This Week in BL - I'm finding rankings difficult, there's a lot of middle of the pack action and some serious top contenders

Organized, in each category, by ones I'm enjoying most at the top.

Dec 2023 Wk 1

Ongoing Series - Thai

Last Twilight (Fri YT) ep 5 of 12 -  I love how they’re slowly revealing bits of their past to each other. It parallels the slow burn of them falling in love with each other. Knowledge + understanding = affection. I cried during the part with his doubles partner, of course I did. As has been mentioned many times in this blog, I am a sap. Also I’m realizing that there is something particularly clever about this show: Because Day is blind, there must be a ton of physical touch. And physical touch is something that Thai BL does really well. 

(I gotta say, while I ADORE JimmySea in these roles, a small part of me wonders how JoongDunk would have handled these parts.)

The Sign (Sat YT) ep 3 of 10 - Phaya is SO DAMN SMITTEN. It’s great. Have I mentioned recently how glad I am Billy got this role? This was the: “it’s not a date” date ep. 

I gotta say these 2 BLs are neck and neck favorites right now.

Cherry Magic (Sat YouTube) ep 1 of 12 - Uh oh. I like it a lot. I think I was always going to because I have a soft spot for TayNew on screen. It is such funny to watch Tay play such a stiff character. I like it. This is very fast paced for a Thai BL I wonder where they’ll take it with this speed, are they’ll following the manga more closely? 

My Dear Gangster Oppa (Thurs iQIYI) ep 7 of 8 - Wait, no. Wahl you’re such a problem. The pacing of this is very KBL. I’m not mad about it but it feels odd in Thai. Still enjoying this one the most as my "early in the week" offering.

For Him (Thurs iQIYI) ep 2 of 10 - The booty call flirting is next level with these two. Like Bed Friends but with less pain. I love that Nail is such needy evil wild child - the story gets all its tension from that.

Baby boy gives off so many danger signals I wouldn't tap that with a 10 ft… pole. Him is a braver queer than I. I do like how the high heat is being used to drive the story. It stands in stark contrast to Playboyy. Which is using high heat to drive, well... piles apparently.

Twins the series (Fri GaGa) ep 6 of 10 - I'm enjoying it again, the main couple is getting more BLish. 

Bake Me Please (Mon Gaga) ep 3 of 6 - Shin and Peach flirting is very cute. Although they got into that sack swiftly. Guy leaving was contrived and reactions overwrought but okay babies. 

Absolute Zero (Weds iQIYI) ep 11 of 12 - Now I'm mostly just confused.

Which timeline are we in?

Do they know each other in this one's past or not?

Have they met yet?

Who has which memories of what?

I feel like I’ve been through a lot for the show.

I’m not saying the reunion scene in the theater was worth it, but it was a really spectacular reunion scene. I’m terrified that there’s one more episode. I wish it had ended here.

Cooking Crush (Sun YT) 2 of 12 - I’m just not that into it. 

Pit Babe (Fri iQIYI) ep 4 of 14 - A new ship has been set afloat, we are now Team #WayKim / #KimWay and if you're not with us, you're against us. Trash watch happening here.

Middleman’s Love (Fri YT & iQIYI ep 5 of 8 - oh look, it’s everybody’s favorite big brother!

That was a kind (and kind of lovely) coming out sequence. KingUea being the worst best Gay Advice Dads is awesome. Mai is SO SWEET. And we end on some good old miscommunication / misinterpretation, so that Jade can behave in an even more unhinged manner next ep. Our brief respite from absurdity has ended. 

My Universe (Sun iQIYI) Fake Love ep 16 of 24 - They cute fake bf but it’s oddly unappealing. I mean most us queers have slept with each others exes, that’s swimming in a small pool, for ya. In my experience, only hets get butt hurt about it. (Hets never use enoug lube, they butt hurt about everything.) So the whole drama just felt confusing to me. Or maybe that's just my experience with swimming in lube? 4/10 whatever... not recommended

Playboyy (Thurs Gaga) 4 of 14 eps - I’m seriously considering dropping this. 

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

VIP Only (Taiwan Fri Gaga) ep 4 of 10 - They cute. Are aquariums now gay? That’s not the definition of fish that I grew up with. 

Sahara-sensei to Toki-kun (Japan Fri Gaga) ep 2 of 8 - I'm suffering from terrible second lead syndrome. Glasses guy is new Best Boy. Also, Rise is trying to earn the Namgoong Award for Best Wingman. 

It Finished But...

SHADOW (Thai Gaga) 14 eps - completed it's run. Reports are:

It's pretty good horror but not BL. Ending is unresolved.

Given that info and this review here, it's not for me. DNF

It's Airing But...

Behind the Shadows (Korea movie) - a historical I'm interested in (if it's BL) but have no idea how to find.

The Whisperer (Sun ????) 10 eps - Thai horror BL that ALSO involves cheating (what joy is mine). I don't think even the perfect single dimple can motivate me to watch. Word is... it's terrible.

7 Days Before Valentine (Weds WeTV) 10 eps - Giving me Luminous Solution vibes. I'm waiting to binge if it's safe.

Beyond The Star (Weds iQIYI) 8 eps - House of Stars meets Boyband. I was NOT impressed with ep 1. Been told I shouldn't bother.

What Did You Eat Yesterday Season 2 AKA Kinou Nani Tabeta? Season 2 (Japan Gaga) 10 eps - I find this series more fun to binge, so I'm waiting until after it completes its run next week.

