Hii

Thank you for so much info and effort in your posts ✨

I have a question: which couples (main or not) feature men with facial hair?

Facial Hair in BL

OMG that is a so rare and I have never gotten this ask before.

I'm posting an answer but this is something I do not track, so I will need help. Keep an eye on the comments for the ones I missed.

BL's with facial hair

HIStory 2: Right or Wrong - this is an age gap romance and I suspect it was done, in part, to age up the protag, this is usually contrary to BL casting needs.

The Immeasurable (Taiwan), but that's a short.

I Feel You Linger in the Air, briefly and badly. Keep Thailand away from fake hair in general (their wig game is atrocious).

Present Perfect, but it's kinda for travel reasons.

Tonhon Chonlatee the sides. Man has it been a long time since I thought about that BL. (Did GMMTV let Mike have facial hair in 2gether too? I can't remember.)

Given's sides. Although nothing much happened with them.

Ossan's Love (SIGH) the love triangle

I feel like I have a memory of Earth, of EarthMix having fuzz on his face at some point. Seems like a sin since his angles are so good.

Our Days maybe?

The coach in the original Waterboyy? But do we want to remember (or even think about) that?

More?

Korea is mildly obsessed with jaw lines so I highly doubt we will ever get it from them, unless they go for a true BL historical. Even then it will be a side and they rarely do sides... so unlikely.

So far as I know, nothing from Vietnam. But one of the first Tein installments might have had something in an alt timeline.

Philippines is not unlikely. In fact, if I missed any major ones it's probably from there.

BL facial hair right now?

The sides in My Dear Gangster Oppa.

Upcoming Taiwanese BL VIP Only looks like is has a main with facial hair.

I mean there are some wisps on Jimmy in Last Twilight but do we call that facial hair or laziness?

Which should tell you this post is dated late 2023 and may not be updated after that date.

dunno how to word this but your mental health will be better if you can drop the concepts of “better” and “worse” as they relate to your current state.

if you think about the fact that you feel better than you have, then there’s the fear that it’s the best it’s ever going to get. if you think about the fact that you feel worse than you have, then there’s the fear that that’s the best it will ever be again.

if you can forsake these for “good right now” and “bad right now,” statements that only focus on the current, you can address your current state of mind without worrying about the past or the future. looking back, you might easily be able to say that a period was very good or bad, even of the best or worst periods, but when those pasts are present, you are free to experience them on their own terms

Hi, I'm here to recommend you watch Present Perfect and Present Still Perfect. Preferably back to back. And soon. Because they're fantastic.

Present Perfect is a soft, bittersweet BL that I'd definitely say is more Japanese style then Thai. Lots of soft moments, sadness, knowledge that nothing is forever and softness. No heat, basically. Does end sadly, bittersweet and a bit lonely. But don't worry!

Present Still Perfect is the sequel! And it's VERY much Thai style, a few VERY high heat scenes, not even super BL more like just a gay romance movie. Lots of adults figuring out their lives and their loves as adults living those lives.

The story of Toey and Oat is well told and realistic enough with just enough of that beautiful softness and love and a happy ending with loving, supportive people that you will not regret a second.

Highly recommend! Especially Present Still Perfect. That is one fantastic movie with a lot of love and support and beautiful family.

I love him. I’ve been in love with him for 4 years.
