Quantcast

The Killer Next Door...a vertical drama

watched it because of the actors and their chemistry and the acting was pretty good.

 Jadeheart:
That said, as far as the BL dramas, I personally like that they're culturally specific to the relative country that they're produced in and reflect that culture and society and the homogeneity of said Asian countries.

I thought about this perspective too and agree as well. It's really not so much changing the "norm" as it is as much as including it as another storyline from time to time. Like, there aren't very many robot BLs, which I really like but I don't need a heap of them. 🤣


 Jadeheart:
But I think what would work to make that happen would be how KATSEYE did a multicultural girl group on a K-pop framework and aesthetics for a broader audience outside of just being all Korean coming from Korea.

This is a great idea! Yes KATSEYE is a good example of this. Kind of in addition to. It could be a new sub-genre in BLs, lol.

Yes, see my post about two thirds of the way down on page 2243. (It's a long post, so I don't want to repost it here.) That was before last week's episode 7, but it didn't really change my opinion. Now starting on today's episode 8.

thank you!!! i'll go give it a read 

Anyone here watching MuTeLuv: "Hi” by My Luck ? Can you share your review and spoilers please? Thanks a lot

 p43425:
Glad you're feeling better. I also enjoyed "Hi By My Luck", and there's much to be said for short 'n sweet. I still haven't decided on the currently airing story #2 (good cast but non-BL), but I will definitely watch #3 ("Diva Deva Mata" with the incomparable Lego!).

Thanks.❤️   I'm watching Not My Father just because my cutie pie Prem is in it .  😍 Can't wait for Diva Deva Mata cause Lego is totally my alter ego! 

I appreciate all the wonderful birthday wishes; they truly made my day!

 RXinw:
The acting is excellent from every single one of the actors.

Amazing review as always! I haven’t watched the final episode yet, wasn’t in the right headspace emotionally. So I’ve been finishing up the lighter shows and saving Shine for last. Totally agree about Peter, and I’ve gotta say Mile really blew me away. He already proved he could act in KinnPorsche, but in Shine he really outdid himself.

"Takumi-kun"

Takumi-kun looks like it's going to be super interesting! Thanks for the chart. I was actually thinking of making one myself. I'm really curious about the blazer colors. I thought they were meant to show school year differences, but apparently not? Maybe it's a status thing?

 ZhouYanRan:
My special task force man, secretary of the year, the one and only – Veynai.

I’d totally love a series with him and Janine!

 ZhouYanRan:
but I truly admire their courage to film a real omegaverse story, with heats, ruts, pheromones, mpregs and all that jazz.

Same! Same!

 Simi_Tutu:
The way these two have me in a chokehold!

Wishing you all the best! They've had me in a total chokehold since Only Boo! It's one of my ultimate comfort shows! Counting down the days for Head 2 Head! Can’t wait!

 Jadeheart:
Just finished ep 1 of That Summer,

I’m so happy Winny & Satang finally got their shot as main leads. They’ve always had amazing chemistry! The first episode was seriously good. Just crossing my fingers that Tum gets a happier ending than Tonkla did! 🤞

 Indie Art Girl:

Thanks for sharing! Two of my absolute cuties. I mean, how can anyone resist Prem’s smile? It’s illegal levels of adorable!

Oh god don't remind me. My heart shattered and I still can't believe they did that to him. 😭

Guys, I could really use your help!I I’m doing the BL Watch Challenge and trying to track down older series, but it’s been a struggle! I tried searching by release dates in the Upcoming Dramas section, but I keep getting: “There were no results matching the query.” 😩 Is there another way to search?


Finally wrapped up  10 things I want to do before I turn 40

I absolutely loved this series. It’s a hidden gem, full of symbolism, and it explores loneliness, aging, and unconventional love stories (age-gap relationships) with such sensitivity and respect that it feels genuinely heartfelt and honest.

Tojo Suzume is such a charming character because of how vulnerable and real he is. He’s quiet, but endearing, dreamy, sweet, and gentle. At 39, he’s facing a quiet existential crisis: stuck in a routine between home and work, no excitement, and no relationships for over a decade. That realization leads him to make a list of “10 things I want to do before I turn 40.” It’s a simple gesture, but deeply symbolic, his way of reconnecting with the world and with himself. I’ve seen some people criticize him for not being “mature enough” for someone his age. But seriously, what does being mature even mean? Why can’t someone enjoy cute things, get excited like a kid over new discoveries, and still be emotionally grown-up? You don’t have to be dead inside to be mature.

Tanaka Keiji, on the other hand, is confident, playful, charming, romantic, idealistic, and emotionally open. He believes in love, even when it’s messy or inconvenient. The way he challenges age differences and workplace norms shows how confident he really is.

And it’s the chemistry between Suzume and Keiji that makes this series so special. They’re opposites in many ways, but they complement each other beautifully. Keiji brings color and spontaneity into Suzume’s life, gently nudging him out of his comfort zone. His assertiveness is never pushy, it’s rooted in genuine affection and curiosity. Kazama Shunsuke and Shoji Kohei absolutely nailed their roles. Their interactions felt so sincere. Also, I have a soft spot for couples with a height difference. 😉

Suzume represents so many adults who, at some point, wonder if it’s too late to experience something new. His journey is about rediscovering joy, connection, and the courage to be vulnerable. And the answer he finds through humor, affection, and bravery is a beautiful reminder that hope is always within reach.

I enjoyed the story and the MLs, Sea & Keen. They did well. What kind of spoilers r u looking for? 

I'm not the right person if u want deep thoughts. I'm on the shallow side, but not intentionally so. It just is. 🤣

 Ju Moon:

Thanks for ur thoughts. Well thought out as always and very mature. 😊

I thought the 40 yo was very sweet to like stuffies and cute things. He looked like a stuffie himself, lol. I really liked Keiji a lot. I wish I could have felt the romantic connection too. It would have made a big difference, I think.
