I forgot how much I missed Mannow.  And honestly, starting Between Us is just making me want to watch UWMA. 

#JT Talks #Between Us the series #UWMA #honestly Between Us is such a victim of covid sequel syndrome #but Team is hot so I'm gonna try to get through at least the first episode

[waitingforminjae]

this is my favorite scene in the entire show actually they rlly had pharm trying to charlie day conspiracy theory board his way thru dean’s entire inner circle bc they don’t explain anything to him and he’s too polite to ask

#imagine just trying to be polite and give ur neighbor food bc u ran into each other in the hall the other day #and u find out that he's the peer mentor of ur boyfriend's little brother and you meet for the first time right there in ur neighbor's home #and he's dating ur bf's childhood best friend who owns the restaurant u went to for ur first date #two other ppl are there. no one explains any of this to you for at least 30 minutes until ur bf shows up. #f: uwma #uwma the series #until we meet again #the only thing i would want out of a sequel is pharm paying everyone back for all the teasing they lovingly put him thru asdfjklds;fghjkl #videos

[nick-nellson]

i just watched my bromance and i’m just sitting here like this made no damn sense????

#i know there’s a sequel and he’s not dead so like whyyyy #tiny baby fluke was very cute though as always #uwma rewatch is gonna happen soon i just gotta mentally prepare to cry every ep

Random BL Grievances, 2023 Edition

Listen. I was going to be nice. I was going to listen to my better angels. Shan, I said, there is no need to hate, it's all love! Just let it all go! But then my Tay Tawan was cruelly ripped away from me and @my-rose-tinted-glasses gave me inspiration. So fuck it, we ball. Hateration turned up to 11, let's go.

Worst Waste of a Good Start: Jun & Jun

Remember when this show started and it was all about scent kink and extremely horny energy, and then suddenly that all evaporated so we could add a bunch of side plots and do four different love triangles instead? Yeah I'm still mad about it!!

Most Overused Metaphor: Dangerous Romance

Hey y'all, did you know windmills need wind to power them?

Rudest Boy: Lomfon, La Pluie

The audacity of this boy. The chaos he sewed. Look at this scene! Immediately after this he not only plotted a secret date with his situationship's brother, he kissed said brother without consent. He made Tien cry. I may have forgiven your lanky ass, but I sure didn't forget!

Worst Retcon: Naughty Babe

This is not Men in Black and you can't just mind wipe me into forgetting these two already worked through half these issues in Cutie Pie. Not to mention suddenly turning a dog into a CGI tiger!! Thanks to Nat and Max for their service though those sex scenes at the end did help me cope.

Biggest Audience Betrayal: Minato's Laundromat 2

Plot contrivance amnesia! In my painstaking slow burn self acceptance journey that I have spent two entire seasons on. I will never forgive them.

Most Egregious Lack of Threesomes: Only Friends

You put me through all that messy drama and all those teases and I did not get to watch even one (1) threesome? Just a couple of kisses and everybody vacates the pool. I ask you, what was the point of Boeing if he wasn't here to fuck everybody! For shame, Jojo.

Most Undeserved Forgiveness: Eun Ji and Tae Hyung, The Eighth Sense

These two assholes are really up there amongst the worst friends in drama this year. I don't care what Jae Won says, I do not forgive you. Ji Hyun should have kept that petty energy for the both of them.

Biggest Character Letdown: Sand, Only Friends

Eternally pouring one out for the rougher, more cynical version of Sand who was wielding a baseball bat in the trailer. I don't know what happened to you, my guy, but you live on in my heart.

Most Baffling Dropped Plot: Thyme, A Boss and a Babe

Why was Drake even in this show? What was the point of all that plot set up in the first half if they weren't going to resolve it?? Why wasn't Thyme the mole??? Make it make sense.

Most Obvious Lack of Purpose: Between Us

How on earth did this happen? You have literal years to write a compelling sequel story for a wildly popular side ship and this is all you can come up with?! Aside from a couple nice sexy scenes at the start, this show really had no idea what it was about and nothing interesting to say.

Biggest Waste of Everyone's Time: Absolute Zero

New Siwaj, you're getting the triple dose on this list!! And AZ is your biggest sin this year because what the fuck was this! You had all that money, all that talent, all that time at your disposal, and this is what you did with it. UWMA squad was lined up to see you finally do another masterpiece, and you delivered this mess instead. What is going on with you, sir, I feel it's time for an intervention.

