Quantcast

Just finished today's ep. 4 of "Play Me" (iQiyi via VPN to USA). Although not top-notch, it's a decent light KBL with a misunderstanding during school followed by various path-crossing coincidences some years later (i.e. largely a second-chance love BL).

However, I'm honestly wishing I had waited till the end, as this is one of those KBLs that I think would work better as a binge-watch. Not that it's so suspenseful but rather that the episodes are short and a bit confusing, so it's hard for me to remember what happened last weekend.

Is everything on IQIYI "Short Drama" a vert format? Cuz that's my impression so I pass over them when I see them on YT. I just wanted to make sure I'm correct, or not. 😊

I watched as soon as it posted yesterday (

RE: Baretara Owari

I wondered how EP 1 went. I haven't watched yet and was deciding whether to or not based on my new goal of watching less minor YT series and more of the regular productions. Sometimes I don't know where a title falls into...

There could be content on iQiyi Shorts (smartphone app only, separate page) that's micro-episode but not vertical, but that's just a technicality. If you're viewing on a web browser, you won't even see them.

Oh, I should say I'm referring to trailers/ads on YT for what seems like Vert format series!

Have you seen the clips of the Junior Mark concert? Both broke out crying. A little bit heartbreaking

why? what happened?

Nothing bad. Junior said he is overworked and some other things. Idk why Mark cried. I've never seen Junior cry before

Don't be too emotional ep 7

May contain spoilers!

I deliberately didn't read your review before writing mine, and it's so funny to compare both. It feels like we didn't even watch the same episode. πŸ˜†

But reading your opinion made me think about things I didn't pay enough attention to. Now I'm wondering if it's possible that Big Jane has secretly been watching Little Jane for the past 5 years. We might get a few flashbacks to those 5 years in the next episode, showing Big Jane following and protecting Little Jane. It wouldn't surprise me.

I didn't watch the preview for the next episode (most of the time, I prefer not to watch them), so I was shocked by the existence of Big Jane's son. It feels a bit sudden. If he really does have a son, I would have liked a few hints before finding out through the preview.

Yeah so I'm thinking could the son be adopted or something like that, bc it does feel like a very sudden. We will see.

Knowing Big Jane, I would actually think it's more believable he has kept tabs on Jane. The reaction he had towards Dan showing up again, just proved to be that he has at no point had attempts to actually let Jane go/ get over his feelings for him, but rather he has been just waiting patiently the right moment to make his come back.

How do you like class crush crisis. For me in is not bad but not the best. It is not that hard to watch so it is a easy watch for me because it is in school.

I saw a short of Junior crying while thanking the staff for everything. He said he's stubborn because he had a specific vision for this concert, and the staff tried to make it happen for him. 😭

Official Trailer | Mr.Fanboy: starting august 29

Cant wait!

After watching yesterday's first episode of "Gelboys S2", I found myself struggling to remember and grasp the fascinating and brilliantly portrayed but ultra-messy Gen-Z "love square" dynamics from S1, so I googled for a good synopsis and stumbled across this very helpful one-minute explanation on Tiktok:
https://www.tiktok.com/@saposardento/video/7481294564179987734
(Intended only as a recap of S1 for those who watched it but, like me, have gotten a bit fuzzy since then. Do not watch this if you haven't watched S1. That being said, there's not much point in watching S2 if you haven't watched S1.)

My only question is- is Baabin and Bua broken up and not together anymore in future cause if so i am not watching cause they are my fave couple in the show and the only reason I watched season 1 lol πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­πŸ’”

They're my favourite, too. BLs usually aim to give the viewers what they want (happy endings), but I don't think there's any way to answer your question till S2 finishes airing - so maybe just wait till then.

My Watch Challenges

Yay me!! I finished my BL Watch Challenge yesterday! I didn't feel very energetic so I ended up watching a few movies during the day so I could fill the last few prompts. I mostly watch dramas or movies in the evening unless I don't feel well or have really low energy. That could be my brain or my body, lol.

But sometimes I'm so excited about a series that I absolutely have to watch an ep first thing in the morning before anything else! Does anyone also do that?

Now I just have 7 prompts left for the A-Z or Alphabet Challenge and quite a bit more for the PTW Challenge. The hardest part of the PTW Challenge is going to be the longest drama!

In 2027 I'm prob only going to continue with the 52 Week Drama Challenge as I've done each year. It's a great way to look back as a reference for which year I watched what title and just generally useful info. I don't think there's a way to track that in the watch lists, but I could be wrong!

My Current Watchlist

I only have 2 BL titles I'm watching rn. Winter Sun which is on hold after EP 9. It's been hard to wait and avoid spoilers on sm. The wait will be over soon with only 2 eps left to air!

The other one, Love Hurts, is forgettable. I can't even remember why I started watching it, but I stayed for Kim Chan Gyu. I don't do that very often. If I don't like a drama it's gone in one click! Anyways with only 3 short eps left I figure I'll finish it.

I think I might start Love Class 3. I did watch the first two seasons and thought S1 was pretty good but S2 was just okay. Kinda interesting cuz S1 has the lowest rating. So this season could go either way! Actually I wouldn't mind a quick ending spoiler. Maybe tip me off if it's an open or bad ending. That'll save me some time, haha.

I hope everyone is having or had a good weekend, depending on ur timezone!

I spent a LOT of time on Stray Kids new comeback album and content!! All I'll say here is they are so fineee! Every. Single. Time. ❀️ 😍 🎸 πŸ’ƒ πŸ‘οΈπŸ‘„πŸ‘οΈ I post about it on my SKZ thread in the music group. I think I'm the only poster there most of the time, but I don't mind, lol.

PS @Dora - Did u see Hyunjin's new cut?!?!?! Wowza!!
