Currently Watching - May

Because I love a good little list - in alphabetical order! 😊

Regularly updated during the month, latest update 30.05.2023

Here you can find my weekly roundup that goes into a bit more detail about each episode.

And a little link to my favorite bl-tropes-collection 💙

This may contain spoilers!

1. Be My Favorite (1/10 on Youtube)

Well...It had some funny parts, but right now I can't imagine how Kawi and Pisaeng get together...I mean Kawi is so head over heels for the girl...But as I said, there are some really funny moments and I had a good laugh.

2. Bokura no Shokutaku aka Our Dining Table (8/10 on Gaga)

Hozumi Yutaka likes to cook and is good at it, but he can't eat infront of other people. Meeting Tane and his older brother Ueda Minoru his life seems to change and he may finally have found what his body and soul were longing for. A true comfort watch right now.

3. La Pluie (5/12 on iQiyi)

Saengtai goes deaf whenever it rains. The only voice he can hear in his head is his soulmate's one. But he refuses to answer it, because Tai doesn't believe in things like love or soulmates. That is until he meets his soulmate for the first time. It is surprisingly good and I am looking forward to this one.

4. My Story (7/10 on Youtube)

Every now and than I like to watch a pinoy-bl. The first episode was a mess and a bit boring, but I have a strong second-lead-syndrome! I love the secondary couple and they just slept together in one bed, but that was so cute! Looking forward to the next episodes!

5. Our Skyy 2 (12/16 on Youtube)

Can I be honest? This isn't my cup of tea...I still watch it, because I hope the next episodes are better, especially the ones I am hoping for (MSP + ATOTS). But most of the dialogues are cringy and cheesy and the stories are...weird or boring. MSP was really good though.

6. Sparks Camp (1/? on Youtube)

Philippines's first gay dating reality show! And it's giving you everything you're looking for! Well at least a bunch of cute and cringy moments! And I am sold!

7. Step by Step (6/10 on Gaga)

Employee meets boss without knowing who he has met and crushes hard on him, just tells him what everyone thinks about the new boss and is just adorably clumsy infront of him. I adore the friend group! I hope we get to see them support Pat a lot. The second episode...difficult for me.

8. The Day I Loved You (9/10 on Youtube)

Go watch this! It is such a good show! So great. I love it so much. I was hit by tthis series with a sledgehammer. Not just how good the production is or the acting, but the theme and plot. Damn! So good. And I can relate to this a little bit too much, but I still love it. Just watch it!

9. The Luminous Solution (1/6 on Gaga)

Every wish comes with a price...We meet Thana and Patis, a couple of over a decade. While Thana tries to holds closeness to his partner, Patis is working non stop at the hospital and doesn't see, that his partner is suffering. And now Thana lost his job and his mother is in depth. One evening he enters a very special café, which only shows itsself to people who are in deep need for a wish. But can you pay the price? As a second couple we meet Mai and Ryou, who become enemies on the first day of school and who will have some obstacles to overcome to be together. And there is Ryous best friend, I guess he has a huge crush on Ryou. How they will end up in the café? I don't know, but I am intrigued.

10. Zenra Meshi aka Naked Dining - Love, Life and Liberation (7/12 on Gaga)

Everybody has their own way to release stress. Ichijo Futa eats naked. When he goes to his dead grandmother's house, he meets Miki Mahiro, who finds out about his eating preference. I guess it is a series about understanding what is really important in life.

Finished in May

Series

Tin Tem Jai (on Gaga)

They say if you don't have anything nice to say, just keep your mouth shut…That's my motto about the series. I really didn't like it that much. 2 out of 10 for me

2. Happy Merry Ending (8/8 on Gaga)

As often with korean bls, this one was soooo short! Just 15 minutes per episode. But it was a good. We meet SeungJun and JaeHyun and when they meet there is not a question left that those two like each other. A wedding singer and a pianist. A wedding singer with social anxienty and trauma. I really enjoyed this drama. A good 9 out of 10 for me.

