Day 27: Favorite Taiwanese BL

all the best ones have been mentioned, I think. My favorite is Unknown, but Kiseki: dear to me and See your love are also great. I’ve watched them all more than once. Kiseki is notable for such a great second couple. (I almost bought a Nat Chen pillow. Iykyk.)  I also love anti reset and have watched it multiple times.

i really loved history2: crossing the line and history 3: trapped, which I just watched recently. About Youth was also great.

all the other ones people have mentioned except for your name engraved herein are ones I’ve watched, liked, and would watch again. I think the promise of the soul will fall in that category. just have to say again how taken I am with Martin Wong (from promise of the soul), so that moves promise of the soul up my list.

also, i am really loving Secret Lover.

Thanks for the reminder. I'd forgotten how much I loved "See Your Love". Definitely one to re-watch.

Love these two soo much  😍😍😍

Where are the questions that everyone is answering?

Regarding all your answers to the challenge, the questions like favorite food or favorite music have no hidden meaning, they were just added for fun and to get to know each other better. Lots of us have trouble limiting our answers though so gave very long explanation. Lol.

regarding 4Minutes, there is one person who explained the whole story really well in the comments. I’ll see if I can find it and send you the link. I found it very helpful.

update: I had to google it but hope this helps

Thank you for letting me know. I thought maybe it means a favourite trope or such. 🤭

I kept my answers short coz I thought it would make my post an eye sore. 😂 I enjoy reading details otherwise.

I understood most of 4 Minutes but I still have questions about some of the scenes. I look forward to reading the explanation. 😁

Couldn’t fall asleep last night and found myself scrolling through “most popular dramas” on MDL. Does anyone know what the criteria are for these? It doesn’t seem to be rating. Could it be number of viewers? The BLs on the list are definitely not in order of what i would consider best to worst.

Good day people, I hope we are all doing well today.

Is anyone currently watching Dating Game? I have not seen many posts about it.

No worries, long posts are common here. I tend to do some very long posts when series finales roll around.

Yeah, I do not think ratings are used as the metric for that list.

I have never seen a historical BL so I might like it.

Go for it!  It won't take long to finish.

I'm waiting til it's over. I thought Mr. P was watching it but when I went to his drama list (V2) and selected "Currently Watching" his list didn't seem to change to show those titles, unless he actually has 91 titles! 

Wait, nevermind!! I figured it out and he DOES have 91 titles under "watching". 🤣 😵‍💫 But not Dating Game, lol.

(re "Dating Game" with my most dearly beloved angel Fluke Natouch)
Nope, not yet. So far the options are TrueVisions NOW via VPN to Thailand (legal) or certain alternatives (not legal, which I prefer to avoid unless absolutely necessary). From everything I've read, the English subtitles (for both options) are abysmal  ... so I'm patiently holding out in the hope that there'll be a proper international release.

And yes, my CW list is a total mess. I need to do something about that. Someday.

most dearly beloved angel

Now he's an angel, lol

Yeah u have some work to do alright. 😆

ETA: In case anyone isn't aware, u can set the CW list as the default list for the landing page if u want. 

Fav Tawainese BL

For now I will say the promise of the soul but that is the only one I have watch so this answer will probably change soon. I plan to watch some Tawainese BLs once I finish KinnPorsche which is the main thing I am watching at the moment besides watching eps for airing bls.

(Edit: completely forgot about secret lover so if I had to pick between promise of the soul and secret lover I would pick secret lover but beside those I have not seen any other Tawainese BLs)

@Italophilia : ooooh thanks a lot ! 🥰

I‘m really enjoying Promise of the Soul. The first episode was bad, though. poorly paced, inappropriate behavior, too much silliness to start the story. But after that it’s been really sweet and not too silly at all. The main couple have great chemistry, since they are a couple in real life. They’re doing a good job with the characters and giving the story just enough emotional weight. I can’t wait for the last episode this week!

also, Martin Wong is gorgeous! 

Totally agree, the chemistry is chemistrying a lot 😁

DNA SAYS LOVE YOU / Kiseki dear to me / We best love / HIStory 2 & 3

I'm currently watching The Promise Of The Soul, ABO Desire, Secret Lovers,

Aside from Nameless Season, I’m watching all of these too. Doctor’s Mine is the weakest one for me, but the rest are really solid. I’m loving The Promise of the Soul. It’s got such a unique vibe and the whole cast is doing a wonderful job. BL series are really thriving this year!
