Just Pretending
Description
When Dusit Sitwat landed the role as the love interest of actor Gamon Chaisit's Y-series, Don't Break My Heart, he thought all his dreams had come true... right up until the show ended and he was escorted out of Gamon's bed and his life just as he had begun to believe he had found the love of his life.
After spiraling for years-self-medicating with alcohol and getting by on temporary construction jobs-and with the help of new friends, Dusit has taken big steps toward sorting out his life. Then Gamon's new manager comes knocking on Dusit's door, asking him to reprise his role. Dusit is wary, but the opportunity to see Gamon again proves irresistible, and he reluctantly agrees.
Freed from the influences that had driven them apart, Gamon and Dusit have a chance to negotiate a new relationship, but there are resentments and misunderstandings to overcome for both men. Will they take a risk and turn the pretend happily-ever-after of their characters into reality for them?

Person
Z. spent much of their adult life traveling the world and has visited thirty-five countries. Z. also lived in Southeast Asia, Israel, the UK, and China.
During the pandemic when Z. couldn't travel, they studied the changes in Asian BLs/Yaoi and dramas. Many of these shows evolved from basic visibility to exploring Pride events, homophobia, sexual orientation, gender identity, and same-sex marriage at a level that was never seen before. These Asian BLs are no longer simple romances about same-sex couples in love but have become the soft power that is changing hearts and minds about LGBTQIA+ issues and people throughout Asia and the world.
Z. holds the opinion that every single one of us deserves to be happy forever. Regardless of where we are on the infinite spectrum of gender identity or orientation, our differences and similarities should be both respected and celebrated.
