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)

My Only 12% (SantaEarth)

Remember Me (maybe??) (JaFirst)

Happy Ending Outside the Fence

Love in the Air (maybe??)

Yoon Phusanu my beloved never disappoints and has indeed hired a gaggle of lawyers to go up against Y.Entertainment.

You can watch his whole press conference (with English subs) here.

It includes highlights such as:

Yoon would like to be fairly compensated because he has to provide for his family. His family are seven cats. He's brought pictures.

He's now officially gone freelance and Y.Ent are no longer allowed to use his name.

Yoon hasn't been paid in a very long time, even though he's tried to negotiate and reach an agreement. He's tired of having to run after his money.

He's "only" owed about 100.000 baht (~2.555€ / 2772$ / £2,192) but Yoon's lawyer states that this is a systematic problem and lots of actors in Series Y (Thai BL) aren't fairly compensated. Several actors have reached out to him personally. He also says that he doesn't put blame on the companies because Series Y is a very competitive field. Still, young actors should be careful about who they work with and stand up for themselves if they aren't treated fairly.

They're showing pictures of Yoon's cats again. Yoon has to provide for them, after all:

Yoon doesn't have acting work lined up right now but he's actively looking for new projects and is in talks to join a new agency.

I'm not sure if this only affects Yoon or the other actors who are owed money by Y.Ent as well but apparently the cut-off date for payment was 11 March. He was offered money after that date but didn't take it because he already knew that he wanted to terminate the contract. Apparently, he had been with Y.Ent for over 4 years and the contract was supposed to be a six year contract (I'm not too sure about this one since the subs are terrible and so is my Thai lmao). Because he's been with them for so long, the whole thing pretty much blindsided him.

Yoon's mother is supportive of him acting in Y Series.

Many other Thai BL actors have talked to Yoon about being treated unfairly and he wants to spread awareness about that.

Apparently, Y.Ent never stated a reason for not paying him. They only told him that he'd be paid at a later date.

Yoon's lawyer says that he has every right to sue but for now he only wants to negotiate. He again urges young actors to thoroughly check who they're working with.

Yoon is asked if this disagreement will cause him problems with other companies down the line but he says that he doesn't believe it will negatively affect him as he's trying to solve the issue peacefully.

Yoon's lawyer again says that actors should read their contracts very carefully. Some contracts don't give the actors any rights but only duties. They might then have to hire a laywer to be able to break contract.

Yoon then says that sometimes he wasn't sent the script before filming and when arrived on set all he'd be given was an old brief that he'd already read. He was then asked (by other crew etc) if he'd practiced his lines which of course he couldn't. This embarrassed him.

The lawyer also adds that there is often a discrepancy between the number of episodes in a series and queues for a shoot. I'm guessing that he means that the actors won't realise that they actually have to work more hours for less money (since compensation seems to be based on episodes rather than hours worked?). This is very difficult to renegotiate and almost no actor in their 20s can afford to settle this in court.

This isn't the first time Yoon has spoken up against the mistreatment of himself and other Thai BL actors in the industry and I'm so glad he has the means to stand up for himself when so many other actors obviously can't.

Fans are so quick to blame bad shows and weird behind-the-scenes stuff on the actors themselves when in reality it's so often due to mismanagement and mistreatment. Imagine not even having a script on shooting day (yes, I'm aware this is common practice in soap entertainment but these are rookie actors without the experience and support that seasoned soap actors have - also in this case it seems to have surprised even the crew on set). No wonder things were akward in Unforgotten Night. Do you really think actors who don't have a script get to practice and negotiate their intimate scenes together?

And judging by what Tor Atagorn has spoken up about recently (and many other actors have alluded to in the past) this is only the very tip of the iceberg, with young and inexperienced actors deliberately trapped in contracts that they have no way of getting out of on their own.

Yoon's lawyer urged young actors to be more aware of who they're working for in order to better protect themselves. In a similar vein, BL watchers should ideally be more aware of whose shows they're watching and what companies have a shady track record.

If nothing else, do it for the cats! These actors have children they need to provide for, after all!

