Hello! Do you track actors who switch from Seme to Uke roles in different series, or vice versa? If so, question: In Chains of Heart (which I can't believe I was able to get through), Haii plays Ken, who I'm assuming is the Uke. He was a (tsundere?) Seme in TharnType 2, no? And his partner on screen there, Title, wasn't he just playing a Seme as Ana's ex in Future, different from his childlike Uke in TharnType2? Did they both switch roles in different series or did I just get that all wrong (very possible). How common is this besides the guy from Advance Bravely?
Actors who have played both seme & uke in BL?
I don't really track it but I do find it unique and interesting. Lemme scrape the brain meats.
You are right they are really rare but Thailand is making inroads as they move off of an obsession with height discrepancy, so there are more than you think.
This is what I got off the top of my head:
Gong Jun - Advance Bravely (U) & Word of Honor (S)
Ba Vinh - Love Bill (U) & Mr Cinderella (U?) vs every other of his 1000 series (S) - thanks @squeakygeeky
Tay Tawan - Dark Blue Kiss (S) & 3 Will Be Free (U)
Haii Sarunsathorn - TharnType 2 (S) & Chains of Heart (U)
Title Tanatorn - TharnType 2 (U) & Future (S)
Marc Pahun - My Gear and Your Gown (S) & Chains of Heart (U), also played a BL side role in 3 BLs airing at the same time.
White Nawat - Love Sick (S) & Theory of Love (U)
Nammon Krittanai - SOTUS S (U) & Work From Heart (S)
Singto Prachaya - SOTUS (S) & Paint with Love (U)
Yacht Patsit - Between Us (S) & Paint with Love (U)
Mark Siwat - Love By Chance (S) & Bite Me (U)
Fiat Patchata - SOTUS S (U) & My Gear and Your Gown (S)
Han Gi Chan - Where Your Eyes Linger (U) & Ocean Likes Me (S)
Haii & Title are the only ones I know of who are a pair both of whom also played opposite archetypes.
Aun Napat shifts from seme to uke in the course of My Gear and Your Gown. Arguably.
First Kanaphan - depends how you look at Not Me and Shipper
Fluke Gawin - depends on how you look at Not Me and Dark Blue Kiss
Khaotung Thanawat - Tonhon Chonlatee (U) & The Eclipse (S, but it's not really a S/u show)
Max Nattapol (YES of MaxTul) - Bangkok Love Stories 2: Innocence (U... maybe?) & Manner of Death (S)
Ja Phachara - UWMA (U, but it's unclear) & Don't Say No (S)
similarly, Na Naphat - UWMA (S, but unclear) & KinnPorsche (U) & forthcoming BL Wish Me Luck (S)
In that one Na will be opposite Fiat (above), at which point they will be part of the elite club of pair switches with Haii & Title.
I honestly can't remember which role Phuwin played opposite Neo in My Tee, and I'm NOT rewatching it to remind myself.
If anyone has any more to rec please do. I know I am missing some more obscure ones.
Oh right and this man, of course.
All hail the king. (Bah Vinh has been in like every Vietnamese BL, including one where he played a straight guy side.) He usually plays the seme roles but in Mr Cinderella he was not quite.
