BLove

BL philosophy:

BL is a guilty pleasure.
Know your kink. People who kink-shame can go hang.
BL rankings are obviously measured on a different scale
There are not many second seasons on the list, I am a foreplay sort of person ;)
A green flag is a red flag, no?
The important thing with GMMTV is knowing what not to watch.

BL facts:

Lipgloss in Thailand is no joke
Fashion in Taiwanese BLs is questionable
All lists must have 3 points XD

Existential BL:

Is there a job description for the guy who chooses the in-drama profile pictures for LINE / WeChat ect?
Spotting IKEA knick-knacks in drama

Some great BLs came out 2023/2024 so there is some major rearrangement taking place.

I recently watched the VietnameseBL 'Teenager Judge' which was insanely strong: 20 eps with no lull, rich story, mean character depth and growth and the romance and acting were brilliant. The topic was not for the faint hearted and it was gut wrenchingly sad at times, but I was deeply impressed with the actors. Certainly, it was better than many GMMTV productions which often have the nutritional value of cream puffs. In any case, I could hardly believe the traction of the story throughout the 20 eps was consistent and had me on the edge of my seat. I shall check out more of 02 Productions, they seem to be struggeling financially, and they deserve more attention!
