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
I watched wooju bakery. It’s only enjoyable as camp—satire. If you take it seriously it’s just weird and bad. Also those guys who speak English are Filipino idols. lol.
there are filipinos in the cast? i should revisit 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 know :) just saying i admire him for being able to speak korean in that series :) i think it's just weird for a series to talk to each other in different language and pretend they're speaking the same language, so i admire him that he was able to "communicate" in korean language with the korean actors in some (most?) scenes

The Gaze: Payoff not worth the watch 🙅♀️
were you able to finish this? i dropped this at ep 6 or 7, cant take it anymore lol
I'm Tee, Me Too: Not BL (even though its in my thai bl journal 😡) but a very good drama nonetheless. Cast is the holy trinity couples of GMM gen 1 so maybe someone got confused.
I liked this one it was short and simple but good
Wishing Upon The Shooting Stars (spoiler free): I kind of ruined my own viewing experience because I was absolutely exhausted while watching and had trouble focusing. Because of that, I kept hitting the 10-second skip button whenever my attention drifted, which resulted in me missing some important information about the fantasy side of the story. At that point, I was honestly too lazy to go back and figure out what I'd missed.
I also have to admit that neither the main couple nor the fantasy plot really grabbed my attention. On the other hand, I was completely invested in the second couple and found myself looking forward to their scenes the most.
One thing I absolutely have to mention is how beautiful the NC scenes were. The cinematography was stunning, and the shift in color grading during those scenes was especially gorgeous.
Drama Update
Thanks. Interesting to hear your mini-feedback, the vast majority of which I've not seen or started yet.
Check Out: Not as bad as I was expecting, but definitely not good.
I've not watched this famously bad BL, but this is probably the most positive review I've seen, haha.
Be Mine Superstar: A surprise joy. Still average but I liked it.
Glad you liked it, too.
Lately, It's WInter Season: might be my favorite story of them all honestly! And the latest episode explains the title and I melted
Yes, good story and development, plus also many cutie-patooties. And yes, interesting to finally get the connection to the title.
The Summer You Kissed Me: shocked by how compelling this is!!
I haven't watched yet, but some of the Secret Of Us productions have been quite good, as low-budget indies sometimes are.
(#1) When Oranges Fall: 🔥 perfect!
This is the next one I need to start! (This past week was busy, but starting tomorrow I should have more time.)
Wishing Upon A Shooting Star: This has been my favorite taiwan BL I have ever watched. 💯
watching it right now and I love it! But The Promise of the Soul remains my fav taiwanese BL.
Crazy Love, MooMoo: Earth is my part of this dreadful show. 😒
I thought I was the only one finding it boring, happy to see we share the same idea. And yes, Earth was the only ray of sunshine in this show. Still have ep 5 to watch, I'll most probably drop after.
Fake Fact Lips: standout JBL of the year so far.
yes!
Your Dear Daddy: so far, an easy, sweet watch.
same here!
It feels like we are in synch! Except that I didn't watch a third of what you watched in the last days ;-)
Coolstarss:Episode 10 of "Time, Space & Matter", which I understand to be the final episode, has now posted to the Thann Thailand channel on Tiktok and other social media. It's an advert vertical micro-series with only the faintest hint of a story, but it's got Keng, Namping and some beautiful Thai costumes. If you're as insanely crazy about either or both of them as me, you might enjoy it.

I generally like the popular boy + nerd boy trope
I like this trope too I would like to see more BL with this trope.
It seems like there are a few JBL with this trope that I liked :
Takara-kun & Amagi-kun
My Beautiful Man
School Trip: Joined a Group I’m Not Close To
Punks Triangle
Someone has other recommendations ?

I do love promise of the soul too. I'm glad other people love that drama. And I watch most at 1.5x to 2x speed with the exception of most of my top 10. 😅

I love all four of those titles!
Have you seen "Secret Crush On You"? I don't see it on your watch list. It starts as a cringe comedy but gets better and better. It's not for everyone, but I really liked it, so you probably would, too.
I think you've already seen my other favourite BLs with the popular boy + nerd boy trope that immediately come to my mind: "Fish Upon The Sky", "I Will Knock You" and "Takara's Treasure" (although this last one is more country mouse + city mouse, which is another and somewhat similar trope that I really love, e.g. "Eighth Sense").

I LOVED all of these! Plus I agree with all the ones Mr. P recommended! And Takara’s Treasure has Iwase Yoji, whom I find riveting to watch. He is not just beautiful but really has star quality.
