“Bed Friend The Series” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

While delving into the Boys’ Love universe, many will understand that most dramas are inspired by Yaoi manga or light novels that exist online. The tall dark-haired man, the lily white skinned auburn-haired, feminine man who often submits to the whims of the dark haired man like a wife- troupe or classic style of storytelling. This is entirely the characteristics that most viewers experience from the onset of the series. I haven’t read the novel by “Littlebbear96”. So, I do not know if the vision was from Yaoi, but the live action version is definitely a living, breathing Yaoi and I adore the boldness of the vision with which Cheewin Thanamin directs this show. After last year’s “LoveStage”(not the same director), I was hugely wary of live action Yaoi’s. Mainly because in the past, actors didn’t seem like they wanted to commit to the roles they play; or the script changes the key aspects relative to the characters. It created a disconnect for me as a viewer and made me feel like I wasted my time.

“Chains of Heart” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

When I first saw the trailer for Chains of Heart, I was instantly intrigued. Hot men, action, a masked crusader on the side of good or evil? But what struck me the most was watching the customary Thai funeral of a man I didn’t know, but I could feel that his death will have a profound effect on the main characters and the storyline. The fact it felt like a spiritual successor to “KinnPorsche” was undeniable. As a fan of the darker BLs and Yaoi, my gay heart did a backflip ending in a split at what I was seeing.

Upcoming Asian BL Dramas – Part II

February came with a lot of surprises. Firstly, Devonte296 series “The Promise” was postponed to March. Thai projects “Destiny Seeker”, “Moments of Love” and “Café in Love” were released, but much to our disappointment they weren’t made available to International fans. Domundi aired “Our winter” with 1-minute-long episodes, while Japan delivered the scintillating “Jack o’ Frost”. Korea adapted “To My Star 2” into a movie that’s 4.5 hours long and the first virtual reality BL series was released.

The heart behind Moonlight Chicken

The world is complex, divided by generations and full of diverse dreams, ideas, relationships and socioeconomic situations. Although there are barriers between us–language, time zones, territorial boundaries–there is something much bigger than all of this that brings us together: humanity. We are all human. We are all emotional. We are all struggling to survive on the same planet.