Next Week Looks Like This

12/14 Dear Kitakyushu (Thai/Japan movie) in theaters in country only, I know nothing about distribution.

Still coming:

12/23 Dead Friend Forever (Thai horror) iQIYI

Original 2023 forthcoming BL master post (see comments, some are inaccurate, NOT KEPT UPDATED). With the end of the year upon us I'll do an "announced for 2023 but never happened list" soon.

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

Of course I loved all the little language moments. I am here for the kinkification of phi.

That request for a shirt was v sexy phi+na. Thank you Jimmy.

Last Twilight bringing the pronoun and particle game to play hard.

It was a nice kiss. (Absolute Zero)

This as a perfunctory flirting kiss, I anticipate we still have The Kiss to come.

I love that Phaya's personality seems to be spin doctor, just accuse the boy of doing that you are already doing to him (or want him to do to you).

Boyfriend shirts!

And a meta reference.

The Sign is basically made for me.

(Last week)

Cherry Magic TH Ep 12 (Finale) Stray Thoughts

Last week, Achi went to a different city to help set up a new office. There, he had to work on his social skills to bond with the new staff, and succeeded through the power of his good nature and soccer. Karan and Achi stayed in touch the entire time they were separated, and Karan visited twice. Achi hesitated about coming out, but was rewarded when the new team was completely supportive and only asked about his partner so they knew who to contact. Meanwhile, Jinta talked Min into not giving up on an audition, and Min said he loved Jinta. We left on Achi losing his powers in a very satisfying bed scene and afterglow.

Achi really lucked out with Karan.

I'm so proud of Achi for managing to complete this project and earn the confidence of this team.

Ah yes, a finale. It's time to meet the parents.

Boss, don't remind me of the no dating rule.

Pai is such a supportive friend.

NOT THE BALLOONS SOUNDING LIKE GUNSHOTS

Damn, Mom, why you gotta dunk on your own son??

It's fine, she's definitely cool with it. She already put them to work and doled out advice.

I love Karan so much. This man recorded Achi expressing love in the Northern dialect, and Achi agreed so he wouldn't have to say it often.

It couldn't all be cherries on tablecloths. Looks like Karan is maintaining continuity with his Japanese counterpart's family.

Achi's mom hugging Karan is something that can be so personal.

I will never get over Jinta wearing sunglasses over his glasses.

Yes, let's model good fan behavior with the artist. They only jumped because they thought Jinta was trying to kidnap Min and then calmed down. They're even fans of Jinta's book!

Absolutely love that Karan is not withholding his feelings from Achi about how his mom might be homophobic.

AN 8 HOUR DRIVE? Are we going to Dallas???

Give that man his reward, Achi!

Welp, I knew it was too simple with Karan's mom. She very smoothly shoved them into a closet.

I'm glad it's the sister having this conversation with the mom.

She said her piece and counted to three!!!

Karan being a little brother makes so much sense every time.

Look at Tay Tawan acting. I know the mom and dad turning around so quickly is a bit unrealistic, but I like the aspirational nature of it. It could be this easy if we tried hard enough for each other.

Of course he proposed. I love this man.

You know he's had that ring ready for a while!

COME THROUGH, ACHI!! MUTUAL GAY PROPOSAL!!!

Wow, that was everything I hoped for and more out of the family stuff.

Whoa, did Jinta reveal he popped that cherry?

Oh, it's also the symbol for Min's group.

Aww, Rock has a fan!!

Pai is definitely shipping Rock and the fan.

Save the date!!

Well well well, Cherry Magic Thailand. Good job being explicit about marriage equality.

Okay, I like the reference to the pens.

I'm okay with Rock and Pai getting to date.

These two are very good at the aesthetics of an onscreen kiss.

Final Verdict: 9.5, This is Now My Default Version. I did not expect to come out on the other end of this liking the Thai version more than the Japanese live action, but here we are. Minus episode 8 (which I will pretend doesn't exist), this was perfect execution of the core premise and strong regard for the character dynamics. This show earned every moment, and managed to deliver a satisfying finale for the whole cast. It's been a long week of finales, and I like how good so many were. TayNew getting back together was not something I expected, and I'm so thrilled that they delivered such a strong outing. What a time to be a Cherry Magic fan. I'm excited to keep reporting on the anime and then talk about all three shows.

[bringbackavac]

that was my first reblog in what felt like YEARS OH MY GOD OPENING TUMBLR FEELS LIKE AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE LIKE,,, IM SIXTEEN???

[myineffableshipsblog]

Can someone please tell the name of this one actor?? He’s adorable and in a bunch of things, and he’s Thai. He played Pete’s dad in Dark blue kiss & Kiss me again. He usually plays someone’s dad or a teacher or something like that. Point is, I love him and I can’t seem to find out what his name is. Pls help me! I will be eternally grateful if you do!

That’s him being cute and hilarious:

[juneviews]

Can I add that I think the fans are drawn to certain people’s vibes. Like taynew liked to bicker a lot it was their whole brand, so it kind of goes hand in hand with fans bickering, but that just built up into whatever the heck happened the last few years.

Offgun have always been chill. They always repeat the stories of how they only fought twice. I think they also have found the perfect mix of interacting with fans/fan content and leaving it be for the fans. Like they manage their fandom well. (This is kind of weird to say I guess but I think that fact that a lot of people have picked up calling them big dad and little dad (on Twitter) is because they just take really good care of their fans and that’s why it’s not so toxic.)

