i cant .. i just cant !! seeing bas go through what he is going through ... never felt so much pain and emotion in i dunno forever .. i dont think i have it in me to even thinking of whats going to be next :(
amazing story n cute moments aside .. i just cant get over how cute lee is .. like omg .. so pretty n feels like so delicate too ... Angelic even
Damn i feel for Da on ya .. i dunno if he will end up being Da one for tae .. but his storyline is kinda tugging at my heart strings .. im kinda scared n have a weird feeling/wonder if they will be killing off the da one by the end .. i dont think i can handle to see him take his own life. I really hope they dont 13 reasons why him!!
but im happy for shin woo .. finally !!! waited for so long for him to have one happy moment which seem to be finally happening ..
Namgoong is one of those friends i wud love to have .. he just brightens up the scene n story wherever he appears .. such a perfect balance between being funny n dropping wisdom n care bombs .. he is def growing on me !!
Ok i may be wrong so feel free to correct me .. i did feel in the earlier episodes that sun being used as a goat for slaughter for his blood type will be coming into play n i was excited to see how they treat that plot line .. but Sky's reaction just felt like a very wrong timing to carry the execution ..
i mean if i was Sky considering i am distraught for not being able to save him despite being the same blood-type at the moment i would really be more thankful and have happy breakdown when his dad says he has been storing the blood which can save sun .. his dad cudve easily not done anything but he still bought sun's blood to save sun .. so yeah maybe post the whole surgery i wud've gotten really mad at sky's dad .. but at a critical point sky is yelling at his dad for saving his love's life .. kind of a weird move ..
n dont even get me started on his "worried" acting . i think theres plenty of posts about it already ..
And why dint anyone attend to Sky's wound on his chest .. i was getting freaked out by the minute that he was losing blood which is already scarce to begin with .. n nobody bothered to dress the wound or even pay any attention to it .. so much for "golden blood" .. lol
Also .. sky so needs some tricks .. like post the whole kiss n he begs sun to say that he loves him .. he just walks away after hearing the "im sorry", but tears were all over sun's face n not just the subtle tear eye .. i was kinda expecting sky to wipe the tears in slow mo n then storm off .. that wudve added so much intensity coz wiping suns tears wud have been sky's way of calling out sun's crap that sun's denial is a lie and his tears signify the love sun has for sky .. n wudve totally made sun more emo n senti about it .. n it wudve added so much flair n weightage to the storming off bit ..
Bank is probably the most well executed character .. i know he is comedic gag but its not overdone or over the top .. n is kinda cute .. n i love how pitch is also perfectly syncing to that tone .. i love both of them .. so kyaut !!
Just so heart warming .. its like comfort food .. like a cup of warm coffee .. or a strawberry green tea .. the music was so good .. the OST is also so charmy n groovy !! im missing it already !!
HOLY CRAP !!! .. i think this is one of best watches ive seen in a long time .. shit got reaaal serious right from the first episode ... TBH i dint like the first season much coz of some personal bias but i totally fell hook line and sinker for season 2 .. im not into intense dramas and despite being not a fan of Season 1 ... this season just kept me hooked .. i dint even dare to fast forward even by a bit .. Stupendous performances, good bg score, the editing, it was a crecendo of emotions in every single episode. The perspective camera shot of the last scene of third episode was wow I could really feel the performances of a few characters so much that i had goosebumps and in awe .. like khim .. in episode two .. i havent felt such an earnest emotion so much i think she walked away with all my appreciation in the episodes she was in .. jai i hate him but damn good performance i cud feel every beat and pulse of his character and traits .. and ok im not a fan of teh but Oh is just OHMGG .. knocked it out of the park. i wouldve been ok with any ending but this one was also quite good .. overall its a very mature story and amazeeee just made my day !!
