bias.

(L-R: prudish pediatrician, arrogant heart surgeon, comedic general surgeon, neurotic OBGYN, warm & brilliant neurosurgeon) 

Hospital Playlist is not just one of my favorite Kdramas, it’s one of my favorite dramas of all time. I love a medical drama, it has multiple solid romances all ending happily, it’s about older characters, there are complex stories and GREAT side characters, food is vitally important, and it’s ultimately extremely comforting. It’s sadly het, tho. 

So I want Taiwan to do the queer version. And I want it to get the proper treatment the way Taiwan sometimes does with their het stuff, like full on 20-30 episodes. 

Hospital Playlist only it’s 5 queer surgeons, paired as follows: 

Sam plays the funny single dad general surgeon (his husband left him alone with their adopted son, yadda yadda) 

Yu is the kind hearted brilliant neuroscientist. I’d like to see him play a warm nerdy character for a change. 

(Spoiler, these two characters are already besties who once moot-pined and eventually end up together.) 

Lin Yu (OuWen from Love is Science) plays is the arrogant heart surgeon. Of COURSE HE DOES. Slayed by the military boy in the end, of course. Honestly we can pair him with Anderson Cheng again as Sam’s younger brother, but I’m not married to that pairing. 

The OBGYN has to be our neurotic chaos bi character (that comedy writes itself) and I would cast Bruce He in the role. Because, he has dimples and I love him in everything and I am shallow af. He can have all the crazy exes up the wazoo. That’d be fun. I don not care who he ends up with. 

I’d turn the rich prude pediatrician character into a lesbian who I want played by Aviis Zhong, because she hasn’t played enough lesbians yet. Never enough lesbians. 

I want her slow pining desperate younger love interest (AGE GAP!) to be played by Tannie Huang (DNA Says Love You bestie). I think they would kill it. 

I want the older administrator of the hospital adopted lesbian mom of the group to be Tammy Darshana Lai (Encore Martha). And I want her to be having her own life, quandaries and relationships. 

Which criteria would you apply for example age:

I’d like it to be older characters in general. I love a high school drama but I’d like something more relatable to me, and more meaty for the actors to sink into, where being queer is there, and important, but there’s other life shit going on (ex spouses, children, career hiccoughs, side interests and hobbies). 

Clearly I’m picking all over the place on actual actor ages, but the main characters would all be in their late 30s at least. The support cast of residents and students and patients so forth would be many other ages. 

I’d like the Love is Science? team to direct (Tsai Mi Chieh & Chang Chin Jung). 

Appearance, acting style, experience, ability to create chemistry, on-screen charisma, name recognizability? 

I want mostly pretty because, as already mentioned, I shallow af. But I also want broad queer rep and diversity. So trans characters, butch, femme, various creeds and colors, all of them - in complex, capable professional doctor roles and positions of power. I want it to look like the Philippines vomited queer rep on this hospital. 

It’s my fantasy medical drama, I’ll queer it up if I wanna. 

I think Taiwan in general has a realistic, highly physical, slightly comedic acting style that would suit Hospital Playlist very well. (Probubly better than Korea’s style did, quite frankly.)

All the actors I chose (but Yu) are experienced and established. I think Avis and Bruce are big enough names for major draw. And SamYu as a pair are a big enough deal to pull the BL audience in spades. A show like this could take off international well and easily. Authentic queer rep is one of Taiwan’s strengths and this kind of show could showcase that for truly broad appeal, like Asia’s version of Queer as Folk, only a million times BETTER. 

Did I sell you on it?

The Post-Truth World

Movies watched in 2023

The Post-Truth World (2022, Taiwan)

Director: Chen I-Fu

Writer: Nai-Ching Yeh

Mini-review:

The Post-Truth World is a well acted, solid thriller. It's not brilliant by any means, but it's entertaining enough and it makes some great point about how far the media is willing to go in order to get views. That being said, I didn't like the final part, cause I think it took the easy way out and the ending turned out rather underwhelming. The cast is great, though, and it carries the movie through its weakest points.

Aviis Zhong heads an international cast of bored rich kids in this Dutch vampire movie - “Dead & Beautiful” (2021).

Five friends have too much money and time of their hands. They begin playing a version of “double dare” which eventually leads them into performing an arcane ritual… the result? Fangs!

You did a post earlier about BL actors you would love to see together in a BL, but I would love to see actresses you would love to see do a GL together!

Ooooo, what a GREAT question.

Actresses I'd Love To See Do GL! 

Jan Ployshompoo (SOTUS, Cupid’s Last Wish) + Mild Lapassalan (3 Will Be Free, Dark Blue Kiss) 

Why? They are both super charismatic and likable, they could do a great take on a Bad Buddy style premise. Enemies to lovers kind of thing. 

Gigie Chanunphat (2gether) + Jamie Juthapich (Baker Boys, Kiss Me Again) 

These two are very different in terms of style and screen appeal, I could see them doing something cutthroat and edgy set in the fashion or tech industry. 

Tanshi Bumrungkit (Together with Me) + Momo Pawarisa (La Cuisine) 

What, it’s me? Of course I’m picking an age gap. And you know I want it to be older sister’s best friend trope. I’m thinking lots of pining and child hood crush etc... Ooo, could we push into teacher’s pet territory? Eh, too kinky, better leave that to Japan. 

Fah Wisansaya (Love Area) + Pray Praeploy (Why R U?) 

This is my hacker/programmer or gammer girl pick. I’m thinking a lesbian Falling Into You Smile. The older girl broke ground as the first female pro-gamer, the younger girl is the new upstart with stars in her eyes. It writes itself. 

I would also like to see these already established pairs get full shows:

Bad Buddy 

Seven Project 

From Taiwan? 

Aviis Zhong & Tannie Huang (DNA Says Love You)

Aviis has done a kinda GL before, but I wasn’t wild about it. These two are KILLER performers and it’s Taiwan, so make it high heat and hella messy, (so long as its HEA). How about Trapped the GL version? SCI Mysteries only lesbians? MoD the lady’s stop a murderer? 

From Japan? 

Noriko Iriyama & Matsui Airi 

I love the idea of a tsundere older character and cheerful sunshine puppy pursuer. Something in the To My Star vein, only with Japan’s kinky touch? Let’s go with that. 

From Korea? 

Jeon Mi Do & Seo Hyun Jin 

This should be a straight up (pun intended) office set Kdrama, all the tropes, just they v gay. That’s it, that’s all I want. They’re both mature, career women, established dating history, one of them can know she likes girls, the other one can find it out as they go along. Make it hurt so good. Lots of mess and pining. Stupid separation in the final ep. Classic Kdrama, it’s just they're lesbians, Korea.

Iron Ladies. 7

Story: 8

Acting: 9

Chemistry: 7

This drama had some really good moments, but also suffered from some low ones for me. It’s basically centered on three storylines of three older women in their thirties which was I generally love more of. My problem was the weird pacing of each of the episodes. Some of them felt too rushed and others felt like they were dragging on. Also the two main leads of the noona storyline lacked that certain bit of oof, but that might be just me so 🤷‍♀️