But that all applies more to the pre-2gether age imo, idk anything about ships past that point.

YES, that anecdote that off always says about how they only fought twice is so cute!!! I definitely agree, both off & gun are people who just... click together, and I think they've also created super healthy boundaries concerning work & their irl friendship. as you said they're really chill, they never fight, and I think they manage to not go into that "crazy fanservice every day to please the fans" stage, while also letting their real friendship show through, like the times they held hands to cross the streets when cameras weren't even supposed to be rolling. they have found the perfect in-between in my opinion where their fans are just really satisfied at any interaction they have without it having to be romantic-coded at all. I don't think many ships' fans & managers would be okay with one half of the ship being so cuddly with other dudes like gun is with taynew, yet no one bats an eye for offgun bc we're respectful of their personalities & don't feel threatened. and that really comes from knowing that they're close friends in real life who genuinely care for each other in my opinion :)

[crying-over-gay-dramas]

I gotta do it. I can’t resist.

So. Dark Blue Kiss. So important on sooo many levels. GMMTV is known for creating such amazing series portraying beautiful and romantic gay relationships but this series went above and beyond. Not only did it do that, but it had so many important messages attached. Each character had such important character development, that helped to create insightful and essential messages.

Like, look at Kao. We saw him go through so much in this series. He started out so afraid to come out, and let anyone know that he and Pete were together. But, in the end he was able to do it with the help and support of those around him. It’s not easy to come out, and that’s not always shown in series, or at least not to this extent.

Speaking of his coming out, his mom’s reaction was SO important. As Pete pointed out earlier in the series, it could be seen that she seemed to see the relationship between Pete and Kao and knew the truth about Kao. However, she never said anything. She let Kao tell her in his own time, because she knew he was struggling with it. She didn’t force him, or assume. And when he finally did tell her she was completely supportive.

On the topic of parents, Non’s dad (and Non himself) are also very important characters that expressed important messages. In Kao and Pete’s parents, we saw supportive, loving, and understanding parents. But, in Non’s, we saw an example of a parent who wasn’t involved in their child’s life, who didn’t try to understand him. The things Non did in the series were bad, but as Kao’s mom said, it wasn’t entirely his fault. Non didn’t have support from his dad. His emotions for Kao, were confusing and frustrating. He had found what seemed to be his first crush, and not only did that crush not feel the same, but Non had no one to support him through it. Non had no one he could tell about it. What Non truly needed was someone to understand him. His entire character showed how important it is to have someone in your life who will work to understand you, and support you.

Also I can’t even begin to express how important Mork’s character is. Sun was such an ass to him after he got beat up, and Mork didn’t forgive him easily. Even though he loved Sun, he stood up for himself and wouldn’t give in easily. He made Sun work to gain his forgiveness. He never acted ashamed of anything he did, and always respected himself. Not to mention, all the stereotypes he breaks. He’s this tough guy, who rides a motorcycle and everyone kinda sees him as a thug at first glance because he’s always getting into fights. Sun especially judged him harshly from the beginning. However, Mork is actually this great guy who stands up for people, takes care of his best friend, falls in love with his friends’s bossy barista older brother, and is a nerd who plays Pokemon Go

I also have to mention Sandee, Thada, and June. Like Kao’s mom, they all pretty much knew that Pete and Kao were together, but they didn’t pressure them until they felt they needed to for the sake of their relationship. They quietly supported them, until they had their big fight. At that time, they gently stepped in and did their best to help and continue to support them. They didn’t take sides, they just stood by them both and helped them through it.

Rain is 100% someone who should be brought up. Not only was he always supportive of his brother being gay, he also was completely supportive of his best friend, Mork, when he learned Mork was too. Through Mork and Sun’s turbulent relationship, he stood by them both and told them when he though one was in the wrong. 

Last but not least, I want to talk about Kitty and Manow. Both girls liked one of the boys (SunMork) and instead of being angry when they didn’t like them back, they were supportive (especially Kitty when Sun told her he was gay) They moved on, and became good friends with them instead. Like, it made me so happy.

So to summarize, through it’s characters (and amazing plot) Dark Blue Kiss really had such amazing messages. It didn’t just have incredibly cute and romantic romances, it also told of the struggles of coming out, showed different types of relationships (friends, family, etc.) and how important support and understanding it is. GMMTV has done it again. This is why I will always love and support their series. These kinds of stories, these kinds of messages. (Also have to say that the actors esp TayNew and PoddFluke) did an amazing job portraying the characters and bringing such beautiful stories to life.

If literally anyone actually read this entire thing, you are now my best friend.

