Drama watching (BL edition)

[maggie33]

I haven’t been here much in the last two weeks. Mainly because I’m not feeling well. Nothing very serious, just a few unpleasant perimenopausal symptoms that somehow hit me much harder than usual now. I wish they would go away. *sigh*

Anyway, dramas... Let’s talk about BL dramas that bring me joy.


Only Boo

Only Boo continues to be the cutest and sweetest high school BL with surprisingly good writing, and a gang of lovely and adorable boys making googly eyes at each other. I enjoy it very much. It’s so soft and optimistic, and unapologetic, and funny. And there are only three episodes left. Pity, I would gladly watch 16 episodes, or even 20.

More with spoilers here.

I admit I thought it would be a really chaste drama, My School President style, and that we’d get maybe one sweet, light, and short kiss in the last episode. But no, episode 9 and wow, that was quite a long make out session between Moo and Kang on the bed. These two are pretty good at kissing. 😊

And I love how they go meta about idols having to hide their RL relationship, because there are fans who wouldn’t like if they dated.

Moo says to Kang: “People can separate my work from my personal life”. And, ahh, Moo, you sweet, optimistic boy, I love you, but that is simply not true.

I wonder where they will go with this. This is such a fluffy, sweet, relatively angst free drama, I can’t imagine them doing something angst heavy with that subplot. But please, I can take everything, just not ‘I’m breaking up with you for your own good’ and forced a few-years-long separation when they don’t even stay in contact with each other.

Wandee Goodday

Only Boo is my fluffy Sunday drama, and Wandee Goodday is my fluffy Saturday drama. Add My Love Mix-Up, which starts on June the 7th, and I will have fluffy Friday drama, too.

Minor spoilers for the 5th episode here.

They are so in love already, my goodness. It will take them some time to admit it, I know, it’s only episode 5, and Yak absolutely can’t recognize for now that he already fell for Dee.

And I want more Yei and Cher, pretty please. I love Thor, and they have good chemistry.

And there was a sort of meta moment here, too, with all this cute and amusing squabbling over YoryakWandee or WandeeYoryak. It really felt as if they were saying ‘what does it matter’ to all those fans out there who care too much about that ‘the name placement = position’ thing in BL fandoms.

Two Worlds

I finally finished it. And listen, I love Max and Nat and they delivered when it came to chemistry and kissing, but the screenplay IMO was very weak, and the story stopped making sense in the second half. I fast-forwarded a lot while I was watching the last two episodes, because I completely lost interest in everybody but Jao and Wayu and they had very few scenes there. But that one scene in episode 9 was certainly memorable. Wow, just wow... *fans self* I might have started writing Jao/Wayu fic already, oops. 😊


Sunset Vibes

And here are more good BL news - Mos and Bank's new drama starts airing on June 15th on IQIYi. The official trailer is here. And I love it. Mos and Bank are hot, their chemistry is scorching, there is a secondary GL paring played by Lookkaew and Andy (who were great in Love Senior), and it looks sexy and entertaining. And the last scene in the trailer made me go ‘wait, what???’, but in a good way. I can’t wait for the next week.


And this post was supposed to be only about BL, and then I saw spoilery pics for Freen and Becky’s new drama The Loyal Pin. And I just have to share one of them with all of you. 😊

Very hot and a bit NSFW pic behind the cut.