Worst Derailing of a Good Show: Step by Step

You didn't think this post was ending without me mentioning this disaster, did you? An all-time cautionary tale in how to waste a good slow burn. Jeng deserved better and so did we.

[theheightofdishonor]

to commemorate my newest hyperfixation, i decided to make a top 10 asian dramas list (mostly bls). Like always, there's no order to this

bad buddy - my first bl and whoever said that this show would spoil you for bls was right because it's still my favourite. Absolutely nothing tops. This also kickstarted my obsession with nanon, so thank you bb. Praying for a sequel.

we best love - By itself it wouldn't be this high up but I loved the sequel and together, they're easily a contender for top 3. Great dynamic, great acting, great plot in the second one, Loved it.

3 will be free. I was in it for the polyamorous relationship and I got what I wanted. 10/10. Would rewatch (something even other shows on this list will not be getting)

Word of Honor.- I just in fact rewatched this because I was so obsessed. Top tier and I still hold that I liked it better than the Untamed.

the gifted + graduation - no lie, wouldn't have made it through if nanon wasn't in it but he is and it's a classic super powers at school thing so i really liked it. Also, watching blacklist (terrible, terrible show, easily top worst) made me realize how well they did in comparison and made me like it more

f4 - the shift bright's character made to liking gorya happened wayyyy too abruptly and I hate it but everything else was great, loved ren and gorya's friendship specifically. Bit too dramatic towards the end, even for me but it was a pretty fun time so.

kinnporsche - The more I watch this show, the less tolerance I have for the plot but it's a really fun watch, really high production, god tier chemistry for all three main couples and a killer theme song. Free Fall is easily my favourite bit of music out of everything i've watched, right in front of uwma's score which i'll mention later on and just a friend from bad buddy. Special shoutouts also to the editing on ep 11 because the tonal whiplash between each scene was hilarious.

my beautiful man - I didn't think i'd like it and honestly, wasn't a fan til the last couple episodes but they did win me over. Love it when a show does something new with a trope.

until we meet again was really hard for me to watch because pharm was like SO sweet and pure and whatnot and i like my main characters to be less, hm, nice, if that's the word but the story is so fucking good and it unfolds so well and Fluke;s acting has me on the verge of the tears everytime I so much as look at episode 17 so while this is a skip-watch, it still makes the list. Oh and the score for this show are killer, esp that piano piece they use to build tension in ep 16.

couple of mirrors. - it's a mystery, it's a lesbian romance, it's literally everything to me. I don't even have the words to explain how much i adored this show. definite rewatch

(i'm not watching the eclipse until it's finished which i don't think it is yet)

#listen if my hyperfixation wasn't tiding over i'd go and stalk through chimon's discography and then it'd be something of his on the list #or gun i really like gun but i didn't like any of offgun's stuff nor did i like his character in the gifted so #we best love by itself wouldn't be that high up but with part 2 it's easily a top 3 #a lot of the stuff ends up falling in the middle #i started out not having enough shows to put a top 10 and then had 11 #rip semantic error i replaced you with kinnporsche #history 3 > semantic error hot take of the decade??? #there were a lot of shows like matter of death i liked but just not enough #bad buddy #kinnporsche #history 3: trapped #we best love #the gifted graduation #the gifted #word of honor #my beautiful man #3 will be free #f4 thailand #until we meet again #man if you told me uwma would be in my top 10 after how hard it was to watch i'd have laughed you out the door #couple of mirrors

[thebroccolination]

so once upon a time you wrote 'from ante mortem' and I would like to know

1. how that whole idea came about and

2. why we never saw anything about it ever again

and TOTALLY UNRELATED to that ask, my birthday's this month? just for the record? fun facts

HI FRIEND \:D/

So, for everyone else, from ante mortem is a fic I wrote for WinTeam Week waaay back in October of 2020.

I had this big, epic plan for it to be a huge crossover fic using the whole reaper premise of Dead Like Me. I was going to mix the characters from UWMA, SOTUS, DBK, ME, etc.

Aaand then MUSE happened in November, steamrolled into the huge crossover fic that from ante mortem was supposed to become (using characters from UWMA, SOTUS, DBK, ME…), and I got completely distracted. And then I started writing a fantasy novel, which I'm still working on. And yet this past December I did start writing SAVOR, the sequel to MUSE, because while I have some impulse control, I can't choose which impulses it controls. \:D/

I'm genuinely happy someone remembers it exists, though! Honestly, I didn't realize anyone was still interested in it, buuut once I finish the book and SAVOR, I'll have another look at what I was planning to do with from ante mortem. (And probably with a different cast now that there have been so many new additions to my favorite series list.)

