And contrary to my impression of you as a neat and orderly type of person.

Nope, it's a facade, a ruse, a fake. My house is a even more of a Jackson Pollack than my watch list. (No offense to the late great Jackson Pollack!)

I had a rare random day off today and if anyone is curious, I have been watching my airing dramas since 9:30 am and it is now 20:45 and I still have 1 more drama to watch before I can officially say I finished for the day. 😭 Fridays are insane. Normally I would be working so most of this would have been spread over the week.

Lol

@Art Girl

Love of Silom involves some pretty serious crime, though none shown explicitly yet. But it looks like the crime part may get more intense as it goes on. Hard to say whether the love story will be sweet and/or explicit, but UpPoom are both great as actors and as a couple.

Flower Boy was really fun and interesting so far. I liked PearlPeak in Love in the Moonlight and the show is already serving more of their great chemistry with episode 1. There will clearly be some lying and manipulation but it looks like it won’t be so much because a character is toxic as because they are in a difficult situation. I haven’t watched episode 2 yet because it’s still Friday in California. It comes out on saturdays.

Fake Fact Lips started as a silly rivals-to-lovers set up with what looks like will be a lot of fun flirting, teasing, and sex. I haven’t watched today’s episode 2 yet. In this show’s favor: the beautiful Sato Yusuke.

I haven’t yet started the other show you mentioned.

@Art Girl

Dora’s description is really good. I would like to add the difference in episode length, which might help you make a choice.

Love of Silom has episodes that are more than an hour long, Flower Boy is approximately 45 minutes for the first episode, and Fake Fact Lips is around 25 minutes.

@Mr. P

I’m always relieved when someone else admits their home isn’t orderly. My wife is an artist (painter and photographer) so our walls are beautifully decorated, but otherwise we are overflowing with far too much stuff, including Lego sets everywhere, as my wife is an avid collector. We also have way too many books.

@RX

never give up hope for love. My first relationship wasn’t until my twenties and I didn’t get married until my late 30s. I’m neither “cool” nor “hot,” I talk way too much for most people, and I tend to be “overly assertive.” Lol. But as my spouse said when I told them I loved their “in-between” gender, (now calling themselves nonbinary), there is someone out there for everyone. It’s hard to find, but it’s worth looking.

For those who don’t want to look, are happy as they are, or simply can’t get over whatever issues are keeping you single, that’s also your prerogative. There shouldn’t be any shame in being single, only in living with too much regret. As long as you are satisfied with your decisions in life, that’s what matters. That’s not to say all choices are open to us, but I recommend not closing yourself off completely to things you want but don’t think you can have. Because you never know where life will take you.

Of course I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with escaping into BLs (or any other dramas or stories/books). I have a wonderful spouse but an otherwise difficult life because of chronic mental and physical health problems. If BLs can help get us through, bring them on!

It’s late where I am and I’m clearly starting to ramble. I will save my thoughts on Sammy’s Children’s Day for tomorrow.

@Indie Art Girl

Feel What You Feel: the first episode gives away that is suppose to be a sad ending, I'm waiting for the last episode to see if its 'cry your eyes out' or bittersweet, but episodes are around 30 minutes and the second couple are too cute. And this drama is the perfect showcase of how to write an endearing clueless character without making them an actual idiot. (I'm still bitter over Dating Game for that)

Love of Silom: This is quickly becoming my favorite of all that I'm watching, and might even beat out Sammy's Children's Day (mainly because SCD sets up for a season 2 so it feels incomplete). There is a lot of sexual stuff right off the bat and fight scenes, but I'm watching the uncut version so I don't know how different edited it is.

Flower Boy: I watched the first episode 3 times because I kept getting kind of distracted 😅 Its hard to tell with 1 episode but I feel like this will either be terrible or average. Dont remember how long it was though.

Fact Fake Lips: two guys who obviously are attracted to each other play gay chicken... the tv series. So I love it. Sex is a given but tastefully done and probably future angst. Its about 30 minutes per episode so far too.

Contrast : It was really good.

Glad you liked it (so that my credibility isn't destroyed!).

Indie Art Girl:

everyone's watch list (except for Mr. P's, it's a disaster)

I'm proud of my massive mess. I consider myself the Jackson Pollock of watch lists.

To my fellow Yin & War fans:

There's a newly airing vertical series on social media entitled "My Staycation Boy". It's an advert (for a hotel or something like that) with not much story so far, but it's Yin & War, which is good enough for me!

I'm watching it on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@argentis_th
but supposedly it's also on other social media (Argentis channel).

Will be watching this thank you ☺️

Oh really?!? That's funny. 😆

I don't have space for stuff or messes. I live in a barely one bedroom studio, but a nice one. Everything has a home. The only place a mess is allowed is the art table.

Well my new huge suitcase doesn't have anywhere to go. It's almost as big as me. I bought it just before my last trip, since I thought I was going to be away for quite a while. I have nowhere to put it so it's in the trunk of my car. It's a tight squeeze. Like nothing else will fit unless it goes in the suitcase. I misjudged the size a bit. 💀

I'm afraid to use it again cuz I literally almost fell head first going down the airport escalator trying to steady the luggage and myself on the moving steps. The flight attendant behind me said she experienced PTSD watching me after that actually happened to someone in the past. Lucky for me it was a good day.

I think I know which one I'm watching! But what is "gay chicken"?

Dora's description is accurate - but I would just add that the style and comedy is normal, not the OTT manga-style comedy that you so dislike. Maybe give it a try and see if it's for you.

Indie Art Girl:

what is "gay chicken"?

A dare between two competitive, alpha-type guys who don't identify (yet) as gay.

Today I finished Contrast, the JBL that was currently airing on Friday. Yesterday I finished Sammy's Children's Day so I had to take a break after all those episodes (had to catch up from ep 5 - ep 9).

I don't know about you guys but JBL doesn't hit as much as it used to. This one, Contrast, was okay. But that's just it, only "okay" doesn't inspire a lot of feelings in me. I gave it an 8 out of 10... could go lower.

I think Chinese BLs are the best out of the genre altogether. What do you guys think?

Any good Chinese BLs you could recommend? (They're all good, I'm sure).

omg I started Burnout Syndrome! P'Nuchy's work is stunning, everything about this is amazing. P'Gun too, Jira is a cool character! Aahh <3
