Drama watching

A Boss and a Babe

Fine show, you bought me. You get your own tag. I watched the 2nd episode and I’m so surprised, because I really like it. I might even say that I love it?

And I have to say that I really like this new wave of Thai BL dramas that care about consent, and put heartfelt massages about marriage equality and LGBTQ rights into their stories. And I haven’t heard the dialogue of the type: “So you like guys?”, “I don’t like guys, I only like him” for a long time. Now characters openly declare that they are gay or bisexual. Or if they don’t use these exact words they say that they like men, or that gender doesn’t matter for them.


Never Let Me Go

I finished it and I loved it. Loyalty kink was off the charts, and there was a lovely happy ending. Of course this is another small fandom, because that’s what I seem to fall in love with these days. There are around 70 fics on AO3, and I already read everything that appealed to me at least twice. I also might have started writing a fic. 😊

And I have two fanvid recs:

I get to love you


One last thought - it feels like it’s the age of understanding and supportive mothers in Thai BL. Apart from Nueng and Palm’s mothers in Never Let Me Go, there are Tinn and Gun’s moms in My School President, and Mangkorn’s mom in Big Dragon. You can count Pran’s mother in Bad Buddy, too, I think. She isn’t opposed to her son dating a guy, she’s opposed to that guy being Pat. 😊
