Shows we watch for characters and for actors?
I’ve nobody to talk about this IRL so I’m gonna rant here. Recently I’ve been getting back to watching BLs again and catching up on my watchlist.
Watched Sammy’s Children’s Day and GODDAMN!!!!! I’m in love with everything about that show. So much in love that I’m devouring all the xizhao content in YouTube shorts. So much in love that I rewatched it the second time instantly. The plot, the characters, the pace, the cinematography, the tension, the world building, the story, everything was amazing. I’m in love if it wasn’t clear.
Right after, I watched Never Let Me Go bcz I absolutely love Pondphuwin and haven’t gotten around to watching NLMG yet. And honestly, I’m disappointed. I didn’t hate it. It was actually really nice. But would I have watched and most importantly finished it if it wasn’t starring pondphuwin? I don’t think so.
It made me wonder how many shows do we watch bcz the story is so compelling that we forget a world exists outside. And how many shows we watch bcz it has a cp we love. We aren’t here for the story, we’re here just for the real people we love, the actors.
My entry to BL world happened through Kinnporsche and I love that show to pieces. For the story and not the actors. Though rewatching it is hard bcz I love vegaspete story line and hate build so much.
Next on the list is Revenged Love. I need me some Chinese BL. They know what they’re doing.
PS- someone please hmu when Sammy’s Children’s Day novel is translated in English by Rosmei. I GOTS TO KNOW THE STORY!!!!!!!!

Duang with you
For someone who doesn't really like cheesy highschool romancE BLS, I have come to say Duang with you is an ABSOLUTE FAVORITE OF MINE THIS YEAR. I don't know why but I am so mesmerized by Duang and Qin! Qin is SOOOOO cute and Duang is soooo annoying yet so adorable.
I don't care if Duang is over the top (probably because I can relate to him in some way. I'm annoying clingy if you let me). And I am facsinated with how mysterious and angsty Qin is (he kinda acts like my ex).
IM LATE BUT I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT I DON'T CARE WHAT YALL SAY

This show is one of my favorite BL of all time. It's so cute and funny. Even with the forbidden age gap, I think it works well. I love their dynamic and how ridiculously jealous shin gets 😂
The big question is, will we ever get a SEASON 3??

Please support the Chinese BL "Journey With You" (与君同). The actors were literally crying on a live stream. 😭
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYiXxRyocmO/?igsh=YzEwdnZzZ3l4M3Vj
I am making this post to hopefully convince you to check out this show.
Earlier this morning, I saw a subbed video fragment on Instagram from a live stream where the actors of Journey With You, Wang Jinghan and Tang Bide, were literally crying on the screen. You can watch the clip on Instagram here or on X here. It is just so heartbreaking to see how stressed they are about the low views. And Wang Jinghan said Jinghan said that he is sad, thinking that if someone else had played the role instead of him back then, maybe it would have been better. 😭
I can say after 3 episodes that Wang Jinghan is absolutely doing a wonderful job and that he is not to blame, because he is not the issue.
Right now, there is a massive surge of other Chinese BL dramas that are coming out via the international loophole, it is just a lot. And for viewers, also me, it is hard to keep up with all of that.
Smaller indie shows like Journey With You are getting completely snowed under. It’s not just that people prefer modern dramas over historical ones right now, because high-budget historical shows like Pursuit of Jade are actually super popular. I think that the main reason, correct me if I am wrong, is that with this surge of shows, most attention is towards the bigger budget productions.
For example, Double Helix released at the exact same time this and it got a lot of attention and has a Singaporean co-production budget, it is based on a famous web novel and it stars Ayden Sng, so it already had a big fanbase before it even started. Then you also have modern shows like The Gaze airing right now, which is maybe easier to follow.
I actually discussed this with u/Federal-Ad5944 on the r/ChineseBL sub, who summed up the current situation perfectly.
>To me, its the best CBL on right now. I really wish the show was getting more love, but in this saturated market its very hard. It's not even isolated to reddit, it's not really picking up on socials in general, even Chinese ones. It's getting lost in the shuffle everywhere and it's really hard.
Even though these actors are actively promoting on Weibo and the show is technically marked as an "overseas drama" to bypass domestic bans, they still rely on international platforms like GagaOOLala to get traction. If you look at their Instagram accounts, their follower counts are still low, so they really aren't getting the international push they need.
If the views don't hit the targets, it directly hurts their future career and they can get a hard time to be casted again. They put their hearts into this, and seeing them cry because their show is not picking up by now is sad.
Until now, the show is honestly so good. And it is also a bit spicy we are just 3 episodes in and we have already seen the villain prince in two NC scenes. You can see this edit on Instagram or on Reddit to see what I mean with the spice.
I know that the first episode is a bit complicated to follow, I had to rewind it some times. There are intrigues, court politics, and palace secrets, so it may be a bit difficult to see who is who and what is happening in the beginning.
But let me explain the context so you don't drop it, basically the Fifth Prince (Yin Qi) gets betrayed and killed in a coup by his own family. But then he wakes up three years earlier in the past. So it is a rebirth or time travel story. He tries to change his death and what happened in the future. In that first timeline where Yun Qi gets killed together with his closest childhood friend Pei Yanzhi, Yun Qi at that moment he thought that Pei Yanzhi had betrayed him. Which is not true, it was a brother of Yun Qi, I call him the villain prince (Yin Zhou) who framed Pei Yanzhi with the help of a false letter to make it look like Pei Yanzhi helped his own country to stage a coup.
Pei Yanzhi grew up together with Yin Qi, but he is a prince who was sent by a rival country to the imperial court as a political hostage. This was done as collateral to guarantee peace between the two empires. A hostage prince like him grew up inside the palace, but constantly spied on because is seen as a potential enemy or spy. In reality, Pei Yanzhi cares so deeply for Yin Qi and is trying to do his best to protect him, in secret, with his own secret political networks because of his hostage situation.
It seems that the video gained some attention and on X.
And yes, I made this post because of the Instagram post I saw. But this show really deserves to be watched. It is honestly very good!
The following video was posted by u/Federal-Ad5944. A Jinghan weibo update "thank you for choosing me" 🥹 ♥️ (Tang Bide's reply in the comments). Probably as a reaction to the live stream.

