@Tiffany, I'm afraid I have to go back on my word: We said we would watch "Connecting To You" (starting today with 4 eps., then 2 eps. on each following Friday)
I'm jumping in to say I watched the first ep and it looks promising. I've been looking forward to this story for a long time! I'll catch more eps later.

What's everyone's favourite country for BLs in general
I know Mr.P is Japan and I know korean BLs are not as popular as other countries.
For me it's:
Thailand
Taiwan
China
Korea
Japan
my ranking and my general opinion:
1-China (one banger after another)
2-Thailand (a lot of content and variety. some can be a miss, but there’s both good and bad quality, and i can usually find something good)
3-Taiwan (i think a few years ago it could’ve been on my top list, but not lately)
4-Japan (not bad but sometimes i find myself wishing for more variety)
5-Korea (i wish they reduce the verticals and the very short eps, like 10 mins. i can’t get invested that way , i prefer longer eps like 30mins-45 mins)

For me it's:
Thailand
Taiwan
China

Japan
For me:
Thailand (only watch them right now; have many bls so the range what to watch is big and content never goes out)
Taiwan (haven't watched any in recent months but usually like)
Japan (Right now I don't like them because from Manhwa adapted dramas ate not my style right now)
China (too many toxic and sad endings for me personally) and Korea (not good quality I mean usually short dramas and somehow the plots don't range. I just don't like how the bls are portray being gay often but it is still like that in the country. I just don't like most plots and I rarely find non short bl productions or bls in general from this country)
If I have to choose a country I would definitely say Thailand because for the past months I only watched this country. I can't really talk about more recent things. Another advantage for thai bl for me is that gmmtv puts some of their series (if not geoblockted) on YouTube and Netflix has some thai bls now too. It is convenient that I don't have to use gagaoolala because I would have to pay another streaming service and gaga has old and many non Thai dramas. Besides Iqiyi bls for example from dormumdi I can watch on YouTube and Netflix almost every time I see a drama

Holy moly, the Chinese BL rumour mill was correct!
I haven't seen "DFF", "4Minutes" or "Shine", so I've never seen JJay in action, but I assume he's a proven actor. Fingers crossed that this ship sails. Sādhu.🙏
This means that the total Domundi artist count (following Matthis's departure) is now back up to 47 (!).
He was great in 4Minutes but it was a serious role. I have trouble thinking of him playing a comedic or light part. I don’t remember him in Shine. Maybe I’ll watch DFF before Magic Lover comes out.
OK, since Unique Rain started this discussion, let's do it scientifically ...