VERY FUN FACT ABOUT IT BEING YOUR BIRTHDAY, THOUGH. Lemme know if, uh, anything less Gilgamesh-adjacent would make you happy. :')

Reveal your Watch and Rewatch List! (BL Edition!!)

Thank you my love @disaster-j for tagging me - This is extremely overdue I know; I had this whole post written out almost 2 weeks ago but then right when I was getting ready to publish this 💖lovely💖 website decided to refresh and my post was lost. I was so mad that I didn't want to re-write it, but here I am anyways.

Currently Watching (I'm extending this to shows that have juuust finished too)

Kinnporsche - It's so fresh in my mind. I have way too many thoughts about this show to put down here, so i'm going to make another post similar to my Not Me Retrospective - all the things that were right and the things that were not. It may not have stuck to the book, and it may not have fully lived up to all the hype and expectations, but it's still unlike any other BL i've seen so far. Gotta commend them for that. Also it's the VegasPete show now, sorry I didn't make the rules. 7/10 (i'm sorry pls don't @me just read my retrospective later)

To My Star 2: Our Untold Stories - talented brilliant incredible amazing show-stopping spectacular...I think she deserves a separate post for herself too. Maybe when i'm not drowning under the guilt of not working on my Dissertation. There wasn't too much angst, the ending wasn't rushed, it was honestly perfect. Imperfect can be perfect too, you know. 11/10

Old Fashion Cupcake - I had low expectations for this so it kind of blew me out of the water. Great acting, incredible chemistry, and that scene in Ep 4 lives rent free in my brain. It's amazing how they (mostly) managed to tell a story in just 5 episodes and still have it feel complete and not unnecessarily rushed. A teensy bit of beef with how the finale went, but there's always something isn't there. 8.5/10

My Secret Love - Pretty mid, like the standard GMMTV sort of fare, featuring My-ponytail-is-my-personality-trait Boy, Walmart Saint Suppapong, Why RU's too-many-couples disease, mildly problematic behavior and a thin excuse of a plot. Still, it's nice to get something banal and light-hearted after all the weekend angst of KP and TMS. The latest ep was surprisingly better and less superficial than all the others so far.

Star and Sky: Sky in my Heart - The sequel to JoongDunk's Star in my Mind, this is typical lighthearted GMMTV stuff ft. P'Mek and debut actor Mark. A series of mini-series' where new couples get to flex their acting muscles a bit and test out their chemistry on the screen. I don't have much to say except it's soft and cute, nothing too groundbreaking.

Looking Forward To

Never Let Me Go (PondPhuwin)

Between Us (BounPrem)

I'm here from AO3, I read all of Until We Meet Again and started crying happy tears at the end and I'm gonna start the next part of the saga immediately !!! you're such a talented writer and the way you personified them while staying true to the games and source material is so phenomenal. absolutely incredible, I enjoyed every second of it and was kicking my legs in the air like a kid in love 💕

AWW thank you so so much, I'm so thrilled you enjoyed UWMA! I'm SO HAPPY you feel the characters were true to the game and source material, that's so important to me as a fic writer -- the best praise! 😭❤🙏

I hope you'll enjoy the sequels if you read them!! 🥰

For anyone who is curious: Until We Meet Again is the first of my Geralt of Rivia/Reader trilogy, Chamomile and Gwent, on AO3! 600k+ words in total, all smutty because that's how we roll in Pika's House😏❤

-- love from your friendly neighbourhood Pika! xoxo

Getting to Know Your BL Mutuals:

I was tagged by @piningbisexuals Thank you for the tag. It took some thought and effort because I've watched So Many BLs this year and Not Nearly All of the same ones others got to. I'm also not as eloquent describing things as @absolutebl or @piningbisexuals so y'all bear with me. 😁🙄👍❤️

rules: answer the questions and @ some people. include the tag 'g2ky BL mutuals 2022' on your post so we can find everyone's answer.

BLs That Took You by Surprise this year:

1) DNA Says Love You: Produced by Taiwan this one turned out quite different from what I expected based on the trailer and I mean that in a good way. It was a Beautiful story, well crafted and terrifically acted.

