This week in BL - I am all over the place, But Laws of Attraction is Phenomenal af

July 2023 Wk 2

Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs. Organized by which ones (in each category) I’m enjoying most.

Ongoing Series - Thai

Laws of Attraction (Thai Sat iQIYI) 1 of 8 - Icky picked it up but it’s not airing for me until Sundays so I held this post specifically to watch and talk about this show. Stars the pair from To Sir With Love with the same production team. IT’S SO GOOD Y’ALL. A morally corrupted trickster lawyer with a tragic past, sad eyes, and a beautiful smile that he uses like a weapon. Meets paladin martial arts instructor from other side of the tracks (who is out, at least to his baby sister). Corrupt police. Spoiled rich kid evil. Ambitious politician. Tragic death. Terrible subs.* This show is very like Manner of Death but so far it is a much better/tighter story. It’s NOT BL but it is fucking phenomenal. And you shoudl watch it. Not wait to binge it. WATCH IT. On a global scale this might be the best thing currently airing featuring gay romantic leads. Its really fucking good. It’s Lawless Lawyer but more complex character motivation and gay af. Fuck yes please and thank you. FINALLY. Triggers for violence, beatings, death & torture depicted on screen. Like MoD they are not holding back. (* A lot of the familial names they are using are not gendered in Thai but translated as such, like “nephew”. This one is gonna go down a lot easier if you know some Thai.)

Step By Step (Tues WeTV & Gaga) ep 12fin - 2 years pass and no one’s hairstyle changes? Srs. Them meeting again = hella AWKWARD. Both still pining & hurt. NO SINGING. The reconciliation scene was great. I enjoyed that on the “do over relationship” they went with phi/pom (instead of the super formal khuns). So cute and so much more relaxed. Also lots of neck kisses! Charming final ep. It’s only flaw being they dropped the side couple, but I wasn’t really into them anyway. Ultimately? This is what Boss & Babe should have been and could we please have Up lead out another BL? I miss him and he only gets prettier. Full review below.

La Pluie (Sat iQIYI) ep 12fin - I adore the tiny little baby GL thread that we almost got. And I wish we had had more of it throughout the show. The side couple turned out to be good too. Emotional crying kisses are my favorite. Sunshine netted himself an earnest serious romantic boy, we likey. As for the main couple? Well... Tai’s search story arc was dull and dragging in a final ep and it felt bloated and slow as a result. It was a good confession reunion with Tai figuring all of his shit out, not surprising but fine. Kind of a a weak final ep. Full review below.

Hidden Agenda (Thai Sun GMMTV YouTube) ep 1 of 12 - JoonDunk are back and we have all seen this a million times before, but Thailand never executed a successful formula it didn’t want to repeat a million times over, drunk bathroom and everything. Welcome (back) to Thai BL (and back and back and back). Basically they just added glasses, a new 1-shared-brain-cell friendship group, and different uni departments. Ah GMMTV, forever trying to recreate the magic of 2gether. But also I’m enjoying it. I’m a simple person. (Hi Jamie! Still in college since 2018 I see.) Anyone else notice that Chinese phrase that they did not translate for us? Mmm hum. Cute. Still... NO SINGING.

Low Frequency (Sat iQIYI) ep 2 of 8 - Thames is in coma and getting slagged off on the socials. It’s moving a bit slowly but the premise is interesting despite the poor quality of the execution.

Dinosaur Love (Sun iQIYI) ep 3 of 8 eps - Major trigger for self harm depicted on screen in part 2/4. I skipped it. Then there is assault and verbal abuse. I told you Ultimate Troop is NOT to be trusted.

Be Mine Super Star (Mon Viki) ep 2 of 12 - Look, I don’t really mind this show but I also don’t like second hand embarrassment and I sense a metric butt ton incoming.

Be My Favorite (Fri YouTube) ep 8 of 12 - I was not best pleased with this episode. Ya’ll round the tumblr-sphere seem to be enjoying it but I have officially hit the wall on Kawi. There is not enough booze for me to cope with his shizz. I may be alone in this. But gotta say how I feel... Unlike him. Trash watch here.

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Tokyo in April is... AKA Shigatsu no Tokyo wa (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 5 of 8 - Poor Ren, he feels compelled to take on the burden of protecting everyone from sexual assault because he blames himself. And he can’t even talk to his boyfriend about it. Oh fuck me the pair of shoes at the door. And neck kisses? TOO MUCH. Argh. Japan. Why must you hurt so good?

Stay By My Side (Taiwan Fri Gaga) 3 of 10 eps - It’s a very cute show. All the tropes and archetypes with no fuss or attempts to be clever, just executing them (sometimes over and over again). Even hiccoughs as a result of flirting! I haven’t seen that one in ages. The show feels old fashioned as a result. Nostalgic. I’m good with that.

