... but this time it seems they've excluded some European countries (Germany, France, etc.). Grrrr.

Thanks I knew there was a promotion going on thanks to a post on the feeds, but I was hoping it might depend on the country and that a promotion for European countries would come later. 😞

I'm a bit overwhelmed by the iQiyi line-up from the various production companies, but at least I have the ten Mandee titles sorted out, which are (L to R in backdrop below):  “Hug E-Lhee”, “Passenger Seat Number X”, “Scent Of Sorrow”, “You(r)Tuber”, “20 Lists”, “Friend Benefit”, “30 Days of Us”, “Into Racha”, “Did You Know” (GL), “Still Holding Up Like The Moon”.

Yeah there is a lot with the iQiyi and a lot of shows that were annouced to be in production, but from which I don't think there was even a pilot trailer filmed for the event. However MosBank are getting a new series Identity Zero together as the main couple and there was even a trailer!

@Indie Art Girl I am just back to say Lee Know going to the military was confirmed today. (First quarterof 2027)<3 . It was expected but a little sad. Have to wait how future events afzer the enlistment will be.

Hey, thanks for thinking of me! 😄

Yeah I saw the announcement on insta while I was up in the night. Woke me right up! I posted it on the discussion board in the Music group, yk the Stray Kids thread. It'll for sure feel sad and when the others have to go too, but I hope I'm not one of those crazy fans that get super emotional about it, haha. I saw what fans went through when BTS served, and no thank you!

K-Dramafan21:

I finished watching Between Us yesterday and have to say I really loved it. A 8.5 for me so really good.

Yay! I think I might have to start a "Rewatch" list for certain dramas to consider doing another watch. I'm not usually into rewatches but sometimes when a drama I've seen is talked about here it does influence me to at least think about it. This way I'll have a list for the titles that tempt me! 😍😆

K-Dramafan21:

I am still so hyped on The Grim lover.

Meee too!!

dora:

I am watching all three shows. Fool in Love is fabulous, but in large part due to Bank Artit as Ing, whose acting is superb. His face conveys so much more than he says, and he lends a sexiness and sexual tension to practically every scene he is in. The show is definitely in lakhorn territory, with lots of drama, manipulation, and red-flag behavior, but Bank Artit makes it a thrill to watch. He is my new crush—and many other people’s as well. (I posted a bunch of photos of him Here.) This is a must watch! At 20 episodes, though, it will take time to get through, but at least we are getting two a week.

Well damn! This series is getting quite the all round recommendation. I just might jump in and catch up to where it is now in airing.

dora:

Also Namna is truly exquisite to look at.

😏😏😏

dora:

wearing nothing but underwear way too often.

Say less 😍

dora:

Exhibit B: Namna from Oops! Mysterious Sounds

HOLY F**KING GOD!!! I have nothing innocent to say!!! I need to go stalk his IG IMMEDIATELY!!!!

@RX, ditto to what Dora wrote. The murder mystery hasn't gotten on track yet (although still three episodes to go), but I love the main couple and the electricity between them!

I need figure out a watch schedule and make my BL comeback 🤔

dora:

there’s even a real threesome.

Real? Meaning pornography? I am asking for a friend 😇

@RX (for your friend 😂😂😂)

Re: Twisted Tie

*18+ content following:

Yes, real threesome, as in porn. Someone wrote in the comments: “Lee was pitching and catching at the same time.” It was very explicit/realistic, (although some note issues with lack of cleanliness, lube, and condoms. I’m pretty used to none of that being realistic, though.)

One realistic moment I appreciated was early on the bottom mentioned “he had a reason for keeping his stomach empty.” 😉😉😉

As someone who keeps careful track of developments in the BL world, you clearly need to watch this, “for scientific purposes.”

Of note, the vertical Painter of the Night also includes a threesome, although it is not so explicit. I know verticals are low-priority or a no-go for many people, but this is worth making an exception for, especially for lovers of dark romance. The series deserved a full-length series, not a vertical, but it was still pretty good. (It is now available on Gaga and IQiyi, I believe, although only in the mobile versions. 😡)

I have started reading the manga, and it is burning in my hands. The show in no way reflects the original accurately, but it does give the right flavor to the series, if not an adequate amount of NC scenes.

For anyone who likes explicit and dark romance, I would definitely recommend reading the manga. The artwork is also really beautiful as well as absolute 🔥🔥🔥. I haven’t gotten that far into the series, though, so I don’t want to vouch for all of it yet, but I loved volume one enough to buy all 6 volumes.

@Art Girl

I know I’m old and clueless, so can you please explain the wave/duck emoji reference? I tried to look it up but I’m not sure what I found makes sense.

@Tiffany

I’m glad you like my tattoo. 😊

@Mr. P

I’m not at your level but I can recognize most of the Domundi actors. All the shows are in my PTW list as well. So far I have found every Mandee production totally worth watching, although I did drop both the Copy A Bangkok ones. 🤞🏻TutorYim get something worthwhile with The Scent of Sorrow.

Needless to say, my caption referred to the Domundi actors Ton Saran and Nick Abiven.

I'm a bit overwhelmed by the iQiyi line-up from the various production companies, but at least I have the ten Mandee titles sorted out, which are (L to R in backdrop below):  “Hug E-Lhee”, “Passenger Seat Number X”, “Scent Of Sorrow”, “You(r)Tuber”, “20 Lists”, “Friend Benefit”, “30 Days of Us”, “Into Racha”, “Did You Know” (GL), “Still Holding Up Like The Moon”.

These titles were all previously introduced in the 2026 and 2025 Domundi/Mandee line-ups, so nothing really new other than some supporting cast details, but it's interesting to see how many iQiyi has picked up.

ETA: Plus also two more, "No. 1 Student" and "Unknown", which are "iQiyi Original"/Domundi co-productions - so that's a total of 12 Domundi/Mandee titles in the iQiyi 2027 pipeline.
