You guys can choose the one that looks better.

#2!

From henceforth I shall be known and referred to as:

"RX, first of his name. King of the Andals, the Rhynar, and the first men. Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm."

Yes, I just watched episode 2 of HOD season 3.

Anyway, to the business of BL

The Lie We Lived In - episodes 5 & 6

The NC scene was hot. Chu Tae Jeong is folding fast lol

The plot is plotting as Heo Dong Hwa's character continues to be revealed.

What about Knot? I am really looking forward to this one airing

Yes, absolutely, many of us are - but it starts tomorrow (June), while Art Girl's list is for July.

Oh sure - I'm in Australia so it is always a bit different for us. We are definitely not having a heat wave! It was 13 degrees and bucketing down with rain where I live

Yet another JBL, and yet again ordinary boy vs. popular boy:
"Sekigae Shitara, Doyara Ushiro no Otoko ga Ore no Koto Sukirashii"
("After Changing Seats, It Seems the Guy Sitting Behind Me Likes Me")
starting 6 August (international platform not yet known, hopefully Gaga)

The leads are Konishi Eito (Taishin from "Takara's Treasure", one of my favourite JBLs) and Gennosuke (Koichi from the very recent and appropriately named "Dangerously Sweet", one of the better verts I've watched).

Synopsis: "A simple seat change turns one high schooler's life upside down. Ordinary student Mayama Haru is stunned when he finds a handwritten confession on a worksheet passed around the classroom. Even more shocking, the note is from Asamiya Kosei, the impossibly handsome and popular boy at the center of their class. Certain the confession wasn't meant for him, Haru questions Kosei, only to receive an immediate and unwavering answer: it was written for him. As Kosei's intense affection grows stronger by the day, Haru finds himself swept up by the relentless advances of a boy who has been hiding his feelings for far too long."

Currently watching Don't be too emotional and just got the scene : I'm always looking at you ๐Ÿซฃ

That scene had me feeling some type of way ๐Ÿคญ

I saw your post about the shirtless scene, but I was still surprised when it happened๐Ÿคฃ

I had the lyrics stuck in my head all night : ๐ŸŽถYou're a red flag, but I'm colourblind๐ŸŽถ

Really good first episode and I'm ready to get obsessed just one little downside for me : I didn't want a love triangle but maybe it will end up as 2 couples later on.

1000 Dramas completed !

Wow, congrats!

Thank you !

Indie Art Girl:
I'd like to watch cuz it'll be my first time seeing Boat & Oat in a drama. I really love what I've seen of them on sm! Reading the drama summary it sounds like supernatural but I don't see that as a genre or tag.

I was going to say maybe because it's ABO but for ABO Desire there is the genre fantasy. I'm excited for this one and will watch it as it airs.

MarkOhmForever:
I am so excited for ThemeThee ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜

I'm curious about them I only remember Theme's characters as evil.

Indie Art Girl:
My fav character is Zen and he's so hot! They both look good together and have great chemistry. ๐Ÿ˜

I'm glad you seem to be enjoying it! I loved that twist too, and I wasn't expecting it to happen so soon. It was a nice surprise.

I'm already giggling just reading the synopsis. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm in !

Oh and thanks for letting us know about the promotion for Wetv I took an annual subscription ๐Ÿ˜

I feel like the "ordinary boy vs. popular boy" is quite common, especially in JBL. I'm not complaining since I find it cute from time to time, but isn't it being overused?

I would like to see a couple with the same rank/ title

Tiffany:

Alone for upcoming titles like "Magic Lover" I think it's worth it, even if it's far less essential than Gaga and iQiyi (and maybe Viki, which seems to be waking up from its long BL sleep).

WeTV also has quite a few older BLs, some of which are exclusives.
Useful tip: Sometimes one has to VPN to Bangkok or wherever (just to name two examples: "Lovely Writer" and "Addicted Heroin").

You're absolutely right: Certain tropes tend to be overused a lot in BLs - presumably because they're popular and make money. I personally love the "nerd/shy/ordinary boy vs. popular/jock boy" trope, especially if cast with cutie-patooties, so I don't mind, haha.

jazme:

for those watching ticket to heaven, i'm curious what ending you're expecting? will it be a heartbreak one since the first ep they showed us that someone close to barth will be ordained? or will it be a happy ending and the one that will be ordained is not barth but a different friend?

How do you see Ticket to Heaven will end?

Heartbreak, sad ending, Tanrak will become a priest 13%

Happy ending 63%

Plot twist, surprise! open-ending 25%

so many of us (as expected) is looking for a happy ending. hopefully it does turn out that way

Thanks for the tip I will try to find a VPN.

Tiffany:

Ah - if you don't already have experience with VPN, a few more tips:

It's really easy to use, on both the PC and Android phone, but in my opinion, it's worth paying for a 100% reliable VPN provider based within the EU, as you're giving them a very high level of access. I personally do not trust the free ones.

Also, sometimes one has to trick the BL streaming platforms by first getting the direct link to the desired episode - either from a site like World of BL, or alternatively by first finding the episode using an incognito browser (not logged in) - then by entering the direct link in the regular browser (logged in). If that sounds complicated: No worries, it's easier than it sounds.

I had to stop in the middle of EP 5 of FFL to say I love the twist that Zen gave. The winner calls the shots, so be my boyfriend. HAHAHA. The look on Ryo's face. ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€

My fav character is Zen and he's so hot! They both look good together and have great chemistry. ๐Ÿ˜

Sounds like you're enjoying it this time around - which is a relief to me, as I put my credibility on the line with you. Phew!

You can breathe easy! I enjoyed it quite a bit, so you guessed right, lol. ๐Ÿ‘

RE: Fake Fact Lips

Yes I finished it late last night. Thanks to Mr. P, you and others for the encouragement to try again!

RE: Ticket to Heaven

Now that a HE is in question maybe I should wait for an ending spoiler before starting. ๐Ÿค”
