I have not encountered much romance so far, and hopefully that remains through to the end. I have very little interest in straight romance these days. 

you remind me of my friend who says she’s not interested in any straight Asian dramas anymore. It’s BL or nothing!

I find I always choose BL to watch first over GL or straight drama, but when I do finally watch other shows I still like them if they’re good. Still, I’ve been trying to get through two straight kdramas and one Thai GL for months!

thanks for your heartfelt review of Memoir of Rati. I agree with everything you said!

My only objection to the drama is the ending wasn’t quite enough for me. But I’m not saying that’s a spoiler because I sometimes think most endings disappoint me. I don’t like shows to end when I love the characters because i don’t want to say goodbye. Also unless a show ends dramatically (or with an NC scene) it somehow is so much less intense than the action of the series. so i think I might just have a problem with endings. Because it was a great show.

Shine (Orchestric Ver.) - episode 6

I am declaring a 10 tonight!

This entire episode is a special 10 scene. It is raw, gritty, and real. No sugarcoating of events.

These scenes left a significant impression on me:

  • The protest
  • The fight between the second couple (clash of social issues and love)
  • Victor coming out
  • Victor confessing (excellent acting, I could feel the weight of the emotions in that moment)

They switched lol

The more I reserve my full thoughts until the finale, the longer that future post gets. Hopefully I will not have to do it in parts lol

LOL

This so me. It is hard to go back to straight dramas after watching BLs.

Memoir of Rati:  This show had everything I love in a period drama. It’s visually stunning, the costumes are flawless, and the sets beautifully capture early 20th-century Thailand. The writing is sensitive, and the cast delivers such powerful performances that the whole thing feels like a hidden gem.

Looks like I need to prioritise watching this series after my trip to wuxia dramas ends.

Has it finished? I cant do the waiting for an episode every week thing so im waiting to binge watch instead. I liked the leads in Wandee Goodday, looking forward to them again.

That was a pleasant surprise for me, but In is definitely unhappy about it.

I just found the ghost/horror/occult BL that I'll have to make an exception to! (Cuz I don't watch them).  🫣 😆  It's looks like so much fun! Does anyone wanna watch it with me?   It starts Oct 3.

Season 2 of Pit Babe isn’t as good, just so you know.

It is not? I watched the first season and liked it a lot so I watched the 1st ep of season 2 but I put season 2 on hold because I was getting kinda stressed out with the amount of shows I was watching so I put some shows on hold.

Season 1 was really popular and everyone fell in love with all the couples. They made This Love Doesn’t Have Long Beans with SailubPon and BenzGarfield. it’s a totally different kind of story with different characters but also fun. Pit Babe season 2 has all the couples (PavelPooh, SailubPon, PingNut, BenzGarfield, and MichaelTopTen.) it was great to see them all as couples but the story just doesn’t work as well, and PavelPooh just aren’t as lovable somehow. A lot of people liked BenzGarfield the best. I liked watching it for all the characters I love but I was frustrated that the story didn’t work as well.
