I wrote four fics for Yuletide this year. My assignment was for The Time of Fever, and then I wrote a treat for Laws of Attraction. I thought that would be it from me this year, since RL was kinda sucky. My sister was sick again, nothing serious, just one of common infections this time a year, but after the year she had I can’t help but get anxious every time she’s sick. But after a few days on antibiotics she got a lot better, and in the surge of relief and sudden inspiration I wrote a short ficlet for Moonlight Chicken and even a shorter one (a triple drabble) for The Time of Fever. 😊

Fics I wrote.

Tanthai never thought that he could have this – a normal life, a boring life, a life with someone who loves him, someone who said that they would never leave him. Tanthai never thought that he could be doing these normal things that people usually do with their boyfriends. Like watching silly movies in bed and munching on popcorn. Like joking and teasing each other, and laughing. But that’s what he and Thee are doing now.

Summary:

Waking up with Wen by his side was one of Jim’s favorite things.

And I have two other good things to rec.

Genic's new song FUN! FUN! FUN!

It’s catchy and very fun, indeed.

My Damn Business｜Ep.1-Ep.7 Complete Edition (Remastered)

This is the whole drama in one handy vid that is one hour and eight minutes long. Remastered means “sound and color adjustments”, and yep it definitely sounds better than the original vids. I think the subtitles are a bit better, too.

My visit with a new cardiologist went very well. I have new meds and they work well, too. I’m feeling, maybe not full of energy yet, but a little bit more energized. It’s a great feeling.


And now about fannish good things.


The official trailer for Zee and NuNew’s movie After Sundown is here. It’s like Cutie Pie, but with ghosts. 😊 It’s a movie, so I don’t think it will be available on Youtube, but I still hope they will make it available for the international audience somehow.


And since I missed ForceBook I re-watched A Boss And A Babe and then I watched Enchante. It’s their first drama, and I heard before that it was not good. And yeah, it’s not good. I wouldn’t say it’s horrible or unwatchable, or anything like that. But it’s boring and rather dull, and I fast-forwarded through almost all the scenes without Force and Book.

The best thing about it was Force’s character Akk. Force is great as Akk. Akk is kind and sweet and funny. But Book’s character Theo is just bland. He’s very pretty, so you know, he’s nice to look at, but that’s all there is with him for me. And IMO their kisses here are so awkward. They are so much better at kissing in A Boss And A Babe. 😊


And after that I watched Moonlight Chicken again, and found even more things to rave about. Another post with squee might be coming soon.


I also watch the kdrama Doctor Cha. It’s pretty good and I enjoy it. Or rather I did for the 11 episodes. I watched episode 12 yesterday and I didn’t finish it, because everything about it was rubbing me the wrong way. I’m so disappointed right now, and thinking about dropping it. I’ll give it a few days more, and then we’ll see.

But even as I was watching previous episodes it was a very shallow enjoyment on my part, I couldn’t get emotionally engaged. And there was one big reason for this. I’m talking about it below with minor spoilers.

The drama clearly wants me to be interested in Cha Jung Sook’s husband, and it wants the viewer to find him and his behavior amusing, I guess, even if at the same time despicable. I don’t. I just find him realistically horrible sexist jerk, who was cheating on his wife for years. Why would I want to watch that? I love villains, as everybody reading my dreamwidth knows, but he’s not some great villain, he’s just a small-minded asshole and I don’t see anything enjoyable or entertaining about him. I often fast-forward through his scenes, because I can’t stand him.

I also started watching another Kdrama Bloodhounds a week ago and I watched 5 episodes for now. And I like it a lot, and here I am very emotionally engaged. Woo Do Hwan is wonderful, there is a great bromance that lends itself very well to shipping (and I do ship them a lot, and I’ve already checked if there are fics on AO3, and there are a few, yay 😊). A few scenes were a bit too brutal for me, so I do fast-forward a little sometimes. But all in all it’s an entertaining drama.


And I started paying for GagaOOLala because of Our Dining Table and it was totally worth it. That drama was adorable and heart-warming and made me smile so much. And if you’re watched it and maybe didn’t notice, there is the 11th episode – a holiday special. And it’s also wonderful and super cute.

I don’t want to cancel my subscription yet, so now I feel like I should watch something else on Gaga to justify me paying for it. 😊

And I always forget that I can make polls now, so let’s make a poll. If you are a lurker or just passing by you can vote, too, if you want. 😊

I had to clean up my bookmarks again. So here have a post with links to trailers, fanvids and BTS vids I saved in the last few weeks.


Fanvid: Moonlight Chicken Jim/Wen - If you're ready


BTS vid - also for Moonlight Chicken, for the 1st episode.

It’s so cute and funny. Especially Mix having problems with the cat that really doesn’t want to stay in his lap. And I thought that kitty was so chill when I watched the drama. 😊

And I just have to say that if you want me to watch product placement scenes without fast-forwarding do it the way Moonlight Chicken did it - make it about cat food with beautiful men cuddling a pretty kitty.


Trailers:

Pray in Love - a Taiwanese BL drama. The original title “Qi An” literally means praying for peace in traditional Taiwanese culture. The drama tells the story of a romance between Officer Yuan, a policeman and Xian An, an illegitimate son of the rich Yang family. It looks like an angst fest. But no news when it will air for now.

Our Skyy 2: The Eclipse – the teaser for this week’s episode. I can’t wait.


Star Hunter, the company that made Big Dragon, presented their lineup for 2023. Here are the trailers that caught my attention.

Big Dragon The Movie - a sequel to the drama. It seems there will be flashbacks to how Mangkorn fell in love with Yai, intertwined with the post-drama scenes.

