hi folks! any Thai BL reccs for comfort binge watching? preferably funny and light like Bad Buddy (i realise it's not 100% funny and light but it's my all time fav) or Fish Upon the Sky

Out of those releasing right now, Ai Long Nhai looks like the best light thai BL to me! Ghost Host, Ghost House can be funny at times, but it feels more deep and grave (it's trying to be "scary"). And if you haven't seen it yet, Secret Crush on You is silly! 💙