Fish upon the Sky is just my latest fav, i started light on me and m loving it, We best love S1 and S2 obviously,…
i kinda agree .. infact in retrospect i think the toned down intimacy was one of the reasons i like asian BLs .. coming from watching some of the intensely dark and super racy shows in spanish .. this was such a welcome change and such a different feel ... Cherry magic was quite literally the high point of BLs since i started binging them a year ago i think .. coz it was just so pure and so well directed .. n i dint even realise when i finished the show that there was never an actual kiss until i read about it in the comments .. n i was quite surprised that it dint make much of a difference to me .. Yeah and well FUTS and infact a lot of other shows def had some parts where im like "yeah!! this so does not feel right!!" (like in history 4 i was literally saying that in every episode, not that i stopped watching it coz i need the complete info before feeling what i feel) .. and not that i can do much about it either coz its not my story to tell lol .. but i think i liked FUTS as much as i did coz of duen omg his comic skills were quite fun .. n the music .. the music/OST director needs to be given the credit coz it elevated the show for me and made me shazam all the songs into my playlist.
Im open to any recommendations if have missed out on any gems like cherry magic though :)
Fish upon the Sky is just my latest fav, i started light on me and m loving it, We best love S1 and S2 obviously,…
advance bravely is more or less complete .. like not a satisfactory one but it was a logical conclusion more or less .. but omg the chemistry n sass is just damn good .. no kiss though in AB, they do insinuate it happened however... but yeah i was surprised i liked it despite that .. wish it had a sequel .. it was last year show though .. not very new .. nah cherry magic is not bromance .. proper BL .. with damn cute people n story !! also history 4 is pretty ok .. and the new show beloved in house - I do is quite a worthwhile watch.

Guys, I’m out of bl’s to watch, please make recommendations. It doesn’t have to be Thai, it could be Vietnamese,…
Fish upon the Sky is just my latest fav, i started light on me and m loving it, We best love S1 and S2 obviously, cherry magic, history 4, Advance bravely, oh there r tons to watch unless u r me and have finished all of them lol.
Ok i liked this quite a bit and for once it was not a typical villain who meddled instead was the demons n possessiveness of the relationship which was quite interesting ... that i binged it ... and loved it actually!! But i got a few questions .. help me out please!! 1) Who is n what was going on with Keam ... i thought he was literally in love with a diff person in every episode .. first i thought he was in love with Aim, then Jin, then bbomb, then jack, then there was ball, and the two diff girls in between .. i think more than the main couple i was looking to what secrets is he holding out on .. coz omg the staring the glaring and him literally being friends with everyone ... and why n for whom was he binge drinking .. n who on earth does he love ? n Kudos to his performance that made me so confused and keep yelling "what on earth is going with keam" like in every episode.. 2) Well i dunno why everyone fell for Jin tbh, som som, n the other girl, n then there was Tong, well which was a misdirect ill live with it, i even felt U was in love with him at some point, and even jack. Why was everyone falling for him ?? .. As a character i dunno i really dint connect to that trait .. plus he dint feel like a playboy much either! if he had layers to his character .. i dunno i dint really feel much :( And like he got drunk in literally almost every episode and bbomb had to come pick him up every single time .. God bless his liver!! 3) Ok coming to Aim and the whole gangs plan .. this bothered me the most!! .. So correct me if im wrong .. bbomb was willing to date n declare their relationship .. it was jin who was hesitant n confused .. so why did the gang plan to make bbomb jealous instead of jin .. what was the point to rile up bbomb n push him away from jin .. all that ended up was bbomb misunderstanding and suspecting Jin constantly since they started dating .. wudnt it have made more sense to make jin jealous or something to make him realise the extent of his love and appreciate the love of bbomb .. n honestly this was the only point i kind of sided with jin .. if anyone suspected me for no reason n then said sorry n repeated this same cycle thrice ill be like wtf n give him the boot and go date keam or even Ultra. 4) And how can i forget Song and jay .. really ?? no closure ?? kaownah was just so effortless in his performance .. like he is easily the most comfortable n natural in his performance among the whole cast .. n turbo is just so adorbs.. i thoroughly enjoyed their presence in the show .. but srsly no closure to their characters ?? i felt their story was totally ignored and sidelined which i felt bad for ... but do they fall in love do they confess anything .. like plz tong and even singh got closure .. the last one was too much to ask ??!!
