Happy birthday dora

Thanks. How have you been? What are you watching?

RXinw:

I am currently taking a break from binge watching BL series. I am currently only watching the airing series.

In the meantime I am binge watching Why Her? and then I am going to watch Perfect Crown. Not sure what my watch plan will be after that.

My Royal Nemesis? It's a 10/10 for me.

Indie Art Girl:
All is good though except the airlines damaged my luggage beyond repair.

Sorry to hear that! Safe travels!

So I'm kind of irritated because I don't know who put together my Thai BL journal, but this is like the third time I've come across a listed series that is not a BL. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Well, at least this time the drama is good.

I don't think I've ever seen the Friday release schedule so full.

Just today:
"Love Class S3" (EP4,Gaga/Viki) - KBL 7.6 (average MDL rating)
"Love Upon A Time" (EP11, iQiyi) - Net/JJ 8.3
"Fake Fact Lips" (EP7, Gaga) - JBL 8.1
"A Dog & A Plane" (EP2,Gaga/Viki) - Tay/New 8.0
"Double Helix" (EP9, Gaga/Viki) - CBL 8.2
"Love Of Silom"(EP8, WeTV) - Poom/Up 8.5
"Lost To You" (EP6, Gaga) - CBL via Singapore 8.1
"Journey With You" (EP6, Gaga) - CBL 8.0
new start: "The Lie We Lived In" (EP1, Viki) - KBL

I'm keen on all to varying degrees but am only watching the first three. I'll add the next three as soon as I have some capacity.

Two more things are striking about this list:
(1) Gagaoolala is carrying six of the nine. I love my Gaga!
(2) All but "Love Class S3" and the new start have average MDL ratings of 8.0 or higher.

Regarding "Love Class S3", I'm quite enjoying it. The timeline is very jumpy, but the story is simple, so that's alright. Considering that three of the four leads are novice actors, they're good - although I can imagine that idols (or idol trainees) have a significant advantage in playing the role of an idol, haha.

(As I've noted before, "Love Class S3" has virtually nothing to do with the prior two seasons, so it's unimportant whether you've already seen S1 and/or S2.)

I agree with you on this. I have been liking it so far. I do keep getting the characters confused a bit because of the jumpy timeline though.

i wish there's a search feature for specific threads lol. i knew there were some who has watched wooju bakery. i watched up to 3 episodes before raising the white flag. i wish jeff and barcode would star in another series that's just purely thai and not thai-korean and with better story. though i admire barcode for being able to speak korean =D

Yesterday I binge-watched one Yumi's cells season 3, today I'm binge watching Wishing Upon... it's nice to switch sometimes.

And to make it even more BL related

JN Yu and Kagami Kota

I watched wooju bakery. Itโ€™s only enjoyable as campโ€”satire. If you take it seriously itโ€™s just weird and bad. Also those guys who speak English are Filipino idols. lol.

Loads of people are able to speak multiple languages. I'm sure barcode isn't the only Thai actor able to speak Korean

I likewise watched it to the end. Ditto to what Dora said. It's also fun to see Jeff and Barcode, even if the series is a total trainwreck.

Drama Update

Dramas completed

The Gaze: Payoff not worth the watch ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ

I Am Your King season 2: Average BL with ambiguous ending.

Check Out: Not as bad as I was expecting, but definitely not good. Ep 0 is amazing though! If that was a stand alone short drama it would have been a high 7.

Be Mine Superstar: A surprise joy. Still average but I liked it.

I'm Tee, Me Too: Not BL (even though its in my thai bl journal ๐Ÿ˜ก) but a very good drama nonetheless. Cast is the holy trinity couples of GMM gen 1 so maybe someone got confused.

Triage: I immensely enjoy the plot (9/10). The chemistry between the couple is almost non existent though. IMO ๐Ÿ‘

Wishing Upon A Shooting Star: This has been my favorite taiwan BL I have ever watched. ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Currently watching (top 10 with a runner up <- this was hard)

Naughty Babe: surprisingly better than cutie pie, but the plot is still fake amnesia compiled with real amnesia.

(#7) A Dog and a Plane: This is still making me laugh. ๐Ÿ˜‚ It's so chaotic but completely works!

Backdoor: first ep was good but the second is behind a yt membership ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ I'll wait until the whole drama is out and see.

Check in to You: Very campy so I like. Is it good? Not really ๐Ÿ˜…

(Runner up) ChermChey: their chemistry is no joke and I love them. Donโ€™t know how to feel about the plot yet.

Crazy Love, MooMoo: Earth is my part of this dreadful show. ๐Ÿ˜’

Double Helix: Still enjoying it, but I feel like something is off. ๐Ÿค”

(#8) Fake Fact Lips: standout JBL of the year so far.

Flower Boy: Average ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

(#4) Journey With You: historical chinese BL with rebirth trope and a sex scene!... must be my birthday ๐Ÿฅฐ

(#6) Lately, It's WInter Season: might be my favorite story of both series! And the latest episode explains the title and I melted ๐Ÿซ  ๐Ÿ˜

Life In Smokey Blue: very down to earth, emotional drama that is very beautiful.

(#5) Lost To You: chemistry โœ”๏ธ emotional โœ”๏ธ underwater kiss โœ”๏ธ ๐Ÿฅฐ

Love Class 3: enjoying, but could be better.

(#3) Love of Silom: Still rocking it!

Love Upon A Time: this is a love hate for me. I have issues with how the plot is done, but overall I still have a soft spot for it.

Magic Move: not going exactly how I hoped the plot would go. I think it's now taking itself too seriously.

One Year: kind of enjoying it more now than when I first started it. Still wouldn't classify it as good.

(#2) Payback: that first episode is still a knock out. Eagerly awaiting for Saturday!

(#10) Smile After Tears: I love it, but it's going to hurt before (hopefully) getting better. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

The Boy and I Who Will Break Up in 100 Days: still deciding. Second ep was better than the first.

(#9) The Lie We Lived In: potential to be my favorite Korean BL this year. ๐Ÿคž

The Boyfriend Express: an entire episode where ML is wearing nothing but an apron and underwear ๐Ÿคฃ love it.

The Summer You Kissed Me: shocked by how compelling this is!! Hopefully ends up on gaga like their other series because this is becoming my favorite of their dramas.

(#10) Ticket to Heaven: Gemini/Fourth totally sell this. I wouldn't want anyone else playing their characters.

Unexpectedly Naughty Fukami: i find this hilarious, okay. His inner thoughts get me rolling.

(#1) When Oranges Fall: ๐Ÿ”ฅ perfect! No words can describe the cuteness. If it was an ice cream flavor, it would be my favorite.

Your Dear Daddy: so far, an easy, sweet watch.

That's it for the BLs I think (almost missed one on a review). Now off to watch all my other series ๐Ÿคญ

p43425:
(1) Gagaoolala is carrying six of the nine. I love my Gaga!

I actually decided to subscribe like a couple months ago because i realized how much new content they actually have that i want to watch. Their catalogue is kind of worth paying for these days.
