it is not complete to talk about my 2023 drama universe without mentioning winnysatang. i can't really remember how it started but they're becoming my most favorite gmmtv bl couple in the year. if i must say an era as a checkpoint, though, it was definitely my school president, where everything started: soundwin. but, of course, it is my habit that whenever i started to admire someone i tried to look up their past works. and that's how i learned more about their previous 'meetings': fish upon the sky and star in my mind, as well as their own separate starts.
writing about soundwin and how much they mean to me will be another different post altogether so i won't pull it out here. but to put it short: there are so many reasons why we relate to, or come to love, a story or a media. or no reasons at all but an intuitive gut. and the intersection of both is what have been a case with me whenever i feel attracted, and further attached, to certain fictional characters. people might find it 'silly' or illogical, but that's just how i 'operate'. exactly how sound described his 'when' to win. and then, slowly, my love for these characters just (not-so-automatically) extended to the persons who amazingly portrayed them: winny & satang. i truly enjoyed my time rediscovering how it feels having such excitement again. and the more i get to know them the more i adore and admire them, both individually and as working partners. they're just a perfect mixed embodiment of comfort, heart work, understanding, tenderness, and passionate youth to me. i can feel there are so much in store for them in the future if they really decide to keep continue walking in this industry. in which if they do, i hope their friendship could stand a test of time and perceptions, and they could be each other support for as long as they wished to be.
and so, i hope the world could see more of them in 2024. more series. more music. more events. more growth. and if you still see me on your dash being crazy about them, please bear with me, i just want my kids to get more and more love :")
but if not, just know that i would keep loving them, in my own way and pace, and perhaps, in secret <3
Satang: We’ve traveled on this journey together. Thank you for being with me. I’m so lucky to work with Winny. He’s nice and has no problems. He also keeps improving himself. I want to thank him for that. Winny: We work together and we’re close. We click. It’s easy to work with each other. We speak the same language. And likewise. We’ll join hands to create good works for the fans to enjoy. Winny & Satang: Please stay tuned. / Let’s join hands.
