Reading the 188 series of BL novels at the moment and they are a torture to read but also very addicting, LOL… You just want to punch one of the main protagonists on the nose in the first half of the novels! I have read 2 of these novels in a row the past couple of weeks, currently reading another one, The Years of Intoxication 一醉經年. In the latter part of this novel, Song Juhan 宋居寒 sang a song he wrote to He Gu 何故 and at the same time came out of the closet in the final performance of his concert and, boy, it was a touching moment especially the speech he gave after he sang the song! The song, Ai He Gu 愛何辜 (translated as Is It a Crime to Love?) is actually a play of words to 愛何故 (Loving He Gu). The song actually exists! It is from the audio drama of the novel. I have also included two other songs from the audio drama…

Random Ramblings on BL Novels – The 188 Series 188男團系列耽美小説
Currently I am in the midst of reading the 188 series of BL novels by Shui Qian Cheng 水千丞. The first time I came across this author was after watching the 2017 bromance TV series, Beloved Enemy 決對爭鋒 at the beginning of this year, later I started to read the BL novel the TV series was adapted from, 針鋒對決. Of course at the time I did not realise it was part of the 188 series, but I did notice that Yuan Yang 原煬 was really a badass in the novel compared to his watered down behaviour in the TV series.

Random Ramblings on BL Dramas (Part 5) – Teasers & Trailers 2021
Part 4 is getting too long, so I’m moving all the trailers for BL dramas scheduled for 2021 into this post.
Update June 30, 2021: There will be no more updates of trailers in this post for new BL dramas premiering in the second half of 2021 because there are just too many BL series that I have trouble keeping up with. Instead I may do new posts occasionally for teasers or trailers of shows from July, 2021 onwards that look interesting.

The Light in the Night (Audio Drama Theme Songs) 廣播劇《默讀》主題曲
A few days ago, news came through that another Chinese BL novel by Priest (the same author who wrote “Guardian 鎮魂“) is being made into a 35-episode TV series, Light the Darkness (tentative English title), for 2021. The novel is Modu 默讀, and has been translated into English as The Light in the Night (original Chinese novel published from June 2016 until January 2017), but expect the TV series to be bromance and not BL since it is being made in China. Shooting of the series is scheduled to begin in February, 2021.

Wish You: Your Melody in My Heart 나의 마음속 너의 멜로디 (Korean Webdrama OST Songs)
Wish You: Your Melody in My Heart 나의 마음속 너의 멜로디 (祝願你：我心中你的旋律) is a new 8-episode BL drama from South Korea that has just premiered on December 4, 2020. Funny that, South Korean always makes short BL episodes with just about 10 minutes per episode… Below are two OST songs I have found from the series, but they are just audio versions at the moment…

Secret Love (“Manner of Death พฤติการณ์ที่ตาย” Theme Song) – Tul Pakorn ตุลย์ ภากร ธนศรีวนิชชัย
Manner of Death is a new Thai BL series that will start November 30, 2020. Finally a Thai BL drama series that is not centred around University! I have been looking forwards to this new series which will reunite Max Nattapol and Tul Pakorn, who both starred in the 2017’s BL series Together with Me. The theme song to Manner of Death is called Secret Love and it is sung by Tul Pakorn.

Let Love Appear ให้รักปรากฏตัว (“He’s Coming to Me เขามาเชงเม้งข้างๆหลุมผมครับ” Theme Song) – Boy Trai บอย ตรัย ภูมิรัตน
Wow, GMMTV has finally uploaded all episodes of the 2019’s Thai BL drama series, He’s Coming to Me เขามาเชงเม้งข้างๆหลุมผมครับ (清明時節愛上我), onto YouTube today! What a pleasant surprise, and thank you, thank you, thank you… I watched the series on facebook earlier this year since there were no official episodes online and I had to find each episode one-by-one which was very annoying. Now they are all here on GMMTV official YouTube channel, so happy, as I want to watch the series again in the future once the current rush of numerous new BL dramas finish their runs! Anyway here is the theme song from the series, Let Love Appear (also translated as Make Love Appear) and I have also included a cover version sung by one of the lead actors in the drama, Singto Prachaya…

Not a Day Goes By That I Don’t Love You ไม่มีวันไหนไม่รัก (“Tonhon Chonlatee ต้นหนชลธี” Theme Song) – Ice Sarunyu ไอซ์ ศรัณยู วินัยพานิช
Tonhon Chonlatee (心之航向／愛之航向) is another Thai BL drama that started airing yesterday. I just watched part 1 of episode one and I am already RFLMAO with the opening scenes and the 9th hole, and it is not golf! I think I am going to like this drama if it is going to be that funny all through the series… The good Thai BL dramas are starting to appear all at once now in the past month, after I Told Sunset About You, and TharnType 2, LOL… This is the theme song, Not a Day Goes By That I Don’t Love You ไม่มีวันไหนไม่รัก sung by Ice Sarunyu.