2) Color Rush 2: Korea picked up a new habit this year and started giving us sequels. Now, I know everyone was disappointed not to have the original couple back, but the way they continued the story was what I loved the most. They built on the first and got into more of the backgrounds and societies response to those who are different. A third installment is planned and I hope it gets made if only because I want to know what happens. 😁

3) On Cloud Nine: A Thai BL that almost no one watched I think. Another one that was not what you expected based on the trailer. I enjoyed it for it's unique storytelling, beautiful cinematography, and the twist you may or may not deduce along the way.

4) Blueming: Though produced by South Korea it was unlike the bulk of their BLs. There was more depth to the story, the actors were lovely, and it was shot Beautifully.

BLs that You Were Disappointed With:

I guess I'm lowbrow because I don't get disappointed a lot. I take it for what it is. That being said, there were a couple.

1) Check Out: I watched the entire series and it didn't help. They managed to take the great chemistry and UST of Ep 00 and turn it into a self indulgent whine-fest. It could have been so much better if they hadn't tried so hard shooting for depth and coming up far short imo.

2) Cupid's Last Wish: It pains me to put this one here because I Love EarthMix together. I also watched this entire series and at least they did get together in the end. They made Mix's character So Unlikeable...the Entire Time. And then the whole body swap business. It just didn't work well, all of it. A disappointing follow-up to 1000 Stars. I honestly hope their next series is better.

Favorite BLs of the Year:

1) Not Me: A Stellar series all around! I Love OffGun and I was so excited to see them in something so very different from their usual sort of roles. The fact that the series was truly risky for the amount of social commentary and impact it had only added to the enjoyment. The actors ALL Killed these roles and I was just left in awe watching them week after week. Seeing the awards piling up for this series here at the end of the year is also So Gratifying because They Deserve It!!

2) Kinneporsche: I didn't Just like it for the high heat. I truly enjoyed seeing a Different kind of story being done by Thailand. The relationships and the story were solid and enjoyable with plenty of twists and turns to keep us engaged. The acting was Marvelous, the Chemistry Insane, and I look forward to season 2...if it ever gets produced.

3) Semantic Error: Another South Korea BL that seemed to break the standard mold. Gorgeous Chemistry between the leads and an Unlikely love story made it a winner for me.

Favorite BL Couples:

I have Years of Favs but I'll stick to This year. LOL

1) OffGun is Always gonna be on this list. They just keep getting better and better.

2) OhmFluke have Had Me since UWMA and I am So Happy we're getting More of them this year.

3) EarthMix I Love their chemistry in general and I Know they have the acting chops to pull off great work. Just hoping for some better stories for them

4) BossNouel A Totally new pair this year, they Ate their roles Up with Tantalizing chemistry. I hope we see More from them.

5) MileApo and BibleBuild They crafted relationships that made an impact with Superb acting and Unreal chemistry. Give them More to do because they are up to it.

6) Kim Ji Woong & Yoon Seo Bin They have been Marvelous together this year. So Enjoyable! Korea gave us two very different series with them and we can only hope they'll give us more.

7) BounPrem got my attention in UWMA and I am Thrilled to finally be seeing them in their own series to follow-up on UWMA. I have loved seeing them all over this year, in Brilliant cameos and short series alike.

Non BL Favorites This Year

Some of these are gonna be Bromance we Wish Were BL but I enjoyed them all the same. Also, some may have been produced in 2021 but I just got to watch them this year.

1) Devil Judge: Just Wow! A Dystopian drama from Korea with an Insane story and Brilliant acting, it kept me on the edge of my seat until the end.

2) Remember You: A Thai drama with Tay Tawan, Petch, and Aun. Another one that kept me on the edge of my seat. An intense murder mystery series with family drama and the unexpected thrown in.

3) Kei & Yaku: Abunei Aibou: Japan gave us a Great show with this one. A cop and a Yakuza boss have to join forces and Wow! This is one I Wish they would give us a sequel for just to have More of them together

4) Under the Skin: A Chinese drama that very much gave me Sherlock vibes. A cop and a Forensic artist are forced to work together despite a rocky history but the unique skill of the artist makes all the difference to their cases. Loved it!

BL- BOYS' LOVE:

Series: BETWEEN US (2023, THAILAND)

Okay, what just happened. Win (NOPPANUT GUNTACHAI aka BOUN) pretty much confessed his feelings for Team (WARUT CHAWALITRUJIWONG aka PREM)

Yet when Team posed the question of if they were in the same place as when he asked "the question" about basically their relationship was mutually beneficial and if they got bored BREAK UP..simple as that.

