Happy Pride Month to All!
As Thailand celebrates Bangkok Pride Parade in gusto and awaits the reading of their marriage equality bill, we had some surprises making their way from unexpected quarters. So, while you are enjoying the Pride Month and feeling proud, let’s redirect your focus back to the excitement in the BL world!
We are back with the second edition of the lucrative business that is fan service. Exclusive to the Thai BL/GL industry, fans spend quite a amount on ticket sales for concerts or purchasing merchandise. Popular brands lobby to support these couples, so they could promote their products. But how many of these pairings have actual chemistry?

Sometimes, the security and self-assurance we need is in a person who pushes us to feel secure and needed.

Another unrushed week with few announcements but some surprising updates. As May ends, and we step into the month of June, the downpour is reasonably declining with production houses mostly focusing on shows that are set to premiere next month.

The second season of “Heartbreak High” is as drama-packed as one would expect, with friendships blossoming, relationships and characters developing, the titular heartbreaks of course and Amerie (Ayesha Madon) never really catching a break. “Heartbreak High” deserves the same treatment that its predecessor did, with many seasons and more episodes, because it is not only entertaining, but tackles a wide variety of issues that teens deal with, that could be handled with more nuance if it wasn’t limited to the 8 episodes that Netflix has doomed it to. There is a lack of topical, fun teen dramas that are engaging and pop cultural in the way that “Pretty Little Liars”, “Gossip Girl” and all the ABC and CW dramas did back in the day, and “Heartbreak High” fills this gap, with a queer-forward diverse cast and tackling real issues in a way that it seems like it must go on forever.

Last week was rather slow, with few announcements. We don’t know if the momentum will pick up this week, but we are bringing you the scarce amount of updates that graced the social network in the last few days.
This is a surprisingly, shockingly smart, articulate, and very well-done BL with loads of moral precepts that I was not expecting. In other words, I loved this series through and through. It is very adult-like and tackles some sensitive issues in a veiled way that you have to peel away like an onion. The screenplay is very impressive. Sure, it has its weak moments, but they are few and far between and do not deflect from its core message.
Long after Sam first came to Mon’s rescue when they were kids, Sam is unambiguously Mon’s idol. To be near her, Mon gets a job working under her. When they finally meet again at the office, Mon is surprised by her icy exterior, so different from the image she’d had of her and what she wants to be. Mon and Sam aren’t just different in demeanor; they stand apart in class and between them is a gap of eight years.

While fan service is an integral part of the Thai BL industry, there are very few BL pairings that live upto the expectations of the avid fans. It could be attributed to the off-the-charts chemistry between them, the camaraderie they share off-screen and the stories they choose. Today, we are talking about few such onscreen BL couples that are on the rise & slowly making their mark!
