This week, so many series began and ended that it almost gave me whiplash. Still, there were some highlights.
“Chosen Home” is a queer drama from Japan that made me smile through the entire episode. I wouldn’t call it BL. Still, it had a strong found-family element that I adored.
Of the thirty-four currently airing BL dramas, I am only watching thirteen. Even so, it feels like a lot to watch. Perhaps it’s because the buzz on social media keeps increasing. More and more people have something to say about these series, which is amazing but also time-consuming.
The big news on the street this week in Thai BL was the drop of the teaser for “Knot”, which is the new project from MFlow Entertainment. It is an omegaverse series that will star Boat and Oat, who recently did “My Stubborn”. Honestly, I think they are perfectly suited for the kind of tension needed for an omegaverse, and I’m excited to see what they do with it.
The best part of the Thai BL live-action series year is upon us, and that is the lineups for next year. So far, we know that WeTV’s lineup will be on November 4. Rumor has it that GMMTV’s lineup will be sometime during October. I swear that those moments make it feel like Christmas for a BL lover like me.
What do you do when there are so many fabulous BL series happening at the same time? Every day becomes a lazy couch potato day.
Seriously, though, Saturdays have so many great series currently airing. My favorite is probably “Khemjira” still, but “Revamp” is fun, and “The Wicked Game” has now started. I may or may not have spent all of yesterday on the couch.
KristSingto and EarthMix were both fabulous, and I’m so glad I got to participate in that experience! I discussed it fully last Tuesday during BL Week in Review, which is always a fun time. Thank you all for participating. Don’t forget to join us. It’s on Tuesdays at 6 PM PST on the BL Xpress YouTube channel.
Eight series ended this week, and we only have one new series beginning next week. I think we are finally getting some breathing room for a minute.
I enjoyed “The Proper Way to Write Love”, “Memoir of Rati”, and “The Promise of the Soul” enough to recommend them here. Each series had a unique premise and was easy to follow. I believe “The Proper Way to Write Love” had the best execution, but “Memoir of Rati” certainly follows close behind. Anyway, they would make a fun binge session for a weekend where you just need to relax.
School wore me out this week, and consequently, I find myself here on Saturday evening, playing catch up. I looked at my social media and realized I hadn’t posted any reviews most of the week, which is unusual for me. Still, I’m glad I’m able to write this article each week and reflect upon all that happened, since there’s always quite a bit going on.
There are twenty-five series currently airing that are accessible to international viewers, plus a variety of reel series, and I have chosen to watch thirteen of them. I guess that’s what happens when the BL flood begins.
Brief Announcement: This Tuesday, August 19, my livestream will be at 5 PM PST instead of 6 PM. I hope to see you there.