Tie The Not (Pinoy YouTube) ep 6 of 8 - Sad boys still sad now drunk. (Noooooo shoes on bed! Argh.) Finally kisses! Also good ones for a large portion of this ep. Plus hair pulling. And verse rep! And after sex convo. Then side dishes have a whole proper gay ax covo about top/bottom. Everyone say thank you Philippines! get down with your queer selves!

Stupid Genius (Vietnam Fri YouTube) ep 6fin - I believe this was the final episode. It was cute. This is a standard sort of semi-crappy VBL high school drama. Enjoyable in its floppy friendliness, weirdly like a queer after school special promoting education. Dead fish kisses but fine for what it is. 7/10

Minato's Laundromat Season 2 AKA Minato Shouji Coin Laundry Season 2 (Japan Thu Gaga) 2 of 12 eps - Activate cohabitation trope. They okay bfs. Minato not as frustrating this week, but still frustrating for me and Shin. Next week = cute outfits and dumb miscommunication yay!

Vian the series (Vietnam YouTube ) ep 11 of 12 - again it didn’t show up on my dash in time for this. I’ll pop it into next week.

It’s airing but ...

House of Stars (Thai Mon iQIYI) 12 eps - I bounced at ep 3. Will binge if told it is worth it at end.

Stay (Pinoy YouTube) 7 eps - It’s mostly English & set in LA (shudder) so I’m not bothering.

Stay With Me ... NO I WILL NOT! And you can’t make me.

Ended This Week

Step By Step Series Review

This was Thailand’s answer to The New Employee, and everything I loved about that show I loved about this one. This was an office romance between stern boss and sweet subordinate that felt more authentic to an office environment than previous Thai BLs of this ilk. And that authenticity added tension to the narrative and character development (how novel). Now that might be because it has western source material, or it might be because it is actually kind of old-fashioned (it’s been years since I worked as an office grunt). I also really enjoyed the brothers’ relationship, and kinda wished they hadn’t attempted (and failed) to give said brother his own side BL. That one flaw made it a 9/10 for me. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

La Pluie Series Review

This BL takes to task the fated mates trope and what it means to have love chained intimately to predestination. It’s about how faith in destiny before choice diminishes the authenticity of emotion, relationships, and connection. This is a high concept to examine through the lens of a BL. By activating + examining the soulmates trope this show is challenging a foundation of romance: the idea that there is one person meant to be your one romantic partner all your life. This means that we, as viewers, spend much of the show worried about it having a happy ending, and that’s the source of both its brilliance and tension: would the narrative have the strength to truly challenge its own romantic core? But, ultimately, all this elevated complexity was executed in a somewhat shaky manner with the narrative derailing into some serious pacing issues and characters manipulated by miscommunication. However, with good chemistry and decent acting all around, plus some excellent high heat and representation of consent and a few other rare tropes, this one has to (like it’s sibling show My Ride) earn a 9/10. I enjoyed it even as it made me think, so despite its flaws: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Next Week Looks Like This:

Starting:

7/19 Wedding Plan (Thai Wed YouTube & iQIYI) - It's Mame and she's coming for our GL. She's such a misogynist IMAGINE what we will get with a GL side dish? It's going to be absolute carnage. To crane your neck as you drive by the car wreck or not? That is the question. Me? I'm wallowing in the guts. Trying to decide to trash watch or not...

7/20 Jun & Jun (Korea Thu Viki) - From 2022 I CAN’T FUCKING WAIT! So excited for this one.

2023 forthcoming BL master post (see comments, some are inaccurate, NOT KEPT UPDATED)

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

FYI roselle juice is made from hibiscus (a flower) so technically neither a tea nor a juice. (Hidden Agenda)

Tie the Not = all the verse rep this ep. I love this for them.

The giggling was SO DAMN CUTE (Step by Step, na?)

We all guessed it but it was still fun. (Stupid Genius) Also miracles of miracles, two actors who actually look like they could be brothers play brothers.

First time I’ve seen faen translated as significant other. (Laws of Attraction)

THE PAIN! (Tokyo)

(Last week.)

10 QL Girls I (Might) Want Carnally

Why do this to me, @dribs-and-drabbles? 😭😭😭

Disclaimer: As I frequently state in numerous previous posts, I am asexual - but that does not mean I cannot appreciate a pretty lady (or guy) if they are in my line of sight 😅.

That said, I might not want them carnally but here are the girls I would probably go for if I find the energy to make romantic connections. 😅😅😅

In no particular order:

Love Pattranite

(He's Coming to Me, 2gether, Bad Buddy, Home School)

She's gorgeous and cute as a button. Plus even when she is playing a not-so-nice role (see early episodes of Home School), I still want to be on her side.

