Boys Love Series
-
@nix54 Now, in regards to PP Krit. I got the !!WTF!! look on my face when I first saw his MV of "I'll Do It How You Like It". I think this would be the first MV with his new look on how he will be marketing himself moving forward now that they already have the knowledge that Nadao Bangkok / Nadao Music will be closing doors months before it did. Nadao Bangkok was partly owned by GMM25 and I Told Sunset About You and I Promised You The Moon was financed by Line TV which is based from Japan. Later on Line TV Thailand closed its production studio and just remained as a streaming app keeping all of Line TVs titles especially all of its Boys Love titles alive. I really do not know why I Told Sunset About You took more than a year or so to get in to Netflix considering it's the best there is and it's high production values. Each of its 5 episodes is already much like a mini movie. Maybe they had to wait for all other contracts with smaller streaming sites to expire. It's still the gold standard for Boys Love.
This was that video.
Youtube VideoThank you though for telling me about his newer MVs now that I found out that he has his own YouTube channel. I am happy though that Nadao Music gave all the rights to their own songs for all Nadao Music's artists.
I am more of a fan of Billkin and his voice most especially his own version of I Told Sunset About You's main music theme - "Skyline". The one played on the series is a Chinese version sang by someone else. I actually like most of ITSAY's songs. ITSAY will never be ITSAY without it's music, just like when you watch the latest DUNE movie it wouldn't be the same without it's unique music.
This got 61M views to this point and now I see that Billkin has his own YouTube channel. I wouldn't know about these if not for you. Ehe.
I have this notion of disappointment to myself because I kept ignoring ITSAY the first year it came out because no one in the cast was handsome enough to catch my eye. Boy, was I so wrong!
By the way, it was a Chinese Boys Love series that got me into BL - Addicted (Heroin Series). It's too bad that their government interfered with the continuation of its production and banned the actors from seeing each other physically. Broke my heart when I saw those handsome faces crying.
Anyways, my favorite cutie from Nadao Music is Ice Paris. He did star in Great Men Academy and Bad Genius.
He's such a cry baby. He cried when he was overwhelmed with pressure and joy after a concert with Billkin x PP Kritt and other Nadao Music talents.
This is probably my favourite live concert of them three where songs of Ice Paris were mixed together with songs from ITSAY and IPYTM.
ICE PARIS x BILLKIN x PPKRIT - CentralWorldBangkokCountDown 2022
Gosh I became talkative again. LOL!
OH WTF! There's a 2023 CentralWord Bangkok Countdown Concert featuring them again. It seems to feature their newer songs though which aren't much to my liking and Ice Paris is missing.
Lastly here's my other favourite done during the very last Line TV Awards 2021, Too bad we don't get to see that cutey anymore on the right who tried to take PPKrit from Billkin in the series.

@Rotron
I am glad you had the 'WTF' moment too. I was quite shocked when I saw the music vids (1) because I never rated either Billkin or PP as being particularly handsome or pretty in ITSAY and (2) because it was (to me) a total change in image. That red pseudo bondage outfit in particular sends so many different messages. The other interesting image change is with Billkin - the change of haircut makes a big difference and his face really lights up when he does his goofy puppy dog smile.
Thanks for the big pics. I confess I had already watched a number of the associated vids on YouTube - including the birthday cake scene - almost straight out of an early episode of War of Y! Yes, I do prefer Billkin's voice but more than happy to find that they are both talented as singers and performers.How their lives must have changed after ITSAY was released. I am not sure how the reaction was in Thailand but I think in the wider BL world it was quite a slow start to the big burn. By the end of the series we were really going for them but, for me, up until the last few episodes their characters were just irritating me. By the end I was desperate for the sequel. Thinking about it now I had much the same reaction in the middle of IPYTM and I was aching for a happy end - on the beach.I just found out before Christmas that an old colleague and friend of mine (who I haven't been in touch with for many many years) works for the ADB and lives on a farm in the Phillipines.
Have a good week.

@Rotron Wait a sec...what's this about Addicted Heroine actors being banned, and production being interfered with by government? That's a series I haven't gotten to yet, but wanted to watch. That breaks my heart, but want to know more details about what happened.
Also I haven't seen I Told Sunset About You or the Promised The Moon series either. You highly recommend those?
-
@nix54 My office is near the ADB too. If your friend is an expat here and owns land, that's great. The local living expense is quite low that one would be rich by by just receiving a standard U.S. monthly pension.
I was actually gunning for the guy that Billkin had a kissed with in IPYTM. He's quite handsome.
You have a nice week too.