3. A Boss and A Babe (12/12 on Youtube)

I wasn't a big fan of ForceBook after watching Enchanté, but I think it works in this drama. Cher is getting an internship at a gaming company. In his free time he runs an ASMR channel and the boss is a big fan of his voice (a thing I can't understand) and they start talking in the evenings so Gun, the boss, can finally manage to fall asleep. And then they can start to fall for each other. Most of the times I liked this drama, but it has some flaws. So a solid 7,5 out of 10 for me.

4. My Esports Genius Brother (12/12 on Gaga)

Jiang YiFeng can't feel physical touch, emotions or anything else, he can't taste and he doesn't see colors, which makes him super focused and an exellent gamer. That is until he meets Lu Lin, an idol with too much of everything, especially the potential of becoming violent. YiFeng helps him to calm down and thanks to Lu Lin YiFeng can see colors, taste food and experience the whole palette of emotions. A romance blossoms between these two against all odds and even though it is a chinese censored drama with some almost kisses (the scenes were horrible cut) and a sweet confession scene, we can feel the attraction between these two. I really liked. Just wished it would be a little bit longer! 5 minutes per episode was just a little bit short. But nevertheless sweet. 7,5 out of 10 for me.

5. The Promise (10/10 on WeTV + Youtube)

Okay, I loved it in the beginning. I thought it was a really good drama. But after a while it got repetetive and boring. I wished Nan just got together with Party, because Phu just could get his head out of his own ass. I was really angry at him at times. And there was so much unnecessary drama, especially in the last two episodes. It was just too much. Just a 6,5 out of 10 for me in the end.

6. Watashi to Otto to Otto no Kareshi aka Me, My Husband And My Husband's Boyfriend (4/10 on gaga)

Misaki is married to Yuuki. She nows something is off, because he doesn't really have interest in getting sexual with her. On the day before their wedding anniversary she sees him kissing a man infront of their home. It is her former student Shyuuhei, who also has a crush on her. Now they have to find a way to deal with everything. And their solution...I don't really get in the end. It is kind of an open ending, which is totally fine, but the resolution with Misaki being okay with the situation was kind of rushed? Just a 6,5 out of 10 for me.

7. Love Mate (6/8 on Gaga and Viki)

I am in love with the grumpy-I-don't-believe-in-love-guy and the sunshine-I-fell-in-love-with-you-at-first-sight-guy. The butterflies went wild in my stomach and my heart got all fluffy. Over all a 10 out of 10 for me!

Short Film

At The Moment (on Gaga)

In a not so far away future people can freely choose, which gender they identify as. They have the chance to change their gender once in their lifetime, so they must make the right decision. Of course, there are programs and surveys which will support you on your journey to the right decision. But what is the right decision? What if you were born male and you identify as a male, but you like feminine things and fall in love with another young man, but everyone around you tells you to change into a woman, because it is the most logical next step? We accompany Yi An, on the edge of seventeen and in love with his classmate Zhou Yang Kai, on his way to find out what exactly he is. His best friend, identifying as male and in love with Yi An, wants to help him getting comfortable with the idea of being a girl. But Yi An questions everything around the idea of gender swap and his own sexuality and in the end it is about self-love and to accept the fact who you are and who you love. It is an interesting short movie about the question what attraction, sex and gender is and if it does have to do with gender preferences or sex. A 9 out of 10 for me.

2. Gaze in Silence (on Gaga)

This should be named Obsession. Everyone in this was obsessed. The first one with sex, another one with the thought of becoming the first person's boyfriend and the last one was just obsessed with the first one. A story about a very active young man who likes to have sex with different partners and who is not looking for a relationship. One of his sex-partners wants to become his boyfriend and the situation escalated. But lucky number one has a stalker who films him during his sex-sessions and who now rescues him from the hands of the evil wanna-b-boyfriend. And they have sex while the wanna-b is lying next to them...tied up. A very strange ending, but not bad. A very quiet short film with a lot to say in the end. I liked the way it was shot and that there were no real conversations. 7,5 out of 10 for me.