#yoon phusanu #thai bl #unforgotten night #for him the series #jane watches stuff #i need a tag for bl industry things #bl industry #(perhaps?) #pls assume i've been replaced if i ever NOT talk about mistreatment in the bl industry #this is so very important to me #i've seen it happen in the games industry #and we should fight and show support whenever we can #because passionate and young creatives are so easy to exploit #and most people seem to think it's okay because they like the game or series or movie they get out of it

It has never been a better time to be a fan of Japanese QL

We have the most familiar depiction of the sexual arc between men I've seen in genre in a while in Perfect Propose.

We have two adults recently out of major relationships building something in Sukiyanen Kedo Do Yara ka.

We have a messy lesbian evil ex as your boss dynamic in Chaser Game W.

She Loves To Cook and She Loves to Eat is coming at us in 5 15-minute episodes a week, continuing the lesbian awakening and beautiful slow burn romance arc we've been on.

Ossan's Love is back for the fourth time and it's giving us middle age gay commitment and hilarious hijinks.

There's even a Cherry Magic anime adaptation going and it's distinct and good!

Drama Shower may be struggling, but we've got another outing next week!

I am thriving!

For the ship ask: Lee Wan and Shin Ki Tae

MY SONS!

I love these two and I'm so happy they got their second chance.

Lee Wan is kind of a frustrating character, in that he lives so much in his own head and is so convinced he can't have what he wants that he self-sabotages and costs himself years of a relationship with Ki Tae, not to mention hurting him deeply by confessing and then doing a runner without even letting him respond. He abandoned his best friend in a bid to protect himself and it really wasn't cool! It's all very sympathetic, however, because Wan is a closeted gay boy who is utterly terrified of being rejected by his best friend, and at no point in all of this was he thinking clearly. He made both of them miserable but we never struggled to understand why.

Shin Ki Tae, by contrast, is kind of the hero of this relationship because he did not give up even when he easily could have. But no, he chased after Wan, found him again, supported his art from afar, found a way to bring him back into his orbit, and then forced him to talk it out until they resolved their issues and finally got on the same page. Conflict avoidant people need straightforward communicators in their lives and these two are a really good pair for that reason.

This is also one of those ships where I really believe they are going to stay together and have a happy relationship after the show ends. They're super compatible, they've worked their shit out, they are clearly devoted to each other, and I am not worried they will have these problems again.

Send me a ship and I'll share my thoughts about it

BL WRAPPED 2023

thanks for the tag @distant-screaming (here)! I decided to get a little creative with it, and also customized it a bit to myself (I'm not a big soundtrack or fanfiction person).

This also functions more or less as my "First Year in BL" post - I watched my first BL in mid January 2023, made this sideblog in mid March 2023, and I haven't looked back since.

I'm going to tag @airenyah, @chickenstrangers, @colourme-feral, @sollucets, @twig-tea, @waitmyturtles, and @williamrikers to do any version of a wrap up they please (or none at all!). I'm also curious to see other people's years summed up, so if you're reading this feel free to tag me - I haven't been on Tumblr much lately so I know I've missed things.

#bl wrapped #bl superlatives #tag game #😅 if you give me the chance to make a powerpoint I WILL take it #technically my most listened to soundtrack is Start Over (시작) by Gaho (but I haven't seen Itaewon Class... nor is it a BL) #[though I've been hearing 'What Zabb' from Cooking Crush a lot lately thanks to a certain someone (you know who you are)] #and I did read a couple fics for Bad Buddy and Only Friends? if you're really curious #if I was really trying to tell on myself the categories would be: shows started and unfinished/shows on to-watch list/tag games unplayed...

