#hit bite love

[respectthepetty]

Me praying for my sanity in February knowing I'm FINALLY getting Moonlight Chicken, two endings of 609 Bedtime Story, the final acts of My School President, Never Let Me Go, and HIStory 5: Love in the Future, the high heat of Bed Friend, the chaos of Chains of Heart, my idol and his stalker in My Beautiful Man 2, and the unhinged murder plot of Hit Bite Love.

Blessed.

This Week in BL

Feb 2023 Wk 1

Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs. Organized by which ones (in each category) I’m enjoying most. 

Ongoing Series - Thai

My School President (Fri YT) ep 9 of 12 - WinSound totally won me over in this ep. They were great. Their competitive style of romance, made me really happy. Double tsundere it’s so rare to get and not be annoying or depressing. Of course the mains were adorable too. 

Never Let Me Go (Tues YT) ep 8 of 12 - Solid little episode. Perth in the pool, thank U BL gods. Peeling the shrimp to rope, always a favorite of mine. Some awesome couple flirting and a nice romantic sex scene. What’s not to like about this episode?

Hit Bite Love (Sat YouTube) ep 2 of 6 - King is fucking adorable. Burger is clueless and (apparently) entirely straight. Shogun is one of the gayest characters ever put in high school BL. Heda is kinda awesome, basically a chaos wingman. Matteo is interesting. I genuinely like the central friendship between King & Shogun a lot. Queer baby besties! It’s Ming & Wayo-esk but better. Holy KINK FEST outta nowhere, BLman! I’m getting total whiplash with this show. Very Make It Right. What does it want to be? Who tf knows but I’m into it, that’s for sure. It’s accomplishing something, which most pulps don’t.

609 Bedtime Story (Fri WeTV) ep 11fin - my backup computer is down so I haven’t had a chance to watch this yet. Hopefully but next week’s report.   

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

HIStory 5: Love in the Future (Taiwan Weds Viki) ep 6 of 10 (or 11&12 of 20) - Jonny’s hair is driving me nuts. Hai Yi’s behavior is confusing me too. Office boys remain totally adorable. Very doomy mid run ep 6. Ah Taiwan, how unpredictable you are. 

Candy Color Paradox AKA Ameiro Paradox (Japan Fri Gaga) ep 7 of 8 - these weirdos make for very strange boyfriends. Frankly? K seems like a useless bit of business, if you ask me. 

Individual Circumstances (Korea Thurs Viki) ep 5-6 of 8 - I’m just annoyed with Mr. Tsundere at this point, he’s gone from grumpy to mean. I just want him to have a really good reason for having disappeared without saying anything, and good does not mean “sensitive pathetic authorial feels.” You don’t abandon your best friend just because you fell in love with them, that’s an unforgivably shitty thing to do. 

The End Of The World, With You AKA Bokura no Micro na Shuumatsu (Japan Sun Gaga ep 1 of 8 - Stars Toshiki Seto (Senpai, This Can't Be Love). The world is about to be destroyed by a meteor, so Masumi visits his old uni library to read as much as he wants until the end. There he meets Ritsu, his player ex. It’s a bit awkward, and I’m not sure about the premise (it scares me that it might be sad). It’s racier, gayer, and has better kissing than i was expecting (again a sign it might go dark). Also Is Ritsu a big time bi-slut player or is that Masumi’s perspective? Regardless I’m intrigued if wary. 

Finished this week

The New Employee (Korea Weds Viki) ep 7fin - They are so cute it’s unbelievable. I thought it was a good office romance ending, if not a great Bl ending. All in all this is a darn near perfect nugget of an office romance BL, sweet and much gayer than we have any right to expect from Korea. Rainbow rice cakes forever! 9/10

Between Us (Sun iQIYI) ep 12fin - It’s a serviceable series about hot swimmers flirting and dealing with family drama in a sweetly earnest manner, but ultimately it squanders the talent in play. I would’ve preferred a cleaner narrative arc, less angst and more plot, fewer couples, and a shorter series. That said, there’s nothing objectively wrong, sub-standard, or off-putting about this show. And it has lots of consent and other good qualities. It’s fine. Watch along here. 8/10

I Will Knock You (Fri Gaga) ep 12fin - I did think a lot over why I disliked this one. Because on the surface it’s just your standard slightly terrible Thai pulp, and I’m usually not that mean about them. I think in the end it comes down to the uke who just seemed to never warm to the boy pursuing him, and never really actually wanted to be his boyfriend. Also terrible dead fish kiss. 5/10 

Gossip

Apparently we have new scions (waves goodbye to BrightWin) - GeminiFourth: The Crown Princes of BL. If you’re wondering how their chemistry is so good (My School President), this article may explain it. 

In Case You Missed It

Caught up on 2020′s The Reason Why He Fell In Love With Me. (Gaga picked it up and I’ve been wanting to see it since it got announced in 2019.) 

TRWHFILWM Series 1 - 2 teachers who work together at the same high school, one outgoing and the other reserved, start an affair. Gave me Ossan’s Love vibes and that is my least favorite kind of JBL. It’s just far too cartoonish and slapstick and I don’t like it. That said, it has several kisses, a happy ending, and they are cute together. So if you can this style BL, it you might like it. 

