I feel like such a ghost here, I hate how offline I am on this but anyways

Do you all agree with this?

I’ve only watched two shows from this list. I usually go easy on my reviews because I know everyone puts in their best effort. But The Perfect Match isn’t something I’d recommend, despite a few cute and fun moments. The acting feels pretty amateur, and they struggle to show emotions in the more dramatic scenes. On top of that, it relies way too much on clichés, almost to the point of feeling like a parody.

Flirt Milk isn’t a masterpiece, but it’s light, fun, and super relaxing to watch. I have to admit, I love nonsense shows.  🫣   I really enjoyed the interactions between the main couple. The acting is a bit hit-or-miss, but definitely better than The Perfect Match.

I was thinking about ratings and how I choose them. I never give anything a 10 because to me that’s perfect and nothing is. So my highest rated dramas are a 9.5. Also I never give anything less than a 6.0. I figure if I can sit through it it deserves at least that. But most things I rate between a 7 and a 9. I try to assess the quality as well as my enjoyment. I give an extra .5 points if I really liked it or end up rewatching it more than i expected. But in retrospect I wonder if this is the best way to do it to help myself and others assess a show’s quality. Are my ratings too close to each other? I find it hard to be harsh though because I can find something to like in most shows as long as they’re not boring. I do hate sad endings though. So that could ruin a decent show for me.

How do you decide? What’s most important to you in a good show?

I’m not usually harsh in my reviews because I know everyone puts in a lot of effort to do their best. There’s one show (The Whisperer) that I gave a 4.5 because I was really annoyed. The last episode was missing! I thought that was super disrespectful to the audience. And I was actually enjoying it, even though it’s a horror series, which isn’t really my thing.  

For me, the most important factor when rating a show is how much I enjoy it. If it made me laugh, cry, or think, that’s what really matters. Like you, I can usually find something to like in most shows. Maybe that’s not the best way to help others evaluate a show's quality, but I struggle to rate things with other people in mind because taste is so personal. And I know my taste is a bit unconventional. There are popular series that I find mediocre, and others I love that got terrible reviews/ratings.  

No matter how bad a show is, I’ll still watch all the episodes. The one thing that can truly ruin a show for me is if it feels, well… sloppy. The budget can be low, the actors can be inexperienced, but if I can see they were really trying to create something interesting, I usually give it a positive rating. Otherwise, it’ll get a low rating (if there's at least something slightly good about it) or won’t even make it onto my list (if I feel like nothing is worth saving).

I’m terribly sick today. I have some sort of stomach bloating thing and I still went to school and ended up lying down on the floor in pain and exhaustion at least 5 times throughout the day. The pain was utterly unbearable and it turns out my mum has the same thing and was wondering on on earth I survived school haha

(Sorry this post is unrelated to BL, I’m just having a bad day 😞)

Sending you healing vibes!

I just watched ep3 of The Next Prince and it was fabulous (i’ll come back later to talk about it) but right now I’m here real quick to share a picture 😂

Look at those facecards??? Anyway, I woke up at 2:30 AM to watch LOL. It was awesome. Clips are all around twitter for most of the performances. I really want to be there in person next year 🤞

Ah my beauties! ❤️❤️❤️ I’m traveling to New York City in July to see the Heart Killers fan event. I can’t wait! I have “high touch” tickets so I’ll get to see them up close. I could pay $100-$200 more for photos with one of the couples but it’s all already so expensive! I’m sure it’s too late now to get them anyway. We couldn’t even get vvip tickets because they sold out so quickly! I’ve never been to a fan event before so I hope it’s fun. I also hope GMMTV—or any of the companies—see how popular it is and plans more BL fan events in the US.

as for the next prince, they broke out a lot of beautiful costumes for this week. The show is so much fun. We all needed a BL fairytale, right? My only complaint is that we hardly saw the supporting couples. Jimmy was in it a quite a bit but not with Ohm. And we only got a glimpse of Net and JJ (not together) at the end. But ZeeNunew are still fabulous. Such a fun show.
