OOOO, for the GL peeps out there!!!
This Week In BL - SO MUCH
Nov 2021 Wk 1
Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs.
Ongoing Series - Thai
My Mate Match (Line) Ep 4 - my darling queer babies, you’ll never guess what happened, we have representation of (drum roll please) CONSENT!!! This is very exciting. I am now firmly in camp Ryu. Second lead syndrome strikes again.
Bite Me Ep 10 (Viki) - okay I don’t get what the drama was really about the last few eps but we seem to be right back in pre-ep 8 territory. Odd, but at least Aek admitted to his mom he’s into Aue. (Miss translation on some of that, by the way, he wasn’t saying he was into Aue the way he was into his mother (because, yech) he was saying he wanted to care for Aue as one would an intimate, kind of like “I want him to be my person, part of my family.” Anyway, this show could have ended here but I guess we still have two more episodes. What an oddly disappointing series this turned out to be.
Bad Buddy (YouTube) Ep 2 - Increasing disgust with the two friendship groups match with increasing delight in the main couple, excellent pacing and some classically GMMTV moments means it’s all good and I’m all good with it. I’m live blogging this here.
Ongoing Series - Not Thai
My Sweet Dear (Korea - Viki) Ep 5-6 - seriously reminded itself, and the world, that it has the word sweet in its title. Multiple disjointed dates were had and they were fricking adorable. I’m nervous about the torture still to come with only 2 episodes left how will that be resolved? Or is this just gonna continue to stay soft and dramaless? Either way I’m finding it charming.
My Type (Taiwan indie - hard to find but a kind soul is subbing it here) Ep 1 - It’s cute! Crash into me trope launches the relationship (of course, Taiwan LOVES this one) between a jock and a nerd. It’s gonna be 6 short episodes phone-filmed, reminds me a bit of Friend or Lover only better acted. The same channel also has Love’s Outlet (which was originally supposed to have a BL sub plot, but I don’t think it ended up that way, and at 50 eps I can’t be bothered to check).
Vanishing My First Love AKA Kieta Hatsukoi (Japan - indie subbed) Ep 4 - Aoki is the biggest drama queen disaster bi to end all disaster bis, Bizilla! He’s a gift we do not deserve but will definitely make use of. Plus I think we can pretty solidly say Ida is repping for ace spectrum. Did I cry a bit over Aida/Akkun figuring out what he’d done wrong? OMG yes, I’m a sap remember? (as well as disaster bi trash panda) And now Aoki has a VERY enthusiastic wingman and a field trip trope to deal with. There’s a best boy AND a best girl. This show keeps getting better.
In Case You Missed It - The Thai Edition
NilunDon Ep 0 was supposed to drop Sunday Oct 31. It was on Gaga for a red hot minute and then vanished. No one knows what’s up.
2Gether The Movie was supposed to have released into Thai theaters on Nov 4. Did this happen? We don’t know but there’s a trailer. It looks like more of the same. Give the people what they want, I guess?
Love With Benefits Ep1 was supposed to start Monday on Line TV but wasn’t global facing. @heretherebedork reports it’s on a 2 week delay for international audiences, so should be dropping Nov 17th on the DV8 Thailand YouTube channel, sub them to follow. This seems to be My Mate Match Mock 2 only with Gameplay (Ingredients) in the middle. I’m game but confused.
You’re My Sky got a second teaser video and is listed as coming January 2022 to one31 & WeTV.
Don’t Say No dropped a special episode via pay-per-view on the Vimeo website. Ya’all know my ass isn’t gonna bother.
KinnPorsche did a press conference and got a release date of April 2022. It looks like Gameplay is out, but Jeff (Ingredients), Tong (Second Chance, TharnType) and Perth (My Engineer) are still in.
Gaga International picked up distribution of Pops TV’s Paint with Love (Nov 26).
Wabi Sabi dropped a teaser for Absolute Zero. One of those that has been in the works for absolute ages. Trailer says “coming soon” but no date or distributor. This is a “time loop to prevent tragedy” romance. We don’t always get HEAs from this studio, so be on your guard.
Mini snippets dropped on Twitter for Between Us (coming 2022) and a special released to Wabi Sabi’s paid YouTube channel but should be public next week. I expect Tumblr gif wizards to blow up over it once that happens.
GOSSIP - there’s A LOT (it’s that time of year)
New Thai BLs incoming. Announcements/rumors are gonna start to ramp up now we are at the end of the year. Remember last year? We had over 20 Thai BLs that were announced for 2021 and never happened. So be very wary wittle wabbits.
GMMTV 2022
There are wild rumors about TayNew (the Kiss series) doing a new BL.
Also rumors of EarthMix (1000 Stars) getting another BL novel adaption.
Joong Archen (2 Moons 2) has apparently signed with GMMTV (didn’t I SAY they should gun for J9 like years ago?) and is rumored to star in the novel adaption of Engineer Cute Boys by Jittirain (2gether).
