BL Mini-Bytes

The slow burn was obvious last week, with fewer updates, as more shows reached their finale episodes. With fresh shows making their premiere dates known, we might be seeing a slight decline in updates or exclusives!

The Japanese- Thai World of Remakes

The Boys’ Love world might be undergoing a transformation, but there are some classics that remain forever. Their popularity transcends boundaries and as such, these days, we get to see a consistent production of remakes. Remakes mostly attempt to clock the beauty of the original masterpiece while infusing their own flavors!

“Let Me In Your Heart” Series Review (Ep.1 to 10)

Here again is another BL that I desperately wanted to like. And oh, did it have some fine moments in it. Perhaps it might STILL not be registering, without hard proof, of course (because it is difficult to obtain accurate numbers), that the majority of the BL audience may not be Thai or, at the very least, might be very evenly distributed. While the story certainly does not have to appeal to the non-Thai audience, nonetheless, that fact must be taken into consideration. So, the understanding that a large part of the audience might not know the nuances, intricacies, or subtlety of something so unique like Likay. I reviewed this series from a perspective that I know nothing about Likay Thai dance. For me, this was discernably unique, beautiful, exotic, mesmerizing, colorful, and captivating.

“Mujhe Rang De” (An Unusual Beginning) Series Review (Ep.1 to 7)

Loosely translated, the title of this series means ‘Color me’ and that is an apt description of this mosaic enterprise as it is a mixture of human drama along with a vibrancy of artistic expression. I hesitate to label it as a BL because it is clearly not; yet it is a love story. The protagonists are adult gay men navigating societal norms and challenges that stem from enduring repressive attitudes regarding acceptable sexual behavior in their contemporary world. This is a story of two men who fall in love while facing societal judgments about their relationship. For theirs is a society that is hardly ‘open’ to having two men fall in love and even more intolerant of them staying together. The story is honest, blunt, and full of pain. Oh, their pain is insidiously underwhelming, which makes it perhaps even more acute. What would or could overcome the pain? Love.
