Knock Out - episode 5

I enjoyed this episode. The plot thickens as Itt being revealed in some shady business. 

It was good to see Gap Jakarin Puribhat from The Sign. I really enjoyed his character in that series.

Regarding Thun's jealousy: He needs to adopt a playbook because his reactions are not going to cut it. His explosive reactions only fuel that smug smirk on Yut's face. I have never been jealous, instead I have been territorial. There is a HUGE difference; jealousy is when you want something that is not yours, while being territorial is making it clear what belongs to you. Listen to me, Thun needs to play it calm, cool, and calculated. During that meeting with Yut, after seeing his advances, stay calm and be sublte. Thun should have changed his posture, leaning a little closer to Keen, placing his hand on top of Keen's on the table, squeezing it (for reassurance of course), and do not remove the hand without caressing Keen's knuckles with the thumb. Of course the language has to change as well. Thun no longer calls Keen by his name; it is now "baby". Finally, he should not just walk out of that meeting with Keen by his side; absolutely not. He should have walked off with his arm casually around Keen's shoulder, and just as they are about to leave Yut's field, Thun slides that arm down and around Keen's waist. This is avoiding the explosive reactions and still making your claim clear...............Yes, I was re-writing that whole scene in my head while watching lol 🤣 🤣 🤣

I do have another minor point of contention: That NC scene in the car was not it 😭 I laughed out because what are they doing? Where was Keen bouncing to  🤣 🤣 🤣 it is them attempting to make it steamy and sexy that had me cackling  🤣 🤣 🤣 I swear this song came to mind and it makes no sense why: "Take it back now, y'all, Three hops, three hops". I need Tharn & Type and Charlie & Babe (🫦) to come and teach them how sexy car sex is done  🤣 🤣 🤣 (I will save my descriptive suggestions just to keep this post PG lol)

Anyway, enough of my yapping. I am loving this series a lot. Looking forward to episode 6

Pit Babe Season 2: Uncut - episode 6

This post is completely safe to read! (Thought I would say this since I am using the spoiler feature coupled with the photo below lol)

After all of that time being mad at Babe all it took was one kiss from him for Charlie to come undone lol

This is how I want all BL couples to make-up from now on:Babe - "If you need time, I can't give it to you. Charlie just don't leave; I'll give you everything"

Charlie - Babe, I didn't throw the race. *pause* It's just...I've never been able to beat you.

The double meaning behind Charlie's words; he is not just talking about the actual race. He is also talking about how he can never resist Babe's touch and kiss (at least this is my interpretation). The words felt heavy in this scene, so I can only interpret them as such.I am burning up 🥵 - and I am not talking about the actual fever that I currently have 🤒

I have never been jealous, instead I have been territorial.

Just for clarity - I am not referring to any romantic relationships, since I have never been in one. I was referring to me being an only child, and when I was younger I hated other children who were getting too close to my mother and grandmother (I still do, but to a lesser extent. It has to be something drastic because best believe at my big grown age I will go and sit on my mom's lap, like go find your own 😒) lol jk I have grown out of it.

 ZhouYanRan:

has the ban on Chinese BLs been lifted lately or have they found some kind of a loophole?

Good question. Supposedly some real BLs are through cooperation with foreign partners for release only outside of China, but I don't see that with "Litchi Island", which is stunningly good for such a tiny production crew. Maybe it slipped through under the radar as a small web drama? I'm still worried that it may be expunged - so for those who haven't watched it yet, don't wait too long.

Secondly, let me tell you what I've watched this week 🙂

Mission to the Moon eps 13-15
Bringing a ghost to his job was obviously a mistake, but did Navee have to take it out on him? I know Vee needs a job to survive, but he'd be dead by now if not for his guardian ghost. I wonder how many episodes are left, because this story is progressing so sluggishly. I feel like we're still at the starting point.

