I couldn't find an MDL page...of course.Indie Art Girl:
Love X Mini Series- Roommates in Love (1/6 couple stories) Release date: 1/31/2026
Now it's added: https://kisskh.at/804912-love-x-mini-series-roommates-in-love
This reality series starts tomorrow but it's been lowkey about it. From Star Hunter
Buddy Boys
Last month's teaser left me ambivalent. I'll probably give it a try, but with low expectations.
maybe others have new BL dramas coming I didn't mention above
I have two other February releases on my list:
"Boy Next World": Gaga, JBL remake (with Shoma!) starting Feb. 1
"Tide Of Love S2": Gaga/iQiyi starting Feb. 4
plus supposedly also “Smile After Tears” (Taiwan + Mainland) sometime in February. I don't yet see anything on MDL, but it looks promising!
March is really low on new titles, at least atm!
True, but "Contrast" (see my post at top of p. 2571) looks promising.
p43425:
My schedule for today:
(1) Now watching ep. 3 of "Countdown to Yes" (JBL on Gaga), which I really like so far. It moves around over a ten-year period (2015 - 2025), so one has to pay attention to the dates as they're displayed.
(2) Ep. 2 of "Peach Lover" (very steamy Copy A on iQiyi), too soon to judge but Poom Nuttapart is a cutie-patootie, and that's good enough for me.
(3) Ep. 2 of "Cat for Cash" ... and since I'm paying for Gaga, I'll watch it there without the Youtube adverts, of course!... plus potential binge-watch of "Checkered Shirt S2" (final episode coming out today). While S1 wasn't brilliant, I enjoyed seeing the actors from "Blossom Campus" and "My Damn Business" - and of course, that abrupt ending left me waiting for S2.
Now I’m looking forward to Tuesday!

i was so into Heated Rivalry that I have now purchased and read all the books in the series. I was able to buy them through my Kindle app and i love them all. It starts with Game Changer which gives a really good understanding of Kip and Scott's story. Shane and Ilya get two whole books - Heated Rivalry and The Long Game
Thank you I want to read them in English and paper not my native language so maybe it will not be easy to have them.I will probably ask the first one for my birthday.

It's interesting Shoma is going to do for the second time the remake japanese version of a character played by Boss ( love in the air been the first) It's the first time I'm seeing this situation.

i had started the book but started with a new job, which entails lots of reading, so i end up not being able to read my books, boohoo :( one day soon, while things get settled at work, i'll finish heated rivalry and to my storm books
Does anyone know why japanese dramas/bl have so few watchers. I looked on a page (https://kisskh.at/798830-just-a-bit-espers) and this is on netflix but has so few people watching it (700 people)K-Dramafan21:
I don't think there's a single or simple answer to this, but one reason could be that Japanese productions tend to be geared toward the domestic rather than international market and in quite a few cases don't even bother with international subtitles.

maybe it just depends on the show? LITA https://kisskh.at/776203-love-in-the-air-koi-no-yokan has almost 7k viewers

My thoughts too. 😊

Yep. Neither title made my Feb list, lol. I didn't like the org Boy Next World so not expecting much from Japan either. If everyone's gaga over it then I'll think about watching.
supposedly also “Smile After Tears”
I saved this title on my non-MDL page list. I have hopes for this one!

That's one of two March titles I have. The other is Love Like a Bike. Lots of time for more to come!

I could answer from the POV of a viewer that watches Japanese dramas the least out of all the top Asian countries. Of course, imo only.
First though, I have enjoyed many JBLs so I keep an open mind whenever a new JBL comes out. At the same time if the BL is like many straight romance J-dramas with over the top acting, childish or slapstick humor, etc then I'm out. I won't watch it. They do have lots of unique story ideas though.
It might be my imagination, but compared to Korea or China, the role of women in (romance genre) J-dramas is even more subservient to men. I'm speaking generally.
Unless it's a BL, J-dramas aren't even on my radar anymore.
To Mr. P's point, I feel like Japan isn't as inclusive when it comes to international audiences and subtitles. I see it all the time with their partnership with K-pop companies. They know very well fans are all over the world but it's their choice to keep it exclusive to their country fanbase.
Feels the same with their dramas. I rarely see a trailer for a J-drama, or any adverts. And almost never with subs. The times I've been interested in watching smth I can't find it anywhere, so it's not worth my time. They make it too much work, lol. I even deleted those titles from my PTW list.
