Let's Talk BL

It started as a joke episode...and then y'all requested that we actually do it, so here we are! We're talking BL biases - how we found ours (or, in the case of Kad and Ayla, how they found us), what the concept of a bias actually means, and who makes the perfect bias (hint: it's Suar).   Who is your BL bias and did they find you, or did you find them?   The originator of the Captain of S...

We're finally talking one of the most anticipated series in our short BL history. The follow up to Until We Meet Again, Between Us promised to unbag (see what I did there?) the relationship between Win & Team, and boy...did it ever. In addition to getting way more WinTeam, we were introduced to Bee and Prince, the greenest flags of them all.  What's your must watch list?  Join the di...

We're chatting with two kids that are taking our world by storm - Gemini & Fourth. They're the stars of My School President (arguably the most wonderful surprise of 2023 so far), talented musicians, and just really, really fun people. We talk acting inspiration, love songs, soccer, and everything in between.   English & Thai subtitles are available on YouTube! Special thanks to Ascend...

We're finally talking about one of the best Taiwanese series to wrap recently! Everything about these relationships was the exact right amount of emotional without being too much, too soon and just enough sweetness to get invested without getting a cavity (see what we did there?). Oh, and somehow we dive into the world of Taiwanese ship work. It's a lot.   COME HANG WITH US AT HOUSTON'S FIRST...

The T-Pop fan experience is like none other and as soon as we dove into this world of boybands, girl bands, singers, bands, dancers, and everything that makes T-Pop, well...T-Pop, we knew we needed a little help. This week we're chatting with Belle, a Thai fan (and now friend!) that we met in Bangkok at an ATLAS event! She's giving us a rundown of the unique traditions in the T-Pop fandom and teac...

Probably our most polarizing Series Sunday to date (which may or may not be why we waited a year and a half to record it), there are a LOT of big feelings about this series. It's a love/hate kind of thing through and through, but let's be honest: we all hate Teh. We love character development & this episode is the epitome of talking through your feelings to arrive at a place of peace.   C...

In our (very) short time as BL fans, we've seen the fandom grow and change by leaps and bounds and in ways we've never seen before in other fandoms. We're talking about the fascinating changes we saw in 2022, and what we think we're going to see moving forward. All of our hopes and dreams for this community that we love so much!  What have your fan experiences been like this year?   The...

The show with enough emotion to take up our entire hearts has finally come to an end and it's definitely one to remember. We're diving into this 14 episode series that is somehow simultaneously heartbreaking and heart warming.

The BL world has changed a lot since we started our BL journey and it feels like 2022 was a whirlwind.

You asked for it, we realized you were totally right and we couldn't believe we didn't think of it first. We're running through Domundi's entire 2023 lineup - the good, the even better, and the potentially hilarious.

It's the last Series Sunday of 2022, so we thought we'd go big. War of Y gave us four big stories in one really, really big series.

We love the behind the scenes teams that make the wonderful world of BL beautiful, so when we had the chance to meet up with one of the top choreographers in the industry (seriously, he's worked with GMMTV, Gulf, War, SBFive, the list goes on and on) we jumped at it. Mix dishes on his journey to becoming a choreographer, his first and favorite projects, and his passions outside of dance.   An...

The sweetest little show that you might not have already seen, we're talking all things Meen & Ping, excellent dialogue, and the 1001 (amazing) tropes stuffed into 12 episodes that honestly felt way too short.

We are incredibly honored to sit down with Aof Noppharnach - known lovingly to the entire BL community as P'Aof - to talk about his career, some of his series that have made the most impact on us, and of course have a little fun.

We're getting ghosty this week with a series that Ayla has crowned the most well made supernatural BL to date (and that's high praise).

There are two sides to every series, and in this one, we got two love stories for the price of one! A series that divided Let's Talk BL in terms of pacing and storyline, but one where we can all agree that BossNoeul and FortPeat. That's it. Just BossNoeul and FortPeat.

The series that truly paved the way: we're talking The Moment I Need You & The Moment Since. Between the two, very short, very sweet seasons this series has EVERYTHING.