The Sparkle in Your Eye eps 1-4
This is a Singaporean BL, right? The first four episodes engrossed me. It's pretty obvious Su Yi is seriously ill or even dying. He is also Pei Jia's fanboy. This series they're making seems really important to him. I'm waiting for Pei Jai's character development. Will he risk his career for love? We also have our second couple, Su Bai and Yi Wei. They're already in a relationship, so they're facing a different challenge. I wonder if Su Bai knows about his brother's disease. Is this the reason he helped him get that role? Can't wait to see what's going to happen next. I hope for a happy ending, but I'm prepared for a tragedy.

Trapped in Osaka eps 1-2
Is this a Chinese BL? I don't know, but the story captivated me already. This feels very intimate with just these two men in a small flat. So far the storyline reminds me of Dangerous Drugs of Sex. No kidnapping here, but we've got a depressed man whose lover recently died and so he plans to follow in his footsteps, but then this other man appears in his life and takes his late lovers place. I'm surprised how much I like the story and the acting already.

Reset ep 1
This is some makjang/lakorn level of crazy, but I love it. So many questions, so few answers. I'm excited. Both leads are very attractive and they're played by talented actors, so my expectations are quite high. Thada is the biggest mystery to me. Is he really just a fanboy? I have my doubts. I'm really curious where this series will take me.

Eye Contact eps 4-5
Oh my... We've got Nu and Sun sulking and jealous, Sun's sister being up in his business, girls comforting each other in bed, some high school drama, Jon looking like a Vegas wannabe, Chain being chained and feverish... I don't even know, where to begin. How are they going to wrap this mess up in just one episode? Seems like Nu and Sun are going to face more trouble, because Chain doesn't take no for an answer. Now not only he wants Nu for himself, he's also seeking revenge. I smell some manipulation. Anyways, Chain could barely move after Jon put him through such an ordeal. How in the world did he manage to escape from that hospital? Also, I still don't know what's the point of the high school couple. What are they here for?

The Ex-Morning ep 3
Yes! Finally, a pink milk cameo. I'm truly enjoying all those small references to SOTUS. In the beginning I was wary about Krist and Singto coming back as a couple, but they still have it. I love their chemistry and I especially love their storyline. It's so painfully obvious Tawan and Phi still love each other. What in the world happened to them? Why did Tawan leave? Somebody needs to start spilling the beans, because not knowing is driving me crazy. That bathroom scene broke my heart😭  Te is a real a$$hole. I understand he wanted to get back at Phi, but the way he did it... He clearly orchestrated that whole situation, which led to Phi's downfall. I love the girls, both Nudee and Kaoki seem like great people. Can't wait for the next episode.

Sweetheart Service ep 5
What can I say? I'm a sucker for the fake-relationship-turned-real trope. Plus, Minwoo and Yooha are so adorable together I can't contain my smile. Very enjoyable little series.

This week my bestie visited me, because I needed a break from all the work and we've binged three BL mini series together. Two of them were non-Asian and the third one was...
Secret Love Mini Series
It's like this: I've seen all those tiktoks from this year's Songkran and TleFirstone couple caught my eye. I had no idea who they were, so I started looking for them. Since their series You(r)tuber has not been released yet, I had decided to watch this one to check, whether they work out as a couple. I found this series entertaining, but everything is entertaining when I watch it with my bestie, so don't trust my judgement. I genuinely enjoyed 1/8 of this series (the lovey-dovey part). I'm also glad they didn't gloss over what happened between our main couple and that it had its repercussions (An struggled with trusting Jin and being intimate with him). Personally, I don't think this was a bad series at all.

I have found a new hyperfixation

Lan Zhan/蓝湛

 BL4life:

Lan Zhan/蓝湛

Join the club! It's a big one, lol

Okay so the fact I just started The Untamed and I'm already on episode 23 is killing me.

I love the outfits,the use of magic and swords.

Honestly I would love to see more like romantic scenes in it between Lan Zhan  and Wei Wuxian but I do understand that China has it's restriction but PLEASE I WANTED TO SEE THEM KISS ATLEAST(I know they kiss on the novel though). But I  never really thought I'd be interested in  Wuxia or Xianxia(Xianxia maybe because I love magic and like well immortal stuff a lot so yeah) 

I mean so far it's a 8/10 for me but I still need to finish it.
