Should Have Had Poly

QLs that should have had a poly relationship are shows in which themes and plot and character arcs and visuals all supported (and incoraged) a poly read. Shows that are made just a bit worse for not including a poly ship, or an open relationship of any kind.

    1. The Rebound

    Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes

    9.0

    THE NUMBER ONE SPOT!! IT TAKES THE CROWN OF: IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN POLY QL EDITION!!!
    The colors, the acting, the plot, the subtext all supported this read, indicated it so loudly everyone on tumblr picked up on it.

    AND THEN THE FINALE CHEATED US!!!!!! And they never given us a resolution for Atom.

  • Love is Dang Nyang Dang Nyang

    2. Love is Dang Nyang Dang Nyang

    Korean Drama - 2022, 11 episodes

    Dethroned as THE NUBER ONE SPOT by The Rebound. But only Just!!

    The fact that we got a second couple instead of a poly ship is a crime that I will never forgive. The plot was about two reincarnated as humans pets going to find their old owner and then the show spent most of it's time splitting the two pets to focus on the two seperate love stories. TO SHAME!!

  • Only Friends

    3. Only Friends

    Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    IT SHOULD HAVE GIVEN ME POLY (especially since they had one character disingenuously shout threesome? from the fucking rooftops)!! 

    AN OPEN ARRANGEMENT. A CHARACTER THAT DOESN'T WANT TO BE IN A MONOGAMOUS RELATIONSHIP. AND THAT BEING FRAMED AS IT BEING OK AND FOR THAT CHARACTER TO COMMUNICATED THAT WITH WORDS INSTEAD OF CHEATING (And Yes that character should have been Boston fuck you show).

    Like it's fine that Nick didn't want to be in an open relationship I understand that writing decision, but Boston? Why couldn't the story have been Boston asking and getting an open relationship with Nick, then Nick deciding he actually doesn't want that and only said yes to keep Boston? And then they break up. WHY COULDN'T I GET THAT ON SCREEN???

    AND IT SHOULD HAVE GIVEN ME MORE COMBOS BETWEEN THE MAIN CAST THEN IT DID.

    WHERE ARE MY HATEFUCKS!!

    I don't want this show to be all nice and happy no messy bits. My major complaint is that it wasn't messy enough.

    Not in the top stop simply because I am more angry about other things then the absense of a poly ship in this show.

    The fact that even the lead writer said one of the arrangement should have been poly said it all. Also there should have been more open relationships, in a way that makes it seems like the characters want to be in an open relationship arrangement (like on the one hand I get what they were writing but the fact that we have a lot of sex worker and only the couple where they are both sex workers seems at least fine with being together and still being sex worker while all the other is framed as we are together and you should only be with me kind of thing did bother me).

  • Gen Y

    5. Gen Y

    Thai Drama - 2020, 12 episodes

    Mark-Kit-Wayo would have been a much better story then what we ended up with for Wayo.

    Another trio that could have worked is Wayo with both Jack and Koh (although the two of them were much more comedic in nature and Bas didn't have that much chemestry with them - But I did read a fic about this that convinced me). 

    Plus a crack ship only I have with Wayo and Padlock (Which could lead back into a poly arragement with any other boy - Not Thanu - but is not strickly poly. Mentioning it here just because).

  • Gen Y 2

    6. Gen Y 2

    Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes

    Mark-Kit-Wayo would have been a much better story then what we ended up with for Wayo.

    Plus a crack ship only I have with Wayo and Padlock (Which could lead back into a poly arragement with any other boy - Not Thanu - but is not strickly poly. Mentioning it here just because).

  • Not Me

    7. Not Me

    Thai Drama - 2021, 14 episodes

    Black/Todd is my prefer Black ship but I see and recognize the Black/Gram/Todd poly idea. 

    It's in the should have list mostly because I think such a political show would have beneffited from both a lesbian couple and a poly ship.

    Black is also very shippable. I actually prefer him with Yok rather then Gram out of the main group. And I know there is at least one Black/Yok/Todd fic and One Black/Yok/Eugen fic (and at least one with Gram/Black/Nuch). So again VERY SHIPPABLE.

  • Happy Ending Outside the Fence

    8. Happy Ending Outside the Fence

    Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

    This one is so obvious. If you squint it's even canon. 

    Not a frequent rewatch so my memory is a bit spotty.

  • Oh My Assistant

    9. Oh My Assistant

    Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

    Don't rember this one that much. But I do remember that I mentally put this in the it should have been poly pile Korea was really good at being in for a bit.

  • Mate Match

    10. Mate Match

    Thai Drama - 2021, 5 episodes

    This one is one of the most it's basically canon from this list. But it's not explicit. So it's here.

  • Tinted With You

    11. Tinted With You

    Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes

    This one is also basically canon. They all reincarnated in the modern day, they all remeber each other, they are so happy to see the other boy. And they both loved the prince. CANON.
