I can vividly recall those times long gone, when there was one BL released for months and we suffered from 'BL droughts' and we complained and begged for more. I've never thought I'd say this, but I actually miss those times a little bit. I feel so overwhelmed by the amount of BLs being produced nowadays. This is what we call 'klęska urodzaju' (disastrous abundance)😵 I need a month, just a month, with no new BL releases, so I can catch a break and catch up with all those BLs I've already missed 🥺

There are plenty on new BLs coming out in October. I've got no idea who'd be able to watch them all. Personally I'm most excited about those scary ones. Goddess Bless You from Death looks really good, I hope it delivers some horror. My Secret of Seer seems similar to Khemjira (dark magic, karmic enemies). The Cursed Love looks more like some fantasy/xianxia, rather than horror, but we'll see. I have no idea if I'll find enough time to watch all I'd like to watch, so I'm not making any plans 🤷♀️

Seeing you talk about older BLs, I've felt inspired to put some order into the chaos on my MDL and I've decided to make some custom lists of my completed BL/GL. I had no idea it was going to be such a tedious and time-consuming task 😫 I went through over 2 thousand titles on my completed list, wrote down over 500 titles including BL/GL and then put those titles on the appropriate list and so on... Those lists are still a work in progress, but if anyone is interested, for any reason, here are the links: 1 2 3

Romansing the Ghost
The acting was bad, the NC scenes were, well, bad, the story was lacking... I'm not sure what the selling point was 🤷♀️
ep 1 -> Dongmin looks for a new flat and decides to move in the haunted one, because the ghost there is a cutie 🙄
ep 2 -> Apparently Dongmin is a spectrophile, which is why he allows the ghost to do questionable things to him while he's asleep 😰
ep 3 -> Whether Namjoon ever felt something more for Seunghoon or not, it's been three years and he's long moved on 🥱
ep 4 -> Dongmin and Seunghoon want to feel better, so they go to bed together. I swear, Dongmin was as expressionless as the therapist from Therapy 😲
ep 5 -> Namjoon clearly has got some issues, since he's dating the skinship teacher from Sexual Lessons. Dongmin needs to move out, Seunghoon faints from a broken heart 💔
ep 6 -> Seunghoon leaves the world of the living after haunting his flat for three years, Dongmin moves out and right away meets Seunghoon's Doppelgänger and falls in love again 🤦♀️

4 Destiny Project ep 2
Was this even a BL? Because it didn't feel like a BL at all. It wasn't even scary, so I'm disappointed. Whatever the vision of the 'visionary director' was, it didn't appeal to me 😞
It was much ado about Yot's ordination. After Yot finally went through it, Aim turned from a vengeful spirit to Casper the friendly ghost. Because he made a promise to never leave Yot, he's staying by his side, forever. At this point, after being abandoned by his gold-digging ex-girlfriend, Yot should seriously consider becoming a spectrophile 😏

I'm the Most Beautiful Count ep 9
First of all, I like the young king more and more each episode. He seemed like an annoying brat in the beginning, but he's growing on me. Plus that forbidden love he's got going on with Jade... I'm emotionally involved 🥰
Second of all, there are very few love triangles I like, but I like this one so far. I think it's great that Banjong has found the courage in his heart and he's trying to fight for Prince. I just wish it was the real Woradech he's fighting for. Also, he's kind of sexy when he's shooting those rifles, muskets or whatever 😍
I love Mumu 🐯
I don't know if I read her right, but Pandao seems to dislike Woradech mainly because he loves her brother while being a man. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that was the real reason they didn't want Woradech in their group 😒
I'm the Most Beautiful Count ep 10
I can't believe Chaiyachet is giving love advice to Kosol now 🤭
Banjong knows how to lose with honour and grace (and a few tears), he's got my utmost respect. I just wonder, whether it were really Woradech's feelings for Banjong or if it was Prince's infatuation... Does this mean Prince is getting closer to their goal, so Woradech's spirit is slowly coming back to take control over his own body? 🤔
Did you see the way Somdet (or whatever his name was) caressed that golden throne? Oh, he isn't giving up...

ABO Desire ep 14
I enjoyed this episode a lot, since it was mostly about Sheng ShaoYou and Hua Yong. I think they make a perfect couple, since they both seem to come from disfunctional families. They both deserve better brothers 😥
Hua Yong is clearly enjoying himself, now that ShaoYou has accepted him. They're both crazy in love - I'm loving it 😍
'I'm a dreamer and I'm good at making dreams come true.' - the audacity of this enigma 🤭
ShaoYou is too good, no wonder Hua Yong keeps worrying about him. He nourished a viper in his bosom. Hopefully Hua Yong will wring its neck 😈
ABO desire ep 15
Wenlang is moping and I don't care. He's dumb, but I just love his friendship with Hua Yong 😂 I love Gao Tu's sister. She truly cares about her brother and his baby, that's nice to see. I'm just worried about their father. He's clearly not a nice guy. Why did they inform him about Gao Tu's condition? What about the doctor-patient privilege?
Wow, Hua Yong tried really hard to be that omega for ShaoYou, didn't he? At least his effort paid off. Now he's about to make his own family with him, I love that for them. ShaoYou may pretend he doesn't like what's happening, but those eyes can't lie. He's enjoying this thing he's got with Hua Yong 😏
All of that happened and I still haven't found out what blood type enigma has...

Khemjira ep 8
That episode was long. I'm not complaining, but it took me by surprise 😯
First of all, Prim and Pong are sibling goals. Second of all, chapeau bas! They took those rejections like champs 👏
Jet went the whole hog with Charn and the next day he friendzoned him. Charn was ready to take a step forward and Jet took two steps back. Although sulking Charn is cute, I hope they'll resolve this soon 🥺
Khem, are you a voyeur? Cause you've been looking for quite some time. It took one kiss and he got bold already 😏
Oh, how I wish we've got to know the whole truth about their past lives already. I want to know who Krongkwan was and what she did. Is Ramphoeng a villain or is she misunderstood? 🤔
When I heard Monk Kasem's coming by train I kind of expected the train to derail or something. I'm surprised he's still coming, just a little late.
What was Khem doing? Depraving master's innocent thoughts and my innocent eyes like that? The moment they've started stroking nagas in the sheets I knew something bad was bound to happen. There is a reason why 'the final girl' in horror films is a virgin. Charn and Jet are a lost cause, but you've still got a chance, Khem, don't waste it!
I'm worried about grandma Si. Is she even alive at this point?
Is it just me or did they use a whole lot of cosmetics this episode? Anyways, I can't wait for what's next and I really hope this time we'll learn something useful about their past lives.

Love Sea JPN ep 9
I've probably said it before, but Kaishin and Mina make such a nice duo. Ai's dad is a real scum. Oh, how I love that scene where Ai unleashes his rabid dog, Kaishin. My evil side is happy, although not yet satisfied 😈
Sadly, we're going to get our hearts broken next episode 💔