3. May you stay, forever young (on Gaga)

If you expect there to be much romance or love here, you are mistaken. This was a very depressing and hard to watch film. You could literally feel the emptiness in our main character. It oozed outward from his core. Only the family couldn't see it. First and foremost, the mother. Francis grows up sheltered and is supposed to concentrate on his lessons and especially his piano playing. At least that's what his parents want him to do. He, on the other hand, wants to spend time with his friend Tommy and even secretly starts working a part-time job in the restaurant where Tommy works. The relationship of the two is never clearly defined. What is certain is that Francis likes Tommy. Whether those feelings are reciprocated, I don't really know. And in the end, Francis breaks down and the parents stand helplessly around him, not knowing how to deal with him. And then the movie ends and you're about as helpless as the parents, because we don't know what's going to happen next in Francis' life. But that's what I really want to know! Over all a solid 8 out of 10 for me.

4. So refreshed (on Gaga)

Kim and Choi are two gay friends. Kim likes Choi, but Kim is not Choi's type. So Kim suffers in silence until one night Choi decides to book a middle-aged masseur with a light belly for company. While Kim is out to get the money, Choi has fun with the, in the end, really homophobic masseur. Kim and Choi fight and when Kim is home alone again, he watches the video of Choi and the masseur, he secretly took with his watch, and jerks of...so refreshed! It was really disturbing and disgusting to watch. A 5 out of 10 for me.

5. Old Narcissus (on Gaga)

A story about aging and the struggle with it. A story about beauty and its transience. A story about acceptance and the fact you should really not trust strangers, you don't know shit about! That was one stupid choice you made writer! The moth never would! Still a 7 out of 10 for me.

[bl-inded]

Okayy, time to finally talk about it. Kawi is an interesting character to watch. I kinda hate him, (he's getting out of that zone slowly. tis still true) but he's interesting. In the start of the show he has something of a 'Cinderella complex' minus the naive optimism. He thinks he's the victim of every situation and he did nothing to deserve it. He also weirdly feels entitled to good things as a result of it failing to realise his own hand in said situation.

Many other people have done a wayyy better job of explaining his selfishness and double standards. So, I won't go too deep into that. Now with the show in its last stretch though, there's been a surprising change. He's still selfish. Not as much as before but he's still the center of his own universe. And, the sole ownership of these time-travelling powers have given Kawi this twisted sense of solipsism (the belief that you're the only real person in the world, but in this context what I mean is he thinks he's the only person with agency in this world).

Obviously, he doesn't actually believe that others don't have a mind or choice in this world, but whenever he's in the 'past' he very clearly cares little about what happened in the previous versions of the past. He is in it with the sole intention of "fixing the future" so to speak. So the characters, their feelings, their opinions- don't matter to Kawi till he goes to the future and sees how it morphed long-term.

We've seen this in the show over and over. Even when he tells Pisaeng about the time travelling, he says "I'll fix things," by dating him. Like Pisaeng doesn't have a say in the matter? The lack of self awareness is even more astonishing because he didn't learn through his relationship with Pear in the future, that his relationship with Pisaeng might just end the same way. Like, buddy. Come on...

I doubt the show will end with Pisaeng and Kawi not being together, but I would maybe like a reboot where he realises he needs to stop being so self-centred. I already think it's unfair that Kawi gets so many chances after stringing Pisaeng along for god knows how many years. Even if forgotten, both he and the audience deserve an apology from Kawi for that.

I have a whole tangent about time-travel stories without rules and the brain glitch it causes my brain to try to figure out the continuity, but putting my logical disbelief aside, a time-travel story serves a certain purpose for character arcs. So, i wholeheartedly believe we needed to hate Kawi at the start for the story to make sense.

But right now, he still has too much power. He's starting to realise he can't change everything, no matter how hard he tries, but he's still attributing that to the universe. He's not giving enough weight to the people around him.

He's also impatient, immediately wanting to know if he "fixed the future" after one decision change, when in reality this future 10 years in the making needs to be lived in for him to realise why it turned out a certain way.

