Married Life

[asianlgbtdrama]

Hey, stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Let's take some photos to remind us of our first date. First date? Why? It's nothing. It's just that you said, "First date".

MY SCHOOL PRESIDENT (2022-2023) แฟนผมเป็นประธานนักเรียน

I remain convinced that this series doesn’t end with Tanrak getting ordained. And it’s not because this is a GMMTV show. It’s because I just don’t believe that this is a story of a young man realizing his queerness, experiencing queer joy, and then repressing it to join the priesthood. I think it’s a story of finding the courage to step outside of something that has provided a strong sense of comfort and safety. Of finding the courage to rethink your belief system, and the grief that comes with that. And of choosing a life of love and joy, as opposed to the promise of an afterlife of love and joy.

The Rasa Game!

Game was started by @siathawisit and @maybe-boys-do-love. I was tagged by @my-rose-tinted-glasses and @dramalove247, thank you both! This looks very fun!

I decided to go a slightly different route - I'm going to do The GMMTV Boys Edition™️. Basically, I'll pick (at least) one of the pairs for each rasa as either my favorite couple for the given aesthetic/vibe, or a pair I think would do very well in that aesthetic/vibe, drawing a little bit on my days of casting-director-dom. I'll put a few notes about my choices, too.

Here we go!

1. Sringara (शृङ्गारः): Romance, Love, Beauty, Eroticism

EarthMix. EARTHMIX. Just give them some moody lighting and let them fucking yearn at each other and that's a damn good scene right there.

2. Hasya (हास्यं): Laughter, Mirth, Comedy

MarkOhm is an easy choice here! Mark is hilarious, and Ohm plays off of him really well. I do appreciate their more dramatic moments, and both of them do pain and longing really well, too. But! For a comedy, especially with an improv style, it's them for me.

Buuuut... taking a close second...

...is JuniorMark! Also some great comedic chops on those two.

3. Raudram (रौद्रं): Fury, Anger

GemFourth! But like think about it. Li Ming and Heart? The simmering rage in Barth? The way Gun holds all his pain inside, behind a smile? Yeah. Them.

4. Karuṇā (करुणा): Compassion, Mercy, Spiritual Longing, Sorrow

FirstKhao. I always want to watch them forgive themselves and each other and find in their sorrow a companion to weather the storm with. Akk and Ayan. Sand and Ray. Their upcoming roles for The Invisible Dragon! Yeah, it's them for me.

5. Bībhatsa (बीभत्सं): Disgust, Aversion, Repulsion

... *runs away* it's a joooooooooooooooooke just a jooooooooooooooke

6. Bhayanaka (भयानकं): Horror, Terror, Overwhelm

ForceBook! Not only did they do excellently with PhoomVicha, but I think Book has a very dark, twisted villain character inside him that I would love to see played out... with Force as his horrified but inexplicably mesmerized love? Yes please.

(I do think PerthSanta take a close second on this - Santa has a feral energy behind his eyes sometimes that I want unleashed. Let him go crazy!)

7. Vīram (वीरं): Heroism, Energy, Adventure

Heroes! Kings of BL! Forefathers! Still killing it constantly! It's TayNew. Gotta be TayNew.

(buuuuuut... if I have to give out a second place...

...I think AouBoom are right behind them!)

8. Adbhutam (अद्भुतं): Awe, Wonder, Amazement

GreatInn! Look at them. LOOK AT THEM. I rest my case. (I miss them.)

(and for second place...)

I think OffGun respect the hell out of each other as actors, and that respect translates to wonder and awe. They've been doing this for so long, and they've been together for so long, and they still manage to push each other to perform at their best.

9. Santam (शान्तरस): Peace, Tranquility, Calm

JimmySeaaaaa. My favorite vibe of theirs is soft & domestic. They are so cuddly.

And that's a list! No idea who hasn't done this, so... tag! You're it! 😊