Sunset Vibes - the second MosBank drama. The guys who met through the dating app have a one-night stand, and then they meet the next day as the boss and the intern at the same company. Mos and Bank both look beautiful, their chemistry is great, and it looks like fun, a bit trashy, but entertaining.

Love Senior - a GL drama in university setting. It looks cute, with a lot of fluff sprinkled with a little bit of angst.

True Moon - it looks like a classic rich boy/poor boy antagonists-to-lovers drama. Could be fun.

AcadeX The Movie - a fantasy movie about a school for people with special gifts. It looks a bit of Harry Potteresque. There are four houses and the mysterious annual competition, and one student who’s the most special of them all. But he’s played by Bank, and I like him a lot, so I’m going to check it out. But according to this trailer the movie will not be airing until 2024.

This post is only about Thai dramas. There are two Korean BLs, Our Dating Sim and All The Liquors, I want to watch but I’m waiting for all the episodes to become available on VIKI.


A Boss and a Babe

A new drama, which only started airing last week, with another employee/employer office romance, and with a sunshine one/grumpy one pairing.

It’s cute. I can’t really say much more after one episode. The leads are good looking and they have nice chemistry. It’s nothing exceptional, but not too horrible – a nice, relaxing watch hopefully. I’m not impatient to watch everything at once, so it will be a great drama for one-episode-a-week watching for me.


My School President

So adorable, so optimistic, so heartwarming with a lovely happy ending. Now I can recommend it with a clear conscience.

Since one of the leads is in the band there are a lot of songs, at least one each episode, sometimes more. They’re not that bad, but still I fast-forwarded a little sometimes. I can stomach one song per episode, two or three is definitely too much for me. Unless the singer is called Jeff Satur. 😊

The two lead actors Gemini and Fourth are very talented despite being so young, and I’m very curious what will they do next. And I will definitely watch it. And by next I mean after “23.5”, that GL drama with Milk and Love, where they play the secondary BL couple, and which is supposed to air this year, although I don’t know when exactly.


Moonlight Chicken

It definitely stuck the landing. The last two episodes were very good. And again now I can recommend this drama with clear conscience.

I have just one super tiny complaint. I do think that maybe the drama solved all the problems a bit too neatly. Rationally I would prefer a bit more uncertainty and messiness in the ending. But emotionally, when RL sucks so much for me right now, I’m very grateful for the beautiful and optimistic happy ending.


Never Let Me Go

Someone called it GMMTV’s answer to KinnPorsche, and yeah, I can see that. There are a few similarities on the surface. It’s about a romance between a rich boy, who’s a bit spoiled, but mainly lonely and unhappy, and his loyal bodyguard. I’m writing ‘boy’ because the characters are both only 18 years old and still in high school.

I watched 9 episodes, and in general it’s ok I guess, but nothing special. But loyalty kink is one of my favorite iddy tropes, and this drama is chock-full of it. So I’m enjoying it a lot.

The lead actors Pond and Phuwin are both good enough actors (Pond is better, Phuwin is a bit weaker, but nothing too distracting). They are both very pretty, have nice chemistry and are very good at kissing. The proof is behind the cut in the form of three gifs. 😊

My Muse continues to be very generous, I write a lot and most of it is still filthy Big Dragon smut. 😊

I posted two new fics.

Summary: Yai woke up to the feeling of lips pressing heated kisses against the right side of his neck. He let out a low moan of pleasure, turning his head a bit more to the left giving his boyfriend better access. He was still only half-awake, body relaxed and pleasantly sore after the rough fucking he got last night, his limbs heavy and his mind a little bit fuzzy. But it felt so good, his world narrowed down to the lovely feeling of soft, hot lips trailing kisses on his neck, and a hard, hot body pressed against his side.

And here is my drama watching report.


I’m waiting for Crash Course in Romance to finish airing on Netflix before I start it. All the opinion I’ve seen are very positive, and I really hope I will like it, too.


I’m up to 19th episode od A League on Nobleman and I enjoy it so much. It’s so entertaining and slashy, and I adore Lan Jue, because he’s like tailor-made for my id. For me this drama is in the same vein as those other slashy historical crime cdramas I watched and enjoyed like Ancient Detective and The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty. There are a few fics on AO3 already, but I hope there will be more.


I finished GAP the Series, and the finale was lovely and cute. I’m so glad that this drama did so well, and was so popular. Because hopefully it means that there will be more Thai GL dramas in the future.


In contrast I’m pretty disappointed with the second half of History 5. I enjoyed the first five episodes so much, and then the plot went in the direction I found boring and stupid, and not in the entertaining way. I watched only half of the 8th episode and I got so bored that I decided to stop and wait until the last two episodes air. Maybe they will be better, and if not I’ll fast-forward through them to see if my favorite secondary couple got a happy ending.


I also watched the four available episodes of Thai BL drama Moonlight Chicken. I like it a lot, it’s good. With so many good actors, too (and they put First in glasses and he looks beautiful 😊). And it’s about complicated and messy relationships, and adult people with adult jobs and adult problems, which is always a big plus for me.

But surprisingly I also really enjoy the secondary couple of two high schoolers who have an antagonists-to-lovers romance. The actors Gemini and Fourth are so adorable and sweet together. But also – oh God, they are such babies. They are both only 18 years old. But they’re both very good, and now I’m tempted to watch My School President where they are leads. People are raving about this drama, but I wasn’t interested before because it’s a straightforward high school BL, and I rarely watch those.

Moonlight Chicken is available on Youtube, the link to the 1st episode is here. It’s a short drama, there will be only 8 episodes.