He still doesn't seem to understand why Pisaeng left after the beach that day (not really anyway) or why he's so desperate to keep him. Not to mention he doesn't acknowledge the emotional rollercoaster that he's been putting everyone around him through. (Max needs a pay raise with the amount of therapy he's been giving everyone 😞).

I'm curious to see how the show handles it (if it does so at all). But in conclusion, I will not fully be team Kawi till he stops thinking he's the only person in the world.

[my-misericordia]

As much as I'm enjoying this show there is one thing that definitely keeps bothering me and that is the depiction of low income people as represented by Kawi. 

From the start we are told that his finances are bad. He has a job and goes to school at the same time. As someone who did that in high school and university I can tell you that doing that is not only hard but also reallyyy isolates you from your classmates. You lose a lot of opportunities to socialize with people your own age, you get jealous that you can't do the things they can, They can't understand Why you can't attend activities even though they say they do, you stop talking to your peers Because of that rift, and your peers also stop trying to involve you because your answer is usually no. 

It's a no brainer but being Poor is Hard!!! That's why I really empathized with Kawi in the beginning. While everyone saw a brat, I saw a kid being isolated due to his circumstances. If he already had a base anxiety of "fitting in" then that surely got worse because he was unable to tackle it due to having to work in order to stay afloat.

But as the show keeps moving forward...he hasn't gone to Work!!! lol Yes he says it but we've Never seen it!! How is the audience supposed to sympathize with him when this whole time he's just complaining in their eyes? Why can't we have scenes with him going "and i couldn't do X today because I had work" while lying in bed with his uniform on? A few scenes of him meeting up with people a bit late because of work and still wearing his work uniform?? A few days ago I thought it would have been really effective to start the the first episode with him working, in a restaurant lets say, the camera panning to the clock at like 11pm and then panning out and it being 11 am where he's falling asleep and then he starts his little narration. And you know what we could also never return to that location just have him with his uniform like I mentioned!!

I say this because so far Nothing he mentioned has been shown to be standing in his way! He seems to be able to anything...and it really just makes it seem like it was ALL in his head! He really ends up looking like he's just been a whiney person this whole time...and ughh! If that's the case the story didn't have to create him as a lower class person because this is such a terrible representation! This type of depiction just makes it seem like poor people just complain because they have a "negative" perspective, that they just need to look on the bright side and things will just magically improve and I just hate that!!

It's really disappointing because it actually had some great commentary on how economic differences do affect how you go about the world. Like the conversation that Kawi and Pisaeng had in the 2nd episode. Yes we all have 24 hours in the day but when you're poor you do have less. Also the fact that Kawi's father didn't want to keep going to the hospital because it was too expensive. Had Kawi been paying his medical expenses? Did he start working because he knew he wouldn't be able to attend university otherwise? 

Idk it's just...moments like these where it's kind of obvious who's creating these shows lol Income inequality is pretty big in Thailand and with series like this it Shows. But like I mentioned before, it did have a few good points that shed light on how it is to be low income so hopefully that's absorbed by some people? Truthfully I don't think so though because like I said most people just see Kawi as a "spoiled brat" (ironic lol) just having a bad character that needs to changed through "positivity".

**A small extra thing that I think could have been done to depict Kawis' economic standing is his presentation? He kind of looks too good?? lol Like all his clothes look brand new and I know they're kind of trying to make him look 'poor' by not styling his hair and whatever but come onn you can do better than that...I guess what I'm saying is it wouldn't hurt to take a lesson from Japan? They do a pretty good job at dressing people down.

[invisiblegarters]

Be My Favorite Ep 5

Ugh, why is Kawi still hanging out with these losers? Please stop trying so hard to fit in, dude, it hurts me.

Oh, Pisaeng. He really did do some soul searching, didn't he? Good for him. I totally thought he was gonna confess to Kawi though. I mean, I think they both know who he was talking about, but I wonder if Piseang knows Kawi knows?

Ha, okay. Yes, I would totally try to win the lottery too if I had time travel capabilities.

