We stan a self-aware king.

Just Tew calling his boy - little and big.

This one is for you @yousaygoodbyeandisay

[nemesis-21]

I'm going to be thinking forever about how Tew immediately fell in love with Guy when they first met in-person which explains why Tew was so quiet and awkward (despite being a badass gangster) because he literally has no idea how to handle courtship and dating but he respects and cares so deeply for Guy and it's just so adorable.

[negrowhat]

Ok Wahl... you got too much dip on your chip. Why would you punch a fucking gangster like that????? Tew has literally murdered before. You might want to calm tf down. Tew is not the one you wanna play with. The GLARE Tew just gave Wahl????? Bro better happy he didn't get murked.

not the "I'm breaking up with you to protect you" trope I hate it here

5 BL moments from 2023 that reminded you of kdrama?

I feel like you’re trying to bait me into posting about MDGO with this one lol (I finished it tonight and I did not like it, fam!) I can’t decide if including kbls here is cheating, but I’m thinking specifically of moments that reminded me of mainstream kdrama, so I’ll include them.

My Dear Gangster Oppa

Now obviously this Thai show was very intentionally calling to kdrama and is based on a Korean webtoon. But I gotta say in that first ep where Guy and Tew met they were basically doing a kdrama date greatest hits tour and they hit some of the tropes in their (few and far between) cutesy couple moments throughout. The only thing missing was a stop at a theme park to put on some animal ears.

Cherry Magic Thailand

This one is an adaptation of a Japanese work, but there are definitely some kdrama vibes vibrating around Karan. He feels like a classic way too kind and gentle to be real kdrama romcom lead. Big Extraordinary Attorney Woo Jun Ho vibes.

Jun & Jun

They ripped his characterization and backstory straight outta What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim? Both amusing and inadvisable because the show is not flattered by the comparison.

Cutie Pie 2 You

Another one that directly references Korean pop culture—in this case, idol music—and invited us to lean into the kdrama vibes with Kuea launching a career there while his improbably gorgeous oppa looks on. This also has the rare distinction of being a Thai show featuring music that is actually good, another thing it has in common with kdrama.

Unintentional Love Story

This one has all the standard beats of a kdrama comfort staple—city person travels out to a remote place and falls in love with a local. Lots of other kdrama tropes abound and you will not be surprised by a single thing that happens (that’s not an insult!).

Honorable mention: His Man 2, a reality tv show that somehow managed to deliver one of the best kdrama romance narratives of the year. I am being so serious rn go watch it.

this ep of mdgo has has me smiling so much🥹

Tew being a big lovey dovey softy has my heart in a chockhold

[hotasfahrenheit]

the shift between Guy being afraid OF Tew, and Guy being afraid FOR Tew is so subtley and beautifully done here, mad props to Ping especially for this scene.

he touches Tew so gently and he's so worried for him and about him, instantly.

taking his shirt off was a wild way to go about being honest with Guy but Tew clearly made the right choice because it both calmed Guy down and brought him around to being willing and able to listen to Tew tell his story much faster than any other kind of reassurances probably could have.

[25shadesoffebruary]

I’m at 00:31:17 into MDGO episode 6 and before I go any further into this episode. I just wanna know is Kenji in love with Tew. Because it’s giving “I’m been in love with this man for ever and he’s not showing me any attention and the only time I get his attention is when I’m being a bitch”

It’s giving “I started a first fight because the other guy was hot and I wanted him on top of me” vibes.

[heretherebedork]

Tew is down so bad for Guy it isn't even funny. This man is lost to him.

But Guy is so oblivious.

And Tew realizing Guy's crush, labeling it, explaining to him that Wahl really isn't a good friend... I love him so much. And Guy finding the courage to talk about his crush with Tew

Plus Tew holding back from the hug because he's in love with Guy and knows that Guy is in love with Wahl and he doesn't know how to comfort people either.

The way this man pops up when he gets the confirmation that Guy is home and safe? Ugh, he's so sickeningly in love it's painful.

At least he knows it.

[pickletrip]

1. Feed your sick boyfriend who has just been beaten up.

2. Is he looking at you .... looking at you..... Uhmmm

3. Dirty mind.

4. He hits you with a "This stuff has been on my mind all the time". How long have you been fantasizing Tew?

Oh wait, you knew you were down bad for him the first day you met him. So, yea. Makes sense.

5. Keep feeding him so that he doesn't get a break to think about kissing you.

[hotasfahrenheit]

this lil sunshine angel baby, look at his face the way he smiles at Tew as;ldfkja;sflkdja;fdkjl

i want to gif up this whole scene (tho someone else has probably already done it with better quality video than i have access to) but i need to not be up all night making gifs so maybe later but i had to do these at least because LOOK AT HIMMMMMM

[hotasfahrenheit]

Guy's response to Tew saying he knows he looks scary being "no, you're hot" is so precious and Tew's driver Tul is just shipping them so hard from the front seat of the car and i love everything about this whole scenario

[heretherebedork]

Tul and Boss are my new favorite thing in the world, I love them, I am an idiot and I am okay with this but I love them.