[bucksbisexual]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA OKAY LAST ONE OF MY OPINION POSTS HERE GOES EP12:

[breathes in]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

i’m so fucking happy with this ending

it’s such a good happy ending this is truly what the gays deserve i’m just happiness in physical form rn

i don’t even know where to start but i’ll try to make this as chronological as my brain allows me because my memory do be sucking

i’m gonna put a keep reading because this shit will get loooooong kjshfkf okay let’s do this

so.. we start with PETE EXPOSING NON(T)’S BRAT ASS!!!!!!!!!! FUCK YES THATS MY BABY THATS MY BOY!!!!!!!!!!

kao’s mom being a fucking badass and telling her BOSS how to do shit. i love her yall I LOVE HERRRRRRRR

also kao’s mom telling kao that she wasn’t the most amazing person ever was so cute because you can see kao’s light bulb turning on sjfkhsgsh please i love them

yes i will say i love x after every single one of these u can’t stop me

from the teaser i thought kao would dashi run run run to pete’s house but thankfully he took a taxi lmao

at least he didn’t run there because he had to run from pete’s house (or may i say, mansion) to the POOL my man is a whole athlete oh my god

KAO YELLING HE LOVES PETE!!!!!!!!!!! IN THE MIDDLE OF A CLOSED SPACE WITH PEOPLE IN IT!!!!!!!!!!!! AND HE DOESN’T GIVE A FUCK IF THEY HEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THATS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT BABYYYYYYYY

also a beautiful parallel to the scene from ep1 (i noticed there’s a lot of parallels in this episode we stan character development and repeating things just so the viewers can see how consistent the couples are)

the kiss from that scene............... beautiful amazing gorgeous idk many words in english to describe how i felt while watching and how i feel about it

to that i think we cut to sunmork but i don’t remember what happened because of the kiss KJHFKSL SORRY

anygays i rlly like how this whole episode is sun being a clingy bih and mork gay panicking while trying to act like a confident gay when he knows that sun outconfidentgays him i love them lmao

okay after that i think it’s petekao having food with their parents all together and god i looooooove this scene

pete’s dad being the lgbt ally dad all of us lgbt fellas with homo/transphobic dads wish we had will never fail to make me soft i love that man pls be my dad too

also kao’s mom :-(( i love her she respected her son’s decision on not coming out until he was ready even though she already smelled it (reminds me of my mom lmao) and was always there for him even when kao didn’t say anything :-(((((((((((

petekao bickering will never get old i swear i love every time they do because that’s so..... men it makes their characters more real

i know there’s a lot (not that much because i admit this episode was kinda short?? idk maybe it’s just me) between that scene and this one but THE SQUAD EATING ALL TOGETHER AGAIN!!!!!!!! AND THEM TEASING PETEKAO!!!!!! PLEASE I LOVE THEM

pete literally not knowing how to stop the audio and broadcasting live TO THE WHOLE COUNTRY that time when he told kao he loved him through the teddy bear...... peak pete culture

the fact that ppl love them and they have a whole hashtag on twitter makes me soft because usually when someone is famous in bls the fans hate the other part of the couple but in this one??? oh no honey we stan petekao in this household hate is not allowed it’s actually prohibited illegal

okay let me backtrack a bit skjfhsjf

OH YES I FORGOT!!!! manow wanting to talk with mork was so weird when i saw the teaser for the episode but after seeing them talk i was like oooooh okay i understand

sun saying “what’s your girl saying to my boy” is probably one of my favourite lines of this drama KLHSJFLF

rain reading their lips fskjfjsf and when mork said “fuck you rain” HIS FACE SKJFHKSJSLFJ HE WAS SCARED SHITLESS but also the end of this scene was so cute i love these three

i just did a bit of skipping through the episode to try and actual make an order out of this mess and the petekao+parents thing comes now,,,,,, anygaYS

then it’s more teasing between sunmork blah blah

then MORK SPEAKING THE MF TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!! quoting the actual dialogue “it’s my choice to tell or not tell anyone. i should get to decide”

OUTING SOMEONE ISN’T COOL!!!!!!! IT’S NOT OKAY!!!!!!!!!!! NO LGBT PERSON WILL EVER WANT TO BE OUTED!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON’T DO THAT SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rain had good intentions but it doesn’t mean that it was right of him to do so

okay this got serious,, sun going to rain’s bed with not one but Two pillows when barely two people fit in that bed.... oh to be that iconic and carelessly gay

back to petekao because we will never get enough of these two (which is why i’ll probably watch the our skyy episode tomorrow just to cry over these fools)

it’s so weird to see tay being like this after watching him being himself in other things like the live lunch and taynew meal date and other things i’ve randomly watched during this week to retain myself from finishing this series in a night ksfjhsfkshlks

also kao helping pete shave and pete being like do u like my moustache or should i shave it for u my lord SFHKFJ the domesticity and just the feeling of two idiots being in love i love them with my whole heart

kao staying at pete’s house because it’s both of their first days as interns and kao!!!!! he works for pete’s dad!!!!!!! pete’s dad accepted him into his company!!!!!! i love them

also the bickering between those three sjfkhs “hello im pete im from thailand” “that’s all you’ll say today” THAT WAS SO FUNNNY SKJFHSKFHSFJSFL

THE MESSAGE IN THE TEDDY BEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KAO CALLING PETE LOVE PLEASE IM GONNA CRYYYYYYYYYYYY I LOVE THESE FOOLS

okay so the squad eating together is right after this but i already talked about it ksjfhsfh next!!

idk if it’s a big time skip or a small one but guess what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MANOW AND RAIN ARE DATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY STRAIGHT BABIES YES I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU AAAAAAAAAAAAA

manow is so pretty and rain is so cute they’re both so lucky my bisexual ass is crying

pete being “angry” at kao being so handsome,,, a mood

but also.. pete being possessive was h*t

there i said it and i don’t regret it

random but i will miss kao’s annoying ass saying “about aboyz” sjfkhsfh

pete being like “i will have to give u more love bites (ffs gmmtv just say hickies we are all at an age where we know what love bites are) so no one flirts with u” and kao being like “bitch try me” sjfhksfj i’m loving bratty kao

also that scene turned into furry kao real quick KJHDKJFSHJF

okay now it’s: mork’s birthday party time!!

