BL drama news

I’ve started checking boyslove subreddit lately once or twice a week, since they seem to post a lot of accurate news about upcoming BL dramas. And that’s where I found this poster for the new BL sageuk Tinted With You.



Isn’t it beautiful? Here is the article with some information about the plot.


The other good news is this: there will be the 2nd season of The Man Who Defies the Word of BL, with the same cast, due March 2022. I’m so happy. I loved the 1st season and I found it hilarious, so I’m glad we’re getting more.


My latest BL drama watching:

I finished A Tale of Thousand Stars – it was ok, the main couple was sweet, but it was a bit dragged-out for me in the second half. It has 10 one-hour long episodes, but I feel like 8 would be more than enough.

I watched the 1st episode of We Best Love – the Taiwanese BL drama about two students who start as rivals at the university, but of course later they fall in love. I didn’t hate it but I also wasn’t wowed. I will probably watch the rest of it sometime in the future since it’s short – just 6 episodes. But dramas about students or high-schoolers have to work much harder at keeping my attention than dramas about adults with adult jobs.

And that’s why I started a re-watch of Manner of Death, since I don’t have any new BL dramas about adults to watch. And what a joy it is to watch again. 😊


I also watched a few trailers for upcoming Thai BL dramas, but only this one looks interesting to me:

Midnight Series: Moonlight Chicken – with the two leads from A Tale of Thousand Stars. I liked the actors in A Tale of Thousand Stars, they are both very pretty and have nice chemistry, so I plan to check this one, too.

*fingers crossed*

(I'm amused that they said one of the actors was in Extraordinary You, because I didn't recognise him, and when I checked asianwiki, he had one of the supporting bit parts. I don't remember his character at all! :-)

Tul Pakorn was recently teasing a season 2 of Manner of Death and I would be very pleased if that happened.

oh, I might have to try Tinted With You--I love historical setting. Have you watched that other one they mention, Nobleman Ryu's Wedding?

That poster is so sweet! I love the almost-kiss under the hat.
