The poor but loved boy struggling with his own issues and the rich but frankly neglected young man who's struggling to find his own worth... oh, I love this kind of pairing. Please. The babies. I already love them both so much. They're so darling.

And the best friend who's crossdressing for a boy who's already got a girlfriend and is obviously just so desperate for love that he'll do anything for love... I am dying y'all. I don't even know what to do. How do I handle all this love and these darling babies?

I'm 2:23 minutes into About Youth ep 1.

It looks cute, but all I can think about is how Jyun who plays Xu Qi Zhang looks like a cross between Yacht Patsit (love by chance and others) and Thomas Cheng (make our days count) and Toey Sittiwat (make it right).

And Li Zhen Hao who plays Ye Giang just looks like a baby Singto Prachaya (sotus and others).

Edit: Andy Huang who plays Ah Jian looks like Wang Zi Yi (why women love (a cdrama, not bl)).

TWBL: Third season started over the weekend #womensBaseball

Twelve teams will play 66 games over 11 weekends, with the top team advancing to playoffs where they get to play for the title. It is now 20 years since women’s baseball started at Taiwan and the continuous popularity of women’s team, be it in TWBL or mixed men and women leagues show, the sport in the country is…

⛩️浅草バスケ祭り🧧 Feat. Christmas Day 🎄が今週末にやってくる。🍎

A Group はいま現在の1、2、3位同士でお互いを相殺し合う過酷な死のグル��プなのである☠️

全3チームが9ポイントと同立である。一歩有利なのはまだ無敗のSpida-Mitchell 🕷️だが、X’mas Day の結果次第ではこの先安心はできない。

B Group は4、5、6、7位が総当たりを行う。

A Group と違って1試合多い分、1勝して勝ち点②点を多く取れる可能性があり、A Groupの結果次第ではあるが一気に1位になる可能性まですらあるチームもある。

未来は誰にも分からない。

わかっている事は未来は1人のチカラでも変えれる可能性があるという事だけだ。

君はチームのサンタクロース🧑🏻‍🎄になれるのか？

Shan! One of the things that I’ve loved learning during my Old GMMTV Challenge project is discovering filmmakers and watching through their project lists. Do you follow specific directors or screenwriters for Asian dramas? If so, who are they, and why? And which dramas of their do you recommend?

A fun one, and an area where I know we actually differ in our approach. In short, my answer to your first question is yes, but also no. :)

By which I mean, I generally do pay attention to who creates the shows I watch, because when I am impressed or infuriated by a drama I like to know who is behind it so I can look into their other work, either to pursue or avoid it. Sometimes I have to go looking for that information, but there are some creators who have such an obvious style that it sets them apart and makes it near impossible to miss the connections between their shows (Kim Eun Sook in kdrama, Aof Noppharnach and Jojo Tichakorn in tbl, Hwang Da Seul in kbl, Lin Pei Yu in twbl, etc). With those I might start something unknowingly and then be like wait a minute is this X’s work? I do maintain awareness and keep creators’ other works in mind when I watch something new because it's fun to look for themes across a body of work, and frankly, to know where the pitfalls are likely to come in.

That said, I do not feel any need to be a completist about any one auteur's resume, I don’t intentionally sit down to watch a creator's work in an organized way, and I actually prefer not to know that much about their personal lives, because I like to focus on the fictional stories without too much real world gunk getting in the way and clouding my reads. I am a "let the art speak for itself" girlie; I'm less interested in authorial intent than in allowing stories breathing room to be interpreted by the audience. I do believe in the Death of the Author school of thought and I don't think it's great when creators try to do too much to control how their work is perceived. One of my current beefs with the Only Friends watch experience is that there is so much real world gunk (branded pairs, shipping and actor stanning, creators posting on social media with context that is not included in the actual canon) getting in the way and messing with interpretations of the show.

Once you get into a fandom at all you will inevitably be exposed to a ton of this kind of thing whether you like it or not. And it comes up a lot in bl because so many shows are adapted from pre-existing source material and rely on known actor pairs, which inevitably affects discourse because people come to these shows with a lot of baggage even before they begin. But I am always interested in story first. I dove into I Feel You Linger in the Air and Absolute Zero with zero hesitation because timey wimey soulmate shit is my jam, not because these shows were made by Tee Bundit and New Siwaj (in fact that would be more of a deterrent than anything if I let it dictate my viewing choices).

So while I am interested in the undercurrent of melancholy across Aof's works, and Jojo's devotion to messy ensemble pieces where everyone is a little bit of an asshole, and Kim Eun Sook's uncanny ability to tap into the zeitgeist and create banger after banger across a range of genres, I don't need to know too much about why their areas of focus are important to them or how it relates to their personal experiences. I prefer not to use fiction as a means to psychoanalyze the real people who create it; instead I just try to engage with and appreciate their art as art and afford them respect as creative geniuses without making assumptions about how each work is meant to reflect their real experiences. Understanding some basic demographics about creators (as in, do they have the appropriate lived experiences to be telling the stories they choose) is about as far as my curiosity goes.

Question 1 TL;DR: I do like to pay attention to who creates the shows I watch so that I can follow the themes in their work, but I am not interested in following the creators themselves closely.

Question 2: who are the creators I recommend following? I have mentioned a lot of them above, and my overall recommendation is that if you are invested in a show, you should look to see who writes and directs it, not just who stars in it. Actors are of course important but usually it's the creative team behind them that really makes or breaks a drama, because they are the ones ultimately in control of the story. Having that grounding can be really helpful for setting expectations and in interpreting and processing what you watch, and also just for helping you find more of the kind of thing you will probably like. I’m extremely glad, for instance, that I watched Gay OK Bangkok before Only Friends, because it gave me a framework for understanding the themes they were likely to dig into. I also just finished watching Rainless Love in a Godless Land, which I was interested in due in large part to it sharing the same screenwriter as my all time favorite Taiwanese drama, Someday or One Day, and being able to pull out the similar themes and ideas across the two projects made it all the more interesting for me.

It's the way Yuki is removing the past to make way for the future and the way YingZe clings to the worries and fears of the past rather than facing the future. And how they are slowly learning about each other.

Because it's also about how they communicate and don't communicate. Yuki doesn't think to speak to YingZe first and YingZe cannot pause to process that.

And then we're seeing Yuki come back with clothing in the preview for the next episode, Yuki trying to show YingZe that he can rescue the past but also looking very unsure how to handle the past in their current relationship.

Because YingZe has an entire past, he has a daughter and an ex-wife and his own business and old customers and old clothing. Yuki comes to this without that past, washing away his own past to find this new relationship.

Lin Lin is the bridge between them in a lot of ways. She is YingZe's past but she's also looking to Yuki's future. She wants her father to be happy in the future and to be joyful and to love and to be loved and she wants all of that to happen with Yuki, her new rockstar dad.