Win could not give Team the answer he wanted no needed. He allowed him to walk away. WTF.

Episode 11 better start with Win chasing after Team.

[peachblossomdrama]

Between Us the Series ep 1 was just so wonderful. I loved seeing more of Dean and Pharm and learning more about their story. I love that we got to see Win and Dean talk towards the end of the episode, just to show their friendship and how they’re almost foils of each other-- Dean’s finally found who he’s looking for after searching his whole life and Win’s lived his whole life feeling like nothing was truly his. Now that he’s found Team, we get to see how he grows and changes and I’m so excited to see the development of his and Team’s relationship. The show is really just adding more to the story that I already love so dearly and I think that regardless of where it goes, it’s going to be one of my favorites. It really doesn’t feel like a sequel, it’s just adding more context to the stories of my favorite characters.

I love the extent to which Win asked for Team’s consent at the end of the episode. I already loved his character, but this whole first episode just endeared him to me more. I love that we get to see the brotherly side of him too (I also think it’s so fun that Santa has a role in this show. I’m such a fan of the cast, and I loved seeing clips/pictures of Earth & Kao as well. I just think it’s great that they all get to be involved in the series).

I know there are several pairings that the show will explore... I’m not sure how that’s going to play out. I think episode one did a great job balancing the three pairings from UWMA, I hope that they can keep a good balance while still giving us everything we’ve been wanting from WinTeam’s story.

Can’t wait for episode 2!

Watching/Rewatching/Planning to Watch List

Thanks for the tag! @scarefox

So, currently watching:

Between Us: Swim team hunks hooking up & catching feelings with a ridiculous number or side dishes. I liked WinTeam in UWMA and was thrilled when they announced this. So far, it hasn't disappoined, even though I'm not crazy about all the side pairings.

My Tooth Your Love: The first and only dentist bl. It completely took me by surprise with its mature approach to queer relationships, great chemistry between the leads and honest potrayal of mental health issues, but that's Taiwan for you.

My Schoool President: A priviliged Scrabble-loving nerd pining for a clueless scrappy little terrier with a guitar. He then gets a chance to help hus crush to fulfill his musical dream but in true high school bl fashion decides to go about it in the most complicated way possible. I don't love all the singing tbh, but it has so much heart and charm that I'm willing to look past it.

I Will Knock You: A literal child leading a vintage-themed street gang full of adults is determined to win over a certain girl's heart. A nervous tutor who's booksmart but also painfully stupid when it comes to surviving in the real world manages to catch the attention of the wannabe-thug at the worst possible moment after bitter rejection. Fate then leads our fearful-yet-determined boy to become the baby-gangster's tutor. This show is weird in that 60% of the time one of the leads looks like the other one is pouring cold yoghurt down his back but somehow it still translates as chemistry. It's ridiculously campy yet impossibly charming. I do think it would benefit from shorter episodes, though, some scenes just drag on unnecessarily imo.

Happy Ending Romance: Honestly, I'm still on the fence with this one. A promising novelist ruffles the wrong feathers and gets shunned by the whole Korean publishing industry. His friend, also a writer, takes him in and they date?? I guess?? It's very vague on that front so far. Then a perpetually optimistic wannabe-publisher with a failing start-up approaches the blacklisted novelist wanting to publish his next book. The set-up is promising but the flow is kind of weird, and I have no idea which pairing to root for so far.

Planning to watch:

[ilargeicontradictmiself]

Okay, hi, okay, so , i did watch the new teaser for between us. What i thought they were going to do originally is dive deeper into the characters , im expecting some short of depression storyline or something, you know, deep painful shit. A sequel worthy of until we meet again, a show by wabi sabi that sticks out etc etc. Im still expecting such plot but

I am slightly freaking out that it's going to be stupid. That they'll make Team a lot more shy and Win more of an "open about what i want but i dont really have anything going on with me other than this thing with you" kind of love interest. Im not really basing this on anything im just kind of freaking out, like their relationship was pretty balanced in uwma even though win was kind of a coach to team and even though team wasn't really ready for his feelings or whatever so he was more hesitant when it came to that, im just worried they'll take these characteristics to extremes and make their relationship something that it wasn't, in a bad way, again , idk why, just a pre-release freak out

Im just worried, you know, characters i like, a show i think could be decent, im worried, you know?

Yeah
