Heya what series is SOTUS? I haven’t seen that one yet hehe.
Erm really? I'm bad at grocking humor on the internet (unless it's a pun) so I am going to take this seriously.
SOTUS
SOTUS is basically THE Thai heritage BL. Technically Love Sick (2014) started it all, but Love Sick was mostly only SUPER popular in Thailand. It did cause a ramp up the Thai Bl production industry, but SOTUS was GMMTV's first major BL (2016) and it was a hit by any standards. High production, clean concept, tailored script, great and beautiful cast, and it made huge waves. Because...
It became popular outside of Thailand.
It was picked up (eventually) by Netflix. It's responsible for GMMTV leaning into BL, and basically for the expansion of BL out of Thailand in general. Even in a way for BL being on YouTube and easily accessible worldwide.
A LOT of stuff can be laid at SOTUS's door. 2gether would be the BL that became a global sensation (lockdown, baby) but 2gether would never have happened without SOTUS's success. (I talk about this is the History of Thai BL and the Thai BL Master post).
SOTUS is also really responsible for GMMTV realizing how successful a branded actor pair could be. So a lot of problems in that Thai BL industry can also be laid at SOTUS's door.
ALSO it starts a lot of tropes we have come to expect from Thai BL, like engineering, gears, pink milk, and more.
It has a strong bully theme, and that is a trigger for a lot of people so I don’t rec it much. Also the uke character is VERY blushing maiden, to the point where I prefer to think of him as demi or ace.
Here's where I review and talk all about it.
Is SOTUS worth watching?
One of its major themes is the two characters eating together, which I really love.
It exists in three installments, all of which are solid and well done (I think).
SOTUS - college set
SOTUS S - workplace set
Our Skyy: SOTUS episode - a parting/reunion special
Usually they cna be found on GMMTV's YouTube channel. You should watch them in order.