rain and manow arrive first and are the cutest couple around because the two main gays haven’t arrived yet (being gay AND punctual? not possible)

sun and rain fighting in the kitchen was peak siblings culture skfhksjf

mork being ready to leave his own birthday party with a stranger who also plays pokemon go just to have a battle................ dumbass bisexual energy

said stranger is eARN FROM 2GETHER!!!!!! FILM IS IN THIS TOO!!!!!!!! first the girl who plays yuri in yyy and now film who plays earn in 2gether is here too??? damn wlw keep winning (also headcanon: theyre dating/seeing each other because LESBIANS periodt)

okay petekao arrive and wont u guess whats their present for mork,,,,,, the mf TEDDY BEAR and kao rlly says that they should use it since theyre so lip sealed lmao

rain and manow literally gave mork a present not for him but for sun im- i love these two

MORK FINALLY SAID YES TO BEING BOYFRIENDS OH MY GOD DUDE U ACTUALLY HAD ME WORRIED THERE FOR A SEC

also sun being a whole koala and being a horny bitch is so funny sfhskfjskl my man has his priorities set

their last scene is so cute :-(( poor rain will have to live with this until he moves out sjfhksjf

oh boi the ending is near hhhhhhh

kao teaching his class an equation that ends up in i < 3 u is the most kao thing i’ve ever seen

also kAO IS BOOKED AND BUSY BABYYYYYYYYYY GET THOSE COINS HONEY

pete being like “u haven’t spent enough time with me lately >:-(” was cute jhkfjs my man is needy of kao and i understand that because have u seen kao? exactly

kao teasing him with not having forgotten the cup this time and pete being his possessive self was.. splendid

every reference to something that happened with non(t) hurts but also i love how they just tease each other because they know that now their relationship is stronger than it’s ever been and that nothing and no one will come between them

the scenes they show during the last last scenes :-((( BOYFIES!!!!!!

and i love how they decided to end the show with them holding hands in public

i would explain why i do but it’s 6:26 am and i’ve been writing this for at least half an hour already and my laptop is heating up a lot and im sweating because it’s hot in here so get down on the floor pipiipipipipipipi

kdjhkdfhs sorry im not sleepy this is just my brain without a filter it’s just gay shit and a big repertoire of songs

god okay that was my opinion on the last episode of dark blue kiss...........

needless to say that i will eat every bit of content related to petekao after this because writing this i already miss them and i can’t wait to watch our skyy tomorrow idk where but i will

i really really REALLY liked this drama and it’s one of the two bl dramas (not counting the untamed) i’ve given a full 10/10 rating on mdl because it’s THAT good

everything about this drama is just.. chef’s kiss i love it i will probably rewatch it when my plan to watch is empty but it’s a pretty long list so.. hopefully i’ll ignore that and just rewatch sjkfhslf

i’ll of course watch kiss and kiss me again just for the petekao, the squad and rain scrumbs because i’m sure that the petekao compilations don’t show everything

but yeah im just.. i love this show it’s been a rlly long time since i started writing this but i’m still happy because it’s so good and truly gave us a good happy ending and i swear i cannot emphasise enough how important good happy endings in lgbt media are!!!!!!!!!!

anygays im hungry and ready to submerge myself in the dbk tags, see u all tomorrow for my our skyy petekao episode version of this,,,,,

till then, stay safe ! bYE

[gunsatthaphan]

The most Dad(TM) things Sun has said in DBK Ep2:

“what are you doing here? don’t you have class tomorrow?”

“let's go home. I’ll drive you”

“wear your seatbelt!”

“will you be able to attend class tomorrow?”

“you should be more responsible!”

“I only mean well!”

“turn it off, it’s too loud!”

“I don’t want to have a son like you!”

“next time you go out for drinks, don’t drive!”

“stop seeing him, he’s a bad influence!”

“Go wait in the car!”

[fabfuckingfour]

Dark Blue Kiss ep 11

Spoiler alert if you haven't watched.

Keep scrolling

Okay... Let's start off with deep breath *exhale the BS that is Non and his dad*

Honestly I cannot believe this... Even though Non is such a shit disturber... I can't believe he isn't going to take any ownership in the mess he makes for Kao.

Side note... For those who might not know.. Newwiee is my top BL person so I'm extremely bias to him. Ik this.

Continuing on... Non ruined his life with unhealthy crush. One that he cannot admit to even, bc he scared of his dad. I am so pissed with him.

Honestly watching Kao cry, while coming out to his mom and.. Gawd just rip my heart out already.

I went through so much emotions in this episode. Random emotion... Anyone else felt that Sandy's hair was flawless as she was talking to Kao on the phone? I have a thing for hair... Anyways

Pete wanted sooo bad to stay with Kao... Just as he was about to open up to how he has been doing. The looks he kept giving as if he want's Kao to know, he would stay if he could, but he has to go now. He also looked like he wanted to tell him to wait for him.. Feels.. Emotions... I was all over.

I'm gonna stop bc... Feels man.

I'm just glad Kao is standing up for himself, his mom is right behind him. And Pete is defending him to the whole world.

