BL Drama Lovers Club

 Italophilia:

Ooh, Comment sections can be downright nasty. I like Keen. Thun implied he wasn't fighting because no one would fight him, like they were too scared. Keen was new to the Club and didn't know Thun vowed never to fight Typhoon. As for the re-match, their Coach made that deal but Keen's getting blamed for it.

Right!! Some people are being downright cruel to his character. Like, dude just lost his dad, got tortured, and was given a debt that wasn't even his!!! Then, when he tries to save himself, he gets blamed for stuff that he didn't even know about. He's so brave tbh. I would've just escaped the city/country at that point, but he's still trying to pay back everything. I feel like people are being are being too mean to him. I actually like how stubborn and mentally strong he is🤝

Although MDL reviews can be quite useful, I completely ignore MDL comments unless I'm looking for some kind of specific information. Too negative and toxic. I like positive attitudes and enthusiasm that enhance my enjoyment. And so far, I'm really enjoying "Knock Out", even though fighting isn't my thing.

Yes! The High Line is cool, we walked it down from Chelsea Market to Hudson Yards. The buildings and views all around are neat! Great for picture taking!

@Axdxex: I was thinking of you yesterday!  I was in NYC for the day to visit an old friend and, among other things, we walked down the High Line. It didn't exist back when I lived in NYC, so that was something new for me. Unfortunately, I didn't time my visit very well: No hook-up with Dunk. Waaah.

that's exactly what i was gonna say too. i have to keep myself out of the comment sections here, they stress me out lol

but for the time that i've been here i feel like this group has done a great job of either just ignoring or redirecting toxicity and unnecessary negativity, so props to yall for that <33

@Art Girl is this new Mr. P lore?

And lo and behold, what was announced yesterday?  (Almond, too) Gosh, I'm good.

I swear they are building a monopoly. I wonder if we are witnessing the second BL revolution 🤔 like think about it. In the first revolution the industry started to boom (especially after Covid), pumping out series at a rapid pace, fan meets get bigger and bolder in production, bigger budgets, smaller countries getting more invested, etc. Now there seems to be a another revolution taking place. I fear though that BLs are starting to be produced in a way that has them losing their uniqueness which made them create niche in the entertainment market (I will not expound for now since it is not that great of an occurrence lol).  During this time I am especially looking at WeTV. They are putting out series more frequently and their quality is still good; not quantity over quality (not completely consistent but good enough to be noticeably).

Not sure about the other BL countries, but certainly in the Thai BL space, we're in a period of dramatic change. In addition to GMMTV adding to their roster even faster than me with my own harem, Domundi/Mandee has come out of nowhere since 2020 (with "Why R U?") to become a big-league player with a growing and really good roster of cuties actors under contract and an impressive announced line-up, while other venerable old BL names (e.g. Wabi Sabi) are struggling - and yes, WeTV is clearly also trying to get serious about BL. It'll be interesting to see where this leads over the next year.
