Editorials RM's BL defining dramas
PAK ng defining???? AHAHAHA as someone who enjoys BLs, queer narratives are more than sexual acts for clout and visuals (eme).
Anyway, here are some of the BLs I've watched with good plot and storytelling.
-
1. Not Me
Thai Drama - 2021, 14 episodes
best one yet! Politically relevant with a clear message that queer narratives in media are a form of protest. Beautifully -written and executed. Love that for offgun!

2. Bad Buddy
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Enemies to friends to enemies to ???? to lovers. A light drama which gave me a lot of insights about queer relationships and their usual dynamics. Good placement of PPLs too.

3. My Only 12%
Thai Drama - 2022, 14 episodes
Love is just love. I feel like one of the lead's journey in exploring their sexuality and identity was realistically shown in this series-- it was beautiful yet was also painfully relatable. Every episode is painful at some point however, I do find the overall plot comforting. A good watch for those wanting to relive their pasts and rethink about their queer awakening.

4. Until We Meet Again
Thai Drama - 2019, 17 episodes
TW: Suicide, Homophobia, Domestic Abuse, Verbal Abuse, Physical Abuse
Certainly, queerness was an abomination for people in the past generations to a point it brought harm to our queer people. While we are living in a much more open-minded society now, still, violence is rampant against the queer community. Seeking justice and even forgiveness is realistically difficult to achieve. Until We Meet Again tries to portray such events carefully and thoughtfully.
While redemption was seen in the end, clearly it's not the case for everyone who seeked and continuously seeks for their voices to be heard, be accepted, and simply be respected in this society. The series shows us the how comes and what ifs, raising our awareness and push us to sel-reflect.
I found it empowering to see veteran actors and actresses who joined as guest casts make a statement in joining our calls for justice and acceptance through this work.
All in all, i loved this drama. cried a lot too. sorry for the lengthy word vomit. skdhskdhsdk
