Ai no Kusabi is an old anime from the 1990s and still to this day one of my favorites. Totally worth watching. If you want warning or tags let me know though.
I started reading fanfiction when I was 11 to 12 so around 2002 on my windows 95 ๐คฃ. FF.net, AFF.net (still around but changed its name), mediaminer.org, a small section on deviantart, rando geocities websites, and LiveJournal were all the places for fanfic back in the day before AO3 and wattpad took over. Don't miss those days, AO3 all the way.
Only The Ring Finger Knows will always be special to me. I remember crying while reading it (I was moved by the love โค๏ธ) on a bench in front of the store in the mall. I still have it as well. I even got the novels they translated to English. Holds great memories.

โข Night Dream: I recently sub back to youku and was browsing when I saw this. Shocking because youku has maybe 5 BL on the whole platform.๐ This one was average.
Of special interest to my fellow Domundi enthusiasts: This has Ohmkrit in his first lead role plus Namping in his first supporting role (both pre-Domundi). Otherwise, it's flawed and low-budget but an enjoyable quick watch.
I watched this when it aired. It did not click to me that they were in it till now๐ฒlol
Looks who is actually on time with their watch list for this week.
May contain spoilers!
Peach and Me ep 1.
Well this certainly delivered. I had to hold back from giggling (my husband would have given me the eye roll) when not only did Rome and Mok appear, but they gave us many proper scenes of them together. Thee is still very much himself (even if he tries to claim otherwise), but I am happy he realized he had to let Peach return to work. It was also just so wholesome seeing them parenting the kids. And I don't know what I was expecting as the actual plot of this mini series, but we are getting some mafia stuff, so this should be exciting.
Don't Be Too Emotional ep 3.
Okay I am scared what is going to start happening next. Full kudos for Jane actually trying to get both sides of the story around big Jane, and not just blindly believing on version from one side. But yeah it is clear the big Jane is not your dream boyfriend material and he is probably not the person to take rejection and ppl messing up his relationship with Jane lightly. I feel more bad things happening ahead....
Payback ep 7.
The plot is plotting, but guys I am very concerned about the relationship development between Jay and Sun. We have all together 3 episodes to go and I feel we are not progressing at the speed that would make feelings on Sun's side belivable. He still seems umcorftable about Jay's advances and I felt in this episode not much progress happened between them. On the other hand the general plot is very much progressing and I was so happy that Sky got chance to act in a movie role. I think the best part of this episode was Sun opening up to Sky and Kajorn and Sky telling about his past trauma. They really make a good team.
Now about Sky and Kajorn... Karjorn used the term brother about Sky quite many times in the ep, so I am thinking that while yeah there might be some feelings there that are not 100% brotherly, there is not going to be romance between them in the series. We are running out of episodes, and we don't even have the main couple together.

Alright I might watch it, Ai no Kusabi.
Wow those are a lot of places for fanfics ๐
I'm glad that we got so many options now. No need to hunt down BL as much.
Don't Be Too Emotional - episode 3
"You're a red flag but I am colourblind"
I nominate this song for 2026 best OST.
The ambience of Big Jane's apartment exudes dark luxury like what you would find in vampire movies and series. The low lighting and candles really pulled off the scene with them eating. The atmosphere that was created with Big Jane preparing dinner, cutting the bloody meat, gives him a very dark aura which was quite fitting for this episode.
I love how the writers made such a smooth transition into the darker elements of the story this episode. I am really looking forward to seeing how they bring in the supernatural elements.
It is still a 10/10 for me and I am eagerly awaiting the next episode.

