Thai Drama - Blog Posts

Asian dramas list (mostly lgbt).

I watch a lot of dramas and made this list for my friends so they knew which ones I like. Just putting it out there for anyone who wants some good recommendations.

🔹- particular faves.

- My engineer (the series). Four main gay couples. Adorable. Can be found on youtube. (Anxiously awaiting season 2) Thai.🔹

- 2moons2. Thai. (not just 2moons. The first series never got completed so they redid it.) three main couples, adorable. on youtube.🔹

- Love by chance. (Thai. Season 2 is currently benign released. On youtube, Viki and dailymotion.) two main couples, with two more iffy couples in the background. I don’t really count those. 🔹

- Sotus the series. One main couple. On Netflix. Season 2 is on dailymotion I think. Thai. 🔹

- Cause you’re my boy. Teen cringeyness, but adorable. One couple. Thai, On youtube.

- Why R you (the series). On YouTube’. Thai. (Two couples. Every couple is adorable in this. Main couple are huge dorks with a shared braincell).

- Until we meet again. (Has disturbing themes but happy ending) Thai. one main couple with a hinted second couple, on youtube.

- Theory of love. (Not my fave but still okay). Thai. On youtube.

- 2gether the series. (Adorable. Two main couples. Season 2 just came out) Thai. On youtube.🔹

- Diary of a tootsie. (A Thai comedy about a group of drag queen friends. Hilarious and crazy). On youtube or Dailymotion. There are two seasons and a movie. The movie is on Netflix. But watch the series first.

- YYY the series. Thai. (If you liked diary of a tootsie then this is also a ridiculous comedy. It’s a bit on crack) on dailymotion or Facebook.

- History3: trapped. (This is in mandarin). On Viki rakuten or Dailymotion. (All the history shows are on Viki).🔹

- History3: Make our days count. (Adorable but you’re WILL cry). On Viki and maybe Dailymotion. 🔹

- I actually recommend all of the history shows. They’re all lovely and cute. 🔹 (Update: Not History4: Close to you. The main couple are cute but I found the second couple triggering and toxic. I don’t recommend).

- The Untamed. (A bromantic Chinese drama but based off a lgbt novel). On Netflix. 🔹

- Advance bravely. (Another chinese ‘bromance’ based off of a bl novel). On dailymotion.

- Guardian. (Yet another ‘bromance’ based off a lgbt book. Fantasy show with a good plot and great characters) on Viki.

- Dark blue and moonlight. (Taiwan. On Viki, pretty good. The humans are flawed and it’s dramatic, but very realistic. On Viki).

- Hello stranger. (A Filipino drama. Ongoing- I’m currently watching this). On youtube.

- Game boys (Filipino drama set in lockdown, just came out. I related to this so much. Will cry!). On youtube. 🔹

- Just like the movies, Filipino drama. Roommates combined with the fake bf trope. (Currently being released. On youtube).

- Winter Begonia. (Yet another bl book turned into a bromance drama). Chinese. On youtube.

- Thirty years of virginity can make you a wizard (also known as cherry magic). Japanese bl. Absolutely adorable. Can be found on Dailymotion. 🔹

- Until we meet again & Love is more than a word. Chinese bl dramas. Both have the same casts but set in different times. One is a historical setting abs the other is in the 1930s. It’s the idea of reincarnation and lovers connected through lifetimes. Whole cast is amazing. 🔹

- Uncanny counter. Korean fantasy drama. Lovely characters. Absolutely adorable and great plot. Male main character is so wholesome. On Netflix.

- Gen Y the series. Thai drama. Main couple are adorable. Not sure what’s going on with the second couple though. On youtube.

- Ingredients the series. Thai. A very short adorable series obviously filmed in lockdown. Boyfriends cooking. On youtube.

- We best love N1: For you. Taiwan drama. Came out 2021. Enemies to lovers. On dailymotion. Adorable. 🔷

I need gmmtv to release something gay and dramatic STAT cuz im having a withdrawal rn please please give me some new gays

A lot of people in the fandom were mad at Sand for not drawing the line right away and sorta slumbering through Boeing's entire slut agenda but folks

As someone who identifies so strongly with Sand as a character I was happy to see Ray step up and claim him so shamelessly, so confidently. Because saviors also need saving sometimes, and this was the reassurance Sand needed. This was Ray proving he was all in and not only for his own sake. Sure Sand should have established boundaries right away but damn it give him a break. It was meh morally but it was okay, it was understandable. He's got issues of his own, he is not there just to serve Ray's arc

I am not ready for anyone's opinions honestly, but I just have to say this: as someone who has an alcoholic sibling, there is only so much you can do to stop an addict.

I mean, the friend group is shitty. I don't see the love or loyalty one expects from a friend group. Frankly, I don't think any of them have ever taken Ray's addiction seriously, but we do not know if they ever tried to help.

At some point you become exhausted. At some point, you realize the person you care about will not quit if they don't want to.

And Ray does have agency. He did not have to bring drugs to the party. His dellusions explain his behavior but do not justify it.

