I have not watched a single episode of any of the airing BLs this week. I have been completely arrested by Why Her?. After 16 episodes, one hour runtime each, I just finished it moments ago. I absolutely loved every single moment.
i enjoyed that as well =D
i think that's what makes this bl drama club different from the bl group, we love bls but can talk abt anything even if it's not bl, like kpop or straight shows =D
Yes indeed!
This is space is more of a community than a mere club or group. While we are strongly BL focused and always aim to keep things BL relevant, we discussed and share so much here. It is because we share so many of our personal stories, our ups and downs, birthday wishes and offer support to each other, a family type atmosphere has been established. There are even in person meet ups happening between members.
There is also the fact that we keep things kind and respectful in how we interact with each other, which makes persons feel free to share their different opinions and beliefs without fear, and oftentimes when you think you are alone in your opinion you find others of like mind that agree with your point.
Indie Art Girl:
Thank u, I did. I fly home later today! Yay meeeee!!!!
I hope you get some rest after your travels back home.
Tiffany:
I really enjoyed reading your insights. I agree with everything you said. It might sound weird, but I feel like I'm enjoying the episode even more now thanks to you.
Great minds think alike.
Glad you are enjoying it.

Today's episode of "Wu" (really good Sky/Nani bromance with dark/supernatural theme) got an unexpected laugh out of me at about 29 minutes because of an incongruously heavy-handed Lactasoy product placement at a really intense moment. Not sure if this was meant to be funny, but I found it so.
(Not BL, but I think Sky/Nani is of interest to many in this group.)
I really liked this episode. I think I might have noticed the product placement but I've been trying to train my mind to overlook them. Seems to be working 😆

Life in Smokey Blue - 9.5 out of 10
Yatara Yarashii Fukami-kun - 6 out of 10
Currently watching Wishing upon the Shooting Stars.
Wishing Upon the Shooting Stars is a 8.5 out of 10 for me. I want to give it a 9 but I feel like I already gave it enough for the amazing kisses and NC scenes. Good intimacy and the chemistry was through the roof. But the plot is annoying. I don't like the supernatural fantasy elements of the show, they're not my cup of tea.
As for Life in Smokey Blue and Yatara Yarashii Fukami-kun, what can I say.. today was last episode of both and I couldn't help but wonder what I'll do with my Tuesdays after today.
I have only two more episodes of The Legend of Kitchen Soldier after all for next week and then nothing for the start of the week.
I think Fukami is a 6 because of all the awkward NC scenes and kisses for a show that was really mostly about that.
While Smokey Blue is a 9.5 and not a full 10 because the pace suffered once in a while and there were some fish kisses. Not all of them were like this but I beg Japanese directors to stop adding fish kisses to their shows. It only makes actors look funny and not like the mature people they are.
Today beside finishing these 3 BLs, I also caught up with Fake Fact Lips which is amazing, really. Chemistry on point and I can't wait for next episodes.
In total I have watched 15 episodes today. After being in drama slump for a while, I can finally watch something. 😊
I would like to think that the ones who are really good actors (and not just cute faces) could progress to dramas about later stages in life, which could be BL or otherwise.
I do think the BL industry is now carving out space for older actors for more mature series. Recently we are seeing more "adult-life" series being made.
I believe because I grew up with BLs, the older I get the more mature series I want. The series I would enjoy when I was 18 and 19 are not the series I crave anymore. Hence, I appreciate series like Payback, Love of Silom (Uncut Ver.), Goddess Bless You from Death, Dare You to Death, and Burnout Syndrome being made. Notwithstanding that, I can enjoy a good Thai university BL for nostalgic value.
It is no coincidence that all those series I named are Thai BLs. Thailand has this obsession with school/university BLs. Other countries tend to diversify. China is in its own league.
I know Secrets Happened on the Litchi Island was appreciated by many. The new BL A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills' Dream from the same creator will be released on Friday 12th. I post about it one or two weeks ago because I loved the poster, now there is new one which I also love.
I have not watched Secrets Happened on the Litchi Island yet. I may just watch it after I wrap up the KDrama I am currently binge watching.
As it relates to A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills' Dream I absolutely agree with you. The trailer is awesome. The music and cinematography captured my attention. I think I will watch as it airs.
An open letter (desperate plea) to @P'Aoftion:
Tutor and Yim will both turn 26 this summer. Their biological clocks are ticking. Please give them a really good, serious, well-written, non-stupid-comedy BL love story drama before they reach their sell-by date.
("ChermChey" has some good moments, but I'm getting really triggered by the incredibly annoying comedy sound effects.)
I agree that they could do with better scripts, editing, and directors that aren't afraid to play to their strengths... but there is no reason why they can't keep serving up what they do best well into their 40s. It isn't like they will magically become undesirable when they turn 30.

What's everyone's view on polygamous relationships.
i have nothing agaisnt it, i do support people consenting and having polygamous relationships, but if its about my own relationship/personality, i prefer a monogamous relationship because my personality fits monogamous more, i just dont see polygamous relationship working out for me. I like commitment,a one to one relationship gives me a sense of stability, id feel more grounded if that make sense, also im an overthinker id be questioning about how much important i'am to the person compared to the rest partners and that will emotionally exhaust me, but also im that person who would pick one person rather than picking many in the same time like i tend to find my eyes on one person.
im probably a bit possessive. the thoughts of my partner flirting with others etc dont sit well with me
What's everyone's view on polygamous relationships.
On a more general level, if it makes everyone in the relationship happy and there are clear boundaries and open communication in place than I think it's just as alright as being in a monogamous relationship. I generally think everyone should have to freedom to choose what kind of romantic or intimate relationships they are in, as long as all parties involved are on the same page.
Personally not for me though, bc I don't think I would have the mental and emotional capacity to be there for more than one person (coming from someone with 10+ year relationship). I take being in a committed relationship quite seriously, so I don't want to be just partially available to someone I love and care about.

I'm finally going to start High School Frenemy tomorrow so my interest is going to increase.

Exactly I'm glad that we have more diversity now.

The NC scenes were so beautiful 😍 And same I didn't like the supernatural aspect in the show.
Speaking of older BL actors, I see you Max 😏
Stunning photos and I especially love your new profile pic !
What's everyone's view on polygamous relationships.
That's very interesting. I know that different types of polyamorous relationships exist, but I'm not necessarily familiar with all the terms used (such as Vee).
I think that, as you said, if there is good communication, clearly established boundaries, and the consent of everyone involved, it can be very beneficial.
On a more personal level, I don't know whether I could see myself in that kind of relationship, since I've never been in a relationship and I've never really fallen in love (I'm not even sure if that will happen to me one day).
However, I have had multiple crushes at the same time before, so maybe I could be in a polyamorous relationship, but I don't know whether I would actually do it in real life.
To be 100% honest, the biggest issue would probably be my family. They wouldn't see it as something "normal" and would refuse to accept it.

I am the same way when it comes to myself but I am also not against others doing a polygamous relationship. It is just for myself I do not think I would be able to do it either. 💖💕