BL WRAPPED 2023 🎇

template by @loveable-sea-lemon (love it!!!)

for krishna @i-got-the-feels & vish @morkofday & mel @justafriend-ql thank you for tagging me friends!!!! this was so much fun 💖

you watched 24 bls this year. that's about idk but less than i expected hours!

you primarily watched bls from Thailand (GMMTV lol)

you spent way too much time thInking about these characters: AlanWen, TinnGun, HeartLiMing and now MhokDay.

honorable mentions - JengPat, BostonNick, YaiJom, UeangphuengMei, TinCharn and TinTol. also PatPran & PuenTalay+Jigsaw from Our Skyy 2!

your favorite show was My School President, Moonlight Chicken, and Triage. you kept thinking about it all year. (and of course Last Twilight but that's still airing)

your overall bl mood was as chaotic as Nawin in Laws of Attraction

you read the most fanfiction about TinnGun. like way too much. they are my emotional support wholesome high school romance 💒

another of your favorites from this year was IFYLITA, Laws of Attraction, and My Only 12%. they captivated and made your gay little heart cry.

the soundtracks you listened to the most were (at the risk of sounding repetitive) MSP OST + Concert Set List and Moonlight Chicken OST. it made you feel really normal. also Tilly Bird.

your favorite acting pair was FirstMix. there was just something so mesmerizing about them... it was so refreshing in a 'i want to go cry in a ditch' kinda way.

here's to another year!! 🎉

BL ask game

12, 14, 17

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12. most rewatched bl

Well next to LITA, which I said last time, I'd have to say, The Untamed. Which I find shocking now that I think about it. I've rewatched it at least 4 times this year and am currently in the middle of a rewatch while I watch it with my friend for her very first time (she hates Jiang Cheng btw). I just love the story, I love Wuxian and Wangji. And I love being able to notice Wangji's micro-expressions right away and to know that he's screaming inside anytime it comes to Wuxian. it's just a solid watch every single time.

14. bl you think is underrated

Next to GHGH, I'd have to say The New Employee. I saw a poll on here the other day asking who has seen it and with hundreds of votes the winning choice was, "I've never heard of it." And when I say winning, I mean by a landslide.

The New Employee is such a good watch! We have our sweet-faced, hardworking 28 yr old intern doing his very best to be his very best in a brand new field outside of his expertise. Enter the stern, straight-forward 35 yr old dilf director who shows a special interest in him. He believes in him and he genuinely likes him. They're cute and awkward and sweet. The series features openly gay and lesbian characters and it's workplace romance done right and I just love that it has characters in my age group. The mains have great chemistry, it's funny, it's romantic, and easy to watch!

17. best kiss

These days, it's a tie between the bar kiss in TharnType s1 AND the "Rain is sick but Imma shove my tongue down his throat anyway" kiss from Love in the Air.

Oh look! They're both MAME series!

Y'all wanna get to know me better

Tagged by @colourme-feral, @pickletrip, @telomeke, @lukaherehelp,@my-rose-tinted-glasses

last song: Kylie Minogue's "Tension" because she is my everything, and I will worship her forever and ever. Amen.

favorite color: Yellow! No other color even comes close. It is a ten, and all the other colors are sixes at best.

last movie/tv show: All Over the Guy. My friend was asking why I say, "All's I know is" when I'm from the Southwest, and I had to show him a clip from the movie (not this clip), and ended up rewatching the entire thing.

I love this movie a lotta. "Oh my god, Eli was stalking you? That is so romantic!"

sweet/spicy/savory: Spicy! Green chile is its own food group where I live, so I shall share some of my favorites: green chile ramen, green chile and honey latte (not with a green chile apple pie because the restaurant was out ☹), green chile margarita, and green chile sushi. And yes, I do take pictures of my food.

relationship status: I'm Boeing from Only Friends. I'm Vitamin D toxic. I'm fine in normal doses, but excessive exposure, although not life-threatening, is harmful to one's health and will cause unusual heart rhythm and confusion. People think I'm good for them, so they crave more of me, but . . .

current obsession: All these food BLs I'm going to eat up just in time for Thanksgiving break. As a vegetarian and colonizer hater, I do not celebrate this holiday, but I sure do like to grub in my house with my pjs on, so BRING ME MY SWEET TREATS!

last thing I googled: I already plan to make Torta Caprese next week for my themed FunDay SunGays, so I can enjoy it while I watch all the food-themed BLs. I was thinking of throwing in some lavender dark chocolate I have from Belgium but I needed to see how much chocolate I actually need. Result: I'm gonna do it!

tags: I ain't doing that.
