hiiii everyone, it's been so long!!!!!!!

my laptop broke again and it took almost 2 months to get it fixed (ᵕ—ᴗ—) and it's still having minor problems. i need to just get a new one lol (if anyone happens to have any advice on good budget gaming laptops lmk 🙏)

i feel like i've missed so much!!!!! i'm a little overwhelmed trying to figure out where to start. what are everyone's favs from completed shows in the last couple months?

on my radar are: Blue Lips, The Prosecutor's Proposal, Don't Be Too Emotional, Journey With You, Knot, 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 :)

i missed you all, i hope everyone's been doing good and enjoying bl's <33333

ETA: also i changed my name on here, it used to be Iota

Welcome back! There have been a lot of good shows this year. I actually gave out a bunch of 9.0 and 9.5, which I have rarely done before. Here’s my list of highest rated shows this year:

Payback 9.5 (my favorite show this year)

Deep In 9.5 (amazing)

Fake Fact Lips/Fake Fact Lips Special 9.5 (delightful)

Sammy’s Children’s Day 9.5 (living rent-free in my head)

The Edge of Horizon 9.0 (InnOngsa are so good, and I learned some Thai history!)

Duang with You 9.0 (watched twice already)

The Prosecutor’s Proposal 9.0 (wonderful surprise hit)

A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills’ Dream 9.0 (top art film quality)

Ticket to Heaven 9.5 (powerful)

Don’t Be Too Emotional 9.0 (not as high quality as the others on this list but still so good.)

The Lie We Lived In 9.0 (surprisingly riveting)

Other shows I didn’t rate as highly but still enjoyed a lot include:

Bittersweet Love (couldn’t look away)

Journey With You (good but not amazing)

When Oranges Fall (delightful)

MuTeLuv: Love Me If You Swear (SurfJava breakout as a fabulous pair)

Fourever You, Season 2 (I thought all the parts were worth watching)

Never Forget Your Enemy (kept my attention)

Love Upon a Time (started to silly but ended so well, plus NetJJ and LatteKim are great couples)

My Romance Scammer (so much fun)

Burnout Syndrome (interesting and thought provoking. Also sexy.)

Awakening the Steppe (sexy/sweet and stunning scenery)

My favorite shows currently airing are: Mr. Fanboy, Summertime, Nour, Popular Serizawa Acts Weird Around Me, and You Maniac. Til I See You and The Missing Piece are also good, and I was impressed with the premier of The Crow Club today.

I’m almost finished with Connecting to You and I like it a lot. I plan to watch Life in Smokey Blue as well as a bunch of other JBLs, but I haven’t gotten to them yet.

Knot was my biggest disappointment of the year, Double Helix was heavily flawed but still an interesting watch (and a great couple), Wishing Upon the Shooting Stars was fun, Love of Silom wasn’t as good as it could have been, and Be My Player Two is cute but nothing great.

Hope you’re not too overwhelmed. It’s been a hard year for anyone to keep up.

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.

thank you!! and thank you for the info!!! i'll be checking out your suggestions as well. especially payback 😇
