I'd be curious to see a popularity ranking among Thai viewers as well. But I would say this list is probably accurate…
I get that. Im not a big fan of Bright, but im glad to see him not getting typecasted into BLs. And even amongst his non-BL roles, he seems to be playing different types of characters. So im happy for his apparent success and popularity - despite me not being a fan personally.

Yea, Yin and War have certainly been getting a lot of attention after Love Mechanics.
Mhm. Gulf (and his BL ship partner Mew) were really popular BL names for a while (and still, with older BL fans). Im glad to see them expanding into other main roles. 😊
This is on MDL. Where can I find the actor popularity ranking in Thailand?
Yea, I believe they get a notification if you reply to the article itself (like that first comment) or to their comments. I don't believe they get notifications if commenters start building off of each other's comments and forming a discussion thread. Could be wrong though. But that's how it works on posts.

Ah, gotcha. I misunderstood your comment. So those are the most popular BL actors in Thailand. Interesting. I can see why. And no, you were right the first time - 10 is the lowest. It has the lowest like counts of these 10.

Mile, Apo, Bible, Build, and Nunew weren't really on the radar when this article was written. And this is going by the like count on each actor's page (which is definitely still flawed, as many MDL users don't really see a point to liking a page - as it doesn't actually show support to the actor, nor does it have an applicable purpose such as giving you a notification when a new title is added).
Billikin still only has 765 likes. PP with 985. They're certainly well-liked, but they arent well-hyped, if you get what I mean. And none of the other actors have surpassed Bright's like count at the time of this being written either (although Bible is pretty close). Except for Zee that is - which might be a result of Cutie Pie, aka. after this article was written.

Not surprised about Gulf. He's got some good chops, and I've been seeing a lot of love/attention for that drama from lakorn fans on social media and in MDL feeds.
Thank you for the list! I have a handful of titles from some of them in my PTW, so even more reason for me to be excited when I'm able to get my hands on them. Any personal recommendations from these actors?
It seems like Ohm was forced into a criminal life by circumstances (don't know what crime yet, or what circumstances), which caused a giant rift with his family. Especially his brother (Perth) with whom he was super close with. There's also added tension because both Ohm and Perth love the same woman. It looks like it's gonna be an action-filled drama with violence, angst, and the lingering questions of whether these brothers can reconcile and if Perth will wind up getting goaded into a criminal life like his brother by the man who potentially orchestrated it all.
I'd be curious to see a popularity ranking among Thai viewers as well. But I would say this list is probably accurate for MDL stats. There's a lot of avid BL fans on here. It's also harder to find non-BL Thai series with international subs (i've tried), so it's probably skewed internationally off of MDL as well.

As for my favorite female leads, it’s definitely ones with awareness of herself and the situations she finds herself in. She stands by her values and goals even in the face of opposition, but knows when to back down or adjust if she causes harm to others in the process. She’s honest, hard working, and caring. 🫶
There were so many good and informative points in here. And i loved how they were punched with some summarized sentiments. I especially took pause at these 3: -American society links women's youth with sexiness, Japanese culture associates it with innocence. -Every criminal, every less-than-perfect person is not insulted as much as their mothers are. -I mean, if someone were to choose between doing something that's encouraged by everyone and portrayed as an ideal way to live VS something that they'll face obstacles and discrimination for — they're obviously not going to pick the latter.
“When it comes to the *over the top* Japanese style dramas, they are mostly if not always manga adaptations.” That’s definitely what ive been noticing in my jdrama journey as well.
I loved the analysis of characters as they fit (or dont) into the topic/characterizations at hand. Thank you so much for linking them. Ive added several to check out. Including my zodiac card one 😉
More leads need to stand up to overbearing family members/in-laws like that! That was great!
The safe driving disclaimer was fantastic! 😂
This episode was a bundle of fluff. BUT with a note of tension coming on. Their honeymoon phase is gonna be quite short-lived. Xun’an is used to sacrificing his interests and stances for the ones he cares about. But eventually that dissatisfaction will have built up too much to stay quiet. Bai Lang is so forceful and loud, that even with the best intentions (which he doesnt always have), he often steps on Xun’an’s toes - so to speak. 😬
And YAY! The end credit scene was from Alex’s perspective this time! And i KNEW he was awake during that scene! But hearing his internal thoughts about it was interesting. 🧐
I dont really care about the third couple. And it doesn’t help that they feel like school children. They could fit RIGHT into any HS/College BL perfectly.

Looks like we might be getting a different type of character from First. I'm excited!