I went and rewatched the trailer, I don't know what you watched but every scene in the trailer was incorporated…
yeah ... it was a demo trailer apparently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ER_i1BcbQfQ - (timestamp - 2:35 and 3:29) ... which blew me away n i was like i have a feeling that im going to love this show.. i was waiting to see those scenes i feel they changed the setting of those scenes .. :( .. and of course the song they used in this trailer ...
but such great sound design n editing n choice of tracks i literally shazamd and created a playlist of all the bg scores in this show..
ok i mean it doesnt impact on how much i love this show like after a long time i liked a show like this much .. like soo much .. like soooo much ..
Oooh Thai BL .. constantly upping their game .. just the moment i feel they have hit a pinnacle and its going to be downhill from now on .. they just come up with something that blows me away .. and fish upon the sky .. well i guess the metaphor came true for me coz this show is totally it.
Well yeah plot wise its simple and some themes i ve seen before ... but the execution production and the performances, top-notch ones at that.. make it feel so different .. like damn good editing and the music .. one of the only BLs where im opening shazam on every episode coz the BGs are that good.
Coming to the characters... Pi yeah a bit indecisive n foolish .. but cmon atleast i have been mislead by emotions a lot ... and yeah like i wud so like punch him and say wakee up dude and smell the coffee .. but im hoping he eventually will .. but well at the end of the day he is human .. and making horrible decisions well i dont wanna hate him for making mistakes. Mork .. omg like srsly that expressions and eyes .. i dunno if its him or the editing but his character seems so fleshed out and so communicates everything important. Be it him as him or as the secret online friend. P.S he is effing HOTTT ok. Duen .. ok i did not expect to fall for him ... such a surprise i have seen him here n there in other shows .. but is he stealing the show or what .. damn amazing performance .. even the over the top scenes are not that cringe for some reason .. and i love how his story is like shows in a diff aspect ratio and all .. now thats some experimental subplot screenplay which i havent seen before. Mix .. i hope he gets some more part to play in this show .. Tale of 1000 stars was just too intense and very unidimensional albeit heavy ..
All in all i dont hate it at all .. i think i love it infact ... hate that i started before it ended coz i have to wait a whole week to watch the next episode.
But the music .. like i was surprised and kept like increasing the volume everytime a BG plays coz its just that good .. its like the tunes are in sync to the feeling that the scenes and dialogs evoke ... i have never seen global music being used in a thai BL so far .. i think last time this happened was for Gaya Sa pelikula ... and this show for me is the best music production for this year for sure.
And a special mention to all the fish themes props used everywhere. and the pleasant color palette..
Cant wait to see how it ends .. im sure it will be obvious but the execution is totally diff and i hope it doesnt disappoint.
I held off watching this show since a while as i wanted to binge watch it as a whole but i gave into my temptation at a weak moment and damn was this a nice watch. Production, music, the whole pastel pink/blue palette of colors i found it very charming and beautiful. Now coming to the acting bit of it, Up (gene) i find him to be doing a fabulous job, apart from being expressionally gifted he did not overperform any beat or rhythm of emotion .. except for maybe the scene when he was drunk, meh i can let it slide. But his acting i feel was perfect for my tastes like a fine bottle of Rose wine. Kao (nubsib) however i remember watching UWMA for him. Call me superficial but i like my eye candy and boiiii was he the sweetest of them all and i found his performance also quite good in UWMA as the conflicted broody gangster son. So him being in this show was a major selling point for me. But this is such a different persona from that show. Kao being all happy, chirpy, sweet, cute, flirty romantic, it took me a bit of time to fall for him (being shirtless def helped hehe)... coz Up was sooo stealing the show with his nerdy glasses and the subtle yet perfectly pitched performance. (Yes i have a type and taste !! SUE me for it lol) But eventually then came the episode of confrontation after Kao's character history is un"earth"ed (lol see what i did there :P) .. im not going to debate about the plot line coz i see its an ongoing discussion in a lot of threads, but that emotional scene when Up is mad at Kao, Kao shone brighter than everything!! even Up. Kao just stole that scene and walked away with my admiration. His tears and the sad face, the feeling he evokes, there is just some magic about Kao being sad. And not a lot of actors can pull it off so beautifully and without overdoing it. Kao has a stoic silent expression which hits me so much harder compared to characters who are weeping and wailing and all, no offence - just my preference!! Hate me for saying this but i want to see him crying n sad for a few more scenes coz he is just so good at it. Im kinda hesitant to see where the show is headed into next week and honestly m not a fan of the evil aoey build up so far. Lets hope the actors can outperform the story and save it for me.
