BL Drama Lovers Club

is it true that JoongDunk's new series will be on Netflix?

I loved ep 5 tonight of Me and Thee, lots of great moments. Some cute moments with William & Est also. A really nice close to the episode with the first kiss between Thee & Peach out on the ocean.

Day 12: Something good that happened to you this year

1. I got a car and am working on getting over my fear of driving. I drove to school and back (2 and half hr drive) without taking backroads. Still working on driving places that I'm not familiar with, but I'm very proud of the progress I'm making!!
2. Working on my health journey and have so far lost 20 pounds!
3. Deconstructing myself of the Christian religion that has caused me so much heartbreak. A journey for sure, but I'm sleeping better at night, lol.

Day 13: Favorite Korean BL of 2025

Love in the Big City (My review here: https://kisskh.at/profile/unpopular/review/423810)

I know this came out last year, but I didn't watch until earlier this year. LITBC was not BL, it was actual queer storytelling, A brilliant series, if you have not seen it, GO WATCH IMMEDIATELY !

i just finished the wicked game and i'm ngl i was a little disappointed in this one. i loveee daou and offroad and their chemistry was amazing as always. but the production just seemed kinda subpar to me. and i think the writing could have been a bit better. but daou and offroad both looked gorgeous the whole time so i really can't complain too much lol. and tbh i've been in kind of a bad mood lately so i think that's also influencing my experience with it 

for anyone else that watched it, what did you think? i hope others were able to enjoy it more than i did 😅

I thought the cast was great but the story was disappointing. It was meant to be more complex and less over the top, but it almost turned into a farce. My friend and I kept joking about Chet freaking out every episode. And honestly everyone did not need to die in the end.

Oh such a good episode. I didn’t want it to end!

Day 13: Favorite Korean BL of 2025   The rating is low, but I'm such a sucker for second chance love in dramas, so I choose Business as Usual with all its misunderstandings, "I'll leave now before you leave me" insecurity and opposites attract tropes.

I still need to watch this one.  (One of the nice things about KBLs is that, unlike Thai BLs, one can usually knock them off in 2-3 hours.) Thanks for the nudge!

I personally find it hard to imagine second-chance love, but that's more because I moved a lot in the first half of my life. If I still lived where I grew up and went to school, could this have happened later in life? Interesting to think about.

I finally got around to finishing Flirt Milk. It was a nice, cozy and clean show.

I really enjoyed it, too. Yeah, it was a bit of a trainwreck, but the cute and endearing kind of trainwreck.

Day 13: Favorite Korean BL of 2025

FC Soldout

Somehow I overlooked this one when reviewing my 2025 titles. It doesn't change my answer ("Secret Relationships" p. 2462) - but yes, "FC Soldout" was a fun, cute watch, with a distinctly different vibe from other KBLs.  I loved it!

 Indie Art Girl:

The Boyfriend S2 is coming Jan 13! A Japanese dating show.

I'm especially looking forward to this as something different to watch. I'm not usually a fan of reality shows, but S1 was engaging and generally well done.

Speaking of "The Boyfriend", did anyone else notice that Usak (from S1) has an uncredited cameo role in "Chosen Home"? 

 iota:

i would love to watch something with older (than usual) MLs.

"Chosen Home" (currently airing on Netflix) has older MLs (the older of the two is 50!). I don't know if it's your cup of tea, but I think it's excellent - not only as a nice, gentle slice-of-life watch but also for its sensitive treatment of themes such as discrimination, homophobia, aging, sexism, etc.

 Indie Art Girl:

I haven't spammed in a while so...here's another post to make up for it.

Looks like Cosmetic Playlover S2 might be out on Christmas Day. Actually MDL has 2 dates, 12/25/2025 and 12/26/2026, lol.  I pick this year.

The Boyfriend S2 is coming Jan 13! A Japanese dating show.

I didn't know that there will be a season 2 of The boyfriend i really liked the first season thank you for telling us

Oh such a good episode. I didn’t want it to end!

This was so good i like every episode more than the previous one if it's like that until the end it will become my first bl with a rating of 10/10 and this episode was the favourite of Pond and I understand him I enjoyed every second of it.
