Ah yeah it is the lineup on November 3rd

Oh, I wasn't expecting the GMMTV 2027 lineup event to be so early ! It's happening three weeks earlier than last year's GMMTV 2026 event, which was at the end of November. I hope I'll be able to watch it live like I did last year. That was fun 😁

Will write more general bl things later and maybe edit this post.

Edit: My speculations were of course just my mind

Indie Art Girl:
cuz it's a bit boring. (Not as boring as Weirdo.) Smth is missing. I don't know if it's the story (or lack of), the chemistry or what. 🤔 Maybe it's me, lol.

i dropped it halfway thro

Indie Art Girl:
What isn't missing is product placements. If there was an award for the most ads in one series You Maniac might win, although I heard Police in Love has a crazy amount too.

😂😂

Tiffany:
but Paradise of Thorns was so good

i fully agree ✅💯

What is you guys' favorite BL movie? I think mine is The Blue Hour with Gun Atthaphan.

Thanks for the list. I've not yet seen "Blue Hour", despite my enthusiasm for Gun Attaphan, because it sounds so disturbing, but maybe I'll give it a try. (In addition to you, I had made a note for myself that Ju Moon was enthusiastic about it.)

I absolutely adore all three parts of the "Utsukarii Kare" / "My Beautiful Man" trilogy!

As to the other BL/LGBT titles on your list (have I missed any?):
I've not watched "Egoist", and I'd never heard of "Happy Together" before seeing it on your list, but both sound like real-life LGBT with some heavy themes rather than the escapist feel-good BL stuff that I like. (I'm an older gay guy who's had a lifetime of heavy real-life LGBT themes, including but not limited to growing up in a socially very conservative environment and various friends dying of AIDS back in that era, so that's my excuse!)

I've also not yet watched "Your Name Engraved Herein", likewise because the themes sound too familiarly unhappy, but I know it gets really good reviews, so it's theoretically on my PTW list.

In terms of proper feature-length movies (i.e. excluding movie versions of KBLs), here are a few other winners that I don't see on your list (sorry, I'm too lazy to check your complete watchlist to see if you've watched them):

"10Dance" (Netflix): Didn't do much for me personally as a BL love story, but it was an amazing watch, most of all for the competition ballroom dancing.

"My Bromance" (the 2014 movie with a very young Fluke Natouch): Really good, especially Fluke, but be warned that after the sweet first half, the second half gets very heavy. (Also be warned that the sequel is lousy.)

"Marry My Dead Body" (Taiwan original movie) and "The Red Envelope" (Thai remake starring Billkin and PP Krit). The original is more of a gay-themed police action-comedy than a proper BL, but it's really good. The Thai remake has a different vibe, mainly because of PP Krit, but is also really good in its own way. Note: If I remember right, I watched "Red Envelope" via VPN to Netflix Bangkok.

"Balloon's Landing" (Netflix): I wasn't really expecting much, but gosh, it was really really good - beautiful cinematography, beautiful music, good acting, engaging (albeit very confusing) story about the complex relationship (love story) between the protagonists. There seems to be some debate about whether it's bromance or BL, particularly as there are no NC scenes (other than shirtless) and not even a consummated kiss - but to me, it's definitely BL with powerful feelings.

"Silhouette of Your Voice": Original 2017 deafness-themed movie which was recently remade into the excellent series "I Hear The Sunspot". The original movie is also surprisingly good.

"Formula 17" (90-minute JBL on Youtube but in high-quality UHD): Gay comedy rather than BL in usual sense. Quite entertaining and sweet, much better than expected.

"Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard: The Movie": Movie sequel to the iconic series.

Hello Mr. P! I can't quote a long post but I can say I haven't yet watched My Bromance,, Balloon's Landing and Formula 17. I might watch the second one... But I'm in a drama slump right now so even watching one episode is too much for me.

I'm currently watching Grey's Anatomy from Western series and One Piece for anime. But maybe one day I'll get back to dramas and specifically BL. One day for sure!

I'm also quite the opposite... I'm not enjoying cute, bubbly unrealistic BLs as much as you guys. But that's okay, to each their own. I'm more into the realistic storylines and such.