okkk !! .. i love max and tul .. but where is this story going ... maybe i built up too many expectations .. the romance/the crimes/the side couple/ the conspiracy .. its just not complimenting each other .. i might enjoy the plotlines as diff shows .. i dunno what is going wrong .. is it the story/the direction/the screenplay/the editing or me .. but i feel an imbalance on the whole of it .. i might read the book just to get some closure as to why im feeling like this
the first few episodes started off with such a bang .. the murders, the getting to know the powerful people and key players, the town, the cops, the journalist, the school girls, her friends, and obvio max n tul, like the build up was fantastic sprinkled with just enough mystery n suspense to engage anyone .. but ever since the last two or three episodes i have been literally been holding on my almost dead hopes that the ending will be worth my patience .. i am super sad that i aint enjoying this as much as i had anticipated .. i might just rewatch TWM as an attempt tor resuscitate the feelings
the chief of police and that politician i just cant seem to buy into their performances/motivations for the crime i dunno if its weak performances or the visuals which seem to be trying too hard to be convincing, the eldest step brother .. what is his problem .. like he is doing a btr job than the afore-mentioned two but he dialed it up way high .. ok i know im being critical but i so need to get this off my chest .. so plz forgive me..
Max and tul .. i know they have their moments and their chemistry is just hotter than the sun .. but in this story its more like just a tease .. i know its like a crime BL .. i have seen history trapped and that was just fab but this one is just slipping down the slope .. like even the intimate scenes in MOD .. i went back n saw some from TWM .. they seem to be shot n captured way more beautifully than in this show .. i had some theories of the crimes in the first few episodes which honestly were way btr than what this turned out to be ..
Can i please get a job to write BL scripts, i can pull off any genre-mix too .. any place where i can write and submit them to the production houses. let me know.
i dunno if im sad about the show not being good or sad that i am unable to see it .. like im questioning myself coz i believed in this so much that now i feel something is wrong with me for not liking it .. if the ending is not good i swear im gonna be drowning myself at the end of a big bottle of vodka ... and i was saving wine in case this turned out to be immensely amazing.
lol talk about handcuffs finding their way into their romantic play hahahaha .. it just gave me a whole new level of energising excitement lol ... i just ended up laughing ... i was like expecting tan to say "look what you made me do" (ala taylor swift) :P when he left but damn this was a fun episode .. alas if only i could've written the dialogs for this show lol ..
n daaamn max is like so chiseled n sculpted .. for me he is like the hottest .. like 10 on 10 .. i literally had flashbacks of him right from together with me times .. like how he just stole my breath away at my first sight of him .. ah how i love him for being him .. and it will always be alive ..
and of course .. why wouldnt they have a flashback .. i mean it is a bit of a stereotype storyline .. sotus, 2wish/2wish2, 2gether to name a few .. ppl always knew each other in history ..its ok like im fine with it .. i just wonder was that meeting all that was there or was there more.
