You know what I was watching lately? A long commercial for a grocery chain in Thailand. And you know what? I loved it. :)
It’s true – TOPS, the Thai grocery chain, made a commercial in the form of 21 episodes of the BL web drama called “Ingredients” with Jeff Satur and Gameplay Garnapaphon as the leads. And it’s a sweet and fluffy slice-of-life roommates-to-friends-to-lovers story. Each episode is around 10-15 minutes long. The playlist with English subs is here on youtube.
The whole plot is basically about Tops (Gameplay’s character), who’s studying to be a chef, preparing different dishes in each episode, and Win (Jeff Satur’s character) eating it. And in the meantime they fall in love of course. :)
Advertising part means that Tops prepares all the food from ingredients bought in TOPS supermarket. But it’s done so naturally and unobtrusively that it doesn’t even feel like a commercial. I mean, I fast-forwarded through the more egregious product placement in BL dramas plenty of times, because it made me cringe in second-hand embarrassment. But here I watched 21 episodes without pressing a fast-forward button even once.
Jeff Satur and Gameplay have great chemistry. They are both very pretty and good actors, too. I read that Gameplay was supposed to play Chay in KinnPorsche and damn, I wish he did. I would be so into Kim/Chay then instead of finding them boring. :)
As an incentive for watching behind the cut there are two gifs from my favorite episode 12. It’s so adorable and funny that I watched it three times already. It always makes me laugh out loud. And there is a cute cat in it (it’s Gameplay’s real life cat).
After Ingredients I was so starved for more Jeff/Gameplay content that I watched He, She, It. It’s a very short (just 3 episodes each around 15 minutes long) horror BL drama. I watched all of it, but I don’t know if I can say that I enjoyed it. Horror is usually not my thing, and Jeff’s character Mike is an unlikable asshole here. He cheats on his girlfriend with Peem (Gameplay’s character), and then gets violent with Peem, because he thinks Peem is the one that informed Mike’s girlfriend about the cheating (Peem isn’t the one). But I’m sure horror lovers, who don’t mind the spoiler mentioned above, will appreciate this one more than I do. :)
He, She, It is also on Youtube with English subs. Here’s the link to part one.
