Studying the roots of Thai BL, we find Love of Siam, which was released in 2007. While some may argue that SOTUS or Love by Chance helped BL become an international sensation, I would counter that it was Love Sick that took the first steps in raising the profile of Thai BL all over the world.
#Love sick cast series
Thus, we can truly describe this series as ground-breaking and a trend-setter. To my knowledge, Love Sick is the first teenage romantic gay series to air anywhere in the world. Love sick was the first Thai series in which the main story was a BL story. Remember that at that point, most Thais were not familiar with “wai series” (BLs). When Love Sick the series first aired seven years ago, I doubt anyone could have predicted it is impact in the Thai mediascape. In this blog post, I will reflect on how Love Sick helped spawn the BL industry in Thailand, which of it is influences are still felt in BL, how its creators and actors have continued to influence the BL industry, and how viewer’s expectations have been changed by Love Sick and how that has affected writers and producers of BL in Thailand. My apologies!) In July of this year, Love Sick turns 7 years old! The series, which first aired on MCOT’s Channel 9 is widely regarded as the “ mother of all Thai BL series”. I apparently confused the airing of S2 with S1. ( EDIT: The original article had the airing date of Love sick wrong, which is weird considering that elsewhere in this site I have it correctly listed as 2014.
It was Apand no one could have predicted the impact of this series in the Thai mediascape.
#Love sick cast full
In between music video projects and commercial shoots, Moors is currently working on a feature-length political satire film entitled Bobby Fox.This was the first video uploaded with the full cast. Alexandre also directed last year’s glitterball-powered music video for Don Toliver’s internationally-recognised track 'Do It Right.' This video also comes on the heels of a recent VMA win for Moors, for the Miley Cyrus music video, 'Mother’s Daughter.' This collaboration is not the pair’s first. “There was such a collaborative spirit to this project, and Rotation s the perfect team for this film.” “Hip hop is the world I feel most comfortable in, and it was exceptionally fun to build a narrative around this ‘70’s disco playground Don and his team had already envisioned,” said Alexandre. The fast-paced and ultra-creative nature of writing and directing 'Love Sick' allowed Alexandre, who grew up in the Paris graffiti scene and rubbing shoulders with rappers, the freedom to play and to improvise within a colourful, larger-than-life universe. Porto, who Alexandre collaborated with on his 2013 award-winning feature film Blue Caprice, bring an overarching narrative to 'Love Sick' that heightens the visceral punch of this seductive and visually dazzling short film. Set in the disco 1970s and centred on Don Toliver as a womanizing café owner running some nefarious business behind the scenes, 'Love Sick' is punctuated with lust, humour, superstition and tragedy as it highlights moments in the lives of Don, the waitress, the patrons, the cook, the girlfriend, and the cops whose destinies have intertwined with the greasy spoon.Įxpanding on Don Toliver’s film story and vision, Alexandre and screenwriter R.F.I. 'Love Sick,' presented by Rotation, Amazon Music’s hip-hop and R&B brand, and airing exclusively on Prime Video starting this Friday, is the result of an electric collaboration between Don and director Moors, who is known for his long career making dramatic, sultry, and narrative-forward music videos with high-profile musical artists like Miley Cyrus, Kendrick Lamar, and Juice WRLD.
Alexandre Moors, long-time director with creative production studio Good Company, has teamed up with rapper Don Toliver and Amazon Music to create 'Love Sick,' an episodic, Goodfellas-inspired short film that pairs with Don’s new album Love Sick, via Cactus Jack/Atlantic Records.
