I'm currently actively watching 12-- and there's so many other's I want to be watching lol
Same. Normally I watch one drama at time so I can see more of them. But since this month I was a little bored of the last drama I decided to watch several BL in a week and I ended up watching 13 of them 😂
My Love Mix-Up final
That was cute. I love that both the mums were so supportive of them, especially Atom’s mum lol not her trying to eavesdrop from outside Atom’s room to see if he got accepted lol XD
Anyways, I’m glad that everyone got their happy ending and I enjoyed this drama a lot- now that I’ve watched the Thai remake, I’m looking forward to watching the original to see what’s different lol
Overall rating: 8/10

Yeah, the final episode was so great; the entire series was great! I'm so sad it's over though. I didn't expect to cry in a lighter fluffier type series like this, at least not cry as heavily as I did in this ep, but Fourth really really delivers his roles so well every time, and I also have a personal reason that got me super emotional and crying. I'm gay and I never got to have that open accepting experience with my mom like they both got in the series from their moms. But, often these series can be very healing for me seeing moms being super supportive and accepting reflected in them where it's always about how they just want them to be happy. Their sons' happiness is also their happiness, and that's all they want.
@Jadeheart yeah I get you, it sucks having homophobic/closed off parents who you don’t feel like you can talk to openly about stuff like that
One of the parents who really stood out to me was Pete’s dad in DBK, I loved how sweet and caring he was, and it was adorable and funny to see him try to talk more with Pete (especially about the condom lol XD) lol sorry I’m still obsessed with DBK atm so I can’t stop thinking about it XD

That's wonderful that there are series that bring a healing experience for you. It even feels healing to me to see parents in dramas not only accepting their gay children but to embrace and celebrate them as the unique & special individual that they are.
I am backkkk. Literally just got bailed out after a bar fight............HAHAHA LOL just joking. I would never....get caught.
Anyways I have some catching up to do.
Day 22 - Super powers
I would want to have the power of the avatar; master of all four elements and the avatar state. I love the avatar series franchise. I would use these powers to stop wars and serve as the ultimate deterrent for any future wars. I would be the guardian of the world, so pretty much the same responsibilities as the avatar.
Day 23 - Singing
Yes I do. I prefer the dining room in my house because it has amazing acoustics. I love the resonance I hear when I belt in my upper range in the dining room.
Right, now I have 4 minutes to watch as well as the finale of This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans; I also have the premier episodes of The On1y One to watch as well as the Jeff Satur's movie to watch. Wait I also have the weird series of Sky Valley to watch.