I will say that I do worry that Pear is gonna suddenly become a faen fatale because of being rejected by Pisaeng. I don't know anything about this director/screenwriter so I don't know if I should expect it. Can she please just stay her awesome self?

Pfft. I wonder how the subtitlers of this show feel about subtitling someone acting like their job makes them lower than other people. Subtitling is hard work.

Max is such a good friend. I'm very happy that Kawi got past his hang ups with him, because he's just the best and I am always happy to see him.

Not so much Not. He continues to be the worst. And the worst part for me is that I totally get Kawi's need to be his friend. I get his desperation to want to belong, and how winning over people like Not seem like the way to do that. But people like that are not the ones you want to be friends with. Those types of people always need a low man on the totem pole to peck at, to make themselves feel better, and Not has clearly made Kawi his "low man".

I feel like Pear and Kawi could be really great friends, honestly. It interests me that Kawi seems to be instinctively drawn to decent people - Max, Pear, even Pisaeng even though he's fighting the last bit because he knows about Pisaeng's crush on him - and yet he till keeps trying with people like Not out of some misplaced belief that that's the kind of friendship he needs.

Okay, if Max and Pisaeng become friends I will scream in the good way.

1984! Now I want to rewatch The Eclipse (ah hell who am I kidding. I always want to rewatch that show).

MAX. He is s great. The greatest. Maybe Pisaeng should date him (I know he won't but please let them be friends, please. He's so lovely and comfortable with himself and Pisaeng could really really use someone like him in his life).

Oh, does Pear's friend like Not? Girl, you can do better. Although I suppose we might be getting a redemption arc for him at some point. And ha, okay, was that a subtle rebuke from her about encouraging people? Because if so, you go girl. And she's right. It's just as easy to be encouraging and decent to people as it is to be mean, but so often people choose the latter. The funny thing is that I actually think that in the long run, choosing to be nice helps you more, because it feels good to make other people feel good. Doesn't it? It doesn't harm anyone to be pleasant and to encourage others.

Oh, that smile when Kawi got the text from Pisaeng. I have a small hunch that part of Kawi's issues both with Max and with Pisaeng is that he recognizes them in himself and doesn't want to, but I am not entirely sure he knows it. Max wasn't wrong to call him out on his BS about it, either. Even without the romance stuff I want to see Kawi grow as a person.

Aw, okay. That was a very good rejection speech. Honest but not mean, and no shying away or running and making Pisaeng feel like dirt for his feelings. I really really like that Kawi took Max's words to heart, and the he seems to have really internalized them. I know we're only on episode five, but my goodness I like this turn from trying to fix what he thought were all the problems in his life to genuinely working on himself. Because here's the thing. It's not that Kawi's life took a wrong turn somewhere that made everything go bad, not really. There's no one specific thing that he can point to and be like "yes, that there is where it all went wrong" even though he thinks that there is. For Kawi it's definitely more an attitude problem. He was so in the habit of looking at the world a certain way, and now he's learning that if he tilts his head in a different direction, everything looks different.

I think I'm going to like Kawi and Pisaeng's Friend Era.

Well this song certainly isn't going to help Pisaeng move past that crush of his. That poor boy is so doomed.

Speaking of Pisaeng, I really appreciated his whole arc this episode. He was brave in so many ways. I love that he's clearly going on his own journey apart from the thing with Kawi, and again, I need him and Max to be friends. After the end of the last ep though my guess is Max is gonna figure out who has the crush on Kawi way sooner than later.

I haven't read the novel this is based on so I don't know if it's different there, but I do like that this crush has led Pisaeng down his own journey of self-discovery. We don't want miserable, drunk Pisaeng marrying a woman he doesn't love in the future, okay? We want happy, comfortable Pisaeng who may or may not be with Kawi but is still in a good place. I'm also happy it seems to be very deliberately stepping away from the whole "I don't like guys, I just like you" thing, because I hate it (granted I haven't seen it happen recently, but still. I've seen it enough that I'm always wary of it).