@spence8585 Addicted (Heroin Series) is a Boys Love web series from Mainland China. It was also the very last true Boys Love series that got released from that country. It was banned. Homosexuality is illegal by that country's laws. The main 2 actors were banned by their government to communicate with each other nor be seen together. There was an event or a concert were both of them were present but they can not be on stage together at the same time. I can't seem to find the video on YouTube anymore.
Here's the shortest video I could find that provides some insight to what happened and yes, the BL series shot them to stardom. The series is available here for download. I was able to finish season 2 from a translated read available online. Timmy Xu heartbreakingly is now married to the dismay of fans.
You have to watch I Told Sunset About You.

This series won many awards and still no Boys Love series would compare to it. Prepare yourself for the drama.
Yes, this is highly recommended.
-
@Rotron Thank you! I will watch I Told Sunset and the other 2 related, in order. I just realized the version I already had only supplied Portuguese subtitles so I appreciate the re-upload!
-
@spence8585 Enjoy. The large files are worth it. A lot of Boys Love fans are looking for these higher resolution versions but can't jut tell them to get over here for security purposes.

Nakhun is an unsuperstitious twenty-year-old student. One day, fate plays a trick on him and he winds up travelling back nearly four hundred years to the Ayutthaya Kingdom. He's mistaken for someone who had gone missing, so Nakhun assumes the identity of Klao and tries to work out the mystery of his disappearance while searching for a way back to his time period.
Klao's friend Phop doesn't believe that Nakhun is the younger brother he knew and keeps an eye trained on him.

@Rotron said in Boys Love Series:
You just made my day. Thank you!
Babeeeeeeee!
Thank you for continuing to upload these. I really appreciate it, and I try to 5-star as many as I possibly can to offset/upset the one-star bandito.
I ended up liking Gameboys far more than I thought I might, it was really touching in the end, if we ignore the bit with the weird plastic hugging/kissing contraption that had me slightly terrified and hooting with laughter.
-
@frogprons You are most welcome. I can not think of another show which had the word "baby" used too that extent in their dialogue / script.
Gameboys had a unique setup which the pandemic brought that a lot of shows especially from Thailand at that time refused to acknowledge or integrate. I am happy that you enjoyed it. The genre is picking up track and as you can see there are a lot of upcoming titles already announced and that is just at the first quarter of this year. Hoping that there would be more coming from the Western side and help this sub-category get the attention it deserve and be available primetime in more households and eventually help us be more accepted and understood.

Upcoming series: Tin Tem Jai
Tin has always been secretly in love with Phi Park, Aunt Phavinee's son, who owns a neighbourhood bakery. Park's a simple guy that you can ask whatever you want. But when he's asked out on a date... The answer is, “I'm going to kick you!”
-
I know that I have not been too much a fan of Filipino BLs but there are some that I really like.
Hello Stranger. The series is available here in the TV section and part 2 is a movie in the movie section which I have not watched yet.
There is also In Between (Between Hello and Goodbye) (2020), which is not available here yet. A sequel has been announced but there has been no updates for quite some time.
Oh, Mando! Kokoy from Gameboys is partnered with a macho guy who is gay and out in real life.
There's this gorgeous naked guy there which I still can't find who the actor is. Let me know if you do.
Ben x Jim and BXJ Forever.
My Day (2020) has my favourite couple and has the best kiss for me in a Boys Love series. Miko here has a jack-off video. Hehe.
Gaya sa Pelikula (2020) (Like In The Movies)

@spence8585 @nix54 I just completed Prison Playbook a while ago. Damn those comedic moments were hilarious. The rectal camera scene on the first episode got my first LOLs. All the prison guards wanted to see a baseball superstar's anus. I enjoyed the series. I just didn't like what they did to Looney when he got out of prison; he was immediately a victim of a bust operation and it's just right out of prison? I think that was a weak point in the whole series but I was happy that Jailbird had a happy ending. The Demon Captain is a crush of mine. He was actually asked by media in a live interview if he is gay. The bromance scenes in this series were so intentional, I like it. Thank you so much for this. I enjoyed the series.

@nix54 By the way... I just saw this posted.
