Here's my attempt at @sunsetknowsaboutyou‘s tag game. Thank you for tagging me @7nessasaryevils 🥰

1. your all time favorite bl and why

Ah I never have an answer for questions like this! I’m so mercurial, I change favourites almost everyday. If I had to pick just one, Gaya Sa Pelikula (Like in the Movies) would probably come out on top for me. The story was so simple yet so elegantly crafted, the characters, even the side characters, inhabited their spaces like real people, with their own backgrounds, motivations, dreams and flaws, which was only helped by the extraordinary performances of the actors. Add to that the phenomenal soundtrack which I still listen to today and I am lost.

2. that one bl that scarred you for life

Slgihtly controversial I know, but Addicted (Heroin). I think because I was enjoying it until I was very suddenly NOT enjoying it. I had a similar reaction to Waterboyy, but not as severely as I did Addicted. (I was lucky to avoid the emotional devastation of History 3: MODC due to seeing spoilers in the comments).

3. is there any bl that made you feel very single?

Bad Buddy is honestly the first to really make me feel anything like that. Pat and Pran really modelled the healthiest relationship I have ever seen in any show, BL or het, Asian or Western. And they did it while also not shying away from the realities of relationships - the fights, the less than perfect families, the annoying habits.

4. if you could change one thing from a bl, which one would it be?

I realise this is meant to be one thing from one BL but who could pick just one for just one show? Unfortunately the BL drama industry is endemic with some seriously messed up nonsense. My true, true abhorred is the top-bottom dynamic in its most predatory form found throughout so many BL shows. Plus the toxic femme fatale trope, it’s 2022, let’s move past this please.

6. your top five:

Obviously Gaya Sa Pelikula is up there. Bad Buddy shoved its way in at episode 4 and hasn’t left since. Until We Meet Again has to be in there, though I’m still salty we didn’t get the ManaowDel storyline we deserved. History 3: Trapped, my beloved himbo cop and his soft gangster boyfriend. Manner of Death, watching this as it came out was a wild af ride, I had it on while I was in zoom classes because I was so desperate to know what happened 😂

Special mentions: He’s Coming to Me, A Tale of a Thousands Stars, & We Best Love.

7. that trashy bl that you lowkey like

YYY, I am an unabashed fan of the batshit crazy

8. your favorite korean bl (it’s important we know)

Long Time, No See (Strongberry, my beloved). This could literally be pure fanfiction, and I mean this in only the most glowing way. An assassin of a Korean gang is also secretly an author of a popular queer web novel and he meets his number one fan, who he’s been talking to online for some time, and they fall for each other hard. Plot twist? Mr Number One fan is also a hitman but for his rival gang. Amazing.

9. but also your top 3 for kbls

Other than Long Time, No See: Where Your Eyes Linger (my first), Colour Rush (for the audacity of being an actual colourblind soulmates AU), and if I’m truly, truly honest, a short film called Do You Want? It’s only 6 minutes long but I can’t count how many times I’ve rewatched it - give it a go, you won’t be disappointed. (There’s also a GL and het version)

10. season 2? which one?

My Engineer for RamKing only please. Otherwise I'm not generally bothered by second seasons.

11. a bunch of dramas will air soon. which ones are you the most excited for?

I was incredibly excited for Not Me, but Bad Buddy kind of derailed it for me, oops, looking forward to getting into it now though! I have high hopes for KinnPorsche too

12. tag them!

Just tagging people that I don't think I've seen do this so far, sorry if you have been tagged before!
