seen at 143 pm one day 3:

What I did to find challenges was go on Rien's banners and badges 1.0 thread and see the first post where she lists all challenges she made banners for. I simply went down the list and picked the ones I liked. I doubt there are challenges Rien didn't make badges for so yeah.

that's so smart!! 

i went and looked through them but didn't make it too far, got derailed adding an entry for the 52 week drama challenge 😅 it's really fun to see everything separated by month. my memory must be getting bad already, i was so surprised by how many titles i'd watched in january lol. makes sense tho, i was lounging around as my cat recovered from surgery 

2 challenges is probably enough for me to keep track of but who knows, maybe another one will catch my eye 

also if anyone else here is doing the 52 week challenge (or any other challenge tbh), lmk! i'd love to see everyone's entries :)

I love your chart and the colors! Very cool. I'm also doing the 52 Week challenge. Mine is really simple. I use it a lot actually and it's easy to maintain. The titles are color coded for "Drama" or "Movie", etc.

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.

I have other favorite BLs but so far none have made it through so many rewatches. Maybe because the Thai ones are longer. I wonder….

anyway I love to hear your list of most rewatched.

Oh! I’m constantly re-watching shows.

Thai BL : Star in My Mind, Between Us, & Ai Long Nhai (these 3 are probably my most rewatched shows in general)

Taiwanese BL : Plus & Minus, See Your Love

JBL : Perfect Propose, At 25:00 in Akasaka

I'm doing two other Challenges besides the BL one:

52-Week Challenge (2nd entry and on page 3)'

Alphabet Challenge (2/3 of the way down on page 4)

Honestly I feel you, I've had discord for 5 or 6 years now and  I keep deleting my accounts due to drama but I keep finding new settings and things that I didn't know existed like wtf.

I haven't looked at my BL calendar for a while so when I saw the topic of new BLs coming up in the next week or so  I thought I better check. Here's what I'm planning to watch:

  • Eye Contact  5/14
  • My Sweetheart Jom  5/16
  • Loy Kaew First Love  5/16
  • I Promise I will Come Back  5/19
  • The Ex-Morning  5/22

I probably already posted smth a few weeks ago, but I can always use a refresher cuz life has a way of sucking whatever's in my brain right out of it. 💀

FREEEEEEEEDOOOOOMMMM

It feels good to be back watching BLs

My Stubborn - episode 4

They certainly are consistent with these opening NC scenes. This one may have broken the record for being the longest NC scene I have ever watched, but I could be wrong considering I never timed the length of the NC scene in For Him.

Anyway, moving to more substantive matters, normally in messes like this, it is at this point that I would hope for characters like Jun to start putting up some boundaries to guard their feelings. The fact that Sorn is not committing to Jun but expects commitment from him, gets jealous and encourages an ambiguous relationship with Penny openly, serves as a huge indicator of the impending heartbreak. Most likely  Sorn will have some chasing and begging to do later on in the series. 

The act of bully by Sorn in this episode does not sit right with me. Care must be given, on the part of Sorn, to the fact that Jun is still an intern who needs to do well in his internship because outside of their "lessons" Jun still has to make it as an adult as well as he has his own dreams and aspirations. What Sorn did was highly immature and off putting and I will go as far as saying unnecessary to the plot (I use the word plot very liberally).

I look forward to the next episode, because based on the preview it seems that there are some significant developments awaiting us.


My Golden Blood - episode 9

This is a very heavy episode. The death of Tonkla was unexpected. I was holding out hope that he and Nakan would somehow end up together, sigh.

I really appreciate the open communication between Tong and Mark; there is no long drawn out issue due to lack of communication. Mme Thara, it would seem to me, has some ulterior motives, but let me watch and see before casting a final judgement of her character.

I look forward to the next episode.

P.S

Where can I get one of these? Sigh! Like, can I just pick up one at the local grocery store? But in what aisle do I look 🤔.................... the meat aisle 🤭
