I can do this
I love seeing your watch lists, @Tiffany too! I don’t make such organized lists but I do keep a list of release dates. I usually decide right before the release whether I will watch a show weekly. Then if it’s not capturing my attention I may not always watch weekly. Then I may add other shows weekly if I need a different kind of show. I always have at least one completed BL on my CW list so I can binge if I have time or don’t just want single show episodes. I also try to have at least one GL and one kdrama or cdrama that’s not BL, but I count bromances for this category too.
If there weren’t so many shows, I would try to watch every BL, but this year it’s impossible. Plus I would add more in other categories if I had more time. But I have to comfort myself with PTW lists and hope I get to enough shows eventually.
Honestly, I often choose weekly watches based on which are likely to release the most spoilers. I follow a lot of BL groups on IG and FB (yes, I’m old) and I don’t like get spoiled by people who watch ahead of me. California puts me 14 hours behind Thailand so I’m one of the last people to watch everything.

@p43425: I don't remember fully either, but it was around the time of Love Class 3 I believe. Don't remember what the other drama was but I liked Love Class more... or I might be wrong and it was another 2 dramas and LC3 was mentioned 🤔 I just remembered we liked the opposite of two dramas we talked about.
Ah, yes. I remember now: The other one was "Lost to Light", which was admittedly a trainwreck, but a really cute trainwreck. Dora understand me. Objectively speaking, most viewers would probably agree with you, haha!
Even if it’s just you and me in the “train wreck with cuties” fan boat, I still stand by some train wrecks being fun, and cuties elevating even mediocre shows. Plus, for some actors, we will watch anything. We have to maintain our loyalties to our favorites, after all. 😉 But Domundi overall is a favorite, so that’s hard to keep up with since Mandee has started rolling out so many shows.
Not that I’m challenging Namping’s Domundi supremacy. I would never do that.
Anytime, any day, or week this month I feel like:
The highest voted title for my PTW Challenge: A Dream within a Dream
Group watch: Mr. Fanboy
Maybe the following when I'm in the mood:
Cosmetic Playlover S2
Hard Nights
Connecting to You (after it's over)
Additional titles:
Other BLs that finish this month so I can binge watch
If any BLs catch my eye while scrolling my PTW list during the month
If someone here mentions a really good series I haven't seen (And can see)
If I'm done with any of the above dramas
😊😊😊

The Last Oath (Friday)
Police In Love (Saturday)
The Crow Club (Friday)
Not Yours (Saturday)
Police in Love will be a weekly watch for me but I plan to binge watch the other 3. Thank you for reminding me of Not Yours.
Mr. Fanboy ep 1 : Good first episode ! It was a nice surprise to see all these cameos, and intelligent cameos at that, to promote future projects. I love the enemies-to-lovers trope, and I already love the main couple. I want to see more of their interactions, and I can't wait to also see more of Ryujin and Patji. The audition scene and the scenes that followed were so good, they were definitely my favourite part of the episode. The chemistry is already there !
Honestly, I didn't fully read the synopsis or watch the entire trailer since I like surprises, so I can't wait to see where the story is going.
You Maniac ep 1 : The violence in the first minute ! 😆 This is so fast-paced, the first episode was wild. I love seeing William and Est in such different roles from their characters in Me and Thee. I also like seeing Barcode and Kin as a pairing for the first time. The chemistry of WilliamEst is fire as always, and they are so handsome ! I love their looks here. I also love the humor, and the colors in the club are so pretty. My eyes are happy. Can't wait for the next episode, I think it's going to be my favorite weekly watch.

You Maniac ep1
I just read your review after watching the first episode, and like you, I really enjoyed it ! I just wanted to mention that the story is set only one month before their first scene together (I had to double-check to be sure 😆). It's only a detail, but maybe it makes more sense that way.

Do you think you could do a top 3 ? I'm curious 😆 And I'm easily influenced !
Ok, I’ll look over my completed shows list. I think it would be two separate lists, one for train wrecks and one for mediocre but fun. Mr. P sends me recommendations for the second category, since he knows what I like.

It's hard to be systematic about naming cute BL trainwrecks which I enjoyed or even loved because I don't keep a list. Also, it's not always clear what counts as a true "trainwreck", but I'll assume an average MDL rating below 6.5 as strong validation.
So with that in mind, here are some that occur to me (in addition to "Lost To Light"), in alphabetical order with average MDL ratings: "1000 Years Old" (6.3), "Dog Bro" (6.4), "Eye Contact" (5.6), "Flirt Milk" (6.4), "Playboyy" (6.1) and "Wooju Bakery" (6.3).
These are full-length BL series that I loved or at least enthusiastically enjoyed (for varying reasons). Although the only one of these that I specifically remember re-watching is "1000 Years Old" (cute, sweet and at times very funny, with catchy earworm songs and a surprisingly touching ending that brought me to tears), I can imagine myself re-watching any or all of these.
There have also been some verts and shorts which would qualify as "cute trainwrecks that I loved", but most are quickly forgettable. One that I do remember: "Love Uncut", which was a severe trainwreck but cute as heck.
The winner of "worst total trainwreck" (subjectively as well as by average MDL rating) that I enthusiastically enjoyed: "Eye Contact". I'm a bit sad that S2 won't ever happen.
@Dora, your thoughts?
@Tiffany, if you want more detailed feedback on any specific title, just ask.
Tiffany:
and it was nice seeing the actor who played Tin and Chat's father (Chai) playing a serious character after seeing him in Match Point
ikr! i cant help but laugh when i think abt how he acted in edge of horizon and how he is in match point lol

Knot (Tuesday, ends 15th)
was it you who asked abt smells in omegaverse? i started it now and i get why it's confusing to non-omegaverse readers. they didnt explain what pheromones were, and phatsa was in a rut when his scent started showing (think abt when a girl starts her period on the scents, minus the rut part lol). the pheromones can also help their partner calm down, and hurt the ones they feel threatened to. (or feel defensive to)
i don't know abt enigmas and heard it first in abo desire. and this is a new knowledge to me, how enigmas are born/produced

Thanks to both of you ! I started a list. When I saw the titles 1000 Years Old and Eye Contact, I could remember the posters even though I couldn't remember the stories. I watched most of Playboyy, so I should probably watch it again. 😆 I think I remember reading something here about Flirt Milk, but I don't remember what was said. I had never heard of DogBro, so I must have missed it.
Wooju Bakery : the mix of different languages felt a bit weird to me, but I should give it a second chance, especially for Jeff and Barcode. I watched the first minute of Lost to Light's trailer, and it seems fun !
I'm not into verticals, so I'll keep the list vertical-free. 😆
jazme:
was it you who asked abt smells in omegaverse?
It was me ! You have a good memory. Thanks for your explanation ! I was mostly confused about Naphitch's reaction, but I understood that he had less control than his brothers because he isn't a true alpha. Since you mentioned it, I want to rewatch ABO Desire, but just for the second couple. 😆

Of the various significant weaknesses, this is indeed the most glaring. Jeff Satur and Barcode are, of course, the main highlight and raisin de regarder, but (if one doesn't try to take it seriously) it's also kind of fun as a zany cringe comedy.

i actually dropped this and felt bad for Jeff Satur and Barcode but i cant bring myself to finish it lol

i think i'm older in the sense i dont do social media as i cant catch up with it
I'm pretty sure I win this contest, but I'll avoid incriminating mentions of rotary dial, eight-track tapes and programming with punchcards.
you always crack me up mr p lmao =))

I think I'll watch these trainwrecks when I'm too tired or can't really focus. 😆
i think that's a good idea =D just to pass the time when you dont want to take anything seriously =D