My feels cannot be expressed with words for TayNew.. Shit sry PeteKao to reunite in ep 12..bc we clearly are well on our way to reconciliation.

Wait I'm not done. Gawd i got carried away with PeteKao... SunMork. I kind of wanted Sun to work for Mork more, but whatever. As long as they happy.

[whyamistillwatchingtheseshows]

Do you know about the taynew mealdate show?

Of course, I know about that show. Watched most of the eps, all of them? Idk. Sadly, I had watched the ep that I think aired before DBK and geez the real chemistry is having a tough time transferring to PeteKao because there was more believing in TayNew as they sat eating than there was when Pete took Kao to the rooftop restaurant.

TayNew > PeteKao at this point mainly because I can’t figure out where Kao’s shove off stems from. What’s the writer’s train of thought to think that every time Kao has to be so resistant to Pete’s attempts for affection even if it goes further in Pete’s mind? There’s a way that Kao can nag his finger at Pete saying, “Time and place!” It’s just if they’ve already been doing it, there should be a sense of ease coming from Kao and I’m not getting that. Ugh. Except for the anniversary surprise. I was hoping that would actually help Kao ease up too and find other ways to keep showing Pete he’s in this relationship through they’re still hiding it from his mother.

Sorry. I blurred lines. Rant over. Okay...not yet. Either way there’s one ultimate TayNew Meal Date ep (which I cannot remember it’s number) but I think it’s early in the season...they’re drinking something, sitting at a small(ish) table and New just casually starts rubbing a hand up and down Tay’s knee/thigh. No thoughts. No qualms. He just does it. Where the fuck is that shit for PeteKao? We got a reassuring hand hold earlier on at that luncheon with Pete’s Dad and friends but nonetheless everything else but the anniversary surprise has fizzled out like how one snuffs a match. Ooh. That was harsh because I adore Tay (🤗🤪🥰) and New, but right now I am starting to not dig them as Pete and Kao.

You know who hasn’t fizzled out for me? My baby “bad boy” biker and his deadly but sweet cinnamon roll barista.

For the ship ask petekao and morksun?

thank you!!! (disclaimer: i haven’t read the novels and have only watched 5 episodes of dbk so far - i have watched kiss, kma and our skyy though)

petekao

who’s the cuddler: Kao? Overall Pete is more the physical type but when it comes to physical affection Kao likes to cuddle whereas Pete prefers the more rated activities. He does like to hold Kao though.

who makes the bed: I think they both do. But Kao does it because he likes thinks neat, Pete does it because after hitting puberty he didn’t necessarily like the housekeeper to touch his bed so he does it out of habit but doesn’t mind it if it’s not done. 

who wakes up first: Kao. Early riser, you get more shit done the earlier you start, even though I don’t think he particularly enjoys it. 

who has the weird taste in music: hmmm…I believe Kao’s taste in music is rather sophisticated but not pretentious enough to be considered weird. Pete is one of those people who somehow don’t care much about music, so nothing stands out as well.

who is more protective: I believe they are both protective. Pete more loudly and publicly, Kao in trying to keep Pete out of harms way in a more subtle way. He is a worry-head though.

who sings in the shower: Kao. And it is very cute. Pete does it occasionally and Kao would never mention it but it is quite funny.

who cries during movies: Kao. like full-on snot nose crying. Pete will roll his eyes and click his tongue but hand Kai tissues and lets him use his shoulder.

who spends the most while out shopping: Pete. Rich boy still hasn’t a good sense on what is expensive and what is not and being thrifty is too much of a hassle if you can afford the expensive one anyways. He will hackle with street vendors though, because that’s the way to do it. 

who kisses more roughly: Pete.

who is more dominate: Pete (this is canon).

my rating of the ship from 1-10: tbh, I like the idea and their characters. I adore Pete’s dad and obviously love TayNew. They also have great chemistry and more often than not have ad-lipped to the betterment of teh scene. however their relationship in KMA was wayyy to rough for me and how Kao feels like he has to hide stuff so Pete doesn’t get angry and Pete also having jealous anger issues is a bit tough at times. soooo 6.5 out of 10 with lots of potential though.

morksun (this is more me guessing than having an actual clue)

who’s the cuddler: hmmmmm…..pretty evened out I’d assume. maybe Sun likes to hold Mork close and Mork more revels in the feeling of knowing that Sun is lying next to him (no necessarily hugging him)

who makes the bed: Sun (he seems like the orderly, pedantic type)

who wakes up first: Sun seems to adhere to a schedule but since the cafe doesn’t open that early it might actually be Mork, who has a super chaotic sleeping schedule so it does happen that he’s awake earlier than Sun. But you might just as well find him in bed after 12 if he doesn’t have anything to do.

who has the weird taste in music: Sun would have a surprising old-fashioned and sometimes kitschy taste in music. You’d think it is Mork, because he listens to some obscure indie bands but in the end those make solid pop-ish rock music and Sun’s playlist sometimes get really weirdly old-timey.

who is more protective: hmmm— they’re both protective in their own ways? Mork is more abrasive and confrontational whereas Sun will watch potential threats from a distance and will try to eliminate them without Mork noticing.

who sings in the shower: neither? I’m not quite sure. Mork might just be super loud in the shower in general (yelling at the water temperature, getting soap in his eyes, trying a cool move and almost slipping etc)

who cries during movies: hmmm….Mork? He seem a little bit less in control of his emotions. They also get sad about different things so they can always console the other, even when Sun isn’t outright crying.

