Favorite Subtle Character Attributes in Thai BL
Some of my favorite things that actors have done to bring their character more depth but that aren’t really part of the script.
Sarawat’s little delighted chuckle when he has done something crafty, or Tine says something funny in Still 2gether in particular.
Kao’s tiny screams and other non-verbal noises of frustration or annoyance when Pete attacks in Kiss Me Again and Dark Blue Kiss.
Solo’s soft melting voice with Gui, especially at the end of sentences or when Gui surprises him with loyalty or affection in Oxygen.
Pete’s expression whenever Ae does something casually affectionate with him like it’s perfectly natural in Love By Chance.
The way Phun and Noh cuddle each other in sprawling floppy abandonment, like puppies, in Love Sick 2.
Arthit’s shameful happy small smile whenever Kong pushes his boundaries just a little too much in SOTUS S.
The way Rome is clearly proud of what a jerk Pick is, in a kind of “yes, he’s an arsehole, but he’s MY arsehole” way in Puppy Honey.
The tiny smug smile Type gives whenever he has managed to get one over on Tharn, or when someone else praises Tharn in his presence in TharnType. It’s basically, “I win.”
The way Dean always looks at Pharm like he couldn’t give a rats ass if anyone else existed in the universe in Until We Meet Again.
The way Fighter suddenly will switch from tense aggressive posturing to soft adoration, in this “I just give up with you” way. Like he’s been overwhelmed by Tutor into becoming sweet, in Why R U.
speaking of Zee...
That tiny smile he reserved only for his Nu in Cutie Pie is so flipping adorable and soft.
