I like big ensemble casts (not only BLs) if the story and execution is really good, but yes, it's a challenge for the brain cells.
In the case of GMMTV (e.g. "P10L", "We Are" ...), it helps me quite a lot that I know the actors, so I can at least recognise them individually and mentally sort them out in my mind by actor name rather than character name. Otherwise, I would have to watch the first episode (or first part of movie) a few times until I know the characters. I remember the first time I watched the excellent movie "Gosford Park" (non-BL) how totally lost I was by the many characters in the top-notch ensemble cast, but after a few re-watches I finally got to know them all. Of course, that's a two-hour movie - re-watching 24 one-hour episodes of "P10L" would be a pretty major additional time commitment!
The easy-to-remember Anglicised Thai nicknames are also a big help here - if these were Korean or Chinese actor names, my "system" wouldn't be much of a help!
I learn to like big casts, too. Haha. 😅 I think I've never watched "Gosford Park" before. But I like "whodunits". You're right about re-watching all episodes of "P10L" would be a long lasting task, LOL. Therefore I really appreciate it, that they focus several episodes on one couple and their getting-to-know story and then continue with another couple. Then I've time getting used to the characters. I haven't watched many BL dramas yet, as I could say I recognize "him" or "him". 🤣
This year I want to catch up with BL dramas.
I haven't watched for example Bad Buddy, HIStory 3: Trapped, Love Mechanics, Never Let me Go, Only Friends etc. yet. To name a few. 🙈😗
I thought about starting with ThamePo this weekend..... 🥰 I've read only good things about it here. I gues, it's time for me and I'm in the mood for something like that.