The Edge of Horizon ep 5
They're in love, Your Honour! I really like the contrast between prince Thin and Phob. When it all started, 11 years ago, it was Phob who tried to supress his feelings for Thin and keep his distance. And it was Thin who confronted him and made him confess his inappropriate feelings. The prince decided to pursue him and Phob eagerly agreed. Then they got caught doing the nasty and everything changed. Prince was reminded of his duties and sent abroad. Phob moved out of the palace and worked hard to become someone, to be worthy. Now it's Phob whose love is as strong as ever. As soon as he realised his feelings are still reciprocated, he'd stop at nothing to get his prince. The king must be overthrown? So be it. The regime must be changed? So be it. I'm telling you, he's going to burn the world (or Siam). Prince Thin on the other hand is following the protocol. He's engaged to princess Siri and he fights with all his might not to give in to this forbidden feeling (he failed spectacularly). I could not believe, how reckless they were. They clearly knew their love is frowned upon and yet they never learnt. How hard can it be to lock the door? Plus the office windows are humongous. No wonder they got caught, again.
Siri, play "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" by Celine Dion
They forgot themselves in that car. Thin lost the fight against his own heart. I can't believe they were careless enough to give each other love bites. This bravado will cost them dearly, I'm afraid. Their reactions in the mirror were also strikingly different. Thin was fretful and anxious, dwelling on the possible consequences. Phob looked proud, like he got exactly what he wanted.
"The sky is high and the ground is low"
I'm not a fan of Phob's mum, but she's right. The difference in their social status is too significant to be ignored. She knows her son would have to take the prince off his pedestal and bring him down to his level. She clearly doesn't support her son's actions.
Chat is such a comical villain. I can't help, but smile. He's ridiculous. Pond is a great actor.
I haven't figured Siri out. She was not amused when she caught her fiancรฉ doing questionable things with his childhood friend. At the same time, when she conversed with that journalist it felt like a GL couple in the making. Let's wait and see. I'm willing to put my trust in her for now.
As always, I can't wait for the next episode.

It was a magical time. I was reading Naruto fanfiction (back when Naruto was still just a manga in America) to get my BL fix. When I went to the bookstore, they had my first BL manga Only The Ring Finger Knows and Gravitation. I bought OTRFK first and a week later bought all 6 volumes they had of Gravitation. That's when I discovered the BL animes like Papa to kiss in the Dark, Sensitive Pornograph (total perv here ๐), Ai no Kusabi (this one is a classic), and a few other I'm embarrassed to have watched.
So many manga and anime titles ๐ฎ I've got to talk with my bestie, she's a yaoist ๐คญ She showed me Junjล Romantica, the anime. In the poll I asked about BL dramas, because if we were to include manga, anime or films, we could go way back ๐

This song got my vote I'm obsessed ! Yeah, I totally agree. The vibes in the apartment made it feel like a vampire series. I hope we'll get some supernatural elements next week.
Peach and Me Episode 1: OMG, Khun Thee got even more extra I didn't think that was possible, but he proved me wrong ! ๐ I laughed and smiled so much throughout the episode that my cheeks hurt. I'm so glad to see everyone again. And I definitely wasn't expecting Khun Thee to try singing in French. ๐
I forgot to add it was a nice surprise to see Jasp.er and Permpoon references.

OMG, that's raniuszek! Fun fact: raniuszek has been chosen the bird of the year in 2025 in Poland. I've seen these birds only once in my life, because they live in the forest and they don't fly to the city. They're so adorable and cheerful ๐ฅฐ
Really?!?! I was wondering if it was even a real bird or AI. I've never seen a bird lay down on a branch. He's the cutest thing ever. I would have to visit a European forest to see him in person, lol. Thank you sm for the info!! I'm going to read more about him.
Mr. P lives near a forest in Germany...and these birds are there too. I googled it. haha ๐ฆโโฌ
I received a bird diary as a birthday gift and I've been filling it with the dates and locations of birds I've seen. Everywhere I go I look at the birds. I used to have some really good binocs but they were stolen out of my car. ๐
ZhouYanRan:
I've got my eye on this one since I've only heard mostly positive things, specially about the chemistry!

Brace yourselves, I'll be spamming more ๐