TRWHFILWM Special - Completely ignores the first couple and the teacher premise, carrying over just one main character, and should have been a new BL (Boys Love flashbacks). I understand 2021′s season 2 continues this tactic. But I’ll watch it eventually. 

Next Week Looks Like This:

Not a lot actually, which is cool, I still got some 2022 catching up still to do. Why You Y Me, may be? 

Starting: 

Moonlight Chicken (Weds? YouTube) 1 of 8 -   

My Beautiful Man S2 - ??? sorry I’m scared of this one and not really paying attention, it being Japan and a desirable property, I’m assuming it will either be impossible to find or just show up on my dash in 2 places at once. 

Feb releases list is here.

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

Hit Bite Love it’s classic terrible Thai pulp and I’m kinda loving it. 

Thank you very much GMMTV. 

FINALLY! 

Also FINALLY. 

More FINALLY (My School President). 

I love the acknowledged combative nature of this relationship. It’s great. 

(last week)

Current Kpop earworm? Under the Skin by &team, eh, it’s catchy I guess

Thai Drama - 2023, 6 episodes

~ Episode List ~

[ellsieee]

This kid literally gave his crush a reading assignment to convince him to reciprocate his feelings. Precious.

King is what, at most 17 years old? Does he really have that much material to write about? 😂

Burger's expression lol. That's how'd I feel if anyone gave me a huge stack of material to read.

That King used a slightly cringe generic template is understandable for a high schooler but is also sending me.

Burger is so confused, but I think King's strange method of flirting worked!

Hit Bite Love Ep4

These are kids in high school, I'm not expecting accurate BDSM. But I need to talk about what is wrong with it.

The Dom only chooses their safe words, not yours. Both of you should have a safe word because both of you can be triggered. You should always pick your own because when things get tense, you won't remember what someone else picked for you.

You should never be gagged until you have experience in being able to use your safe word or tapping out. Nobody wants to make you use your safe word, that's a shitty Dom if they try that. However, a Dom should ask you "What's your safe word, do you remember?" In the thick of things to insure you know how this goes. After you've proven capable of that in a few plays, then you can move to gagging.

When gagged, you can't use a safe word, so you need to be able to tap out. Just like the safe word, I need you to prove to me that you know how to tap out. Typical, one tap for good to go, two taps to request things go slower, three taps to tap out.

There should be no throat restriction if gagging. It's one or the other, not both. That's just asking for a hospital trip.

Okay, just needed to get that out. Thank you!

Me seeing all of y'all be happy that My School President nailed the landing, while my can't-compartmentalize-to-save-my-life ass is pre-crying about Gaipa's mom dying (Moonlight Chicken), the possibility that Chopper could die (Never Let Me Go), Hai Yi and Johnny probably being separated (HIStory 5), Joe and Army not ending up together if Alex doesn't figure this shit out (The Warp Effect), Hira and Kiyoi not getting back together until the movie (My Beautiful Man 2), and Shogun picking Ken over Mateo (Hit Bite Love).

I'm really happy for y'all, fam. Congrats. Yay!

Thai QL 2023 Favorites Tag Game!

@waitmyturtles tagged me, I kinda did it quick but Wait made it QL instead of BL so I guess I’ll play again

Because I get overwhelmed easily I need to confine myself to only things in 2023. 

HERE WE GO - Thailand ONLY, 2023 ONLY 

Favorite 2023 Thai QL: 

My School President - I LOVE THEM YOUR HONOR

Favorite Pairing: 

On the basis of Moonlight Chicken as well as MSP I have to pick GeminiFourth but for high heat I really loved NetJames in Bed Friend 

Most underrated actor: 

Lee Long Shi

I’d say Noh Phouluang but so far he hasn’t been in anything this year. Damn it. 

Favorite Character: 

Ken in Chains of Heart

I KNOW. I HATED the show, but man what a fucking fantastic idea for a main character. Tough as nails, rebuilt himself from the foundation up, total bass ass, persistent fucker. Plus Haii is stunning to look at. It’s not his fault they fucking squandered the gift he gave them. 

Favorite Side Character: 

Easy one: Chot - Step By Step

Favorite scene in a QL: 

Between Us:

Favorite line in a QL: 

Hit Bite Love

Most Anticipated QL (& why): 

Twins the series - Not Me + HIStory 2 Crossing the line, it looks like golden trash.

Healthiest relationship in a QL: 

Destiny Seeker babies side couple:

Most toxic relationship in a QL: 

The Promise - I don’t wanna talk about it

Guilty pleasure series: 

This year? Certainly Destiny Seeker

Most underrated series:

Frankly, probably Destiny Seeker, since no one has seen it and I actually quite enjoyed it. 

Maybe Make a Wish? Another solid show that no one saw. 

Of those that people saw, I think the Never Let Me Go Our Skyy installment was GREAT and pretty underrated. 

It’s only July so of course this is subject to change without notice. 

If you follow me... and I find something I love... you’ll notice.
