Quantcast

I completed 2 BLs recently.

Bittersweet Love - the trailer was interesting when I first saw it but when I was actually watching it, there was a lot that was off-putting. Poor ML was sold off by his parents to marry a rich woman who is already pregnant and has no interest in him. His brother-in-law develops an interest in him and makes him strip in front of him and basically makes the poor ML dependent on him. And another time the wife drugs him or gets him intoxicated and his brother-in-law arrives and takes advantage of him. His family pressuring him to get his older brother a job was also helping him having to keep asking his brother-in-law for help. I don't feel we can really call this love. I gave it a low score but I have to admit that it was interesting. I just wasn't rooting for this couple and wanted him to be with the other guy he became friends with. 6.5/10

A Winter Sun - just knew a basic plot of an actor who goes to a hill side and meets someone and falls in love. The story as such wasn't interesting. The direction is interesting, the location is beautiful but the story itself is quite slow moving. It was an interesting choice to have several, if not most, scenes with no background music. Just silence. A lot of those times nothing specific is happening. Felt a lot like an art film.There were also many times when I was confused as to what happened. Wondering if I missed something but it was just suspense to be revealed later. Although sometimes you had to draw your own conclusions with no extra clues. There were some interesting scenarios like how actors and their teams handle viral stories (both positive and negative). Overall I can't say I disliked it but I wasn't wowed by it either. 7/10

Sorry for being quiet the past few days. I've been away.

I think our little polls are nice way of getting shy members to participate, so here's a new one:

Which is your favourite Domundi generation?

Feel free to post comments explaining your answer!

Gen 1 (Max, Zee, Mark, Poppy, Park, Jimmy, Tommy)
Gen 2 (Nunew, Nat, Tutor, Yim, James, Net)
Gen 3 (Keng, Namping, Thomas, Kong, FirstOne, Tle, Latte, Gems, TeeTee)
Gen 4 (Por, Auau, Save, Patji, Ryujin, Kim, JJ, Ohmkrit)
Gen 5 (North, Otto, Copper, Fifa, Phupha, Wave, Pete, Porsche, Pung)
Gen 6 (tentatively Reeon, Few, Nan, Nick, Thee, Ton, Teddy, JT)
Huh?

I don't really have a favourite generation but am most familiar with Gen 1,2,3

My first domundi dramas was MaxNat drama, the counterpart to Cutie Pie

Gen3 has my favorite couples for sure, KengNamping, ThomasKong, TleFirstOne. If only Por was part of gen3 then it’d include TeeteePor too and I’d be happy. I’m hoping AuauSave become favorites too after Mr. Fanboy

Tiffany:
It's only my opinion but I'm more impressed by the photos than seeing it in real life. πŸ˜‚

You saw 96% from France so you didn't get the full effect. Once you see a total solar eclipse you might feel differently. Although I have to agree that some of the photos have been amazing (and some have been altered for artistic purposes to look more amazing).

On my first eclipse on the Black Sea, it was about 2 minutes of totality. I saw the Baileys Beads, the Diamond Ring. My husband had brought a handmade telescope so we saw flares while the sun was eclipsed. On my 3rd eclipse, it was in a neighborhood park. All the animals suddenly became quiet when totality occurred. It was surreal. I've become an eclipse chaser and have plans to see the one in southern Spain on August 2, 2027. I also have my eyes on the one occurring in July 2028 across Australia.

Italophilia:

It's surreal. This one was different for me because it was in a city. The 1st, I saw on the Black Sea on a boat. Truly incredible; I had goosebumps.

The 2nd (Cairns, Australia) and 3rd (Madras, Oregon), I was in areas where there were typical animal sounds. They all quieted down when the eclipse happened. Very eerie.

Wow, what an amazing experience 😲 Thank you for sharing this 😊

Argh! I am going to throw my computer to the wall, bc of this show

This proves I was right to stop and wait for the rest of episodes to binge. I wouldn't be able to watch Don't Be Too Emotional and get frustrated every week πŸ˜’


Your Sky Hare Nochi Koi ep 4

If there ever was a battle and I was the judge: Hinata > Teerak & Muenfah > Sora.

As I was watching this episode I remembered that girl and that subplot. It was in the original drama as well. I like this drama, but the original is still pretty fresh in my memory, so it's hard not to compare these two. So far, I prefer the Thai version.

