I'm sure we've all had a very popular drama that we didn't care for. For me it's such a let down.

Yes! I don't think the 2gether series was all that good, but I still see people talk about it with reverence. 😅 Granted the sequel Still 2gether was better (different director) but not mind blowing. 👐 I think it being released during the pandemic was the main reason for its success. That's my theory anyway.

I’m so with you on 2gether. I just didn’t feel any chemistry between BrightWin. Plus what was with all the boob grabbing. My BL bestie and I joked that it’s the straightest BL ever. I just don’t think they pull off the romance.

Of course I still watched both seasons and it wasn’t horrible, it just didn’t resonate with me emotionally at all.

A rare occasion where Mr. P and I don’t agree. 🤷‍♀️

Ok, my post above combined two responses. I don’t even know how I did that. But I guess it’s possible so I need to figure it out.

I’m so pathetic when it comes to technical prowess. I just don’t have the patience.

Hey, you're not pathetic - more like technical issues is tricky to solve as you can't find the solution as either it is hidden away or there are so many ways be said you don't know the right one

Sorry, I really hate the word pathetic as it is ableist

I still can't partial quote unless on a labtop so you are light-years ahead of me. 😂

just noticed recently that you can use multiple times the quote functionality on your mobile phone. I'm sure it wasn't possible when I joined in March, so it must be part of their latest updates! 🤗🤗🤗

I'm sorry you're so disappointed in the series.

That's the way it goes sometimes. It's just a drama to me, but for the BL actors it's their career and paycheck, so yeah I hope it gets better for them! 🤞

Its six episodes. If I drink enough tequila and 2x it, I should make it though.

I'm betting you won't. You'll need something stronger, perhaps general anesthesia.

The laugh I just let out 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

It was really bad! I watched it by fast forwarding lol

Indie Art Girl:

Duang With You and other disappointments...

This first line cracked me up 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

What is going today 🤣 🤣 🤣 everyone has jokes

Wait are we naming names lol can I go first 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Finished Khemjira :)

Felt like the final fight as a bit odd. She switched so quickly when she has been seeking revenge for over 300 years. That kind of thing takes time, you know? But I guess it was because of her son? Idk..

Also, I low-key panicked when Peem started MOANING??!! My parents keep the volume around 50 (which is pretty loud with our speakers) so I had to act fast and turn it down 😩

Anyway, amazing series!

This is why I wear headphones when watching dramas, you never know what to expect

you mean you finished it?

Flower Boy ep5

I watched it and contrary to last week ep, I didn't feel it at all. I'm somehow losing the mojo with this drama. I'll try and watch it while it's airing but I get upset with Scent character.


The Time of Fever (2024), the series

I landed on this one by accident, and it was good. Typical Korean BL, no big drama, no terrible soundtrack (I'm forever traumatized with Crazy Moo Moo) and only 6 short eps. Perfect!


Your Dear Daddy

I started this one while desperately looking for a BL that I wouldn't drop almost immediately. Made it to ep3, and waiting for the nex eps to air. It's ok: not fantastic, not catastrophic, let's see next week.


What the Duck (2018)

I remember someone commenting on this one, saying the first season was watchable. I gave up on the main story after less than 10 min, and switched almost immediately to Pree's (Mew) story, which was the only reason I even started this show. Let's be honest, after one NC scene and one "dramatic scene supposed to make you cry", I gave up, it was too cringe (and bad) to stand even one more minute. Not even sure I'll add it to my Dropped list as I wasn't even able to watch one complete episode.


Non BL

On another note I'm still sticking to Tokyo Holiday and after a lot of suffering I finished ep7. Gosh it's boring! Only doing it for science, as a Foreign Languages student, and Gulf's accent when speaking Japanese and English. The dialogues are so poor I can understand everything without even checking the subtitles (my level in Japanese is A0 but as poor Gulf is endlessly repeating the same sentences again and again, I got used to it).

And the surprise of this week is My Royal Nemesis, for the super cool and badass FL! Can't wait for next week eps (again on Friday and Saturday)

Go for it. I'll go after u! 🤣
