Truly the beginning of the end for quality Thai BLGood scripts are now rare as hens’ teeth
And they’re still not as popular as the ones that focus on men’s emotional development, challenge masculinity and prevailing sexual ethics, or don’t have naked men bonking in the first episode to drive views.
Call me when even one of them matches The Untamed views in the tens of billions and queer inspirational value 👍🏼
Don’t think you hate him as much as I hate him, I cried so much! I was so angry with him!
Rebel Princess is top tier CDrama also: intelligent, feisty male female lead, a romantic warrior Lord and well executed tension along with exquisite romance.
I loved My Journey to You even though some prefer a not so open-ending. I’m still enjoying (1/2 way though) The Best Thing which is romantic in a healing way. Both have the same ML Zhang Ling He, and you’ll love the way he loves in both.
Captivating the King is probably the last KDrama romance I enjoyed.
If I think of anything else I’ll ping you. Everyone seems to have this identical problem after PoB episode 36 ha ha 😝

In the end I felt a bit sad for him as a pitiable character. Perhaps the lesson is not to marry a man beneath your own intelligence as he will drag you both down.
Look at the way Wei Shao made the decision as to whether to return home or to liberate Panyi first. He and Xiao Qiao would both agree on the decision that he ultimately made because they are evenly matched in intelligence.
How did you like it though? Did you finish the final episode?
Just finished Ep 33 which was so well written and executed (like every other episode), so romantic, the marriage consummation based on such meaningful consent, the love based on care, respect and understanding, and the ending so poignant I’m now afraid to watch episode 34 😭
More money allocated to a serious writer and less to CGI and optics I beg.
I appreciate what the team tried to do with the adventure and humour segments but it needed a more accomplished writer to weave these aspects together coherently along with the poorly executed expositions, so the second hour leaves an impression somewhere near as strong as the first.
Would’ve liked to see Charan make an effort to send an ambulance back to the house; more concern from Khanin for his possible injured or dead “father”; antiseptic and bandage for Charan’s stab wound; and perhaps Khanin helping Charan through his anxiety during the plane turbulence.
Otherwise not a bad episode but a much weaker episode than the first because the visuals got far more attention than the narrative.
At episode 8 and loving everything about A Life For a Life so far.
Didn’t expect the romance element between the main pair to develop so sweetly in the midst of a much heavier and darker narrative about justice and judgement.
While the first romance delivers sweetness with humour and heart-warming intimacy the second love affair takes us emotionally to deeper and more wrenching places but I’m hopeful for them as we’re only halfway through.
If you’re not put off by mature, complex narrative don’t let the rating put you off - jump in
The premise is an old one but a great one in terms of romance tropes ( is this story adapted from a novel?). Everything looks beautiful - aesthetics are this studios’ strong point, but although I would’ve loved to see a stronger script it was only obvious in very few scenes; the scenes that were the most important were very well executed by the whole team.
Where the protagonist discovers his real roots and that the man who raised him is not indeed not his father, were done really well and I cried every time including the parts that made me smile. They did a very good job stimulating our emotions without reducing them via the usually base, hackneyed methods. This is ideal for any BL opening episode to successfully convince the audience to want to know more about the characters’ stories and not simply to support their faves appearing on-screen.
I also like that we have a confident and competent Uke, I celebrate the absence of an abusive-for-no-reason Seme and that the old dynamic between this CP has been turned around. Incidentally this is the reason people are bored with most CPs in Thai BL: because stale Directors are not giving popular actors good scripts, not because they’re tired of seeing the actors together.
I love that the “father” is acting in the character role traditionally given to a mother figure, and that his fathering is characterised primarily by the most important component of love, which is Care. The father does not impose traditional ideas about gender roles or masculinity on the son, which is the only way you can truly love and raise a child with a healthy, non-distorted, self conception - of any sex or sexuality.

I feel so bereft now. Last night I rewatched some of Nirvana in Fire to get over my withdrawal 😀.
Just heard about Blazing Elegance and that it’s got a good dose of BL flavourings so I’m off to immerse myself in that.
What are you watching next?

For episode 1 I say Bravo to the entire team!
A proper horror show that people still fighting over. I’m dying 🤣🤣🤣
