Indie Art Girl:
Completed Peach and Me. The last 2 eps were hard to get through cuz I was mostly kinda bored, but the last half of the last ep was the best and funniest part of the whole special.
Seeing the different GMMTV couples together acting out Thee and Peach's story was killer hilarious. I laughed so so hard. Everyone cracked me up. So I was glad I got to watch them.
7/10
I'm too tired to respond to all the posts but I love your dancing cats and I loved this part in Peach and Me it was hilarious especially Junior. I hope your headache is gone.
Tomorrow (today since it's 3:30 am) I will binge watch The Edge of Horizon I think I will love it and I hope to finish it in one day.

So, have you all watched the first episodes of You Maniac/Mr. Fanboy? Looking forward to reading your impressions
"Fanboy" yes, "Maniac" no. I don't have capacity for both right now, and I am a fanatical Domundi partisan.
dora:
Oh Domundi, how do I love thee!
Dora understands me.
I likewise got a big kick out of all the cameos!

I'll do catch-ups on "Maniac" and "Four Hands, Two Sonatas" after some of my currently watchings finish.

Fanboy's cameos were not only awesome, but using real upcoming dramas with the corresponding couples, while being great advertising, also created a unique immersive experience only current watchers with anticipation of Domundi dramas will get to feel. Really set the tone of the entire episode for me. 😁

Yes, well said. Although upcoming Domundi/Mandee dramas hardly need any more advertising for Domundi fanatics like me, it was cleverly done.
Another observation which was already clear in the pilot but much more so after ep. 1: Auau and Save are very well cast for this story.

Weekend report on "Your Sky: Hare Nochi Koi" (ep. 5) and "Your Summer, My Storm" (ep. 8): I liked both series from the start - not least because of cutie-patootie Hinata ("Your Sky") and my adoration of Fukada Ryusei ("Summer/Storm") and the samoyed (me dog crazy) - but I'm feeling increasingly enthusiastic about both series in more substantive ways. I appreciate that "Your Sky" has such a different vibe and execution from the Thai original (which I adore), and although it's unclear where "Summer/Storm" is heading BL HEA-wise, the production value is really high.

New JBL starting October 5:
"Ao to Midori" = "Ao and Midori"
(international platform not yet known, but Gaga seems likely)
Synopsis: "Ao is a genius who ranks first in his grade in both academics and athletics, yet he expresses his unconditional affection with an innocent, carefree openness. Midori, meanwhile, has a caring, nurturing side toward Ao but struggles to be honest about his own feelings. After meeting in high school and gradually falling for each other, the two become working adults while remaining in a state of mutual but unspoken love, driven by their desire to live what society considers a 'normal' life. Because they mean so much to each other, they carefully choose their words and take the time to understand one another’s hearts, gradually moving forward one step at a time over the course of eight years."
The synopsis sounds rather generic, but the series is of special interest to me because one of the lead actors is Kusakawa Naoya (right in photo), younger brother of Kusakawa Takuya (Minato of "Minato's Laundramat"). Naoya is himself an accomplished actor whose first dramatic role was the 2019 BL "His: I Didn't Think I Would Fall in Love", a coming-of-age story of young first love and of coming to grips with one's homosexuality. Other than the abrupt ending, I think it's excellent - but unfortunately, hard to find.

By the way am I the only one questioning the +18 Thai age rating this has?
thai authorities put 18+ ratings as soon as there's open alcohol consumption (for some reason pixelled bottles go through though)
surely other things as well (drugs? violence? swear words, definitely) that are deemed harmful for minors, but they don't have the same hang-ups as americans (usa-flavour) about sexual matters
so 18+ does not necessarily mean explicit sexual content
Thank you for clarification, I thought it might be something else than the explicit scenes causing the age rating.
So, have you all watched the first episodes of You Maniac/Mr. Fanboy? Looking forward to reading your impressions 😊
Mr. Fanboy ep 1
I didn't have a lot of expectations for this, but I liked it. The first ep already had good progression to the story and I am looking forward to the next ep. The enemies-to-lovers plot that this is supposed to have so far feels very believable based on the first ep, and we got nice amount of tension between the main pair from the start.
You Maniac ep 1
The ost for the intro went immediately to my music playlist, very catchy. The set-up is at least pretty interesting, one person flirts with almost anything that has two legs, the other doesn't want anything to do with anyone if it gets romantic. And then we have the vet who is repressing his feelings in order to preserve the current friendship he has with Moth. I was maybe expecting there to be more development between Moth and Dean from the very first ep. Not as excited about this as I was from Mr. Fanboy, but I will want to check next two eps, bf making the conclusion if I will watch this to the end.

Oh that's a good thing, I'm glad to hear that since I will probably watch both.

Interesting. Added to my PTW list.
It's 12 PM, I just woke up, and I'm starting The Edge of Horizon. We'll see if I manage to finish it today. 😆 I don't think I'll have time to watch the first episode of You Maniac. And I wonder if I might change my mind and watch Mr. Fanboy as a weekly watch like You Maniac and Four Hands, Two Sonatas, since almost everyone is watching it.