Yeah, I have literally gotten more benefit from many different Asian BL series than I ever got from therapy lol.
It's Friday... that means Sam's ramblings for 4Minutes. Episode 5.
They actually added it to iQ, which is super exciting for me.
Tonkla? That you, my boy?
Oh, Bible. The way I just... oof.
Product placement, of course.
What was that kiss?! That was like a peck I could give a stranger.
They are doing something with the lens in this episode. I've discovered they don't do anything without intention in this, so I am curious as to why.
We are finally getting some answers!
So Captain dickface knows Tyme is a doc.
My heart is breaking for Nan. I would've liked for them to address more of the SA culture since they put that dynamic in the show, but I understand why they didn't. Still I find it unfortunate when SA is just used as a plot device.
Who the hell is this? Another damn body? Noooo. Not Mon. :( That's all Nan had. Makes sense why Nan was so dedicated to the mission.
AHHH. I hate Captain Dickface. Such a dirty, awful, horrendous human. I wish Tyme had just shot him.
Great's family is just so dirty.
Wait. The lady from the first episode? AHH like I said they don't do anything without purpose.
I feel for Great's mom, but man is her husband a dick.
Where the hell is all the security?!
WHAT. OMG NO. He still couldn't save her. Holy shit. I did not expect that. Can we have a take 2?
...oh. Oh. OOOOH. Holy. Okay. I see what they did there. I think. I am partly confused. But partly like wow okay. So like did his relationship with Tyme happen? It must've.
ANSWER YOUR DAMN PHONE, TYME. YOUR HUBBY IS DYING.
HOW CAN IT JUST END LIKE THAT?!
Day 24. Do you play a sport or are you a spectator? What sports do you play or watch?
I don't play any sports and I don't watch any either. Watching sports bores me. The only thing I do is walk 10k steps daily but that isn't counted as a sport, at least I don't think it is. What I'd like is to be able to weight lift and build muscle. But that's probably a distant dream since I don't have access to a proper gym. Maybe one day.
omg guys!! another episode of 4minutes is out!!! This was definitely the best episode we have had so far. I will admit I am almost completely lost, but that's alright. I am a binge-watcher at heart and I'm really struggling with remembering what the hell is going on.
I really missed my fav Tonkla but it's okay,, I guess :,(. I do think it was the right choice to not include his side story in this episode, it would have made what was already very confusing episode worse. I do however miss his beautiful face. Not missing the cop tho! LOL!
The cinematography in this episode was so good! I don't remember if it was this good in all the other episodes but I just noticed it was so beautiful!! The last scene especially with him running down the hall!! omg!!!
I really felt for the brother in this episode (I forgot his name). I really loved the scene with that woman he's fucking and when she asked him to stop fucking Tonkla bc he's a "toy", and all of the inner turmoil he goes before he turns back around and decides to (maybe) agree to marry her. I think it would do him a world of good to marry a woman. Like omg he's gonna marry her to get her dad's influence to get him out of jail and in order to do that he has to leave his boytoy?? love the drama!!!! also she's totally right. Tonkla is just his boytoy; he didn't love him. And if even if he did, Tonkla didn't love him back. While the scene was happening I was thinking in my head like "Noooo!!! choose Tonkla!!!!" but now reflecting on it, it would have been a really stupid decision on his part. I truly adore when a plotline and writing is good enough that the story continues without the characters having to make the most absolutely appalling dumbest stupidest worst decisions to artificially create drama. Also, that woman, she is absolutely hot as FUCK. If she asked me to marry her I'd be like on my knees in an instant saying "yes please mommy". I am so sincerely incredibly sorry to everyone who just read that. I understand why he decided to leave his boytoy for her omg. Like yes, Tonkla is HOT AS FUCK too, but this girl will get him out of jail and is equally as hot!!! Honestly, this guy has wayyy too much game. He pulled two of the hottest people in this show?? Teach me!!! Me and this guy have the same type I think.
If she looked at me like that I would be ABSOLUTELY FUCKING WHIPPED. LOOK AT HER!!! THE FACE CARD IS INSANE! Sorry guys this isn't very "BL Drama Lovers" of me, but I just can't hold it back.
I am also like in love with how softly he speaks. Like the juxtaposition between his bad boy online gambling illegal business persona and his cute little twink voice? love.
Also - good on him for just walking out after his dad unfairly blames him and slaps him. (again, making good decisions and the story still has drama!). I really loved his acting when Great was like "You would never hurt me, right?" and he says nothing!! OMG!! I'm not angry at him though (strangely enough). It must suck to be this guy honestly. I would say he and Nam are vying for the "who has the hardest life" card in this series. (excluding Nam's friend, RIP, she gets first place)
As a person, I would say I have a lot more empathy for the struggles of the rich than most. Not sure what that says about me... I guess I can relate a lot more to rich problems than the kind of problems that Nam has. I'm not trying to say I'm like filthy rich or anything (I'm not), but I mean I grew up in the suburbs.. I'm very far detached from that kind of struggle, and not very far detached from the Rory Gilmore type of problem. I mean my grandparents are basically the same as Rory's grandparents if you made them a little bit nicer LMAO. I had lunch with them the other day and we basically just discussed our favorite wines. But hey, I may be privileged, but at least I'm aware of it!
NAM! omg love it when women in BLs have real stories and personalities!!! I thought her story was really interesting and engaging. Still a little foggy on how I feel about her exposing the dad,, but I completely get how in her mind it seemed like a completely obvious correct choice to make. However, I know that her doing that made Thyme's like a whole lot harder, and I love Thyme!!
Speaking of loving Thyme, I actually did not love him in this episode. I was kind of bored with him idk. Didn't really feel chemistry with Great, still iffy on him taking the bribe (at least try to negotiate a little more money, don't be naive). He also didn't get a whole lot of screen time for this episode. I did enjoy his relationship with Nam and learning about that. OH and the beginning it bothered me when he was talking to Great and it went like -- Thyme: "I'm gonna expose your family for the awful things they do all over the media," and Great's like "uhh can you not do that" and Thyme's basically like "fuck you" - had me rolling my eyes. But it's okay, I think next episode we will see a lot more of him being boyfriendy with Great for obvious reasons. Loved the running down the hall scene so I have very high hopes for the future Thyme. ALSO point for him not being completely tone deaf while playing the guitar!!!! YES!!! WE NEED MORE MEN IN BLS WHO CAN ACTUALLY FUCKING SING. WHENEVER THERE IS SINGER IN A BL I ALWAYS BRACE MYSELF FOR THE WORST MOST OUT OF TUNE GOD AWFUL SINGING I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY WHOLE LIFE, BUT THYME AND THE GUY FROM KINNPORSCHE WHO IS ACTUALLY A SINGER REALLY GIVE ME HOPE FOR THE FUTURE OF THIS GENRE!!!!
I liked Great in this episode. I thought he did the right thing most of the time. A true feat for a drama to make. I have been pondering who the hell hired the guy who shot him?! I realized it could be from either side! :O! Maybe it was his dad! Maybe it was Nam's side!! Who knows!!! Maybe someone else entirely!! I also really fell in love with the mom in her last moments. Fantastic monologue. 10/10. Everything she does is for him!!!
About the woman and the temple and the priest (?) religious guy (?) hitman (?) I have no idea. Completely lost. The stick? I don't even know what religion is going on here. Literally no fucking idea who she is. Whatever, I will probably figure it out by the end of the series.
also, definitely the right choice to not include any sex scenes in this episode. I thought the trend of there being wayyy too many would continue like in that one where they had like 3 or 4 in one episode but I'm very glad it didn't.
