BL Drama Lovers Club

Peach and Me : It was really nice to see all the characters again.

The ending of Me and Thee was good, but Rome and Mok's story wasn't developed enough. With this sequel, they redeemed themselves.

I was really happy that Kian was just as extra as before, but with more boundaries. You can tell that Peach had a positive influence on him. I also loved the fact that Peach was sometimes cheesy too. It really showed Kian's influence on him as well.

I loved seeing their family moments with the kids. We also got to see more of the bond between the two brothers and the friendship between Kian and Mok, which was a huge plus (They made me emotional. 🥹)

Lookplub and Mira's story was only touched on, so I can understand why some people are a bit disappointed that it wasn't explored further.It was also nice to see Tawan and Aran's relationship become much healthier. I loved that the last scene we got of Rome and Mok was Rome showing off his engagement ring.

Seeing all the different actors playing Khun Thee and Peach was hilarious. It must have been so much fun, but also pretty difficult to film without laughing. 😆The exhibition scene was so well done. It felt like I was reliving all their memories that led them to that moment. If I had to mention just one downside, it would be that I wanted more scenes with just Kian and Peach. But that's okay... I can always rewatch Me and Thee. 🥹

Pond and Phuwin were perfect as Theerakit Kian Lee and Peachayarat Lee. These characters will stay with me forever.

9/10 💜

Love Hurts EP 1-4

I just dropped a boring straight drama that I had good expectations for and decided to watch a quick short BL and realized afterwards Love Hurts is still airing.

Anyways, it's nothing to talk about except for one thing: Kim Chan Kyu! He stood out for some reason. Maybe it's his facial expressions or his eyes. Or his cuteness. Or the acting potential I see in him for the future. I hope he has one cuz I'll keep watching him!

He gets flowers!! 🌸 🌺 😍

(re "Love Hurts") Ditto. I feel invested in Changyu, not because he's such an acting talent but because I know him so well from "His Man". To me, it's like watching someone I know from real life who's now in a TV series. (And yeah, I also think he's a cutie.)

I started Payback today and wow... it is quite intense. Is this a safe space to say this? I don't like the lead characters. I don't know if this will change after a few episodes (I've seen 2) but Sun harmed a child in order to scare her father besides scaring other people and the director lead comes across as a narcissist and a bully. He started punching Sun for no reason.

Maybe I need to alternate it with something light and fluffy.

Payback is my favorite show this year, but I still don’t expect everyone to feel the same. We all have different tastes, moods, experiences, and reactions to what we watch. In this group, no one will bad-mouth you for having a different opinion. That’s one of the best things about being here. So never worry about expressing you true opinions.

I’m actually surprised by some of the shows and characters I end up loving. I never realized I like toxic, damaged, and broken characters so much. The characters in Payback grew on me as the show progressed, but I was riveted from the start.

Still, there are times when I only want to watch cute and fluffy.

do share once you're comfortable with it

I surely will 😉

Payback ep 9

"Mówiłeś mi, że przyciągam gniew, że za nic masz mą niewinność. Patrzyłeś jak wolno staczam się i spadam w otchłań bezdenną."

How I felt watching this episode: 🤤🥵🤢🤮🤮😭😭

Uff, they've had a wild night. Somehow have still got the strength for a wild morning. It's good to see a genuine smile on Sun's face.

This greasy hair man's hand is shaking so much he can't even drink tea without spilling and yet he's strong enough to beat up young men? He can barely hold chopsticks and yet somehow his 'chopstick' finds its way to a hole? He's got a pacemaker and yet he rides young men in a swimming pool? How is this fossil still alive?! 🤬

I'm repulsed by the way these men speak about Two-o. Like his some toy they can play with to their heart's, or should I say, body's content and when it's all torn and coming apart at seams they just throw it away and take a new one to play with.

Sunny acting like a procurer, now he turned into a murderer. How low can one fall in the pursuit of fame and fortune?

Sun is still trying to pay for his sins and also is scared another person is going to die because of him. No wonder he's willing to risk his own life. I must admit, that action scene looked really good, my Min's got some moves 😁

I love these secondary characters adding humour to the story, the manager, Jay's uncle and now the bodyguard 😄

Payback ep 10

"Die Chance, dass wir beide uns treffen, ging gegen Null, und doch stehen wir jetzt hier."

The parade of Sun's visitors at the hospital was funny.

Has Jay watched ABO Desire ep 15? He clearly followed Sheng Shao You's example of how to make your lover understand your pain.

The board meeting scene was chef's kiss, I loved it. I had so much fun looking at their faces twisted with anger and disbelief. Jay was so hot there too. He walked in like a final boss 🤩

That was it? This was so unsatisfying. After all they've done, after all the crimes they've commited, after all the lives they've destroyed, they got killed? Just like that? They should have locked them in a torture museum and make use of the exhibits. Or put them in prison and ask other prisoners to do to them what they had done to those young men. For people like this red-hot rod is the only suitable punishment, easy death is not it.

At least the scene in the hospital garden was satisfying. I loved the smug look on Sun's face when he stared at Sunny while being kissed by director Arthur 😏

Our beloved characters got their happy ending, Sunny from a procurer turned into an adult film star, Jay and Sun learnt to love themselves and thus they quit smoking.

I enjoyed this drama. There were things that bothered me and I would write some things differently, but the drama wasn't bad at all. I loved the actors!

Question for DMD experts: could someone kindly tell me which dramas with DMD actors were produced by Mandee and which were produced by other companies?

For example, Max've had a small role in Payback and it wasn't produced by Mandee.

I think it is completely fine to call most of the characters in this show for the fact that none of them are saints.

It is definitely a darker themed BL (I just finished writing my review). There will be more not-so-nice things coming ahead so, a lighter show to balance this one out could be a good idea. It's also okay to just drop it, if you at some point begin to feel that it gets too heavy.

Thanks. It's quite interesting and the humour does help. I have questions but maybe they'll be answered later so for now I'll keep watching,

I've not yet watched "Payback", but I think I speak for most of us in this group when I say that I respect and value other opinions, especially when they're explained and reasoned, regardless of whether I share them.
