When there was an announcement earlier this year on the remake of my one of my favourite Taiwanese Drama, Fated to Love You, I was very surprised and yet looking eagerly towards airing of the drama.
Pawut was planning to propose to Kaekai (staring Weckx Lanlalin), his ballerina girlfriend whom eventually decided not to board the cruise when she won the opportunity to fulfil her dream of being the main ballerina. While Wanida (fondly known as Nid) was planning to lose her virginity to her useless boyfriend, Thonwat (staring Mcfadden Kitkasem) during the cruise trip that she partially won and partially paid for.
I like the following part of the drama where Pawut admitted that he was the father that Wanida refused to revealed initially. He even protected her from the canning by pushing her behind him when she tried to come forward to protect her.
I felt that Pawut from the earlier part of the drama had realised that he cared and love Wanida while trying hard to let go Kaekai. He felt guilty towards Kaekai but loved Wanida. He made the decision very quickly to let go Kaekai, while wanting to keep Wanida by his side as his wife not because of responsibility but because he realised her importance in his life. He took care of Kaekai when she needed the support but never once waiver from the decision of wanting to let her go.
There were many sweet moments where one could feel and see the genuine love that Pawut has for Wanida. When he discover that he has the ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a progressive neurode generative disease that will affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord leading to death, with a broken heart, he broke up with Wanida. This eventually lead to her getting involve in an accident that resulted in the lost of the baby. The tears as both of them broke into separately were indeed heart-breaking to watch.
Wanida eventually left for France to get over her broken heart with Taya Rogers (staring Treporapat), a friend whom started of mistakenly as the Pastor of the church that Wanida went to do confession upon discovering her pregnancy.
Wanida eventually returned to Thailand 3 years later as a popular Thailand artist. Taya loved Wanida and eventually proposed to her in the most romantic way one could think of. In the car while being stuck in the traffic, he proposed to Wanida with the proposal on the electronic billboard while Pawut whom was following them, watched with his heart breaking even more.
Taya although was heart-broken with the refusal from Wanida to his proposal and when she decided to stay behind for Pawut, hide his sorrow from her. His tears was so heart-jerking. He may not be such a popular actor yet, however, I must comment that he is pretty good.
Kaekai unlike in the Taiwanese and Korean version, never approached Wanida to try to get her to abort the baby nor she tried to talked Wanida out. She met up with Wanida to try to understand what was happening. And the most touching part was when she walked up to Wanida to give her a hug when Pawut was in the hospital.
Touching moment when Pawut was in coma and Wanida, speaking to the picture that she drawn in memory of her lost child, asking him to bring the father back to her. Pawut dreamt of the boy asking him to go back to the mother. And he woke up after that, and immediately shared with Wanida on his dreamt. I personally felt that this was a lovely touch to the drama and the reunion of the loving OTP.
Granny Patchanee (staring Toongkamanee Duangta) although was cool and stern without much smile on her face, she is a loving grandmother. Toongkamanee Duangta is truly a talented actress.
hei Carmen, I am not sure as I watched it from the paid cable application. It is only applicable to the country where I reside I think as recently when I was travelling, I was not able to watch anything. You can however, try to see if it is available on Youtube.
When it comes to the Boys Love genre, Thailand has dominated the market with their large number of Thai BL dramas. Few countries have embraced BL with as much enthusiasm as Thailand and its popularity has spread worldwide. Some of the best Thai BL dramas are really successful, and many of the actors have very popular followings that are still active today.
If you are a BL fan, you gotta watch a couple of Thai BL series just to experience what the fandom is like. The fans are friendly, invigorated, and they genuinely love BL so much. From an anthropological perspective, these Thai BL dramas created a really amazing cultural phenomenon that I don't think any other TV genre has achieved.
Since there are so many BL dramas produced in Thailand every year, you have a great collection of series to sink your teeth into. Thai BL series tend to have long episodes and enormous casts, so the quantity of content is substantially more than any other country. The toughest part may be catching up with all the new dramas and series that are coming out in rapid fire, but that's not a big problem for the most passionate BL fans!
Check out the list of Thai BL series and dramas from Thailand made over the years! Read the reviews of each drama for comprehensive information about the plot, cast, and episode guides.
Beside You is a Thai fantasy BL series about two boyfriends and their cat. The main character lives with his partner and enjoys domestic bliss. They raise a pampered pet, which demands constant attention. Lately, the couple has drifted apart and isn't as physically intimate as before. The protagonist seems more preoccupied with looking after the feline than paying attention to his relationship. His boyfriend feels agitated by the neglect.
Although the story may be dumb and absurd, Beside You amuses me with its silly scenarios. I like the creativity and quirkiness, especially after the fantasy twist at the end of the first episode. However, the writing is too basic and lacks maturity. The series also has an annoying amount of product placements. Most of all, I'm not on board with the couple's romance. A love triangle with a cat is difficult to take seriously.
The Outing is a Thai series about the toxic relationship drama during a company retreat. There's a BL subplot for one of the couples. The main characters are three business executives who take their families and employees on a trip to a resort. Although it's supposed to be a relaxing occasion, secret love affairs and scandalous revelations threaten to tear apart the group. Their friendships, romances, and careers are in jeopardy.
Despite the polished production and attractive cast, The Outing is tedious from start to finish. I'm bored by the sleazy storylines, immoral characters, and dysfunctional romances. The series is obsessed with infidelity, which dominates most of the plot. Everyone cheats on each other in a convoluted web of illicit love. While there's a BL couple, they have an unhealthy relationship. It isn't worth enduring the obnoxious drama for their minor subplot.
2BB is a short Thai BL series about the relationship between a room organizer and his client. The main character offers professional decluttering services for a living. A homeowner recently hired him to tidy up his messy apartment. However, they quickly clash upon their first meeting. The protagonist becomes upset in the heat of the moment and breaks a prized possession. He feels remorseful afterwards and wants to make amends.
Despite my low expectations, 2BB is surprisingly charming for a twenty-minute series. I appreciate the playful interactions and lighthearted moments between the leads. However, there's too little romantic content. This flimsy drama barely classifies as BL. Also, the silly story isn't sophisticated enough. It needs more substantial content, lengthier episodes, and a conclusive ending to explore the untapped potential.
