Jazz for Two
I think I only watched the scenes of the "second couple" because it's not in my list I should give it a try.
Unintentional Love Story
I think I did the same with this one.
Thundercloud Rainstorm
This one ! I was supposed to watch it when it was airing, but I couldn't get used to Yoon Jisung as an actor because I still saw him as Yoon Jisung from Produce and Wanna One. It's not really fair to him, especially since I don't have this problem with other members like Park Jihoon or Ong Seongwoo. I think it's time to watch it. Thanks for your recommendations !
I like rewatching, but I generally need to wait a few months between watches. But yes, this one was good. 😊
Tiffany:
I love Mr. Fanboy too I want to recommend to you Popular Serizawa Acts Weird around Me, You Maniac and Police in Love.
Thanks for the recommendation! I watched Popular Serizawa and it's a cute one. A bit similar to School Trip: Joined a group I'm not close to, but I enjoy it. From a timing perspective, as I'm watching also After Moving Seats, the Boy Behind Me Has a Crush on Me, it's sometimes a bit confusing, and I mixed up the stories twice already. Next time I'll try (and most probably fail) to watch them one after the other.
Mr Fanboy is already in my Watch List, I like it so far!
I may start either You Maniac or Police in Love this weekend. Or maybe both as most of my airing series finished /are finishing this week.
By the way, is it me or is September a bit quieter in regard to new airing shows? May and June were just so insane, it took me almost the whole Summer to be up to date, and I still have When Oranges Fall to catch up.

Now I have to go look up those songs
Enjoy!
Indie Art Girl:
Wow was it that long!?! It's so nice you are back!
Thank you 🥰 Yeah no idea where the time went. I remember it was end of July and suddenly it's mid-September.
Shhh, **in a whisper**, I dropped Class Crush Crisis, My Summer of You and Your Summer My Storm.
My Summer of You was really slowwwwwwwwwww but I loved it. At least you couldn't complain there are too many NC scenes with this one! 🤭
jazme:
the forum has not that been that active lately, so i'm assuming it would be 100 pages or more if it were lol.
lucky me lol
I tried and did my best reading through all pages but gave up after 30-35 pages and jumped to the last 5. I'm sure I missed quite a lot of nice conversation but it can't be avoided.

I agree, and maybe it's just me, but in the last episode, I suddenly thought of Hira from My Beautiful Man, reaction-wise.
After Moving Seats, the Boy Behind Me Has a Crush on Me, it's sometimes a bit confusing, and I mixed up the stories twice already. Next time I'll try (and most probably fail) to watch them one after the other.
That means I did the right thing by waiting for this one to finish airing.

I think the whole summer was pretty insane, and now things are going back to normal. But maybe I'm saying that because I'm waiting for a lot of shows to finish airing. 😆
My Summer of You was really slowwwwwwwwwww but I loved it.
I feel like a lot of people agree with this, but I didn't really feel it because I watched it without any breaks. 😆

That's already a lot to read !

@Portugalia, welcome back!
There has been an unprecedented number of new JBLs over the past month or two, which is itself an interesting fact. As to the individual titles, my favourite of these (same as Tiffany): "Popular Serizawa Acts Weird around Me".
Thank you!
I noticed the increase in the new JBLs. Right now I finished My Summer of You, and started immediately after both After Moving Seats, the Boy Behind Me Has a Crush on Me and Popular Serizawa Acts Weird around Me. Not sure it was the best decision as all 3 series share similarities (a shy guy x the popular guy of the class, first love, high school stories). But so far I enjoy both of them.
I started Duty First, Kiss Later out of curiosity and it's ok, a bit more grown up men is a good change of scenery.
I may give a try to season 2 of Love Is Better the Second Time Around, but I'm undecided right now.
But Fake Fact Lips remains by far my fav JBL this year.
GUYS, I GOT ACCEPTED INTO MY KOREAN CLASS !!! 💜
congrats! For sure you'll be fully fluent when you come back from your trip and you will nail it! I'd really love to learn Korean to be able to fully understand all dramas I watch, because with the subtitles in English, so many details / small things get lost.
But right now it's Chinese class starting in 2 weeks, I can't wait.

@Portugalia67
I was hoping for a special episode for Love Destiny. Probably what really irritated me the most about this drama was the fact that, while the pacing and progression of their relationship is realistic the show just doesn't give you any time to actually enjoy them, you know, being together. 😮💨
Not even a kiss to celebrate them meeting again. The symbolic with the flower was nice but I could almost hear the director screaming "cut" the second Dech put it in Gaew / Great's mouth. I really though there was another episode after this! 🤡
I just dropped a highly rated C-historical after only 6/40 eps. It was making me depressed
C-Historical dramas with more than 24 eps are a no-go for me, I tend to drop mid-way. It took me weeks to finish Pursuit of Jade and I still have 4 eps left of Legend of the Female General. Add a bit of fantastic/magic/reincarnation to it, and you lose me the first hour! 😅
has anyone experienced a change in the notifications? i can still receive notifications but not quotes, just replies in the thread that i follow (like replies here but not if anyone quotes me)
It didn't work the last few days but tonight the quotes are back, or at least I got some, which was not the the case before.

Yup, you're right about the conceptual similarities, especially the latter two titles (possibly because they're deliberately trying to capitalise on the success of "School Trip"?) - although the writing in "Serizawa" brings in some very original new elements.
I'm watching all three in parallel, and what helps me to keep them separate in my mind is my mental focus on the characters and on certain actors I'm already familiar with from other BLs (especially Oku Tomoya, who I loved as cute little rascal Asuka in "Minato's Laundramat", and Konishi Eito, who I loved as country mouse Taishin in "Takara's Treasure").

If I'm quiet in this group for the next while, it's because I'm travelling.

It's even my favorite JBL of all time !

Thank you ! I often complain about Netflix subtitles to my friends. Chinese seems difficult, but it must be really interesting to learn. 😊

It's nice that the season 2 of School Trip is not airing at the same time as Serizawa.

Have fun !
cain:
on my radar are: Blue Lips, The Prosecutor's Proposal, Don't Be Too Emotional, Journey With You, and Life In Smokey Blue. i'd love to hear what you guys thought of these or if there's any other shows that are worth checking out :)
Hi! Welcome back!
Blue Lips was a deception, honestly except for ep3 which was excellent, there is not much to say about it. The Prosecutor's Proposal and Don't Be Too Emotional are both a 9/10 for me. As for the last 2 you mentioned I can't say much, I didn't watch them.
Deep In and Fake Fact Lips would be my fav from this year, as well as Sammy's Children's Day. And Payback if you want to add a Thai BL (with crazy NC scenes) to my selection.
