I'm a Researcher by profession, prone to questioning everything. Living in Mumbai, I grew up on a stable diet of monotonous Indian dramas which stretch for a decade or so and I sincerely wanted to elude the boredom. So I escaped into the unknown, which is the world of BL dramas. I love sharing my thoughts about the storyline, characters and analyzing the smallest details possible. When something touches my heart, I want to know what others feel about the subject matter as well. That’s why, I’m here at BL Xpress. Being a writer gives me an outlet to explore my inner emotions and turmoil

Our Favorite Asian GLs So Far (2024)

2024 was surprisingly the “Year of GLs”. From a few succinct shows like “Gap The Series” & “Fragrance of the First Flower” which made their mark on the international platforms, we didn’t have any sapphic representation before. The tables have turned, with several prominent releases this year, and we have new fandoms coming into existence, more couples gaining traction.

We didn’t have any continuous projections, but the shows that premiered were indeed a worthwhile experience. We had some complicated adaptations with nuanced storytelling and casting that made waves across the continent. Spilling the beans, let me share my favorites from 2024!

Sharing the “Addiction for Love” with Director Yuan Danop

Breaking through stereotypes seems to be Director Yuan Danop’s favorite pastime. Recently in news for his Thai remake of the Chinese BL adaptation “Addicted Heroin”, Mr. Danop had a careful consideration in mind while recreating the original which was widely popularized because of its sexual undertones. There were mixed responses; while some applauded his attempt to tackle the subject with sensitivity, others were disappointed with the lack of NC content (which is fast becoming a norm in the Thai BL industry). Is breaking out of the mold a diffident procrastination? We sought answer to this question as we sat down for a thoughtful conversation with the talented filmmaker!
