BL Drama Lovers Club

i've been on a total ZeeNuNew kick since the last prince started 😅

i'm a couple episodes into cutie pie so far and it's pretty enjoyable. i started watching for MaxNat but i really like ZeeNuNew here too. the plot is fine, i'm mostly in it for the couples tbh

i also watched after sundown today and i thought it was pretty decent. honestly might've been better as a full series because some of it felt a little rushed. and i think i would've enjoyed having more time to really explore all the characters' relationships. i really wanted to see more of the second couple and the grandpa with his monk (ex?)boyfriend. teasing me with potential old man yaoi is cruel and unfair ☹️

Which 3 new BLs r premiering on Friday? I’ve been out of the loop for a while 😅

The only ones I know that are airing on Friday are My Sweetheart Jom and Knock Out. If there’s another one, I’m not sure. Also, Eye Contact airs on Wednesday.

Knock Out
My Sweetheart Jom
Loy Kaew First Love

In addition to the above three starting Friday, there's also:
"Ai no Kisetsu: Season of Love in Shimane" starting Sunday (Gaga) - sequel to "Kiseki inTokyo"
"I Promise I Will Come Back" starting Monday (WeTV) - Thai/Taiwan cooperation
"The Ex-Morning" starting next Thursday (Youtube GMMTV) - Krist/Singto

My understanding is that the two-episode "Be Mine Be Yours" airing on Saturday and Sunday (part of the "Thun Thai" anthology) is BL, even though it isn't flagged as such on MDL.  

Finally, "Eye Contact" supposedly starts airing tomorrow. The Youtube trailer says WeTV, but I don't see it on WeTV in my country - so maybe I need to fish around with VPN (or maybe it's just WeTV Thailand in Thai, without an international release).

So we have a full week of BL new-starts ahead of us. That being said, the only one of these eight I'm really excited about (so far) is "Sweetheart Jom".

Yeah, it was strange, it was crazy, but the villains were interesting 😉

Thanks!

I am watching Takara-kun and Amagi-kun for the 5th time and am wondering what other people’s most rewatched dramas are. The others I have watched 4 or 5 times seemed to favor JBLs including At 25:00 in Akasaka, Love is Better the Second Time Around, Perfect Propose,  Takara’s Treasure, and the Japanese Love in the Air.  My most watched KBLs are Semantic Error and Jun & Jun. The only Thai BL I have watched this many times is Love in the Air.

My favourite and most re-watched BL of all time is "Until We Meet Again". I love you so much, Pharm!  I rewatch for comfort, so I invariably skip over the mega-heavy flashback parts.

Of the ones you mention, I've re-watched "Takara/Amagi" more times than I can count (cuteness overload!), and I think I've watched "Takara's Treasure" three times and "Perfect Propose" twice so far (but they're both still relatively new, so there will for sure be future rewatches). "Mr. Unlucky" ("Fukou-kun wa Kiss Suru Shikanai"), "Kieta Hatsukoi", "Minato's Laundramat" (both seasons), "If It's With You" ("Kimi to Nara Koi wo Shite Mite mo") and "I Can't Reach You" ("Kimi ni wa Todokanai") jump to mind as other JBLs that I especially like and have rewatched several times.

I can't really think of any KBLs where I have quite the same rewatch compulsion, although "Semantic Error" is certainly one of my fave KBLs. I know that I've rewatched "Our Dating Sim", "Love Mate" and "Eighth Sense", but there are probably a few others.

Among Taiwan BLs, "About Youth" is definitely my #1 most rewatched, followed by "Stay By My Side".

There aren't any China BLs that's I've re-watched ... yet. I've only watched "Stay With Me" once. It's a masterpiece, but it's photographically etched in my mind (and rather intense for a comfort rewatch). I've watched the recent "Hidden Secrets of Litchi Island" only once so far, but it's a sweet, delightful masterpiece which I will definitely rewatch.

Among Thai BLs, gosh ... it's hard to narrow it down because there are so many. Aside from "UWMA", others with high rewatch value for me that jump to mind are: "Love By Chance" (high nostalgic value as one of my first BLs), "Bad Buddy", "My School President", "Moonlight Chicken", "Oxygen" (minus the dreadfully boring "doctors" storyline), "Star In My Mind", "Fish Upon The Sky" and the recent "Your Sky" - but this is a very incomplete list.

anyway I love to hear your list of most rewatched.

i haven't been watching bl's for that long so i haven't really had a chance to rewatch much of anything yet. but when i first saw kinnporsche i watched it twice in a row, then once more later on with a friend lol

other than that there are plenty on my list that i plan to rewatch in the future. i think 4minutes is the one i'm most excited for, i feel like i'll enjoy it even more now that i actually understand the plot. but pretty much anything i rated a 9 or higher i'll likely want to rewatch at some point

The only dramas I've rewatched and it was only one time.

LITA and HIStory 3: Trapped

I rewatched Light On Me and Where your Eyes Linger to figure out if I liked one more than the other. (It was Light On Me by one rating point)

Otherwise my answer is none,  if your talking repeatedly. Never done that and no plan to. I've got too many new dramas to watch! 😊

i just discovered this one when looking for titles for the bl watch challenge, it looks really good! it's labeled as a horror so i'm a little nervous, but as long as it's not too intense or overly gory i should be fine. plus jeff is there :)

As Onyx already wrote, it's sad but not scary. It's quite good - and it's a quick watch.

If you share my love for Jeff Satur and Gameplay, I can strongly recommend "Ingredients" (21 delightful micro-episodes).
