One of the most anticipated TV series for a lot of Chinese BL fans in 2021 is an upcoming series called Immortality 皓衣行. The TV series is based on the webnovel The Husky and His White Cat Shizun 二哈和他的白貓師尊 written by 肉包不吃肉 (Meat Bun Doesn’t Eat Meat). However the premiere date of the TV series has encountered some problems, as it was supposed to be one of the first TV series to air at the beginning of this year, then it was supposed to air at the beginning of April, then maybe mid April… Now there are rumours it may not air in April at all, so now it is just a guessing game and we will not know when it will premiere until it actually hits the TV screens!

Fish Upon the Sky ปลาบนฟ้า (Thai TV Series OST)
Fish Upon the Sky is another university themed BL series from Thailand that will premiere tonight, April 9, 2021. It is based on a novel written by JittiRain, who also wrote the novels that two other TV series were based on, 2gether and Theory of Love. I must be one of the very few who found it hard to finish watching 2gether, even though I did watch until the end but for the life of me, I cannot remember how that series ended now, LOL… I still haven’t watch Theory of Love, so I’m in two minds if I wanted to start watching this series at the moment, decision, decision, decision… GMM TV has already released the theme song, so I will leave the song here for now, maybe I will watch it once I finished with Word of Honor and also finished reading the epic BL novel, The Return of Cambrian Period 寒武再臨, which has taken me over two months now to read…

Random Ramblings on BL Novels – BL Novels by Priest
The Chinese “bromance” TV series, Word of Honor 山河令, which is currently being broadcast to the world on YouTube, is based on the BL novel, 天涯客 (Tianya Ke or Faraway Wanderers), written by an online novelist by the name of Priest. The TV series has been very well received, even getting a 8.6/10 ratings at Douban, and of course most of the BL fans would remember another TV series from 2018, Guardian 鎮魂 which was also based on a BL novel written by the same novelist. Therefore I thought maybe there are many viewers out there who would be interested in knowing some of the other BL novels written by this author.

Rattan (TV OST Songs) 電視劇《司藤》主題曲片尾曲插曲
Rattan 司藤 is another popular TV series on air at the moment. It premiered on March 8, 2021 and it is based on a novel with the same name with a supernatural, fantasy, time-travelling storyline which rather intrigues me, so I am going to put it on my future to-watch list for the moment. It has a 7.9/10 ratings at Douban from 107,128 viewers’ votes as of today, so at least it is not a rubbish series, LOL… I listened to the main theme song this morning and loved it. It is sung by Liu Yuning who has become an OST specialist as it seems he is singing at least one song in most recent TV series! I also checked out the other songs from the OST and they are not bad either… So here they are…

Killer and Healer (TV OST Songs) 電視劇《恨君不似江樓月》主題曲插曲
This is another Chinese bromance TV series that is currently airing which premiered on March 3, 2021. However this TV series is from an original screeplay, and story set in the 1930-40s, with the two protagonists being a policeman and a doctor… Now why do I get the déjà vu feeling, oh, of course, another current series called You are My Hero, which also features a police and a doctor, LOL…

A World Where Everything Definitely Becomes BL vs. The Man Who Definitely Doesn’t Want To Be In A BL (Japanese TV OST Songs) 日劇《絕對會變成BL的世界VS絕不想變成BL的男人》主題曲片尾曲
This is a new Japanese BL series that will premiere on March 27, 2021. What’s with the long titles from Japanese BL TV series, LOL… Last year we have the cute hit BL series with a long title name, Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard, this new series has an even longer name! Based on the manga 絶対BLになる世界VS絶対BLになりたくない男 (Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai VS Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko), this looks like it is going to be a comedy series, hopefully we can get English subtitles with the series. The theme song is Bubble Love sung by Da-iCE (pronounced as “dice”) which I think will be released on the same day as the premiere of the TV series. I will embed the MV of the song when it is available.

You Are My Hero (TV OST Songs) 電視劇《你是我的城池營壘》主題曲片尾曲插曲
This is a new 40-episode TV series that began airing on March 11, 2021. The TV series is based on the same-name novel by Mu Qing Yu 沐清雨. I only knew about this new series due to the closing theme song which appeared as a YouTube recommendation. I like the song, so I checked up on the series, and on Douban ratings, it is currently at 8.1/10 ratings after only a week from 42,496 viewers’ votes. It has been compared to the 2016 Korean drama Descendants of the Sun due to the two protagonists being a special forces personnel and a doctor.
