Soooo I'm wondering how it's going with Burnout Syndrome. Is it too early to ask for thoughts from the members here watching it?

I've been a OffGun fan for forever!

I really like it. It has such a good quality. Story wise it is written good but I have to wait for next week to give a real thought to it. The preview looks promising and I hope the rest of the show is as good as it looks right now because it could be that all the good story is just in the first episodes but I don't think it will be like that.

Thanks! Sometimes the beginning is really different from the middle or the ending. I hope it's good throughout!

2025 Dec BL Challenge- Day 4: Favorite Chinese Drama of 2025

It's the first time I've watch so many Chinese BLs : 8 so far, and I'm waiting for To my shore to end to binge it.

Secrets happened on the litchi island really stood out for me, although ABO Desire and Revenged love were good as well.

Only 2 episodes are out so it's hard so say for sure but this far it's promising. Great quality, good writing and plot is interesting. It's captivating, thrilling and the tension between leads is there. I've been waiting for a more mature and sensual drama for OffGun, this it exactly it. Off, Gun and Dew are all nailing it with their acting. Dialogues feel natural. Their characters are fascinating. They all look divine too especially Dew with those glasses. It feels different from other gmmtv bls which it refreshing. It has a bit of same vibe with Only Friends but more elegant/elite.

As a fellow OffGun fan, I recommend to give it a chance. Just be prepared for its serious and intense vibe rather than fluffy and cheerful.

I started episode one with no expectations and wow! what a great start. I am all for it. I am already shipping Jira and Pheem although knowing OffGun are the pairing spoils it a little for the future but I am hooked. I promised myself I would try to wait for a series to be finished before starting it but I really didn't think i would like this one so much

Definitely Revenged Love for me. I loved it so much. ABO Desire is a close second but i had to read the book to properly understand the show

I'm all caught up on Me and Who, and ready for the final episode tomorrow night. Just finished ep 9, and I'm an emotional wreck. What a great episode, and what a twist too. This has been such a fantastic series. I adore Big & Park so much. Mandee has been killin it this year.

Thanks for your thoughts! I haven't seen Only Friends. I really liked OffGun in Not Me but I sense this drama is different than that one. I'll wait until more eps are out and hear more before starting it. 😊

I take it you're paying for "fast track". Me? I'm patient (and a tightwad), so I'll just wait another week. But yeah, I love this series, too! Park is such a cutie-patootie.

BL Challenge Day 5: Ship you were most sad about ending in 2025

I don't get sad about ships ending, even the ones I like. Firstly, I view it as "creative destruction", i.e. the actors (if they stay in BL) may go on to a new and possibly better pairings, and secondly, even if my heart is a bit sad, my head believes in respect for the actors and their right to self-determination. To me, that comes first. If they want to move on (whether to a new pairing or to non-BL or to music or whatever else), I wholeheartedly wish them the best.

But it's still interesting to reflect on which ships ended in 2025 and what's happened since. The ones that come to mind are Mean/Ping and Jeff/Barcode (with both Ping and Barcode having moved to GMMTV), Great/Inn, Marc/Poon (which wasn't really working anyways), and of course the inter-agency mess involving Smart/Boom. What others am I missing?

ETA: It seems that the end of Ohm Pawat/Leng was officially announced in 2025, but I count that as 2024 (if it ever was even meant to be an ongoing CP).

Challeng Day 5 - Ships you were most sad about ending

I haven't really had a deep connection to the pairings yet because I haven't watched bls that long but with Saint/Poom I felt it right after. I am not really sad but it was a good ship I think.

 K-Dramafan21:
Saint/Poom

Which reminds me: I still need to watch "My Sweetheart Jom", which really sounds like something for me.

Any recommendations for a Japanese BL in 2025?
