Can't decide if you want to read a sweet MM roommate romance or a thriller with a vengeful villain you love to hate? Can't decide if you want to read campy queer fiction full of fun geeky references or an angsty exploration of trauma and mental illness?

HAVE I GOT THE BOOKS FOR YOU!

Possibly also a concussion.

Okay - that was one EPIC - trip and fall on each-other and accidentally kiss.

I think in real life this would end in several serious hematomas.

So, we got one guy who thinks he's straight and a guy who is a man whose had a past life as a woman who is bisexual.

Actor: *does the thing*

Director: more.

Actor: *does the thing more*

Director: more.

Actor: Seriously?

Director: more.

Okay - however ordinary the production value is - and however a bit ridiculous the premise is - and however much the writing is okay - these actors are *really committed* - like, holy shit.

I think I need to hand it to the director - getting these performances out of these folks. DRAMA!

Chinese magic - because, of course.

Now, we got the premise going...

mamelby @mamelby.bsky.social · 9h

OOP - Got my $5!!!

mamelby @mamelby.bsky.social · 9h

Oh no - the rich Thai girl is in love with the Chinese immigrant - here comes the racism.

I lost my $5 - but there was BLOOD!

I mean, I was almost right.

Soap Opera - smooth jazz - pictures of the characters with their names - cute scenes - fade-transitions - super chill -

$5 says the actual show starts with a grizzly murder.

mamelby @mamelby.bsky.social · 10h

I'm being bad.

Thai, 2025, 10 ep of about an hour, TV-MA, iQIYI

This is a great show. It's very complicated and deep and worth the watch.

mamelby @mamelby.bsky.social · 11h

But yes, watch the special episode - it is actually a continuation of the story.

mamelby @mamelby.bsky.social · 11h

Pretty much - but not so cryptic - pretty obvious.

mamelby @mamelby.bsky.social · 11h

Five-minute special episode...

FIVE MINUTES.

It's going to be a cryptic riddle - I know it!!!!

mamelby @mamelby.bsky.social · 11h

😭

THE END.

mamelby @mamelby.bsky.social · 12h

LAST EPISODE.

If this ends in some sort of cryptic riddle I'm going to LOSE IT.

mamelby @mamelby.bsky.social · 13h

Wait - um - aren't you killing all the people that um....oh ffs.

mamelby @mamelby.bsky.social · 13h

Two episodes left! Getting ready for the final epic battle!

mamelby @mamelby.bsky.social · 14h

LMAO - One of our heroes runs up to someone in a hood - we can't see the person's face - and then the person takes down their hood - but we are seeing the back of their head all blurry because the camera is focused on our hero's face - he looks SUPER SURPRISED!

*cue outro*