[pandasmagorica]

If you can have your dream Be My Favorite ending what would it be

Oooh, that's a fun question. @marbles290, thank you for asking.

Kawi wakes up and discovers he was right the first time, that it was all a dream.

Kidding. Let's try again.

Pisaeng goes back to the past twice, comes out at 15, meets Kawi in high school on the second trip back, stays back in the past while they gradually become boyfriends, Pisaeng respects Kawi's ace-ness (still seeing Kawi as ace not demi, although demi would be fine as well). They live together for many years. Maybe they have sex, maybe they don't, maybe they have an "arrangement" for whatever, but whatever it is, they are both comfortable with it and are close to one another and love each other very much and enjoy spending time with Pisaeng's mom, who loves them both very much.

Kawi stops performing but loves to do karaoke with Pisaeng, Kwan, and Pear. He continues to be sober.

Okay, I fully admit there's a continuity error here. If the final timeline is the one where Pisaeng has gone back into the past a second time and remains in the past and only returns to the present by living it a day at a time, then Kawi will never have traveled into the past or future and hopefully won't have become an alcoholic and need to get sober in the first place. But that means Pisaeng would never have come across the globe and wouldn't have time traveled, unless of course he let the mysterious man fix his car. Avoiding paradoxes is a bear in time travel writing.

(Actually, that's not necessarily true. Kawi has the globe in college and the mysterious man shows up for Pisaeng during college, so Pisaeng could get ahold of the working time travel globe without a paradox.)

Kawi still becomes a subtitler, and this time gains great satisfaction from doing it and doing a good job at it. (I'm serious about this. I get a lot of joy from watching Asian QL. It gives me a window into both Asian culture and Asian popular culture. It's fun to watch, especially the new queer wave of QL. And it would be impossible for me to do so without the work of thoughtful subtitlers. There is no reason for anyone, including subtitlers themselves, to look down on subtitling as a job or career.)

Kwan and Pear make good choices for their long-term relationships. Realistically, it's probably with someones they (and we) haven't met yet and would only meet in a where are they scene set years from now at the same time period that we first see Kawi in the working world and hating his job.

Max is in a happy poly relationship. He eventually apologizes to Kawi for being lukewarm about supporting Kawi's ace-ness.

Not is basically ostracized by all and we don't hear from him again.

I think that's all the characters we've been following.

What's your dream Be My Favorite ending?

Be My Favorite - Ep 2 Thoughts

Okay. I took a slight break to read three chapters of my book and watch ten minutes of the other show I’m watching today and now it’s back to BMF. This time with snacks:

-Why wasn’t I watching this sped up earlier? Because I’m not that bright honestly. I don’t have the sense that that the good lord gave a lemon. 

-I will say I do enjoy the opening song. It’s very Thai BL but also pop. This reminds me of watching shows in 2020 during lockdown. Fascinating.

-Watched the opening at normal speed but now we’re back to sped up.

-Pisaeng is so much smarter than Kawi. 

-Kawi has already decided that the world won’t understand him so he never even tried to let anyone in. God bless Pisaeng for speaking my mind for me. 

-Watching Kawi attempt to talk to Pear is painful. Physically painful. 

-A teacher actually telling students to stop talking? I’m a Thai BL? Unheard of. That’s never happened before. 

-I’ve had Max for three seconds and I love him so much already. 

-Kawi is a little man baby. 

-Why is Kawi’s idea of fixing the past trying to change Pear’s future when she is happy but not helping the people that actually need it? Max isn’t happy in the future? Fix it! Stop your obsession with Pear and help the only person you have ever said was your friend. Help your dad make good medical decisions. Good. God. 

-I know that there might be other reasons for he doesn’t have one but why doesn’t Kawi just get a job. Just get a part time job. Oh does he actually have a job? I don’t believe it. 

-Is it bad that I’m shipping Pear and Pisaeng right now instead of Kawi and Pisaeng? 

-Oh look. A kiss. 

-This claw machine scene with Pisaeng at the end was extremely cute.
