when paintings lead to love, but love is not solely about two people. is it wrong? if ‘she’ and ‘she’ want to be together?

heyy do you have some recommendations of more serious/realistic romance thai BLs (or non thai also) like the ones you mentioned in your recent post? they are all my favourites and i'm also a bit disappointed in things that were announced :(. i pretty much only know gmmtv stuff but also not so much.

hello my lovely!!! yes i can absolutely give you some recs. these are what i can think of off the top of my head for each country:

Thai (as well as the ones I mentioned in the post)

  • never let me go
  • triage
  • manner of death
  • he’s coming to me
  • i told sunset about you

South Korea

  • the eighth sense
  • to my star (season 1+2)
  • blueming

Japan

  • my beautiful man
  • old fashion cupcake
  • love is better the second time around

China + Taiwan (aka the goat at classic drama)

  • history 3: trapped
  • we best love (season 1+2)
  • stay with me
  • unknown

these are pretty much the spectrum of what I’d call classic, romantic dramas, from ones that centre on themes of crime (manner of death, never let me go, history 3) to ones with very simple plots but very well written and performed (basically what ive listed from South Korea and Japan) to high drama done well (china/taiwan). i hope you find something you enjoy and get your drama fix

watching the gmmtv live while at work was a struggle but i managed it and my lab work so here’s my takeaways:

1. gmmtv, after conquering the japanese in the last part of the announcements, has now moved on to south korea. from what i gauged, only scarlet heart is a remake (of scarlet heart ryeo im guessing?) but the dark dice (or whatever it was called) i feel like is based off a manhwa and if not is heavily inspired by those kind of shows that have been popular in south korea (im thinking night has come, pyramid game etc)

2. gmmtv doesn’t want to give us serious, romantic plots. i can literally group all these announcements into 2 types of shows; fluffy, light rom-coms or dark-themed thriller-esque shows. that’s it. sometimes you’ll mix a little of one into the other, but for the most part, that’s what all these shows are, with the exception of the gl, us the series, and maybe thame-po as i don’t think it’s giving such a silly, comedic vibe as the rest of the lighter shows do. and that’s my main disappointment, bc it’s not like they haven’t done it before, im thinking of atots, last twilight, moonlight chicken- and no, it doesn’t escape me that these are all p’aof shows, but just bc he’s not directing, it doesn’t mean we should have to lose this style of show.

im not as disappointed as i thought i would be, but im also not particularly shocked or bowled over by anything. but ive learned before that i shouldn’t disregard shows so early so I’ll give everything a chance and hope i can get my desperately needed dose of pure romance somewhere else (japan and taiwan im looking at you)

i didnt watch unknown as it was airing bc i knew it would consume me so i decided to binge it all today. i was correct. it has consumed me.

#i am so unwell#and the thing is there is no specific moment or ep i can point to or rewatch to get out out of my system#there is something about the all consuming atmosphere of the show that’s so dense and heavy it’s impossible to escape it I don’t know how#and i find it incredible how they managed to established that atmosphere and built it so well and reached these peaks of emotion that you’d#think would break all that tension but it just returns 10-fold#like this is how you do storytelling this is how you plot a 12 episode drama#bc you get the peak in ep 6 that is the crux of the story getting revealed but you’re only halfway#there’s still so much story to go and they show all of it#they show that this is a thing that takes time and thought and it perfectly demonstrates how stuck in his ways wei qian is#and i find it incredible how both the actors were able to convey the passing of time and their growing up through their performance you can#really feel how wei yuan matures and how what’s perceived as this childish crush or obsession never leaves bc it was never that it was#always more serious and concrete but in his maturity he can show that#and there’s something so crushing about watching wei qian i swear i choked up so many times watching this show bc they both got to me so bad#but wei qian’s story and his outlook on life is so universal and so true to that older brother role that so many people have#i am rambling so bad i just wanna like… exist in the vibe of this show forever#bc the heaviness of it makes you feel the weight lift in the moments of joy it’s beautiful#unknown
