discussion Boys Love | BL King '24 Announced! (Pg. 930)

[Genius1111]

 

 

Ian Pangilinan was #32 on last year's chart, but he also suffered the ignominy of getting 0 points this year. Despite a minor resurgence in Filipino BLs this year, only 2 actors from the archipelago could be found in the top 75, unfortunately. 

 

 

 

 

 

Job Thuchapon Koowongbundit, with a few sterling crying scenes in last year's hit The Massacre and Murder Miracle of Teddy Bear, nabbed him the #27 spot last year. Interestingly enough, his name is Chinese is Leng Shui, or Cold Water. However, the controversial ending of said Bear show has probably led to ATRLers pouring cold water on him, and he scores no points this year. Judo, who played his boyfriend, unsurprisingly also scored 0 points. 

 

Meanwhile, Inn Sarin has since moved on to GMMTV and also bulked up and can now be classified as a bear, but will he do well enough to place in the top 50?

 

[Genius1111]

 

 

KinnPorsche was all the rage last year, and Bible Wichapas scored 5 awards at the BLammys. Unfortunately, timing is key, and in the 11 months since then, ATRLers have moved on rather rapidly. This is not surprising given the sheer amount of scandalous chatter surrounding BeOnCloud and the actors, in particular Build Jakapan.

 

Mile scores 0 points this year (after ranking at #27 last year). Tong, Jeff and Bible score some points, but it's not enough to score a place in the bubbling under. Bible thus has dubious honor of scoring the most number of Blammy awards without ever charting on the BL King chart.

 

The only bright spot is Apo Nattawin, but will he have enough points to be in the top 50?

Oh wow.

i expected them being fads but not like this

[Genius1111]

Other cute facts and figures before we move on to the bubbling under...

 

1. The only actor to be mentioned by 2 members while still scoring under 10 points is Kim Seong Hyuk, who played Milk in the KBL web drama Choco Milkshake.

2. Phuwin Tangsakyuen is the only actor to receive 3 mentions and not place within the top 70. He is ranked #100, and is level on points with fellow Joylada Gang compatriots JoongDunk. Phuwin's other 2 ship partners, Neo Trai Nimtawat and Pond Naravit Lertratkosum are somewhere in the top 50. Pond is only mentioned by 2 members, but they seem to love him a lot, so he is placed rather high.

3. The cut-off to be in the top 100 is 16 points, the top 75 is 24 points, and the top 50 is 41 points (while noting that the #1 pick scores only 35 points). I am happy to announce that all your #1 picks have managed to place within the top 50 (phew)!

The host 15

 

I remembered last year there were a few members who managed to get 20 or 19 of their picks into the top 40 (and we could only list 20 actors last year), so it seems our tastes are pretty divergent this year.

 

Collectively, 151 different actors have been mentioned, and I will post the full list after revealing all the results.

not bad for my khia list

BUBBLING UNDER

 

Key

Last Year's Rank = N/A -> This means that prior to last year, this actor is a newbie who has just had his first breakthrough, or is a more seasoned actor but has not played a queer character until recently.

Last year's rank = DNC (did not chart) -> This means that this actor has acted in at least one BL prior to 2022 and has been eligible to be voted in since at least last year, but is only making his debut in the 2023 chart.

★ -> New entry

(C) -> Cameo

 

Tie-breaker rules

- In cases where actors are level on points, the actor who is mentioned more often is ranked ahead.

- In the event that there are multiple actors who have the same number of mentions, the actor who has attained the highest single rank/mention is ranked ahead.

 

 

This year's Rank	Last Year's Rank	Movement	Points	Mentions	Name	Shows	Country
75	N/A	★	24	2	Won Tae Min	Unintentional Love Story	South Korea
74	N/A	★	25	1	Satang Kittipop Sereevichayasawat	My School President, Our Skky 2: Star In My Mind	Thailand
73	N/A	★	25	2	Miyazawa Hio	his	Japan
72	DNC	★	26	2	Kim Kang Min	To My Star franchise	South Korea

 

 

 

My comment on Satang Kitty Poppers Kittipop: He is cute, is able to sing well, and is able to act both cutesy and angry scenes well. It's a pity that there aren't too many SatangWinny fans in this forum.

The way the girls here were gagging over him only for him to receive the BL kiss of death by starring in a show with Miss Legend (Fluke Natouch).

Meanwhile, BLAmmy nominee and highest rated cast member of The Miracle of Teddy Bear  on last year’s BL King, Inn Sarin, has a new show, as LEAD, on GMMTV, whose trailer has the second most views on Youtube from all GMMTV 2024 part 1 ones (only behind the trailer of a japanese adaptation starring the IT couple of GMMTV)

i like SatangWinny but its small appearance in MSP was not enough, there were many BL with a good cast this year, there was not room for everyone

 

Miyazawa Hio It hurt me that I forgot to put it on my list... his performance in the movie was spectacular... it's a shame that it didn't cross my mind... I realized that I forgot so many names.

Prepare for some shock and horror! I will give you a few moments to prepare yourself for what you're about to see.

66	9	↓57	29	2	Off Jumpol Adulkittiporn	Senior Secret Love: Puppy Honey franchise, Theory of Love, Not Me	Thailand

 

 

- The Anti-Krist has delivered sterling performances in the SOTUS franchise and Be My Favorite. In a ship that everyone said would be dead on arrival, Krist and Gawin have done what was presumed impossible and made Be My Favorite one of the most acclaimed shows of the year. But of course, an ex-homophobe is an ex-homophobe, and this will be the highest he will ever be.

- I would suppose that everyone expected a huge fall for last year's #1 actor Nanon Korapat Kirdpan, but man, that was a larger-than-expected plunge for the thespian who has come out as straight and gay4pay. 

- Another oof for the long-time top 10 inhabitant, who perhaps has overstayed his welcome. After all, when Tay Tawan Vihokratana's last queer project, 3 Will Be Free (2019), aired, we had absolutely no idea that a pandemic was about to happen. He will probably do well next year, once Cherryphobic Thailand premieres.

- Off Jumpol Adult Kitty P0rn Adulkittiporn is yet another member of the original 3 pillars who has crashed out of the top 10, after being inducted last year. Still, with Cooking Crush and The Trainee on the horizon, there's hope for Off to rebound in next year's chart.

- I voted for Nanon, Tay and Off last year and decided to not vote for any of them this year, and look what happened.