who spends the most while out shopping: Sun? Mork might buy the occasional random item that wasn’t on the shopping list but Sun will be over prepared and stock up on everything so he’ll use way more money.

who kisses more roughly: hmmmm…not necessarily roughly but I’d imagine Sun to give deeper kisses, and Mork’s to be more energetic and quick.

who is more dominate: again I’d think they are pretty even and like to challenge each other as well

my rating of the ship from 1-10: while I haven’t watched their full story, I do like the set-up and their general characters so I’d say an 8 ^^ (since I haven’t actually watched all of DBK)

thanks for asking

send me a ship game

i think the thing with dbk is that petekao basically became taynew so that's their selling point. i mean kao is suddenly bad at taking pictures? that was his thing last season and now they switched roles because photography is tay's thing. i mean i don't mind because the show is done well and even adress important issues. i also like how they dealt with the whole ex-girlfriend part with sunmork but yeah the director gave too much power to the actors.

i agree with the petekao / taynew thing , but i don't necessarily mind it .

though , at the end of day whenever i talk about dbk i mostly mean the morksun part . petekao is messy and i don't like the storyline they have that much . they have lots of cute detached scenes and some important scenes with each other , as well as other characters ( like pete's dad ) , but most of my compliments go to the other part of the show .

as for giving too much power to the actors , i personally think that's not a bad thing . but everyone has their own preference , of course .

Dark Blue Kiss Takeaways

I am no expert when it comes to giving reactions, whether it's about a book, a movie, or a series that I watched. But the thing is, we have thoughts with what we hear, saw or experienced and sometimes it's a lot that we can't put words into it because the feels we had are so much we just can't say it. That's how I felt watching the Darl Blue Kiss. I have so many takeaways that I don't know how to put words in it and just poured out the feels the show had given me by saying it's a masterpiece. For me at least, it is.

I first encounter Pete and Kao in KMA and Kiss The Series. I am snatched with their Tom and Jerry like relationship. No, that's not my trope but somehow Pete and Kao just impossibly make sense. You don't get it? I don't too it's just how they make sense. Well we can say that love moves in mysterious ways (as per MYMP's song says) and that is how I see Pete and Kao.

The following are just MY INSIGHTS with DBK, now, if ever someone came across with this, which I highly doubt, you can just scroll down and not give a damn.

Also a disclaimer, I love the words 'I love', 'I like' and other more so you'll read them often.

CHARACTERS

I love how the series put together the development of each character. Especially Pete and Kao's, well it's their story after all. Growth in Pete and Kao's character are one of my favorites. Pete became mature enough to handle his feelings and make decisions not only basing it with what he wants. It's frustrating to hide a relationship for years but he did it anyway. Kao, although it's scary and difficult wanting to provide everything the people he loves needs and wants, he does it. But being too kind and generous can create problems, and when you're in one it's hard to decide because you don't want to hurt anyone. Close or not. But because of situations like that we learn. How to say no and how to weigh things.

SunMork started on the wrong foot. Maybe it was because of their age but maybe not too. We have experienced life differently that's why being open-minded and understanding should be practice because we don't know each other's story. That's one of the things I like about Sun and Mork. Whilst very different from each other they found something in each other worth risking it all.

When you fall in love it's not a choice, but staying in love is a decision you make. Staying in the relationship, fighting for it is a choice.

Non. He's just a kid, yes he is but he will not be always. Now, he made my head aches every episode he showed up but in the end, he is just a child who wants people to accept him for who he is not what they expect him to be. I know that there are Non in this world and I hope they find what they are looking for.

Cool Gang. KMA and DBK will not be KMA and DBK without these people. Thada, Sandee, and June although side characters make the show more whole. It's good to have friends who would support you and tell you off. That is good friendship and I love them for that. I just wish June would find the one that is for him.

Rain. Is a representation of a good friend and sibling. It's easy to be a friend or a sibling but to be a good one is kinda is. You have to know when to tell them off.

Family Relationship

The series shows different types of parent-child relationship and I love it. Families are different so as the parents and their children. There's this one scene where Pete and his family (with Kao of course) were dining together and talking about the accomplishments of each child. I mean, it is fine to have that kind of conversation, parents being proud of their child's success in one thing but I wish that people would also take into account that children or people are different from each other. They also have different phases or timelines in growth so pushing or comparing their accomplishments with others will just drag their confidence and self-esteem down. In that scene alone, you can see the difference between Pete's father to others and how I wish that most parents will take into consideration about their child's feelings when it comes to situations like that. Parents want what's the best for their children but sometimes, supportive is far different from wanting them to be how they picture they would be. Parents are our guardians, they out light into the path we are taking, but sadly some are blinded with what their roles are. Sometimes they are the ones who put out the light and that's sad, most realized it, after all, is said and done but I hope that by the show, it'll open our eyes to have an open mind and heart.

Pete and his dad's relationship are one for the books. I know it's hard for him but I think that both him and Kao's mom had come into terms with themselves that what matters most is their children's wish and welfare, and that is enough.

Now, Non and his dad's relationship is what we commonly see, whether it's about one's gender or career they choose some parents are like Non's father. Maybe they've experienced something in their past that made them like that but it's also not an excuse to let your child suffer with something he doesn't have an understanding of. Now, I am not an expert when it comes to family relationships but I know one thing for sure, talking it out is a great help.

