Drama update this week.
Note: June has been the first month this year in which I like/love the majority of my CWL. Also my list is packed so I might have missed something. <--- edit: I did Fake Fact Lips 😭
Completed
Magic Move: The okay first half is not worth watching for the second half. Just skip to scenes of the second couple.
Backdoor: wow, part 2 please and thank you. Worth the time to watch.
Advance Bravely: on my list since 2020 😱 and it was @dora's fault I ended up watching it (sharing that bromance youtube video). I put it off because it was never completed like Addicted but overall okay drama.
Triple-Do You Want?: Interesting short film thought project. Three different couple dynamics playing the same scene.
The Lie We Lived In: I really, really loved this one. I loved the plot and and acting. And that outro song! 😘 A must watch Korean BL.
Love of Silom: I did love the last episode but 9, 10, 11 are just frustratingly terrible in comparison to the rest of the drama. But the overall love I have for this drama still has it rated high.
Your Dear Daddy: Started off as a great relaxing drama to watch, then sudden assassin and the after drama gave me whiplash. I set this to 'good average.'
Fourever You Part 2: I loved this season! Very highly rated for me, mostly due to Lately, Its Winter Season.
Pretend Lover: Vertical (see here for a list of all BL Verticals I know of) this is a cliche, cheesy soap that had me grinning the entire time so of course I loved it.
Fake Fact Lips: I still haven't watch the special episode (later today!) but I expect its just as good as the 9 episodes so perfect 😅
New
Blazing Him: Only watched 1 episode but so far so good.
Deep In: Very drawn in with this plot. I love all the actors playing actors dramas we have now.
Don't Be Too Emotional: Wow, that was just wow. I didn't watch any trailers so I went in blind and so glad because I enjoyed that.
Lost to Light: not a good first impression. About to start the second episode.
My Summer of You: basic school drama so far. Poor thing airs the same day as WOF, so it stands no chance in a head to head battle.
The Edge of Horizon: so far I love it.
The Prosecutor's Proposal: Korea is killing it with these non-romantic plot based dramas! This is good so far.
The Table: The obvious fake sound track of people talking in the background was amusing. But still enjoyable start to a short series.
Unfold: Watched first episode and right now I'm curious but have no opinion either way.
When Light Fades: Like may 3 or 4 cliche 'falling into your arms' moments in just one episode. Don't have high hopes.
Zantiis Miss You: middle ground, falling in love a little too fast for my liking I think.
Still Watching
A Dog and a Plane: I would say this drama is charming.
A Winter Sun: I like the main leads plot, but still have long way to go. I think this drama would have benefited if it dropped 2 episodes at once.
ChermChey: the 'how many sex jokes can we fit in one episode' drama. Their chemistry is the main pull and I'm eating it like a bag of chips.
Crazy Love, Moo Moo!: I wanna send this cow straight to the slaughter house.
Fix the Error!: Kinda boring at the beginning, but some good moments too. 10 min an episode so worth it.
Lost To You: One of my favorites. Though I think those intro monotone quotes are kind of ridiculous, and some of the side characters acting are 🫣
Love Class 3: short enough to be worth watching
Payback: This is tied with When Oranges Fall for #1.
Smile After Tears: Not sure I like how they are implementing this plot but I still like it so far. Might go into depth later. I feel like the second love wont be able to establish the depth I felt with the first guy.
The Boy and I Who Will Break Up in 100 Days: Seeing as Japan is in the middle of the fight for equal marriage rights, this drama feels like its capitalizing on that movement.
The Boyfriend Express: Still terrible, still loving the disaster.
Ticket to Heaven: Absolutely beautiful portrayal of emotions.
When Oranges Fall: I need this like it was the last oxygen on earth!
