A tiger and a dragon, who were enemies since the beginning. Never thought that we would meet this way. Which way? You, the one who makes my heart pound every time I'm around you. I'm sorry Yai. I'm sorry about my way of getting to you. And it hurt you. But, I promise you that from now on, I'll never make you shed a tear. Please be my boyfriend.

I decided to make this post for fun.😜If you haven’t followed me all year then you may be surprised by my opinions here. This took me a long time to think about. Thank goodness for mdl. Also thanks bestie @gunsatthaphan for making the gifs for me so it’s not boring 🥺
Without further ado,
I couldn’t not give the number one spot to this show. It may have lagged in the middle, but by the end it was a 12/10 for me. JimmySea deliveredddddddddd. I loved it so much I bought their plushies.
This was the surprise of the year for me. I did not like Tae in Paint With Love so I was hesitant. I saw gifs all over my dashboard mostly courtesy of @laowen. I decided to give it a try, and it quickly rose up in the ranks for me. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoyed the feel of Manner of Death since it is by the same author. TaeTee had some amazing chemistry!!
Did this show have the best plot? No, it did not. What it lacked in it made up for in the three couples. All three couples were loveable and the cinematography was really nice. I have watched this show probably at least 4 times now. ZeeNunew are kings. They carried that show. I am so excited for Cutiepie 2 You. Also how can anyone hate Nat Natsit? He is so cute I just want to put him in my pocket.
I don’t know what it was about this show. I loved the main character so much. I was so excited each week to watch it. I would scour the internet looking for the episodes. Akira was so lovable and adorable.
I am most definitely in the minority here. This show had me dying of laughter the entire time. All the couples were adorable. BillySeng killed it with their chemistry. If you want to laugh then you need to watch this show. I watched episodes multiple times because it was so entertaining. The subtitles even explained all the inside jokes for me and that was just such a nice touch. 🥺
I was one of the few that preferred this show over Star In My Mind. Were Joongdunk adorable? Yes of course, but the story lost me and I was very irritated by the end. I identified with Fah’s character so much. I really liked FahPrince. They were so cute 😍
This show was so so so good! The chemistry was unmatched for a Korean bl. I was so impressed. The story was a great enemies to lovers trope. It was excellent! Jaeyoung was my crush of the year 🙈
I enjoyed the original. It was interesting, but this version was so real. They tackled the relationships and explained everything so well. I really felt what the characters were feeling. YinWar have an insane chemistry. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. VeeMark messy endgame 😝
I feel like this should have been higher purely based on how adorable all three couples were, but the plot was a little frustrating at times. It made it in to the top 10 though, They were all disgustingly sweet. ParkLee, 💣and 🐻, MekKim 💙
I was sooooooo against this show. I blocked the tag because I was so irritated by seeing it on my dashboard. Someone told me to just give it a chance and I ended up enjoying it. Was I as crazy about it as everyone else? The answer would be no. The action scenes and entire production as a whole were fantastic. I felt it deserved the last spot. I did not like VegasPete and never will. I am honestly here for Jeff Satur’s Kim being the badass protecting Porchay.

Summary
Shin Jae Woo is a man who is haunted by his painful memories. He dreams of being able to somehow turn back the hands of time and change his destiny – and the destiny of Kang Ji Hoon. Back in 2007, these two young men’s paths crossed and Shin Jae Woo fell for Kang Ji Hoon – a man who he admired more than anyone else. But cruel twists of fate meant that they could not be together – and Shin Jae Won has blamed himself for what happened ever since.
Now, 15 years later, Shin Jae Woo goes back to the college dormitory where Kang Ji Hoon used to live. While he is there, he finds an intercom receiver and picks it up – and is stunned to hear Kang Ji Hoon’s voice! He realizes that he has traveled back a decade and a half in time to 2007. Kang Ji Hoon is a student again, preparing to take the bar examination. Shin Jae Woo moves into the room next door and starts to rekindle their friendship – although Kang Ji Hoon has no idea why this stranger keeps trying to get close to him...and why he keeps calling him “uncle.”
There was so much BL in 2022 that with a few popular tropes I just stopped updating the old trope posts and started to collect for a new on. The shoulder lean is probably top of that list. By far BLs most popular trope I think darn never every BL uses this one.
My Only 12% (combined with boys contemplating water trope)
21 Days Theory (classic car execution)
Blueming (in a bus, old school) and
in a bed, much less old school.
That’s My Candy

BL Awards - Hiding into my pillow, kicking feet in air
Love in the Air:
Rain knew exactly what he was doing here. You won't convince me otherwise.
This was just absolutely, ridiculously, insanely, cute and cringe. You will pry this moment out of my cold dead hands.
Cringe-fail. He's lucky he's pretty.
This was a really embarrassing show to watch. It was insane. I got a new high every week. I would think something so shameless won't be made much less aired and I'd be so fucking wrong.
Between US:
Pharm: I want to possess him
idk something about watching UWMA side by side is his running away and shying away seems so much different in this context. He is teeny-tiny and literally everyone on the face of the earth loves him and I can't blame them.
GAP: Mon's fantasies
Girl, get help. She imagined kissing Sam three times before even meeting the woman. Gotta respect dedication.
This Move:
I C O N I C
She had every man and woman (not child coz children shouldn't be watching this) in her grip in that moment. The way she turned from taciturn to woma-woma-womanizer INSANE.
and the king of them all:
Kinnporsche:
Ep 8, VegasPete ending, Kimchay Kiss, The bodyguard commentary and Korn being tired of the bullshit
The horniness hasn't been matched. The softness hasn't been matched. They are so fucking happy. And I am happy that they are happy.
It's just so soft. It's so small. And Chay is so happy. Kim is feeling things he never thought he could and massively regretting it. And Chay's confession was so honest and brave and fumbling and teenager-y. You expect me to move on?!
I'm happy that they are happy. Funny how the most fucked up dynamic ended up the happiest. Really goes to show how you should embrace your demons and fuck the villain.
Korn just has to be so tired at this point. The woman-in-attic and political scheming must have felt so nice to have.
