I'm loving Punk's Triangle so much! I have such high expectations!

Me, too! I wasn't expecting much, but it's an increasingly interesting story with such an original vibe.

 Indie Art Girl:

😆

I'm guessing here, but I think for multiple parts in one ep it would look like this in the YT title - 

EP. 1  1/4,  EP 1 2/4, etc. 

They do don't they? J-dramas are a totally hit or miss for me though. I either really like it or drop it.

That makes sense. Usually they just write ep1 so I was looking for the other parts.

Maybe I'm watching curated content so jdramas are looking good? Meanwhile kdramas are a hit and a miss this year. I'm not speaking exclusively of BLs though.

 Indie Art Girl:

Nope not yet. I keep an offline list of the titles I watch and check MDL every so often. They usually pop up eventually. Like Never Ending Story just did the other day. 

I just tinished Never Ending Story.It is cute but very slow moving. Very low budget so you can hear all the background noise when it is supposed to be really quiet. Lots of long pauses and dead air. Made me realise making a drama is not easy at all. 😄 They did a decent job with the acting though.

MDL has been taking very long to approve dramas. My cdrama title took 2 months. Maybe Korean dramas will get faster approval?

It is! TBH I was hooked frommthe first episode. Normally I prefer to start when a decent amount of episodes dropped but I was curious and not at all disappointed. They keep teasing certain scenes and I am wondering when they will come.

Also I keep looking at the two looks of the ML and wow what a chameleon he is. I would also not recognise them as the same person probably.

I've seen 2 episodes of Khemjira. It is interesting and frankly I didn't find it scary so far but the episodes are quite long. That is my only issue. I can't watch it quickly. I have to set aside time to watch it.

Are you all watching anything interesting currently? Or started anything good this month?

Since I'm currently so obsessed by the emergence of Domundi/Mandee into the BL big league, here's a history of the Domundi-Mandee partnership through the lens of average MDL ratings:

(before 2020: travel vlogs)
2020: "Why R U?" (7.6)
2021: "Domundi Reality"
2022: "Cutie Pie" (7.6)
2023: "Naughty Babe" (7.3)
2023: "Bed Friend" (7.8)
2023: "Middleman's Love" (6.8)
2024: "DMD Friendship the Reality" at start of year, "It Takes Two" at end of year
2025: "Your Sky" (8.3)
2025: "Next Prince" (8.1)
2025: "Khemjira" (8.8 !!!)

Notes:
(1) Excludes special episodes, spin-offs, etc.
(2) Where MDL lists both an uncut and cut version, average rating above is for uncut.
(3) Excludes third-party productions featuring Domundi actors: "Two Worlds" by Kongthup, "Suntiny" by Copy A, "Battle of the Writers" by Hydroindus, etc.
(4) Excludes Mandee contract productions featuring non-Domundi actors: "To Be Continued" (2024) for CH3+ and "Me and Who" (2025, still airing) for WeTV (Big & Park)
(5) Excludes "After Sundown" (7.6) - Mandee movie starring Zee & Nunew, but where can one watch it (uncut)? Has anyone actually seen it?

It's evident to me that 2024 (following Domundi's ambitious recruitment and training in prior years) was a pivotal year, laying the groundwork for three striking successes in 2025 and hopefully far beyond.

I hope that “Duang With You”, "Magic Lover”, "Mr. Fanboy”, “You(r)Tuber”, “Hug E-Lhee", etc. will live up to this new standard!

I got the same issue with Khemjira. The episodes are too long for me to be focused through the whole episode. I get distracted in the middle of an episode. I've also seen only 2 eps but it feels interesting and promising. 

I'm watching That Summer and so far enjoying it a lot! Although I fear there is a chance for a sad ending. By far MondRyu is stealing the show from WinnySatang a bit for me 🫢 I love them <3 All actors are doing great job tho

Has anyone watched the first episode of Head 2 Head?

yall be getting me super hyped up for khemjira , as you guys know I watch one at a time so I can take it all in but as desperate as I have been to start it I'm glad I waited as watching one episode then waiting for another to air when I'm on the edge of my seat & they decide to finish it when reaching the climax. i'm like ' bruh ... you can't do this to me 😭 ! ' aha

My personal weatherman 8/10, pretty good score seeing as it followed Khemjira.

I have. It's so bad buddy coded and I loved the first episode.

Totally!

Yes it’s very cute

Mr. P

thank you for all the Domundi names. I actually got some wrong. I hope I get a chance to know the actors I’m unfamiliar with as everyone else has been so great.

i am also very hopeful for their upcoming shows as they have been so impressive thus far this year. I did see a video about how they are riding in value as a company financially because of how well they’ve been doing even before Khemjira. I’ll see if I can find the video. There’s also one about how they started as a bunch of you tubers. Interesting.

edit:

here’s the video about the history of Domundi. This came out between your sky and your sky of us.

Just popping in to say hi 👋

I might be without electricity and internet for a while considering Jamaica's current predicament - direct landfall of major Hurricane Melissa on Tuesday with hurricane conditions starting tonight all the way until Tuesday's landfall when it will reach extreme levels 😕

However, we shall survive. I just hope utilities will not be out for too long after Melissa passes.

I still have not caught up on The Wicked Game or any of the other BLs I inquired about in my last post.

stay safe rx!!!! i've never experienced a hurricane first hand but they seem so scary. i hope for the best possible outcome for you and your loved ones <3