Aye Sarunchana

(P.S. I Hate You, Tale of a Thousand Stars, Be My Favorite)

I mean, just look at her. Plus she can act, sing, dance, and model. She's my equivalent of an Asian Barbie doll.

Yoshi Rinrada

(The Sign)

I completely understand why Yai is so whipped for Sand. If my SO is looking as gorgeous as that even when chewing god-knows-what, I would also probably kneel and beg for mercy for every (real or imaginary) transgression just to be on her good side.

Song Ji-Oh

(Semantic Error)

Cool, calm, collected, and would probably kick anyone's ass without hesitation if you annoy her. I wouldn't mind following this woman to the ends of the earth.

Pat Chayanit

(P.S. I Hate You, Midnight Museum, The Jungle)

I am not into BDSM but I would totally not mind if she's the dominatrix.

Jamie Juthapich

(P.S. I Hate You, Home School, The Jungle)

Yeah, I think I have a soft spot for so-called 'bad' girls - especially if they look like her 😅

Organ Rasee

(Bad Genius, Never Let Me Go, Laws of Attraction)

I think when they say MILF, they actually mean her. 😅

WJ Mild Lapassalan

(Ugly Duckling, Kiss Series, Happy Birthday, 3 Will Be Free, Girl Next Room, 46 Days, The Jungle)

Does not matter whether it is comedy, drama, psycho-thriller, horror, or sappy romance, she can do it all and do it well. Plus, have you seen her IG doing yoga/pilates posts? The girl is highly flexible.

Namtan Tipnaree

(Who Are You, Friend Zone, Wake Up Ladies, The Player, Last Twilight)

I didn't notice how pretty she was until she played Giwi in The Player. By gods, I would also be willing to commit crimes if my accomplice looks like that.

Xyriel Manabat

(Dirty Linen, Senior High)

I feel a bit guilty about this one as I have watched her act ever since she was a child. But damn, she grew up fine 😅😅😅

I feel like am annoying my mutuals by tagging them every single time so, if you see this and are up for it, consider yourself tagged! 😊

#tag game #not sure if I did this correctly

Getting to know your BL mutuals - 2022 edition

I GOT TAGGED. @first-kanaphan tagged me and i got a bit squeaky about being present enough to be tagged in things ;~; ♥ Thanks, Jamie! We're besties now xoxo

Rules: Answer the questions and @ some people. Include the tag "g2ky BL mutuals 2022" when you post.

Series I have watched, roughly in order: Bad Buddy, Vice Versa, The Eclipse, Not Me, Theory of Love, Love Mechanics, Love in the Air, Tonhon Chonlatee, Cupid's Last Wish, Ghost Host Ghost House, Between Us, 2gether.

What BL surprised you most this year?

Honestly, I only started watching stuff in... summer? I have no idea. At some point, @aroceu was yelling on twitter about something called patpran and I was intrigued. Thing is, I have absolutely no concept of when anything aired unless I waited for episodes to come out, soooo. Because I'm aware of the anniversary, I know Bad Buddy started last year but technically it ended this year, and it also kickstarted this manic journey. So... Bad Buddy. Because my life revolving around BL's all of a sudden was certainly a surprise.

What BLs were you most disappointed in this year?

I don't know that I've been disappointed in anything, because if I'm not enjoying something, I'll cheerfully quit and think nothing more of it. I'll also find something to cling to to avoid disappointment. So, as much as Vice Versa is an easy target, I'll pick that because I think it had a lot of potential and fell way short. No hate, it was cute, I just spent most of it with my head in my hands. But I'd subject myself to fates worse than death for Neo bloody Trai, as it turns out.

What was your favorite BL of the year?

The Eclipse. I simp for First and Khaotung, so both of them together is a recipe for my own personal disaster. Also, see aforementioned Neo.

Who are your favorite BL couples (not just in 2022)?

AkkAyan (The Eclipse)

AouFuse (Vice Versa)

Ji Woo/Seo Joon (To My Star)

KanThua (The Eclipse)

PatPran (Bad Buddy)

PrapaiSky (Love in the Air)

VeeMark (Love Mechanics)

If you had to suggest a BL for someone, what would it be?

I'm using the promise of the occasional motorbike to lure Julia in, so LITA comes to mind, but honestly probably Bad Buddy, because that's where I started and it worked for me? The only drama is minor and is resolved, it's cosy, it's silly, it waits patiently to gut-punch you, and overall it's just... perfect.

What was your favorite non-BL this year?

I genuinely don't think I've watched anything much this year. I'm boring. Leverage: Redemption is probably the only thing? It makes my soul happy.

Tagging: @aroceu @mushiemadarame @bi-wuxian idk if i have any other bl-adjacent mutuals so. but if u wanna do this and say i tagged u, i'll retrospectively tag ya
