BL Drama Lovers Club

Waaaaah, it's me whining again. 😳

I submitted a new title "A Sudden Kiss After the Night Shift" and it got approved, including a translated summary. I was really looking forward to it but... it's DUBBED in English, like narrated I guess?

I'm so disappointed. I can't even watch it. So yeah, waaaah, lol.

Gabster:

This is just a thought but what about Arm and Porsch?

A great choice! Maybe they could really bring real life experience too!

RE: Love of Silom - 💀

• This series is a disappointment in regards to the drastic fall in quality from My Stand-In to this.

6/10

jazme:

definitely a far cry from my stand-in.

Portugalia67:

unfortunately nothing remarkable to expect here.

Portugalia67:

I agree with you, it's not worth your time.

Unique_rain:

I rated it 5/10 overall

Portugalia67:

ouchhhh that's painful,

This is not good news. I feel so bad for Up! I'm taking it off my list. Partly cuz of the overwhelmingly bad reviews, but I also don't like watching a good story turn into smth bad part way through. That makes it even more disappointing for me. Aaaand I'm not into police/crime stuff that much anyways. I'll wait for Up's next drama!

Portugalia67:

yes with Yin & War.

I added it to my YT watch later list!

Re: a Winter Sun - I started ep1 out of curiosity and stayed stuck for 3 eps back to back without any break. The first episodes were just so good (cinematography, soundtrack, photography, plot/story, the two main actors are hot as hell, and even though there is not a single NC scene in the first 3 eps, it's fire everywhere).

Isn't it?!?!

I haven't seen EP 6 yet so I didn't read the spoilers here. I'll watch it today. I've been focused on finishing a historical c-drama and only have one ep left! Yipee!

I'm looking at ep. 1 on Youtube (Nooto channel, i.e. official): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DayMqT07icQ It seems normal, i.e. Japanese audio with English subtitles.

In any case, thanks for getting it listed! 👍

Keep waiting for a bit more (if you can) so you can enjoy watching more episodes.

It reminded me when I started Sammy's children's day, and watched the first 6 episodes in one go - what a pleasure!

binge-watching a lot of eps in one go is indeed a pleasure, another reason why i prefer to wait until a series is almost or already done before starting on it =D

Portugalia67:

unfortunately nothing remarkable to expect here. Better watch Fake Fact Lips ep10 instead, it's much more worth your time.

i haven't started this but will do in the next week most probably

Portugalia67:

still unsure about Life in Smokey Blue.

currently finishing this up. i paused after ep 2 and now i'm in ep 6. it's not a bl per se but more on life. the "l" of bl is not really that present lol

Portugalia67:

I have Fourever You 2 on my list since it started airing but I didn't watch Fourever You yet, so I wanted to start with it first. And as I get easily distracted when series are over 8 eps, I know that watching both seasons in a row is impossible for me. So I endlessly postpone it. A never ending story.

s1 and s2 can be watched separately. you can even watch s2 separately, count the 3 stories as 1 series each. the stories of the 2 couples in s1 though overlaps each other though the first half is mostly for hill-easter while the second half is mostly johan-north. can you watch s2 without watching s1? yes, s1 provides the backstory of the side characters in s2, and it also very briefly introduces the mains in s2. it's a good watch overall, and i know you'll enjoy it once you get to it =D

RXinw:

Love of Silom (Uncut Ver.) - Finale

I am choosing to behave myself tonight, so I will give my comments in two points:

• I take it that Krit would have never chosen Wayu in the end if he had not practically knocked on death's door.

• This series is a disappointment in regards to the drastic fall in quality from My Stand-In to this.

6/10

No long and super interesting review? Just kidding, I agree with you, it's not worth your time. The 6/10 was a bit harsh but I understand the disappointment.

I rated it 5/10 overall

i wonder what mr p rated this, as we're both not stingy with rates =D

I'm still undecided on whether to watch this because of the smoking. (Blech.)

This is accurate, but I would still recommend watching S1 first. Although the three stories in S2 are essentially stand-alone, it's a shared universe, and the background from S1 definitely added to my enjoyment.

(re "Love of Silom") I haven't watched it yet. I like Up and Poom, so I intend to give it an open-minded try, but there's just so much to watch these days. My backlog is getting hopelessly more and more.

I agree with this!

That's another reason I'm not watching it...there's so many others to watch! I can always circle back around anyways!

I submitted a new title "A Sudden Kiss After the Night Shift" and it got approved,

approved but waaah? should i say congrats or you missed "not" because of your disappointment :( i understand the disappointment though, the effort you made

I'm happy about the approval but I didn't understand about the english voiceover, which was my disappointment until Mr. P's post. I can't stand voiceovers like that or narratives in dramas. For the intro a narrative is okay, but not throughout the drama.

wasn't the English voiceover preselected in Youtube? I had this with the ep0 of Winter Sun, suddently everyone was talking in English, it didn't match the tempo and it took me a few seconds to see that it was on English voiceover. After switching back to the original language, it was better, even though the subtitles were uneven (another good reason to start learning Chinese in September, yeah!)
