The Ex-Morning
I don’t know, I might drop this one. Krist’s character Padtaphi is such an annoying jerk. And a bully. His employee makes a mistake and Padtaphi yells at him and grabs him by his shirt, and shakes him violently. Gee, I wonder why no one wants to work with him. Really, such a mystery.
Singto is great, I love Aou, but every time Padtaphi is on screen I grit my teeth. And since he’s one of the leads it’s becoming a problem for me. I think I’ll give them one more episode this week and we’ll see.
The Next Prince
It’s very uneven. I enjoy it, it’s beautiful to look at, it’s usually entertaining and very sexy. And I ship Ramil/Paytai so hard. But I guess I expected something a bit better?
What I don’t like is sexism being all well and fine in Emmaly. It reminds me of real life and I don’t want my silly royalty BL to remind me of awful things from real life. I hate that Ava has like 3 minutes of screentime in each episode. I really hope that she will win the competition. Because it clearly won’t be Ramil. I think his redemption arc will be getting out of his abusive father’s control, and being happy in his kinky relationship with Paytai. Unless theirs will be a tragic tale ending in, I don’t know, separation and suffering, and maybe even death?
And aww, that dream Paytai had about a sweet, soft moment in bed with Ramil who’s tender and loving. My poor boy, I would love a happy ending for him. But if it will be angst and tragedy that’s fine with me, too. I love OTT relationship angst. Just don’t make it too realistic. 😊
But I’m also kinda meh on Khanin winning. I still love him, but he tested my patience in this episode quite a lot. I think the show wants me to see Khanin ordering Charan around as something cute and amusing. But I don’t know. Khanin doesn’t even ask if Charan is happy with his current situation. And for me Charan does look happy. It looks as if he’s doing something he loves. Something that is his passion. And Khanin wants him to abandon all this without a second thought.
The Bangkok Boy
I started it on a whim a few days ago and already watched three episodes. It’s a new Thai BL about an angsty romance between Sun, a son of a Thai gangster, and Peace, a son of a Korean gangster. Peace’s father wants to expand his business into Thailand, and he orders Peace (who has a Thai mother) to go there to oversee things. Peace is gentle and soft, and he would really prefer studying philosophy to selling drugs and killing people. But he has no choice because his father is an abusive and violent asshole.
Sun’s father is a gangster, too, but it’s fine because he’s an old-school good gangster. He has gambling dens and other illegal businesses, but he doesn’t want drugs on his territory, and he cares for ordinary people living there. Even if it means losing a future big profit he could get from drug trading. His enemies are bad gangsters (one of them is Peace’s dad), who only care about money. Another important information is that there is also a villainess called Madame Yao and she’s so hot. I wish she got a girlfriend. 😊
The main couple gives me strong Romeo & Romeo vibes. Hopefully without a tragic ending. I haven’t read any spoilers so I have no idea how it might end. I’m not ruling out an unhappy ending because this drama is rather dark and violent. But I like it a lot because this is a gangster drama and a revenge drama first and a BL drama second. Our two leads don’t even meet until the 3rd episode.
Six episodes aired for now. It airs on Gaga, and the first two episodes are available for free. On Gaga and on their Youtube channel here.

The trailer is here. And it looks good. Just please, no tragic ending for anyone, show, please. A lot of angst I can take, and I know there will be a lot on angst. It’s historical BL and two pairings with class difference after all. But give me a happy ending, I beg you. 😊

Spoilers for episode 5 here.
Oh yes, Ramil/Paytai is exactly my kind of ship. And wow, it sure does remind me of Vegas/Pete a lot. Ramil is so toxic and broken. Paytai is a poor woobie who is so desperately in love with that cruel, broken boy who hurts him. Their love is twisted and messy and complicated. And I’m here for it. I wish they showed at least one or two flashbacks to how it all started between them. But if the drama won’t deliver on that front, I hope at least there will be fanfic. 😊What I don’t like is sexism being all well and fine in Emmaly.
