1. A Couple that Should’ve/Could’ve Been

The only ones I can think of are Arun and Tattoo from Jack and Joker. They teased it so much and literally nothing happened LOL

2. One Series Where You Would Change the Actors

I find this a strange question because I just greet the character with the actor's face but perhaps I'm just not knowledgeable enough with asian actors to be able to say who would do a better job. 

3. One Series Where You Would Change the Plot or Make It Better

KinnPorsche. My first step into thai bl's in 2022 and the disappointment was real LOL

For 2024, I guess Jack and Joker's middle arc. I would have preferred a more cat and mouse chase to build up the romantic tension between Jack and Joker, rather than focusing on social commentary which dropped the pace for me. 

Kidnap is another 2024 were the writers just stopped and changed genres after ep.2 and then remembered again at ep. 11. I was expecting and wanted a more action orientated show and we got fluffy rom com lol

1. Could've been a couple:

• WinTonkla (4minutes): I am really conflicted between KornTonkla and WinTonkla. Personally, I'm a fan of the latter and I really wish they would've had ended up together.
• Tattoo Aran (Jack and Joker): Even though I was not much excited for them, seeing as a couple would've been an interesting thing to watch amidst Jack and Joker's relationship drama.
• SaintShin (High school Frenemy): The entire show is advertised as a bromance, but it gives off more Bl vibes. SaintShin were so "We are friends, but also more than that" coded. I would've loved to see them form a romantic connectionn

2. Personally, any show starring Gun Napat, except for Love by chance,  is almost unbearable for me to watch. His mouth always goes side ways in a smirk that doesn't look attractive at all. Also,  Aya Orapan, who played Khaimuk in Love Sea had unnecessary and exaggerated facial expressions. I only liked for the character's relationship with Vivi. But seeing someone more experienced than her would've really done the job.

3. One Series Where You Would Change the Plot or Make It Better: (There is more than one)

• Bad guy my boss: I would've definitely changed the tone of this story from classic Wattpad toxic to the angsty melodrama that I had anticipated. The red flags were glaring, and I really would've made it more healthy and less conventional.
• Love is like a cat: To be honest, I wouldn't even want this series to ever air. If I could do anything, I wouldn't let this series ever see the light of the day.
• Jack & Joker: As much as it was a great show, there were just some plot holes and heavy sense of deja vu that I couldn't look pass through. It had a lot of ambition, but didn't nail in it's final execution.
• Kidnap: It is a heavily watered down story. It had more romance than action, which would've been okay if the show hadn't been centered on an action theme. It wasn't bad, but also wasn't necessarily good. And that's how I somehow like it.

1. BL Couple You Would’ve Liked to See

I assuming this question means the actors since we've already been asked about characters.

I remember when I watching Not Me, thinking I would really love to have seen everything from Black's pov, and really wanting a spin off to see what he was doing afterwards. Give him a partner of his own but realised that it would mean giving Gun another partner for a series and that would be extremely unlikely since OffGun are very popular. 

2. GL Couple You Would’ve Liked to See

I have not watched any GLs yet.

3. Your Most Anticipated Series of 2024

I only started watching trailers recently and the only one I can remember thinking, hmmm, that looks kind of cool, was for Caged Again.
