gotta love a couple that meets mouth-first
I find it incredibly impressive how Be On Cloud has now TWICE made me ship a couple completely out-of-the-box.
They took two "fixed" couples, put one person from each with someone else, and made me fall for the alternative couple instead, while still making me appreciate very much the original pairing.
It does raise the question about the industry and if the other agencies should try to dare and risk more, offering products with well-shaped characters without the assumption that we will see the "fixed" couple end up together just because it's the expectation we have.

Back to @slonekaru ‘s part 2 of the 15-day BL challenge (a sequel to an earlier one started by @negrowhat ) !
Day 27: Top 3 BL Kisses?
For my own sanity, I'm going to do only 2024 shows. Even then, I could not get it down to less than 10! I divided them into two ways of defining "best":
Best kisses as in most thrilling in the plot:
Wandee Goodday. I should've been pissed at how long they used that no-kiss rule to delay gratification, and many were, but for once I was delighted to be strung along. They did it amazingly well in my opinion, and the payoff was perfection.

Meet You at the Blossom. Of course I held my breath wondering if there'd be an actual (consensual) kiss, and when it came, and was so physical (snot and all) yet tender, I was on the floor.

Jack & Joker: U Steal My Heart. When they finally FINALLY come to a place where they can confess and kiss, it's wild. At first I was like "War slow down--you're going so fast you're not actually kissing." Then Yin stops him, holds him back for a few seconds, and goes in much slower and more exploratory, and I realized it was completely deliberate the way they did it--Joke was so frantic to finally be able to express his love that he had no finesse or patience until Jack calmed him down. Incredible arc in just a kissing scene.

AntiReset. I cannot tell you how many times I rewatched their kiss by the lake. The interplay of robot-human, student-teacher and servant-master all adding these layers to their dynamic, and then both of them silently agreeing to treat the kiss like a bit of research, Yi Ping's flustered looks afterward and Ever 9's delight that they had a shared joke--it was so many kinds of fun and sexy.

My Love Mix-Up. Although I found the show overall to be a let-down, I truly appreciated the first kiss! Unlike Cherry Magic, I didn't mind the original Mix-Up not having kisses. At the same time, I loved the cheeky way the new one starts the kiss under a cloth, as if they're going to fake the audience out, and then the cloth falls and we get to see it after all. So cute!

Best kisses as in best actors at portraying kisses:
Billy & Babe in The Sign. Any, all, every kiss between them is phenomenal. I know, I've watched each one dozens of times.

Sailub & Pon in Pit Babe and This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans. See note above.

Jes & Bible in 4 Minutes. They had to portray three completely different love stories, and the kisses in each reflected the contrasting vibes with subtle perfection: awkward and giggly, artful and cynical, and soft and romantic.

Fort & Peat in Love Sea. I mean, no two actors seem as completely comfortable with one another physically. They go AT it with kissing (and everything else), giving the most convincing portrayal of shameless, uninhibited, uber-horny lovers of anyone this year.

Bas & Fuaiz in 4 Minutes. These two were a close second, and the complexity of their dynamic that they had to portray with far less screen time and far fewer episodes was truly impressive.

Is this QL couple into that kink?
Are they into this?
Yes
No
Nuance

I need Bas and Fuaiz in another drama together! they were so good as Korn and Tonkla I can't let them go
Be on Cloud... WTH 😒
Every time you give us an anticipated scene, you will HAVE to put it up in an episode with such brutality otherwise, that, even if I want to, I'm unable to appreciate the scene as much as I thought! It'll take me a few months & a few more re-watches to appreciate it.
Don't believe me...? Okay, here we go.
Remember, KinnPorsche the series, episode 13? Yes, the famous pool scene, that had us in a chokehold ever since it aired.
THIS! This could be appreciated only months after we saw it the first time! You know why? Coz' we were busy crying our eyes out over VegasPete and KimChay!
We cried. Not knowing what the writers had in store for us. Not even seeing a ray of light at the end of the fcuking tunnel!!!
And then, came along 4 Minutes. It had its share of ups and downs. It was almost scrapped. Then it came back to life. Okay. But the trailer gave us this!
We were experiencing ecstasy! We were beside ourselves. OMG. Great is getting his 🍑 ate. That had to mean it was a high- quality BoC grade high-temp NC scene. You know what I keep thinking now?

TonKla taking a Great shot (pun intended). Neither can I be pleased with the NC scene, nor can I move on with the fact that Tyme & Great are not in a great place, relationship situationship wise. People are dead, left, right and centre. TonKla is possibly an absconding murder suspect. Korn is not even the good human being Great was imagining! 🦆!
Now do what you may, with this information!
