BL Drama Lovers Club

I feel a bit dumb. I thought that His man was going to end today so I watch every episode but it's only the end of day 5 for them so now I have to wait every week 🤦‍♀️

I now have two openings on my watch list. I'm planning on The Eclipse for one of them. Still deciding on the 2nd one. Any recs based on what's on my list? I currently have access to YouTube/viki/iqiyi, so as long as it's on one of those, I'm open.

Re Peach and Me: Can we get an episode for each couple? I need a full episode for Mok/Rome getting together! I need it like I need air to breathe!

My recommendations from your list are: Cherry Blossoms After Winter, 4Minutes, CherryMagic, and ABO Desire. Im not sure if you can get desire on Viki, though, and it was taken off IQIYI. Cherry Magic isn’t streaming legally anywhere, so I watched it on Daily Motion. Cherry Magic and Cherry Blossoms are both sweet love stories with low stress. Desire has story flaws but I thought the actors made it more than worth it. 4Minutes is amazing but radically different than any other BL I’ve seen. It has incredibly intense and explicit NC scenes, a dramatic and complex plot, and some heart wrenching twists and turns. So worth it but maybe not at the same time as the Eclipse, which tends to the serious side, but is excellent. As soon as I saw First and Khao together, I’m like no wonder they became a long-term pairing!

hope that helps. Ask me if you have more questions or want trigger warnings or spoilers. (You have some great straight dramas on your list too. Cinderella and the Four Knights and Coffee Prince are both sweet and fun! theyre classics fea reason!)

oh I forgot to mention 10Dance. To me this is a must watch! I have a long review about the movie and its tribute to previous dance movies. I can share again after you watch.

Is Love Alert a toxic BL? by toxic i mean either of the following:

• overly jealous or possessive protagonist
• manipulative, lying, or abusive protagonist (to his partner)
• committing crimes that could blowback on partner

I thought so too...it's even got today's date for the last ep on the drama page. I wonder what's up?

While I was there I noticed out of 4 seasons this season got the lowest rating out of the 4.

what ep did you drop it? i think ep 1 and 2 were a bit messy as it was reshot?

I stopped after EP 5. Yeah Mr. P posted a vid link that helps explain what happened. I don't have that now. But my understanding  from that vid is they actually did almost the WHOLE week together before it came about that a reshoot would have to be done. 

That and other things really bothered me enough to just give it up. I was getting really annoyed and bored to tears watching many of the guys being bored, hanging out doing NOTHING, LOL.

lol. the producers need to be creative to do activities that would engage the boys but not trigger more competition like what i saw in the previous season, which made me not want to watch the succeeding seasons anymore. korea's culture is already very competitive, they need to do bonding activities, not competition

I forgot a takeaway from the DMD Friendship Reality show I wanted to share.

One of the guys, Porsche, said smth almost kinda off-hand in EP 5 after the pairings were revealed, but really stuck with me.
