my plan is generally to start everything that’s streaming on major platforms and then prioritize once I see what I’m liking best.

Good plan.

 dora:
another factor in what i prioritize to watch is what’s popular.

In addition to your point, popular currently airings (especially our group watches) are more likely to be a subject of concurrent discussion in this group, which can make watching more fun.

 dora:
As for the jbls without international release plans, I’ll watch if someone posts a link to decent fan subs, but those often don’t come out every week.

Yeah, it can be an exercise in patience waiting for the fansubs to get posted. 

Example: "Kita-kun, Our Shared Love", which is my kind of adorable fluffy cuteness, but the subbed episodes have been slow in coming. (Episode 11 only posted today, still waiting for the final episode.) That being said, I really appreciate the fansubber, who I'm sure is a busy person. No criticism intended. This must be quite a lot of work, and the quality of the subtitles is good.

My preliminary verdict on episode 1 of "Lover Merman" (Viki): It is (to put it mildly) far from a dramatic masterpiece *cough cough*, but there are cuties, and the island scenery is nice. In principle it's an interesting new BL theme, but it remains to be seen where they take it. So yeah ... I'll stick along for the ride.

 Indie Art Girl:
What dramas are u most excited about and want to watch as soon as it airs?

Any u don't plan to watch?

The ones I'm interested in and will definitely watch are:

- The wiched game 

- The story of Bi Hyeong

- Goddess bless you from death

- 25 Ji, Akasaka de season 2 

- The love never sets

- punks triangle

- (Love Song)

I’ll wait and see with the others. I’ll check them out once they air, for now there aren’t any I’m not planning to watch.

Here's yet another scheduled October release, thus bringing the list now to 18 BLs with specific dates:
"Bokutachinchi" ("Our Home" / "Chosen Home") starting October 12 - looks promising, but no international platform yet.

Yes I just heard about this too! It sounds like a fun one.


 p43425:
In principle I'm in for the group watch of "Goblin", but I'll be flying to the U.S. again next week, so "travel schedule permitting".

Cool! Also, u come to the US kind of often. Maybe u have family here...if so I hope all is well and ur flight goes well.

 

 p43425:
"Punks Triangle" could be interesting, but I don't yet know much about it.

One of the mains is a fashion designer, which is different. The visuals are there, but u know I'm crazy for long-haired leads! I haven't found a YT trailer, but I guess that's typical for a JBL?

 Simi_Tutu:

OMG, I had no idea this was getting another season! I really need more of Hayama's smile.

I liked S1 so hoping for another nice watch!


 dora:
a very long explanation of a lot of nonsense that amounts to “we’ll see.”

😆

Going with the flow can be the best plan! My plans never really materialize like it starts out, lol.

 Sophie:
The ones I'm interested in and will definitely watch are:

I'm trying not to be too excited for Punks Triangle but I am anyways! 

It's not morning yet but I couldn't sleep so I'm watching Secrets Happened on the Litchi Island Extra that's been on my PTW list for awhile. I'm remembering how much this couple captivates me and almost makes me wish I had a similar relationship for myself. Almost...lol. 😆

I think they are one of my all-time fav drama couples. 😍

 Indie Art Girl:
u come to the US kind of often.

Or maybe I just like stalking you (secretly).

 Indie Art Girl:

Oh, that is indeed interesting.

 Indie Art Girl:

Hmm, I guess the domestic Japanese market, which tends to be the focus of JBLs, isn't so YT-oriented?

 Indie Art Girl:
I think they are one of my all-time fav drama couples.

Yes, their genuine chemistry is one of various things that made "Litchi Island" a BL masterpiece.

P.S. Hu Yi Chen is a top-tier cutie-patootie!

 Indie Art Girl:
Lover Merman  EP 1

I just watched it and I have to agree. The promise is interesting but  was not well executed. The acting feels very awkward and forced at times, and the flow of the story feels a bit weird. I'll also keep watching to see where the story  goes and if it gets better.

 Indie Art Girl:

My plan for the new BLs coming in October. 😸

Watch when they air:

  1. 25 Ji, Akasaka de Season 2
  2. The Story of Bi Hyeong: Enchanted Master of the Goblin  GROUP  WATCH!*  Oct 3 - I have 5 names (yep I made a list  😆)  so if u don't remember raising ur hand ask me, lol.
  3. Punks Triangle
  4. Me and Who

Wait til later:

  1. Red Moon & Wine
  2. Un-in Heart
  3. The Love Never Sets
  4. Therapy Game
  5. Love Reset 
  6. (Love Song)

No plans to watch:

  1. The Secret of Seer
  2. Goddess Bless You From Death
  3. The Cursed Love

HOW ABOUT YOU?

What dramas are u most excited about and want to watch as soon as it airs? 

Any u don't plan to watch?


*Group Watch = We watch each ep. on our own time and come here to post our thoughts and have convos whenever it works out for an individual. Or u can wait until the final. 

I am gonna start watching My Magic Prophacy today since it is the last episode and as a big JimmySea fan I am surprised I was able to wait for this to finish airing to start watching it lol 😂💖🥰😅 I am also waiting for Revamp to finish airing to watch it also as I am a huge BounPrem fan also ❤️💖🥰

 p43425:
Or maybe I just like stalking you (secretly).

Haha, stalk away!  😂


 p43425:
Hu Yi Chen is a top-tier cutie-patootie!

Absolutely top level! That's why he's on my cutie list. 


 Sophie:

RE: Lover Merman - This is a good way of putting it. We can keep our fingers crossed that it gets better!


 PerayaForever:
I am gonna start watching My Magic Prophacy

I have the last ep to watch today. The other day I figured out one reason I'm not more excited about this series. I'm not a fan of country settings, stories or casts of country characters. Just in general. It doesn't make sense and maybe I fall into being too picky, or maybe I'm just too much an urban girl. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Plus I never really adjusted to Jimmy's softer character role. Has he had other roles where he's been the warmer ML? Cuz I only remember rough or tough and colder roles.

Well...I'm gonna have to delete the 4 Destiny Project series from my WTA list. It appears that they are supernatural horror style themes and that's soooo not my thing.

Here's the Red Moon and Wine trailer. You'll see what I mean!

 Indie Art Girl:
I'm gonna have to delete the 4 Destiny Project series from my WTA list.

But ... but ... they're directed by "four visionary directors". It says so in the blurb, so it must be true!

 p43425:

Lol 

Well, since it looks like things are taking the same direction as the first one, I think I will be deleting it too.

 Sophie:
, for now there aren’t any I’m not planning to watch.

I can't believe it didn't even take a few hours for me to go back on my word.

 p43425:

And...? Do I care? 😂 🤣 😂

We're the boss!


 Sophie:

It's called being flexible, lol. 

 LueurArcane:

🤭🤭
