to watch for mari

START HERE. made me smile, giggle, cry (when it was over). I WANT MORE!!!!! amazing acting, amazing cinematography, everything was amazing. a bit heavy at times (tackles physical abuse - NOT between the main leads). literally fell in love with them. this one felt reaaallllll like theyre real. just wow wowowowoowowowowoowoowowowowoowowow AGGGGGGGGGHHH

the emotions are a little heavier with this comment because I JUST finished watching this but o boy o boy o boy o boy is it good

short funny lighthearted, one of them pursues the other is scarrrreeeedddd of the whole gay thing. MY FIRST BL!!!! 

wanna take a moment with this one because after I watched it I had to take a moment. 

flawed main character. it was a hard watch for me because the main characters insecurities and all reminded me so much of myself (more past self but stilllllll) like the gut reactions he showed and general emotions portrayed was like A PUNCH IN THE GUT it was hard for me to like this character (not gonna lie skipped so many parts because I literally could not deal). but then the romanceee,,,,,,,,the loveeeeee,,,,,,, they were adorable and they talked and ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh love a communicative couple. like this one stuck with me still think about it from time to time. WHEN IS IT MY TURN

ABSOLUTE CINEMA. theres a thai version (that I watched first) which is way flufflier (I prefer that but I think u'll like this one more). one of them has been HEAVY crushing for YEARS other one clueless until his 30th birthday. soooooo CUTE. skip the other couple they annoyed me (but maybe u will like them who knows)

suuuuper super super super cute. two insecure idiots who really really like spending time with each other.

in this one a trans woman (who is like a celebrity singer I think)is transported back in time into the body of a count in like the 1800's, and she joins a rebellion (for queer love and freedom from slavery!!!!) and also falls in love.

at some point she gets saved from a situation and literally starts something akin to vogueing in front of the counts (whos body she is in) father (whos an uber-homophobe and a fascist). that moment stuck with me. 

tackles real big issues but is also some-how low stakes (because of the general tone) and packed with comedy.

 ok so this one is based on a book and the book was written to tackle real history (I read one reddit post about it quite a while ago so I might be wrong on some parts here) and in the book they directly connect it to thailands history and name specific place names and situations and such, and the show was criticised for essentially erasing this and creating a fake place or something, erasing the original meant impact of the novel. also in the books the main love interest was darker skinned (important because most thai media show really light-skinned actors (usually mixed like half chinese or korean or something) when most Thai people are darker skinned) and in this one they chose to cast a lighter skinned actor and just gave him a tan (yikessssssssss). still, reading about the original book and intended messaging (and then using my magic brain power to change the facts back within the show), made me like the show more if that makes sense. 

this one is more of a murder mystery with romance as a backdrop but it had me HOOOOOKEDDDDDDDDDD. 

this one is so typical --  like the most typical thing its hard to explain but if you watch it you'll know what I mean. its super short but so GOOD??????? nothing innovative but SO GOOD and like satisfying. I really really really enjoyed it

"The most beautiful period Thai Queer series of the decade"

LISTEN UP. 

this shit is so good

widely regarded as one of the best BLS (according to my tiktok feed and ME) just insanely good. deals with some tougher issues, real fleshed out characters, just UGHHHHHHHHH SO GOOD

skip the second couple I dont even know what was going on over there. 

in this one homophobia plays a bigger role but ughhhhhh so good. both characters are artists,,,,,,,,, they slowly fall in love ,,,,,,,, situations occur (as I am writing this I realize its been a while sinnce ive seen this and I do not remember everything but I do remember it was GOOD) when watching this I also read a few a reviews and they explained some cultural aspects that made me understand some of the characters actions a bit more (which I also LOVED learning). more serious tone like our youth and let free the curse (which I often cannot handle but I have to admit makes them more impactful)

did someone say fluff?????????????? and communication???????????? im sat. and you should be too. 

just one big cute fluff piece with characters that act their age and UFGHHHHHHHH I love them

slice of life - like I fell in love with the entire sitaution and the lives they were living, not just the characters. 

characters feel real and act their age and ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so good

regarded as one of the best bl's (according to tiktok, imdb, and me). romeo and juliet retelling (need I say more???? yes, yes I will)

This one is made so well, the actors are amazing, low but still high stakes, they were sooooooooo cute and I found th show to be really funny as well . GIVE IT A GO