Timely Issues Awareness

I believe that DBK had put several issue awareness in the series and that's a very big thumbs up to me. Almost everybody is on social media right now, and we have to put it in good use. All phrases to the writers and director for putting it on.

*Safe Sex. It's rare to find shows that promote safe sex. And for DBK to show it with a parent-child scene, wow, that's a big shout out for the show. Some might find it awkward or meh but just what Pete's father said, it's normal to discuss it because you care for the people's health and welfare.

*Social Media Awareness. Some still haven't realized how powerful social media is, especially if you are one of the influencers. With this you can destroy one's life or make a statement. So we have to be careful and vigilant using social media.

*Coming Out. What I learned in the series and with some of my friends is you don't get too out of them. It should be themselves, when they want, how they want. Now, it may be difficult for others to understand but let's put it this way, will you like it if your parents know something about you through other people? No, of course not, you want them to know your decisions and choices from yourself, right? So let's not take that away from each other. Now not everyone will be given an opportunity like that but at least, let's try to be kind and let that decision to that person. It is already hard finding out for yourself that what they think of you is different from what you want or what you are, let's not make it even harder for others.

Some other things I love about Dark Blue Kiss

*The color tones they used. I AM IN LOVE WITH IT.

*Opening. It gives off regal and classic vibe and I like it.

*Tay and New's DBK OST. Don't fight me but it is a mood. Now maybe I am a little biased but I love singing TayNew. Who's with me?

Acting-wise, I applaud everyone.

Tay had just finished 3WBF then started Pete immediately and that just screams professionalism and talent.

New, the first thing I saw in New besides his facial features is his expressive eyes. I don;t know about you but New can convey Kao's feeling through his eyes. And that scene where Kao cries coming out with his mom, I am hurt. I cried too.

Podd. I am so looking forward to his delivery of Sun and he didn't disappoint me.

Fluke and Aj. They surprised me. This is the first time I see them acting and I can't wait to watch them in their next projects.

Dark Blue Kiss has a special place in my heart because I just felt it's every character. Plus I love series that have takeaways. So to the people who made the series possible, THANK YOU!

[bucksbisexual]

usually i'd write these on my laptop after watching the episode but it literally went dark and when it turned on again it was GLITCHING i have it on video,,,, anygays my opinion on ep10:

I FUCKING HATE NON(T) SO MUCH FUCK HIM

that's all for today tune in tomorrow for more <3

just kidding sjdjdmd a lot of things happened in this episode i need to comment them

im gonna start with the good things because there's only two (2) of those in this ep

RAIN!!!!!!!!!!! MY MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE DESERVES THE WORLD I LOVE HIM

his game is questionable but at least now manow is hearing him and letting him flirt sjdbdg

speaking of: MANOW!!!!!!!! I LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!! them together is my bisexual self's dream

second good thing was kitty because she's amazing and hella supportive and a wlw and we don't see those in his which means that she's the superior character period

honestly all women in this show (except mint she sucks) are goddesses i love them all

okay now to the ehem bad ehem i mean less good things,,,

btw i mean bad as in it broke my heart and made me emotional djdhdj this episode was rlly good

okay so sunmork: a mess

that's it for them haha

okay no but like rain standing up to sun and telling him about mork not fighting back at all and all that they wouldn't have walked out if mork had fought back??????? hell YES

yall know mork is..... not my favourite character but i found myself agreeing with rain because sun was being a little bitch and not letting them explain what happened

also something that i found really important here was rain telling sun that being older doesn't mean being wiser,, it's something that is an issue everywhere else but especially in countries with specific names to call your elders etc so yeah

okay let's move on to the disaster not-anymore-couple..............

god seeing pete put that folder of pics in the trash of a mf macbook hurt more than i expected

also those pics from taynew meal date made me laugh i was half crying half laughing sjdhdkd

just.... pete "cleaning" his room and crying hurt a shit ton,,,,,,,, i can't even imagine going through that god

imma just laugh and say that :D at :D least :D the :D break :D up :D wasn't :D on :D ep11 :D

kao crying on the bus home after that mess with non(t) which i won't even comment on because it makes me angry to think about.............

(according to the teaser of ep11 that little shit lied to his dad and now kao is gonna be falsely accused of something and i'm just so ready for kao to punch non(t)'s face please baby i'm begging you he's past a child he's a RAT)

another conversation with kao and his mom that just buildt up the tension for the scene where it actually happens and kao comes out,,,,,,,,, look idk what will happen but i hope that with all of this waiting it's good and not an i-have-to-come-out-before-i'm-outed kinda situation...........

god this show gives me PAIN and only PAIN

okay on a lighter note i laughed so much when that woman was talking with kao's mom about kao's mom not having grandchildren yet because like........ ma'am her son is a homosexual........... he has no interest in women...... like........... at all................

that's as light as it can get because then she asks kao if he has a girlfriend and kao's like haha im gay but i can't say that publicly because homophobia and my mom doesn't know yet so i can't even say i have a boyfriend and do i even have a boyfriend? pete has been ignoring me for days now and won't even pick up my calls and-

HAHA anygays that's it from me,,,,i hope my laptop is okay because i don't wanna watch the drama on my phone........

see u all probably tomorrow (idk if i will watch it tomorrow or not because im going outside with some friends :0) with my opinion on ep11,, bYE