I'm very angry with Ray this week I'm sorry. This show is hitting too close to home

Actually everything on tumblr is about Ray and Sand from only friends

I love characters that think they can't allow themselves to love or be loved

just to have someone stride into their life to turn that concept upside down

I am Mew and Mew is me

Seriously, the guy:

1. Doesn't want a one-night stand because he knows he'll fall hard

2. Apologises to the guy he didn't hook up with because you know he got his hopes up and all

3. Brings said guy to a bookshop the next day and talks about his love for reading

4. Is extremely cute and wears glasses

Gmmtv I am gonna sue you for identity theft because what is this

people who discover gay soap operas never go back to western media

my silly little gay shows satisfy my need for queer stories with low stakes zero deaths and a lot of fucking

gmmtv the sponsor of my daily fix of gayness

the fact that RWRB came out the same week on only friends is so fuckin funny to me because people who only watch western media are really so desperate for queer content that ive seen people waxing poetic about so many (non) things meanwhile i'm out here SCREAMING at the top of my lungs because Mark Pakin violated privacy laws to put a sexy selfie onto a customer's phone and WON

you do not understand i am so obsessed with them it hurts

Just like Uncle Tong said, we might not be able to change the world, all we could do was adjust to it, and live happily. We might not be able to change people around us. But they couldn’t change the two of us either. BAD BUDDY (2021-2022)

&& bonus:

patpran's notes to each other (cr. @ohmnanoned)

i’m sorry but with pat and pran constantly going “we need to talk” in eps as early as 1 and 2 when they were supposed to be “rivals” should’ve told me that they were gonna have the healthiest fucking relationship out there when they started dating

Oooof didn't realise these two will end up clashing...dang ...may have to consider not starting not me when it airs...how will I fend off the spoilers thooo

i’m sorry for the person i’ll become when not me starts airing at the same time as bad buddy. it’s gonna be gmm lockdown in this house.

When Pran said "You've got to stop doing this to me. We are not a thing" on the rooftop, I found the English translation a little confusing. The first sentence makes it sound like Pran is asking Pat to stop being clearly romantic with him because it's hurting him, but the second sentence makes it sound like he's telling Pat to stop being clearly romantic because it's not appropriate to the kind of relationship they have, without any romantic feelings on Pran's part. Can you shed any light on what exactly Pran was trying to communicate?

Oh certainly.

This was one of my favorite parts because they used super subtle language rather than the usual Thai words for couple (which I can't spell but can now recognize) or faen.

The first bit is Pran saying basically:

"I've had enough. Stop jerking me around, emotionally. You've been flirting on and off with me for years and it's not fair. Because i know what's going on and how I feel about you. And I kind of always have since the pond incident."

The second bit is:

"It's not fair of you, Pat, to do these kind of things to me (possession, jealousy, casual affection, flirting) without you, Pat, having actual romantic feels for me. (And acknowledging them.)"

Pran thinks Pat is being casual with him. But Pran is not a casual person. This is about sincerity. 

I think Pran also thinks that Pat hasn't acknowledged his own feelings to himself yet. Remember, they have known each other a very long time. And Pran is a lot more self aware than Pat is (and he also knows that). I think he realizes that Pat is a little in love with him but Pran believes that Pat will never come to place where he can admit that to HIMSELF.

Thus the kiss is a real shocker to Pran, because he didn't think it would ever happen. And it's not that he thought Pat didn't have the guts, or wasn't action orientated, it's just that he didn't think Pat would ever have the level of self awareness required.

Pat grew up in the course of one episode, if I were Pran, I'd be surprised too.

----

As an IRL example, it's not quite the same thing but...

You ever have that friend who is clearly queer but just isn't yet?

So they aren't pretending, it's not even self delusion, because they just don't realize it. Sometimes it's family background, but sometimes it's just that they are too emotionally young. They haven't figured themselves out. How can they when they haven't had the right life experiences yet? They aren't to be blamed or pushed because of this. It's a void not a wound.

As friends (or sometimes family members) I think we often see queerness in the people we love before they see it in themselves. (Especially if we are a little older and already out.)

Because we, personally, aren't dealing with the guilt, shame, fear, loss, and rebuilding of identity that society's expectations place on our friend's way of thinking about themself. (Even if we've been through it, it's different for everyone, and we can easily forget because we want to.)

Even if the friendship group or family is accepting, it can be super hard. Because then there is a whole new set of expectations to come up against.

When analyzing Color Rush, I mentioned that no one really talks about how first love as a queer person is also a grieving process. (And anger: why must we grieve as we experience passion for the first time when the hets don't have to?)

Because as we open the closet door and walk into a queer identity we mourn the dead straight identity we left behind.

----

Which is a long way of saying, what we see on this rooftop with Pat & Pran is first love and new passion, but it is also grief.

“Awww, my honey is so smart!”

⠀⠀ ⠀   ⠀         ⠀ 𖥻        ♥︎         :     the best story.  🖇️   

oxygen the series: episode 13

non-sexual intimacy is my kink and this drama is the king of it. 

i’ve never seen a drama where the main couple gets together so early and there is ZERO relationship drama.  it’s all external conflict that they face head-on as a unit. communication + respect + patience + small touches to show they are precious to you…soooo good.

just skip through the hetero bullshit (didn’t watch any of it after ep 2 lol) and this is a very rare gem of a show. it has a soft, sentimental tone overall (except for big bunny energy kao/ball!) because the two main characters are both more reserved and quiet and when they were delivering the cheesiest of lines coming from any other character it is SO in-character for them felt. 

we're about to graduate already, we might not be able to see eachother like this again

me: *crying*

friend: what’s going on? why are you crying?

me: *gestures vaguely towards thailand* 

1000 stars ep. 5 + favorite shots

sarawat x tine + tumblr text posts

“I didn’t know you had a romantic side…”

Tomorrow is another friday, another episode, another shot of pure ecstasy. I have withdrawal symptoms the rest of the week.

And the best thing is that account exists!!!

I don't know if I'm laughing more because for the scene, or for P'Win nickname on Instagram!

PUHAHAHAHAHA

So the new motto is be gay do crime?