Please go watch it on GagaOOLala, it releases every Friday. You can also check out the On-Air Discussion Thread to see what others are saying about the latest episodes and all relevant links and information.
The actors and the production studio have not much followers on Instagram. And their budget for promotion is very limited.
You can follow them for support.

[🇹🇭Thai] When Oranges Fall 🍊 EP 2
Ko was a boy who adored oranges more than anything in the world—but not just any oranges. They had to be from the tree next door. No other oranges tasted so good or made him as happy. Fragrant, sweet, delicious—everything about those homegrown oranges, Ko loved completely.
Except for one thing: the orange tree's true owner. That boy, the one with the cool name jut the same as Ko’s. Everyone called him “Ko Two,” as was customary when two people shared the same name. And so, Ko naturally became “Ko One.” But the similarity ended with their names. Their personalities were complete opposites—as if heaven had sent a masterful celestial being to punish a mischievous little orange demon.
As the story of the two Kos unfolded, they grew—both in body and in the feelings quietly forming in their hearts.

Goddess Bless You From Death deserves way more hype
I genuinely think Goddess Bless You From Death is one of the most underrated BLs I’ve watched in a long time.
What I absolutely loved about it is that it doesn’t rely on unnecessary relationship drama to keep the story moving. The romance exists, and it’s genuinely adorable, but the show is so much more focused on the actual plot - the investigations, the paranormal angle, the pressure of handling high-level cases, internal government department politics, ego clashes between superiors, and the psychological weight the characters carry.
It feels much darker and more thriller/paranormal than a typical BL and honestly? Even if you aren’t a regular BL watcher, there’s a high chance you’d still enjoy it purely for the story.
PoohPavel did such a wonderful job too. Pooh’s character, Thup, has one of my favourite character developments in recent dramas. He starts off extremely anxious, fearful, and uncertain, but slowly learns to trust both his instincts and the people around him. You can literally see him becoming more courageous with every episode.
And Pavel as Singha was SO good. He begins as this cold, emotionally distant person, but over time we see him slowly soften, trust his emotions more, and develop genuine belief in both people and connection.
Also, the second lead couple?? Surprisingly solid. They never felt like filler characters. They have their own solid story and character development. Could actually watch a separate spin off show on them.
Overall, if you want:
- paranormal mystery
- thriller/investigation vibes
- government conflict & political tension
- character development
- subtle but very lovable romance
- and minimal unnecessary relationship drama
please give this drama a chance.
I absolutely loved it.
