Battle of the Writers
The BL Thai drama Battle of the Writers was so much fun! :D Shan, Ob-un and 3 other writers team up to write a BL novel.
The title should have been Collab of the Writers. lol I loved their chat scenes: instead of just showing phone screens, the show gave the actors adorable hairdo/make-up as if they were avatars, put them around a table and showed them actually chatting. The only "Battle" aspect was that the characters write wuxia. Even though there are only a few minutes of wuxia BL per episode, I enjoyed them as much as the contemporary BL scenes.
The main m/m pairing is played by Tutor/Yim, who played the tertiary pairing Nuer/Syn in Cutie Pie. They had much better material here as the main pairing, of course. I also enjoyed the secondary pairing played by Mark/Gems. The tertiary pairing was very minor.
It's available legally and for free on YouTube. The uncut version is on iQiyi, but not in my region (this drama is from last year, I haven't had any region issues with recent iQiyi series).