The Edge of Horizon ep 10

"A choć winienem Twej niedoli, miłości mojej nie przeklinaj." (Although I'm to blame for your misery, do not curse my love)

I said it before and I'll keep saying this: my love for the grandma is immense πŸ₯° True nobility. She lived by the principle: noblesse oblige. She treated her family with love and her servants with respect. This is why her death hurts so much 😭 Sadly, there was nothing that could have been done. This drama takes place 13 years before the first dialysis and 22 years before the first kidney transplant. Phob can't be blamed for inevitable, he's neither a god nor a demon.

Prince Vasin has lost his mind. This behaviour isn't normal. He's literally obsessed with Phob. This whole revolution is so much bigger than Phob, and it didn't even start with him, he couldn't have prevented the princess' death, yet he's to blame for every misfortune that happened to the royal family. Vasin flies into a temper whenever he's mentioned. He's wearing blinkers. He's blinded by his hate. And deafened too, since he can't hear a word Tinn is trying to tell him.

Why is this so hard between these two? 😫 Fate doesn't spare them. Just when I thought things were getting better. Phob was there for Tinn in his time of need, they got a little closer again. Grandma was supporting them, she even had a talk with Phob's mum to change her perspective on things. Unfortunately, nothing is ever easy for them. Tinn's father is going through with the rebellion and he won't have mercy on Phob, while Phob could never hurt him or Chat, because they're the family of his beloved and he wouldn't hurt Tinn like this. I'm telling you, if they get a happy ending after all of this, it's going to be a miracle (sent from heavens by the grandma).

Such important political events are taking place and yet the most important person is not around. Where is the king in all of this? I haven't seen him once!

dora:

Gen3 has my favorite couples for sure, KengNamping, ThomasKong, TleFirstOne.

Mine, too - but in part because of how cleverly Domundi got me totally invested in Keng/Namping and Thomas/Kong right from the start through "DMD Friendship: The Reality", which I see as a major turning point in Domundi's development.

In the case of FirstOne and Tle, it's a bit different, since they didn't partner until shortly after - but already during the series, I really appreciated their respective musical talents and even thought to myself that they would complement each other.

dora:

If only Por was part of gen3 then it’d include TeeteePor too and I’d be happy.

TeeTee is an interesting case because I didn't think much of him during "DMD Friendship: The Reality" (S1 / introduction of Gen 3). He was 18, lacked confidence and camera presence, and wasn't ready yet. But gosh, I was stunned much he had changed by the time of "It Takes Two" (S2 / introduction of Gen 4), which is when he totally won me over.

So although he's Gen 3, I associate him more with the Gen 4's.

jazme:
i still havent started this, looking forward to binge-watching it =D

Don't Be Too Emotional : I'm really curious to see how you'll like it as a binge-watch rather than a weekly watch.

Indie Art Girl:
I think this drama is going to be a really slow watch for me. It feels more intense than I have the energy for rn, but I liked the first 2 eps.

The Edge of Horizon : I thought I would binge-watch it on Sunday, but maybe I should check the first episode to see if it's too intense for me to watch it in one day. πŸ€”And I don't have the letter E for the alphabet challenge either, so maybe I'll use it for that too.

Interesting review ! Thank you for sharing. I like how different all of our tastes can be. 😊

Sorry for being quiet the past few days. I've been away.

Glad to see you back ! At first, I found it hard to answer because I tend to get obsessed with one couple from each generation, one after another. They take turns, like for a week it was TutorYim, then TleFirstOne, then JimmyOhm (but now it will be JTOhm), and CopperFifa. But I think my favourite couple is TleFirstOne, so I voted for Gen 3. πŸ˜†

I think it's also because I only had eclipse glasses. Next time, I'll be more prepared and watch it through a telescope. I admire your enthusiasm as an eclipse chaser ! πŸ”­πŸŒ‘

Exactly ! And I almost tend to forget that he's Gen 3. πŸ˜†

@Tiffany haha yeah. Different tastes indeed. I guess I'm difficult to please. Unless there's a drama that I can't stop watching or get enough of, it won't earn a 10 from me. I haven't given many dramas a 9+ this year. But the quality of releases overall have been better than last year.

i thought this might be a heavy watch so i watched it weekly, same with ticket to heaven

I was curious, so I checked your list for this year, and we both rated Deep In a 10/10. 😊

I can handle heavy watches, but it might take me a few days to recover. 😭 I'm just not into heavy shows as a weekly watch because I get less invested.

ETA :Only 40 minutes left before my poll ends on page 3132. I'm curious to see what my next watch will be.

ETA 2 : And the winner is 4minutes ! Thank you for voting.
