To stimulate discussion: Of the BLs you're watching right now (currently airing or old), which one is your favourite - and why?
Thanks for your answers (BabyFeat & Theo: "ThamePo", Onyx: "THK", Angeliviki: both of these, American Fan: "P10L").
In addition to these three great choices, my other three currently airing faves are "Your Sky", "Fourever You", and "Sangmin Dinneaw".
But yeah, my own personal winner is unquestionably "ThamePo". I love it viscerally. It gets everything right. It's so well cast, especially Est ("Still waters run deep."). I'm totally invested in Thame & Po. The story holds together and has surprising depth.
It also impresses me with how brilliantly GMMTV has been planning this for years, including through Project Alpha, and how they've stretched and grown their business model with a new way to bridge the worlds of BL and Tpop, thus also bridging the fandoms. Yeah, we've had plenty of individual idols (especially Jpop and Kpop) playing BL roles, and BL stars typically have to sing and dance, but the idea of a good story with an idol group being played by a real idol group designed also for acting ability ... this is new and exciting!