Presumably, we’ll learn more if GMMTV does their usual massive 2022 line up announcements. Though they might not this time, since they failed spectacularly to live up to 2021’s promises (for good reason).
NOT GMMTV 2022
MaxTul rumored to have a new 2022 project. We can but hope. I honestly thought these boys were done with BL. But apparently Kings gotta hold onto the throne. Can’t let OffGun or BoomPeak win. But as Slipper & the Rose once said,
“Absolute monarchs should rule absolutely, it’s very becoming.”
Other 2022 announcements included:
Remember 15 - stars Jimmy, Tommy, Zee (Why R U?) in a 12 episode horror series that has promo shots for only het couples but is rumored to have BL & GL
Past-senger AKA Pastsenger - stars Marc (My Gear & Your Gown) and Copper (My Engineer) in a time slip story (90s kid travels to 2022) that seems a lot like a couple Kdrama’s I’ve watched only BL, so that’s cool.
Chains of Heart - suspense thriller about a forest ranger, illegal smugglers, memory loss, and secret love. Stars Haii (Cirrus in TT2) and Poppy (Porpla in YYY).
Mame has a new project for MeMindY called มายากาล.
I don’t wanna.
Gossip 2 - Outside of Thailand
Taiwan has 2 new projects rumored for CHOCO TV from the producers of HIStory 2&3. Neither has an MDL listing last I checked, but it’s Taiwan so I’m too excited not to talk about it:
I Secretly Fell in Love with Student Council President (let the dumb titles continue, why mess with success?) - is this a remake of Light on Me?
God's Military Officer (now THIS sounds interesting)
Also they are supposed to be bringing us WBL Boys’ Vacation. Yes, that is the We Best Love franchise. I guess it’s a franchise now? Anygay, the whole cast seems to be back for it. Ah cha cha.
Money Boys is a BL movie coming Nov 19 to Taiwanese cinemas.
New Korean BL rumored for 2022 called Cherry Blossoms After Winter - high school set, cohabitation, hurt comfort + friends to lovers, their answer to Love Sick? Looks good. (Or is this the honest adaptation of At A Distance Spring is Green that we all were hoping for?)
Viki also announced a new K-BL, Tinted With You, starting Dec 22 (by my calculations). No other info on this one but you can follow it on Viki.
My darlings at Strongberry are looking for corporate sponsors to make us a full length K-BL series. FULL LENGH SERIES! OH PLEASE OHPLEASE. If they promised a GL subplot do you think we could convince Subaru to do it?
Too soon?
Speaking of the Japanese...
What Did You Eat Yesterday the movie is releasing to Japanese cinemas but it looks like it’s not getting international distribution.
Japan is giving us an mpreg: Hiyama Kentaro no Ninshin. Not BL, it’s a het couple. It seems legit, not a joke. So... there’s that.
Who was it that once said?
“the universe is not only queerer then we expect but queerer than we can possibly imagine”
Anygay, they were probably talking about Japanese cinema.
Okay so that was A LOT. Sorry, don’t blame the messenger.
Next Week Looks Like This:
Gaga launches Taiwanese GL! Fragrance of the First Flower on Nov 12. I don’t have a sub to gaga, but I hope it’s good for you! Looks sad.
Loveless Society is supposed to start on Thursday in Line TV.
Some shows may be listed later than actual air date for International subs accessibility reasons. Also I tend to put Sat/Sun stuff onto Mondays.
Upcoming 2021 BL master post here. (many of these now unlikely to happen this year)
Links to watch are provided when possible, leave a comment if I missed something.
This week’s best moments?
ICONIC
Yeah. Hmm. Not a lot going on in this starting issue. Hopefully Hal doesn't get the job at Ferris. Not sure where I want him to work but it's gonna be suck if his civilian life is either just not in focus despite them limiting the story to Earth, or we have to keep wincing about how the cast are like explicitly part of the military industrial complex
Oh but uh. Carol is explicitly investing in drone warfare. Kind of an unavoidable conceit without a major character moment but. Yikes.
Idk what exactly happened with the United Planets but I do appreciate that Hal is like yeah there was like. A thing that made us follow the Guardians I'm not going to go be the government's cop. ← Being incredibly selective in my reading

By Barbara Lewis BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The world's leading industrialized nations gave their backing on Thursday to a new global deal on climate change in 2015 after promises from the United States at the start of the week galvanized flagging momentum. The United States' plan to cut emissions from power plants by 30 percent by 2030, which will run into domestic opposition, prompted the European Union into a defense of its own record. A draft of the G7 communique seen by Reuters said the leaders affirmed their "strong determination" to adopt a new global deal in 2015 that is "ambitious, inclusive and reflects changing global circumstances". It said the G7 nations - Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States - remained committed to low-carbon economies and limiting temperature rises to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the limit scientists say can prevent the most devastating effects of climate change.
