Another heatwave is here, damn. I thought we were done with those this year, but apparently not. Add to that a few minor health problems that just had to happen at the same time. Grrrr...

Fortunately I have plenty of good dramas and fanworks to cheer me up, so I’m making this a rec post.


I finally started Extraordinary Attorney Woo – a kdrama about a lawyer with autism spectrum disorder. It is as good as everybody said it was. I saw the first two episodes and I already love it. Park Eun Bin is fantastic, the other actors are great, too, it’s well written, and it’s adorable and heartwarming and optimistic. I wholeheartedly recommend it after just these two episodes.


Another drama recommendations is The Eclipse – a Thai BL from the genre I call “a respected and exclusive school hides a dark secret”. The Gifted was from the same genre. I was supposed to wait until all the episodes air before watching, but I didn’t have anything else to watch so I started it already last week. And that was a bad idea. ;) Because I enjoy it a lot. And only two episodes aired for now, and now it will be so hard to wait a week for each new episode.

The main couple is a classic enemies-to-lovers ship and I like them, but, and that is not surprising to me at all, I’m already head over heels with the secondary couple. Their names are Thua and Kan. Thua is openly gay and he clearly has a big crush on Kan. Kan, also very clearly, already has feelings for Thua, but he’s deeply in denial about it. He’s all “I’m so straight, see how many girls like me, please don’t joke about Thua being my boyfriend, somebody might get the wrong impression.” Which is absolutely the right impression, seriously. :) But he always protects Thua, and he’s not an asshole, which is so nice.

The Eclipse is on Youtube and here is the link to the 1st episode.

Thua and Kan are played by Louis Thanawin and Neo Trai Nimtawat, and they both so great and have such fantastic chemistry, that I also started watching another BL Fish Upon The Sky for them, where they also play the secondary couple. I watched four episodes for now, but I don’t know if I will watch more despite my newfound love for Neo and Louis. I have to fast-forward a lot – the main couple doesn’t work for me at all, there is a lot of cringy humor, and Neo’s character is very annoying.


So those were my drama recs, now let’s move to fanworks recs.


Don’t you just hate that thing when you’ve read the most perfect fic for your newest fascination and you check the author’s profile to see what else they wrote, and disappointingly find out that this perfect fic is the only fic the author wrote? For me it happened once with a Vincenzo fic. And now for the 2nd time with a KinnPorsche fic.

I’m talking about Machine Gun Kick, which is a fantastic almost 15.000 words long post-canon fic from Porsche’s POV. But in this case luckily for me the author decided to expanded it into a series of post-canon stories, and wrote three more long, fantastic fics in it from the POVs of Pete, Kim and Kinn. And I dearly hope there will be more. I don’t want to check my AO3 history for number of times I’ve read those four fics, because I’m sure that number is embarrassingly high. :)
