My Grandpa Is a BL Writer

Both BL lakorn with parody-esque premises that can lead you to misjudge them at face value. However, when actually watching the drama, you realize the unserious titles and synopses are merely segways to important social commentary and impactful character arcs. Written to provoke thought and evoke emotion.

If you liked the family and cross--generational aspects of one of the two, then you might want to check out the other. Both are Thai PBS productions and very similar in style.

What else is similar:
* cross-generational discussions about changing attitudes in Thai society
* family // found family -- kind but flawed characters trying their best, failing but never giving up.
* slice-of-life problems, and lower-to-middle class characters
* very light romance subplot
* both Grandpa Sak and Uncle Nok earn their livelihoods by writing and struggle with contemporary audiences at first
* cute background characters

What is different:
* Grandpa's and Grandson's relationship is stable and loving; Nok and Jan start out more antagonistic
* how relationships between parent and children are (not) resolved
* slightly different focus on social issues

I actually haven't started to watch My Grandpa is a BL Writer but from the description and title it reminded me BL Metamorphosis
