You can watch Gap The Series (GL series), which is now into its 2nd episode.

 

Have you watched About Youth?

Oh wow didn’t know that premiered already. I should get a MDL account to make things easier to keep track of  

 

About youth is on my future watchlist I was waiting to watch it after I finish history 4, whenever that will be

HIStory 4 is an amusing mess, with the fake boyfriends to real boyfriends trope and the stepbrothers to boyfriends trope. I didn't like the look of Teng (he's way too skinny). Two of the other 3 actors are quite hot and have nice abs.

 

Obviously, don't expect anything intellectual, and it contains the I-am-only-gay-for-this-one-dude trope, but it's fun while it lasted.

Just want to put out a statement ahead of the BLammy Ceremony. Firstly, thank you for all the ballots. I received 18 which is a new record. Thank you for lending your voices, even those who weren't very active in the BL community this year but still wanted to support With that being said, personally, seeing the results has been a personal disappointment for me. Not exactly because of the winners (for the most part, some deserved), but the lack of diversity in all aspects is honestly the worst this time around; and while you guys will get your kii's in on Sunday, I'm already bored of the impending reveal. Please broaden your regions and genres and do better next year!

 

 

 

 

 

Oh no looks like the #BLammySoThai strike again. Anyway thank you in advance for hosting the BLammys.

Bland Buddy would have been a lot more interesting if Ohm and Nanon had portrayed their characters like that.

[Genius1111]

 

 

I was looking forward to this. Hopefully we can vote for this show next year. 

[Genius1111]

 

I think it's my #3, of all the shows I have watched thus far.

the Bad Buddy theme song just won Best Original Song at the Asian TV Awards held today here in Manila. Nanon was here to accept the award in person.

So are Mile, Apo and Bible going to get killed (like Shakira) or be bought (like Ronaldo) in Saudi Arabia? 

 

(But yeah, Saudi Arabia has a bit of a gay scene where tops are thirsting to look for bottoms, from articles that I have read. The line of reasoning is that you aren't gay if you are inserting the appendage into a hole. )

[pearlmercury]

the bad buddy themed song didnt bother me when i watched the show but i listened to it carefully for the first time for blammys, i'm sorry those vocals are ass

 

[Genius1111]

 

I think I am the only one who's excited for this, because this board is rather anti-Newwie.

 

 

[Genius1111]

 

 

In real life, Louis is the confident top and Neo is the bottom. 

 

 

[Genius1111]

 

 

I think I am the only one here who watched the HK remake of Ossan's Love, but I just want to say that this theme song is great.

[Genius1111]

 

It's funnier when the two guys in a ship (NeoLouis) are competing against each other for the same girl. You can see that Neo is fuming that Louis has the singing abilities that he doesn't possess. (But props to Neo for trying to sneak in a shot of his abs.)

 

I am liking Louis more now, but sad that he's essentially abandoning the ship to focus on his studies.

Some redditors are saying that Perth Nakhun should be Adachi, and I would agree.

I kinda need a groundbreaking quality new BL to explode in popularity so I can have something to obsess over. Preferably starring hags that I already know who can serve improved acting and a boost of popularity for their careers

This TEA! BL's are just not giving like they're supposed to right now, they need new ideas, extremely bored nowadays and feeling my sanity slipping

Its gotten to the point where im watching so many Kdrama's to get my fix..... Yall please someone save me 

 

 

[Babymomo]

We have a bit of time until the BLammy's, so do any of you have show ideas that you would like to see made?

 

I have so many BL ideas that live in my head, and every day I dream about the potential of them. Imagine kdrama-length BLs with that flavor of melodrama...... foaming at the mouth at even the thought of it.

 

Here is mine. Sorry for the extreme length.

 

So this idea started out as a Korean version of the US show Uncoupled, which is a complete flop in my opinion and very unwatchable. Don't recommend it; ignore it, except for my unhinged show idea. So the show is about a recently heartbroken 30-40/50-year-old who has broken up with his male partner of over a decade or more, and now he has to go through the dating scene as a lost, heartbroken, yet still very much in love hag who's still very much in love with his ex. As I said, the show sucked, but I REALLY liked the premise and wrote an unhinged fanfic about it.

 

The MC: The Korean version has the same premise but is very different; it is also about a middle-aged guy who has been dumped by his partner of over 10-20 years; they could be high school or college sweethearts, it doesn't matter, but they're done and finished, but the main character is still not over him until he meets the main lead, and well, sparks fly and ish, and he becomes accustomed to the main lead that in the middle of the show his ex becomes a non factor until he shows up again like all heffas in these types of shows do and tries to win him back.

 

The ML: Now, for the main lead, I envision him as a widower who is still psychologically traumatized by his lost love. He is a successful businessman, but has become extremely detached after his wife's death. He begins to believe he is not meant for love anymore and solely focuses on his work and a little for his troubled family, something he is not that good at cause he lost touch with his children after his wife's death. That is, until he meets the MC after they become business partners because of their firm or sum, at which point he begins to doubt his sexuality and place in life and falls deeply in love again.

 

To go along with this and to give the show more substance, he and his late wife's children(4) are still dealing with the traumatic hell they went through, and as a result, all of them are suffering from some form of PTSD as a result of their mother's death, at least until the main character enters the picture. The eldest son suffers from severe depression and has attempted sewerside several times, thinking he could only be happy if he is with his mother, so his family removed him from school and keep a watchful eye, and he has become a sort of lost soul in his family until the main character emotionally bonds with him and makes him see that his passing isnt gonna lessen the pain and and he should value the family he still has. The second child, i.e., the daughter, suffers from severe anger issues, which have manifested in her becoming an iljin (bully), and she begins hanging out with a bad crowd and messes with a girl in her class who is the goddaughter of the MC(She is the MC's best friend's daughter, the MC is very close with these 2 as they know the MC sexuality and personal life, he was there when she was born, while the father of the GD wasn't). She gets suspended and is stuck at home and starts bonding with the MC, which leads to her finally having a healthy platonic friendship and a familial one since the MC starts helping her with her difficulties in school academically. Because of his goddaughter and their close relationship, he is especially good with her; he uses many of the activities they did together as he did with his GD. The two youngest still lack the maturity to understand the trauma of being present while their mother died, causing the third youngest, i.e., the second son, to have a very wild imagination that no one in the family understands except the main character, since he himself witnessed his mother's passing, and the youngest child, i.e., the second daughter, to become mute again, with the MC being the only one outside the older sister who understands how she views the world in her state.

 

All of this makes the family get attached to the MC until the MC finds out that his goddaughter was being heavily harassed by the girl he got close to (with his best friend, i.e., the mother of the goddaughter, being extremely heartbroken and feeling betrayed) as well as his ex coming back. Who knows, maybe the eldest daughter and the goddaughter will become best friends after she works through her anger issues and they both team up against the real bully in their class who has been manipulating them both? The eldest finally starts opening up to others and making friends, and the family as a whole finally understands each other and stops being so divided. (Before this, the family is weirded out by the young son's morbid monologues, and don't know how to deal with the eldest's sewerside ideation, and are annoyed by the eldest daughter being suspended again for behavioral issues or her heavy smoking etc etc.) So mess, drama, sensuality, found family, family bonding, mental health, and so forth, like y'all BLs could be so much more.

 

Anyway thoughts? Would like some feed back hehe!

I switched to chinese bromances and now I’m watching a chinese str8 show. That’s how bored and tired am rn when it comes to bls.
 

Nowadays especially thai bls it’s the same sh1t with new actors with 0 acting experience that have to act like social media stars to sell their tired ass ship.
