a very upsetting day.

Oh no that is upsetting and a difficult time. I hope you have other family or neighbors nearby to help you manage for a bit. I'm sending positive vibes your way. 💓🙏 💓🙏 💓

I can't remember who suggested See You After Quarantine? but thank you! I thought it was cute and fun! I liked that it was a short series too.

. I'll be honest the only drama with TutorYim as the mains I have seen is Jack and Joker and I dropped that and only finished as i needed it for the BL watch challenge and I couldnt find any drama to replace it with.

TutorYim weren't in Jack and Joker. Are you maybe confusing them with YinWar?

I kind of have no major expectations for ChermChay and will give it a chance anyway. I think the last thing i saw TutorYim in was battle of the writers, which i did not like that much.They have nice chemistry but they need to pick better stories in general😭

Yep, I'm confusing the 2 couples, no wonder I struggled to recognise them because I haven't watched any of their dramas

Does Cherm Chey also have AI generated pics and so, like Peach Lover?

I'm not sure if I can trust Copy A Bangkok any more with this...

If no, I might give it a try.

Mr. P

I really love your version of the ChermChey synopsis. Thank you for getting me to laugh out loud on what was otherwise a very upsetting day.

Also thanks for clarifying where they were, because I knew I wasn’t Japan but otherwise couldn’t figure it out.

I am grateful once again for BLs and the BL fan community for providing a great escape.

(My mother-in-law has terminal cancer and is starting to go downhill. Probably because of this, my fibromyalgia decided I hadn’t experienced enough back pain over the past two months and I got a horrible pain flare up all over my body. In helping me when my back was injured, my spouse threw out their back as well. So our house is full of complaints and tears. And mess, since neither of us can bend over right now to throw out delivery boxes or load the dishwasher. Ugh.)

I feel you on all of this right now. I called into work today because my father had open heart surgery right after his 3rd heart attack and because of this war (dont get me started on American politics) I didnt have the money to fly out and see him, but a kind nurse was able to give me updates. At the same time my oh so helpful mother was cleaning my bathroom when she busted a pipe in the shower and I had to call an emergency plumber so any money I did have is now gone.

My watch list is really the only thing keeping the stress down low.

I hope everyone on your end can find some healing days ahead. I know there is no cure for cancer but I hope your MIL can have a pain free life for the time she has left.

I think it was me. Glad you liked it.

Thanks for your kind words of support.

Sorry you’re having a hard time too. It’s so hard to accept when family members are ill, even if we have mixed feelings about them. And the US has been a massive dumpster fire for awhile. I try to avoid real news and just look for BL news. I just end worked up and ranting otherwise.

Thanks for your best wishes for my inevitability difficult situation.

Let’s both find solace in BLs and otherwise survive as best we can.

oh, i'm so sorry to hear this. i hope all of you get better soon. i know that coughs and colds are contagious within a household but didn't know backpain is the same. just kidding and hoping to make you smile :) i hope things turn for the better on your end

i hope your father's surgery turns out well. bl is really helping us keep our sanity in these stressful times

Double Helix - episodes 3 & 4

A lot happened in these two episodes.

Lu Feng's character is being portrayed authentically; very much in line with the source material. The toxicity is delicious in a unique way only Chinese BLs is able to manage.

I look forward to the next episode.

It’s such a difficult time to go through. I really hope you both get some moments of rest amid everything. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with all of that at once, but I’m glad BLs and this community can give you even a small place to breathe and escape for a little while. Stay strong ❤️

I need to start on "Double Helix"!

@Dora and @Elemental_Star: Sorry to hear of your troubles. I've had my own share of family deaths and other stuff in the past year or two. It hurts! There's a lot to be said for distracting entertainment (BL or otherwise) and having safe spaces (like this forum) to which you can escape.

It must be hard being far away while your father is going through something so serious. I hope your father’s recovery goes as smoothly as possible. Sending you a lot of strength, and I’m glad your watch list is giving you at least a little comfort right now ❤️
