BL Drama Lovers Club

 Olive:

I will watch it I love horror a lot and it looks good.

Cool! Actually I don't see a horror tag but after seeing the preview I made my own assumption, haha. Anyways it looks funny in the best way so I'm excited. 

 Indie Art Girl:

I can't imagine the work!! I watched a set of dance practices by Stray Kids and it looks really hard! But I have not one coordinated bone in my body. 

It is really hard and for my team we learn the dance in 2 days and have to know it by heart the next weekend so we can start practicing for our first competition. It is hard but when it is your life you have to get used to it.

 Blissy:

I want to join

Welcome!

 Indie Art Girl:

 It's looks like so much fun

The trailer already put a big smile on my face.  😁  I’m definitely watching this!

ABO Desire:  I don’t know who Shen Wen Lang thinks he’s fooling . He’s been in love with Gao Tu forever, he just refuses to admit it. 🤣

Memoir of Rati:  This show had everything I love in a period drama. It’s visually stunning, the costumes are flawless, and the sets beautifully capture early 20th-century Thailand. The writing is sensitive, and the cast delivers such powerful performances that the whole thing feels like a hidden gem.

1. P’Thee and K’Rati — a love that defies the world

“Our story is a testament that heaven could send someone to love another with an unwavering heart.”

This line perfectly sums up P’Thee. He’s quiet, reserved, and easily the most idealistic character in the series. He challenges the rigid norms of aristocracy for love, but he’s also weighed down by tradition and family expectations. His inner conflict is between who he’s supposed to be and who he truly is. But from the moment he met K’Rati, his love never wavered — not once — despite all the social and hierarchical barriers.

K’Rati, coming from a humble background, is constantly aware of the gap between himself and the elite. His past taught him to be cautious, which makes him guarded and sometimes even distrustful. He worries that his history makes him “unworthy” in the eyes of society and P’Thee’s family. That fear leads him to hold back emotionally, and at times, even push Thee away, which honestly frustrated me a bit.

But P’Thee’s affection and emotional stability help K’Rati realize that his worth isn’t defined by where he came from, but by who he is. Their romance is built on tenderness, mutual respect, and admiration.

Great and Inn always deliver heartfelt performances. Their chemistry is undeniable, and I’d love to see them together on screen more often.

2. Mek and Dech — a love that battles itself

They stole every scene they were in. Unlike the quiet, mature love between P’Thee and K’Rati, Mek and Dech’s relationship is impulsive, almost youthful. What started as rivalry turned into friendship, and eventually blossomed into a romance full of discovery and conflict.

Mek is a hardworking, disciplined man who takes pride in his strength and independence. He’s blunt, firm, and never hides his humble roots. He’s loyal and honest, and beneath his tough exterior, he’s surprisingly vulnerable, especially when he feels “less than” because of his background. He protects the people he loves with fierce intensity, and his relationship with Dech reveals a softer, even shy side that makes him one of the most compelling characters in the series. He represents the raw, honest, and resilient spirit of the working class in that era.

Dech, despite being from a noble family, is kind and curious. He shows genuine empathy toward everyone around him. Sometimes he’s a little too trusting, which makes him come off as naïve. But his love for Mek is sincere and free of arrogance. He doesn’t see Mek as beneath him but as someone he can grow with.

I’m really happy to see Aou and Boom getting the recognition they deserve. They’re incredibly talented actors.

3. Nareerat — the character that made my blood boil

She was hands down the most infuriating character in the series. Honestly, she’s tied with Thida (Uea’s mom from Bed Friend) for the top spot on my “most annoying characters of all time” list. While Dech’s father is just an ignorant, spoiled man who can’t handle being challenged, Nareerat is downright cruel. I get that she represents the conservative voice of the Thai elite and the resistance to social change that Thee faces, but that doesn’t make her someone I can sympathize with.

Even when faced with the possibility of never seeing her grandson again, she still chose family honor and reputation above all else. That made me want her to spend the rest of her days locked away in that cold, lonely room.

That said, Tarika Thidathit deserves all the praise. She brought Nareerat to life with such quiet authority, no dramatic gestures needed. Her subtle expressions and calm demeanor carried the full weight of family expectations and tradition.

I didn’t expect to write this much about the series, but it’s just so rich and layered. It really got under my skin in the best way.

ABO Desire - episode 11

This series is just not doing it for me anymore.

 RXinw:

I have not encountered much romance so far, and hopefully that remains through to the end. I have very little interest in straight romance these days. 

I wasn't referring to straight romance. I was just curious. I hope ur enjoying it!

I am loving it so far. I am moving at a fast pace considering I am already on episode 13.

 p43425:

Just finished "Sannin Fufu" (Netflix: "Two Husbands, One Wife"). As the name suggests, it's about a three-way marriage, with BL only an ancillary component - so I hope no one gets annoyed with me for posting it in this group. Anyways, I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Although the BL leg of the triangle is limited, it's a sweet poly relationship comedy which explores the various problems they face. It's not brilliant, but it's a reasonably nice watch and has the virtue of being something different than the usual BL tropes.

Now I’m intrigued
