I Am the Secret in Your Heart 夏日的檸檬草 (Chinese title translated directly as Lemongrass of Summer) is a Taiwanese movie which premiered in Taiwan on August 2, 2024. It is adapted from the popular Taiwanese webnovel of the same name by Maqiduo 瑪琪朵 which was first serialized in March 2012 and completed in November of that year. It was then published in book format in 2013. Seven more extra epilogue chapters were released online in December 2017.
Battle of the Writers รัก…ใต้บรรทัด is a 12-episode Thai BL series that premiered on July 29, 2024. It is adapted from the Chinese BL novel The Great Battle of Games 遊戲大作戰 written by Pingguo Shushushu (or Apple Treetreetree) 蘋果樹樹樹. Although most of the drama was filmed in Thailand, the period part of this drama was filmed at the Hengdian World Studios 橫店影視城 in China. I haven’t read the novel yet so don’t know if the drama is following the novel faithfully or not, however it is very odd to hear some Chinese dialogues in episode 1, LOL… So far no official OST has been released but the Chinese theme song from the Chinese audio drama from 2021 has been covered by the two leads recently at the launch on July 16, 2024… This Chinese version is used as the closing theme song…
4Minutes สี่นาที is an 8-episode Thai BL series which premiered on July 26, 2024. What is it with Thai BL nowadays? The trend is to release two versions of the drama, one cut and one uncut, which basically is a soft porn version to attract eyeballs! It is like announcing we don’t have enough good plotlines for the drama, let’s put in saucy scenes to make up for it, LOL… Here we now have a cut version airing on TV on One31 for 4Minutes and a sultrier version streaming only on Viu in Thailand.