.. but scenes of romantic interests eating and then one wipes the others lips .. and then everything turns slow mo and romantic music starts playing .. close up shots .. now this sequence needs to be banned por favor .. like srsly find a new romantic sequence pleaseeeee .. literally every BL show and i mean every single BL show i watched had this sequence ..
im dying to know what happend in the next episode .. the post credits .. why was he aiming a gun at him .. oh tul what did you do .. dont tell me its just an upgrade of romantic toys from handcuffs to a handgun lol
i know its a thriller show but what is going on with the love story bit of it .. Max n Tul's romance feels like its a continuation from together with me .. their chemistry is toh giving me feels like they have been dating for ages .. no new romance is this sober .. is it ?? let me know otherwise .. i mean i love them hopelessly and whatever they are doing is charming too but i dunno i felt the new romance magic element feels a bit low .. i think i would buy their romance more if in this show they like dated in the past but separated and are back due to some issues and find themselves getting drawn to each other again.
Damn i feel for Da on ya .. i dunno if he will end up being Da one for tae .. but his storyline is kinda tugging at my heart strings .. im kinda scared n have a weird feeling/wonder if they will be killing off the da one by the end .. i dont think i can handle to see him take his own life. I really hope they dont 13 reasons why him!!
but im happy for shin woo .. finally !!! waited for so long for him to have one happy moment which seem to be finally happening ..

TBH i dint like the first season much coz of some personal bias but i totally fell hook line and sinker for season 2 .. im not into intense dramas and despite being not a fan of Season 1 ... this season just kept me hooked .. i dint even dare to fast forward even by a bit ..
Stupendous performances, good bg score, the editing, it was a crecendo of emotions in every single episode. The perspective camera shot of the last scene of third episode was wow
I could really feel the performances of a few characters so much that i had goosebumps and in awe .. like khim .. in episode two .. i havent felt such an earnest emotion so much i think she walked away with all my appreciation in the episodes she was in .. jai i hate him but damn good performance i cud feel every beat and pulse of his character and traits .. and ok im not a fan of teh but Oh is just OHMGG .. knocked it out of the park.
i wouldve been ok with any ending but this one was also quite good .. overall its a very mature story and amazeeee just made my day !!
Cherry magic was quite literally the high point of BLs since i started binging them a year ago i think .. coz it was just so pure and so well directed .. n i dint even realise when i finished the show that there was never an actual kiss until i read about it in the comments .. n i was quite surprised that it dint make much of a difference to me ..
Yeah and well FUTS and infact a lot of other shows def had some parts where im like "yeah!! this so does not feel right!!" (like in history 4 i was literally saying that in every episode, not that i stopped watching it coz i need the complete info before feeling what i feel) .. and not that i can do much about it either coz its not my story to tell lol .. but i think i liked FUTS as much as i did coz of duen omg his comic skills were quite fun .. n the music .. the music/OST director needs to be given the credit coz it elevated the show for me and made me shazam all the songs into my playlist.

nah cherry magic is not bromance .. proper BL .. with damn cute people n story !! also history 4 is pretty ok .. and the new show beloved in house - I do is quite a worthwhile watch.

ok i mean it doesnt impact on how much i love this show like after a long time i liked a show like this much .. like soo much .. like soooo much ..
where are some the scenes we got to see in the trailer ??

and whyyyyyyyyyyyy ... i was so hoping bam wud do it for any other reason than that !!

n daaamn max is like so chiseled n sculpted .. for me he is like the hottest .. like 10 on 10 .. i literally had flashbacks of him right from together with me times .. like how he just stole my breath away at my first sight of him .. ah how i love him for being him .. and it will always be alive ..
and of course .. why wouldnt they have a flashback .. i mean it is a bit of a stereotype storyline .. sotus, 2wish/2wish2, 2gether to name a few .. ppl always knew each other in history ..its ok like im fine with it .. i just wonder was that meeting all that was there or was there more.
.. but scenes of romantic interests eating and then one wipes the others lips .. and then everything turns slow mo and romantic music starts playing .. close up shots .. now this sequence needs to be banned por favor .. like srsly find a new romantic sequence pleaseeeee .. literally every BL show and i mean every single BL show i watched had this sequence ..
im dying to know what happend in the next episode .. the post credits .. why was he aiming a gun at him .. oh tul what did you do .. dont tell me its just an upgrade of romantic toys from handcuffs to a handgun lol
