not at khanin literally pulling rank and making charan his royal guard to make him stay by his side. i’m all for this kinda abuse of power lmao

[billkiinpp]

ngl i replayed the scene where khanin swiftly switches partners to dance with charan like so many times cos damn he be smooth af. it was iconic

[billkiinpp]

i can already tell khanin’s butler, chakri is going to be my fav character in the show. he’s gonna be the character projecting all my giggles and woop woop moments for charan and khanin

[billkiinpp]

okbut what did i say about chakri possibly being my fav character cos he really went ahead and said y’know what since its come to this why not just feed into it and have charan and khanin do cute stuff together having said that - it was not cool that their private convo got leaked like that 🥲

watching the next prince truly feels like all those god-tier well written prince x knight/bodyguard jikook ao3 fanfics i used to read back in the day come to life but even ✨BETTER✨

ok just spent the whole day watching The Eclipse and god damn - I've been away from the bl scene online and such so don't know if it was hyped or talked about as much - this show is a winner for me. Not only does it touch on homophobia, closeted experiences but excellently includes social criticism. Ayan has to be one of my favourite characters. He is so well written and well rounded in his ideals and what he consumes shapes these beliefs. Akk's character is juxtaposed beautifully against Ayan; their ideologies, what they consume and how they are brought up shaping where they stand on maintaining or breaking law and order. Then we have Akk's breakthrough with an amazing character development as the plot progresses. I took the liberty to justify a lot of Akk's actions in idealising the school president club and built a whole character background for him based on the glimpses of hints we got throughout the show - do wish this was fully explored in the show itself but welp

ofc it's not all praises for the show cos so many things could have been done better. Akk and Ayan's first kiss almost made me drop the show with it's absurditiy and I did pause and roll my eyes at GMMTV for pulling their usual, unnecessary comedic inputs. did wish they could've dismanteled and talked more about homophbia in an all boys school, but the plot was being moved forward with a focus on tackling systematic oppression so I can overlook that.

oh and honorouable mention for first and khaotung with their chemistry ofc and acting oof
