Hey guys, it’s been a while! I took a long, much needed break, and I’m finally back to the BL world.

I finally managed to complete Only Friends Dream On. I’ve gotta say, the last episodes lost me a bit but it was good overall. I loved RomeRaffy the most, They were amazing.

 8/10

When Oranges Fall ep 1 - 7

The cutest thing I’ve ever seen. It keeps getting better. 

I give it 8.5 for now.


Fake Fact Lips ep 1 - 6

I haven’t finished it yet and I already gave it a 10. Amazing acting and chemistry. 

I still have 3 more episodes, I hope it won’t disappoint me.


Ticket To Heaven 1 - 4

Such an amazing unique story. I knew I would love it and it did not disappoint. 

The chemistry is off the charts. Fourth’s acting shocked me. I know he can act but damn. 


Deep In 1-3

All I got to say is I’m already obsessed. The acting is 10/10.

I was so shocked when I looked up the actors afterward and found out that one of the leads is played by Ollie?!! I didn’t recognise him at all. 


Wu ep 1-7

I was very surprised by this series. SkyNani’s chemistry is amazing as always, but the story itself is very entertaining. I was so invested that I didn’t feel the time go by.


Don’t Be Too Emotional ep 1

This was a surprise. A very happy one. I hadn’t heard anything about this, nor had I watched the trailer. I went in blind and now I’m hooked.

I don’t think I’ve seen these actors before, they all seem new to me.

Also why are there so many BLs airing or about to air now. I can’t keep up at all.

i can't keep up before, moreso now lol


i just finished life in smokey blue, it's a good one if you can ignore the smoking, can't decide yet if it's a 9 or 10. it's more of the mature, not-that-much-cheesy love but deep connection and abt life. it has 1 nc scene (or 2?) in the latter part of the series.

Sophie:

I’m finally back to the BL world.

Welcome back!

I totally agree on "When Oranges Fall", "Fake Fact Lips" and "Wu". Of the nine currently airing (or just finished) BL series I'm watching (or have been watching), those are probably my three top ratings. (Strictly speaking, "Wu" is bromance.)

With about half of these finishing or just finished, I now have space to start on some new ones, so thanks to the overwhelmingly positive feedback from this group, as well as DeeHup's reasonably good track record, I'm right now (at this very moment!) starting on "Don't Be Too Emotional".

My other top priorities right now are to do binge catch-ups on "Ticket To Heaven", "Deep In", "Winter Sun" and "Dog and a Plane".

Tiffany:

Which drama should I pick up first from my on-hold list ?

At 25:00, in Akasaka Season 2 27%

Kidnap 7%

Love Upon a Time 47%

Blossom (non BL Chinese drama) 20%

I voted for "Love Upon A Time". Should you decide to watch it, let me just explain that it starts weak, with annoying comedy and not much BL, but gets much better starting from about halfway through.

Thanks for this very useful information.

I found this teaser (it's supposed to be for their concert, so no season 2 confirmation yet) of Sammy's Children's Day:

I miss these guys, can't wait for a season 2!

I need season 2 or I will be broken hearted.

right! I think I would even sign for a season 3 without any hesitation!

Tiffany:

Fake Fact Lips Special: It was so goodI want to count it as the final episode rather than just a special. I'm changing my rating from 9/10 to 9.5/10. I'll miss them.

I thought exactly the same! And I also wanted to change my rating from 9.0 to 9.5 but finally didn't because the page for the special ep was added to MDM, so I left my rating at 9.0 for the series (9 eps) and rated the special ep with a 9.5.

Lucky you, the last episodes are the best! Don't miss ep10 (aka the special ep), it closes the story perfectly!

Oh exactly the same happened to me, it feels forever until the next episode is airing on Friday!

Sophie:

Indie Art Girl shared the list of airing BLs for July a couple of days ago, it looks even more packed than June. I try and limit starting all airing shows at the same time, especially since most of them are airing on Fridays and Saturdays and heavily rely on the feedbacks of this community to start a new BL. In the past I would have started all of them in parallel but right now it's not manageable anymore.

That was such a good surprise, I didn't expect to be hooked from ep1. RX and Tiffany advertised it so well, no way to escape it!

p43425:
"Winter Sun"

The first episodes are super promising, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Me, waiting for Friday while watching ep7 preview of Winter Sun for the 10th time:

"Dog and a Plane"

Oh I forgot to add a dog and a plane, I did watch it too . It’s been fun so far

Thanks, I didn’t knew there was a special episode.

God, I’m never catching up then.

You got me interested.

Wait i’m confused. This isn’t thai ? Is winter sun a thai production?

Sophie:

Is winter sun a thai production?

It's strangely listed on MDL as "Thai" (maybe released through some kind of Thai shell company?), but it's definitely Chinese - same team as the indie masterpiece "Secrets Happened on the Litchi Island".

I've seen the Thai docu My First Boyfriend just now. It's odd to say the least. 7 out of 10.

@Sophie

Welcome back! I agree completely with all your comments about what you’re watching. Plus you’ve made a really good selection of shows. I have a few more I’m watching, which is probably too many, but these are also riveting:

The Prosecutor’s Proposal (dark romance, Korean so short episodes) iQIYI

A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills' Dream (artistic Chinese drama, really gorgeous) Gaga

The Edge of Horizon (Thai melodrama with fabulous new couple of beautiful and talented actors) Gaga

And then a lot of us will be starting Knot today. Can’t wait for some crazy BoatOat chemistry!

Everyone is overwhelmed with the amount of shows right now. It used to be possible to watch all the currently airing BLs, but now there are just too many. If you count short form shows and verticals, it’s barely possible to keep track of them all. But at least MDL is including them again.

Last year I watched pretty much every new BL aside from short form and verticals. Now there’s no way! I have a private list where I add every new show that comes out that I’m not watching, so I won’t forget what I’m missing. I still don’t have time to watch them, but it makes me feel better to know I’m keeping track of them and that they’re waiting for me.

Sophie:
Hey guys, it’s been a while!

Hi Sophie! Welcome back!
Thanks for the rundown on your BL watches! I've slowed down a little, in part cuz there's a flood of toxic BLs lately, so less choices to pick from, lol. Along with a few I'm not very interested in leaves even less! My top current fav is Winter Sun.

Portugalia67:
Me, waiting for Friday while watching ep7 preview of Winter Sun for the 10th time:

That's funny!

I never watch previews. Not even the end previews after an ep is over! I stop the vid as soon as they come on. And some of the pilots/trailers I post I don't watch either. But if I think the drama has a toxic story, I'll check it out to see if it's watchable. If I have to stop it then I know, haha.

I never read the hidden spoilers posted here unless it's a drama I'll never watch. 😁

The main spoilers I look for are the endings or the level of toxic it is, lol.

Sammy's Children day like has to have a season 2 coming, bc we need the couple to actually have a couple time in the show and not them just avoiding their feelings almost the whole show, then one of them is just taken into prison, and the end. I am still salty about the relationship development part, even if otherwise it was perfection in terms of overall plot and individual character performances.
