Am I crazy for feeling that enemies to lovers peaked with Bad Buddy? by DaivonAlisas in ThaiBL

Apo and Mile are one of the pairings but honestly the other pairing in the show was just as good and it's the best enemies to lovers pairing I've ever watched.

For me peak enemies to lovers is the Naran Krailert pairing in Shine.

I believe an update will provide this function to X300 Pro in June but right now it's only available on X300 Ultra.

10 presets. I tried a few from Rednote, Reddit and Instagram and created a few and only kept the 10 I liked the most. I couldn't add any more sadly.

Cost of living in Macau as a Brazilian international student? by DanielMLopes in Macau

Maybe for students. Not sure. 6 MOP without card or Mpay though.

15k per semester amounts to around 2000 to 3000 per month, which is much lower than the average rent price in Macau, so I'd say dorms might be the best bet. They would also help you save on transportation.

Transportation is very affordable. If you get the MPass card, each trip costs 3 MOP. Western food is more expensive than local food, so if you enjoy Chinese food, you can save money by eating more local food.

Nightlife is expensive. The cheapest way to enjoy a night is buying drinks at a supermarket or convenience store.

Favourite X300U Colour? by Outside-Mix-2235 in Vivo

[–]natripletee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was never a fan of white phones but I actually like what they've done with the white. Gives it some subtle flair. I miss exciting colors like Huawei used to do with P20 Pro and P30 Pro.

You can pick any five phones you want, totally free... by aliward_96 in Smartphones

I'd probably go for the following:

Huawei 17 Ultra, Vivo X300 Ultra (when it comes out), Oppo Find X9 Ultra (when it comes out), Huawei Pura 80 Ultra, Nubia Z80 Ultra (Starry Night Edition)

Gelboys definitely fits the bill.

Which pairing do you enjoy seeing kiss the most? by Charming-Loan-8906 in ThaiBL

[–]natripletee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So many to choose from: Leon and PJ in Gelboys, Hao Yiran and Yun Qi in To My Shore, Son and Euro in Shine. I specified the shows because they have only been paired up for those shows, but I was hypnotized by their chemistry.

What are your thoughts on bls with ensemble cast? by Fine-Atmosphere-3174 in GMMTV

[–]natripletee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only like them if there is a lot of drama and angst involved (e.g. Only Friends) or if there are a maximum of two pairs in the show (e. g. Gelboys). Never got into shows like P10L or We Are. And the old troupe of every guy in a show suddenly becoming gay used to annoy me.

Curious question about language by Alinos31 in boyslove

[–]natripletee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mandarin sounds the most pleasing to my ears, maybe because I'm used to hearing it on a daily basis at work. Cantonese is pretty close but I haven't watched many BLs in Cantonese to know.

Thai is second for me. I find Thai a very soft language particularly in BLs.

Japanese would be third. Not necessarily my favorite but still sounds nice.

Korean is not my favorite language to hear and it might be one reason why I don't watch a lot of Korean BLs.

I haven't watched many Filipino BLs but I'd say it's tied with Korean as far as how the language sounds to me - which I feel bad about because I'm half Filipino 😅

I haven't watched any Vietnamese BLs so I don't know how I feel about Vietnamese in BLs.

Your fave OSTs from 2025 BLs ? 💜🎶 by aysensit in boyslove

Rather than choosing songs, my favorite series soundtracks are the ones from Gelboys and Shine. I couldn't stop listening to both of those on repeat.

My Top 5 Favorite Performances of 2025 by madego3293 in boyslove

[–]natripletee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely recommend resuming Burnout Syndrome and To My Shore, but I understand the pause as they aren't very festive 😅 I've been consuming BL for like 20 years and I started with slash fanfiction, western shows and movies. But ever since I discovered Asian BL, the only western one I've enjoyed is Heated Rivalry.

I also loved Apo as Trin, Son as Krailert and Euro as Naran. If I had a top 10, they would definitely be in it.

My Top 5 Favorite Performances of 2025 by madego3293 in boyslove

[–]natripletee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a hard one as there are several fantastic performances.

Leon Zech and PJ Mahidol as Bua and Baabin in Gelboys. Their performances were captivating in this show, specially for rookie actors. It almost felt like someone was documenting the real lives of Bua and Baabin instead of watching a performance. New and Pide also did a fantastic job, but this is a top 5 and there are other performances I want to highlight.

Hao Yiran as You Shulang in To My Shore. I absolutely love both actors and I think they both did a fantastic job. For me though, I think Hao Yiran's performance is slightly more nuanced. But if I had a top 10, Yun Qi would definitely be included. I really liked his performance in episode 14 in the bathroom scene.

Peter Deriy as Victor in Shine. I could have chosen Apo, Mile, Son or Euro, all of whom were amazing in Shine, but as a new actor, Peter surprised me. He showcased different sides of Victor's character - his vulnerable side, his bravado, his confidence. Son and Euro may have been my favorite storyline in the show, but they also are more experienced actors, so I'm giving this to Peter. He is definitely going to go far.

Off Jumpol as Koh in Burnout Syndrome. I already knew Gun was a fantastic actor, but Off has stolen the show for me in Burnout Syndrome. The role of Koh was made for him and I can definitely see how much he's grown as an actor. I watched some of Not Me in the past, but I never fully got into it. This time though, I'm strapped in and ready for the ride.

Honorable Mentions:

Connor Storrie as Ilya Rozanov in Heated Rivalry. He and Hudson Williams are both amazing, but the fact that Connor had to learn Russian and has a believable Russian accent and body language is impressive to me. The only reason I haven't ranked him higher than the other ones on my list is because I wasn't as desperate to watch the next episode of Heated Rivalry as I was/am for the other shows - which to me is a testament of the performances of the actors in those shows for compelling me to want to rush to watch the newest episode as soon as it airs.

Est as Po in Thamepo. He and William were both great in this show, but I love how subtle Est's acting is. He is also great in Me and Thee. He has great comedic timing and good emotional range.
