My Secret Boyfriends coming Nov 11. I think the date changed...

Yeah, I think the date changed. I had November 8th noted in my watching planner. I love your new profile pic, by the way ! 💜

I quite liked that one.

It reminded me (ever so slightly) of "180 Degree Longitude Passes through Us"

Great compliment !

Great compliment !

To be clear, it reminded me only in the sense of feeling like a stage play. Otherwise, there's little to no similarity.

More relevant to you: We have very high overlap, so if I liked it, you'll probably like it, too! (It's on Gaga.)

the missing piece

I think I was mostly too tired to be fully invested, but I still enjoyed it ! 😊


Last night, I came across a TikTok of Bank Artit talking about playing Ing in Fool in Love (that I will binge watch later).

He said that before accepting the role, he was thinking that he was probably nearing the end of his acting career and that his next role would probably be playing someone's dad. He thought he was probably too old to do BL at 36. But he went to the audition and really liked the role.

I wish him lots of success ! 💜

When I first started watching this show and saw this baby face, I honestly wasn't sure if he could pull it off. This is the first thing I've seen him in, and now I'm just totally obsessed! 😍😍😍😍 Later, when I found out he’s actually 36 with a massive resume, I was even more shocked because I genuinely thought he was like 19 or 20 and that this was his debut show! At some point, I’ll definitely have to check out some of his other stuff.

I went off the grid for a bit because of the presidential election and all the crazy rain. Honestly, I've never seen so much water, hail, lightning, and thunder in my life! On the bright side, the weather has been perfect for binge-watching shows.

Just finished Boy with Caution and Our Youth. Lee Hyeon Jae and Hirukawa Haruki (respectively) are my favourite characters. They were left to fend for themselves, with no one ever bothering to listen to their stories or understand why they act the way they do. They were just labeled as “troublemakers” until someone finally saw them for who they really are. They aren’t easy watches, some scenes are genuinely heavy and were tough for me to get through. Even so, they’re two shows I’d totally recommend.

Love Punch was a movie I checked out because of Takamatsu Aloha (who plays my favorite character in Love is Better the Second Time Around), and it ended up surprising me in the best way possible.

Another series I binged purely for the actors was Xiang Xu Ji, starring the cuties from Meet You at the Blossom. The story is light and fun, and Wang Yun Kai and Li Le need to star in more shows together because their chemistry is undeniable and electric, plus they’re fantastic actors.

Fool in Love: I was a bit skeptical about this one at first, but wow, just wow! The whole cast is killing it, especially Bank, Copter, and Guy. I honestly feel so bad for Itt because all he wants is a little affection from his brother.

The Chemistry is my newest obsession. I spend the entire episodes with a massive, goofy smile on my face because Bever and Tonliew are just irresistible! 😍😍🥰🥰

Mr. Fanboy: That episode yesterday... omg! My box of tissues barely survived. 😭😭😭😭 This show is turning out to be way better than I expected. Yesterday’s episode was all about James, Save, and Nunew. That scene with James and Save on the rooftop was perfection. Honestly, I don’t get all the hate James gets, because I think he’s an incredible actor. Nunew keeps proving himself to be such a versatile, multi-talented actor. Save, Auau, Patji, and Ryujin are really blowing me away, too. I am so ready (and anxious!) for the finale!

I'm interested I will put it on my PTW list.

I only see people complimenting him and Fool in Love 😊 And he does look young !

Just finished Boy with Caution

I really enjoyed it too. 8.5/10 for me.

Hi everyone!

I am finally done will writing all the exams and essays for my university mid-semester exams in German, English and Spanish, and I'm exhausted. Don't get me on illocutionary particles in the German language or the origin of the British constitution because I think my brain cannot take any more info for the next couple of days.

I thought that watching the latest episode of Fool in Love would be the best reward today, but now I'm hesitating: I started watching the first 15 minutes and I stopped.

For the one who have been watching the series while it's airing, did you notice it's running on a 3 episodes cycle : first, seduction/flirt - second, all lovey-dovey/the calm before the storm and finally the storm/craziness/break-ups/fights. After we got ep8 with the reconciliation and ep9 where P'Ing is madly in love while Yok is full of remorse, we are now with ep10 in front of a big big storm coming. Not sure I'm able to face the tsunami tonight!

So for now I'm taking the next hour and a half for a "me, myself and I" time and will see later if I muster enough courage to watch the last 30 minutes.


on another note and for all the ones who fell in love with Bank's smile, I binge watched again last night / early this morning all the episodes of one of his latest straight lakorn The Twin Gambit (2025). I'm still not happy with the way they treat obesity and women bodies in the series, that's the main blocker for me. And Mew's acting (as the first ML) didn't improve since TharnType, sorry for the fans here 🙈 Anyway Bank has the most handsome smile in this show, just for that I could re-watch all the episodes he's in!

THX! It felt like time for a change, but still my fantasy boyfriend Felix!

May I ask where you watched it? It's been on my list for ages.

So after giving it 2 hours thoughts, I'll pass on it for tonight and will watch ep10 and 11 together on Thursday. In the meantime I'll go back to UWMA, because I'm the lucky one with 6 eps left. Life is good 🥰

Re: Fool in Love, same here, it was the first time I saw him in a drama, although his filmography is rather impressive. Personally I thought he was not older than 25, and even told myself that they could have cast someone in his mid-thirties for this role 😅I didn't like the drama poster and hesitated to start it. Good idea I finally went for it, because the first 2 episodes flew by.

The finale is gonna be 🔥Such a fantastic week ahead of us!

KJMDrama:
For now, I’ll get back to Fake Fact Lips

Enjoy! It's such a good drama, I think I'll re-watch it soon, because it was worth every minute of the 10 eps.

:

I don't know why but I like seeing actors with, then without makeup, lol.

i do too. i think it's because we see them as more human without makeup, and still be amazed (or maybe more) with their looks and their acting abilities. (not saying we dont look at actors as humans =)) thanks for sharing =D

same here, I even find some actors more natural (and attractive) without makeup!

Indie Art Girl:

That sounds about right 😄 Glad u enjoyed it!

jazme:

i've just started this now and enjoying it. does this belong to toxic bls? (i dont think so since you can watch it? =))

Yes u are right about that! There's some meanness and melodrama but it doesn't fit what I think a dark and/or toxic drama is like. I've only watched to EP 9 so far. I'm going to watch the rest just before the last ep drops next Saturday so I can finish up all at once.

I don't see it as toxic, at least the main couple is everything but toxic. Nine, the "villain" has some issues and the show has some mentions of harassment and suicide but for me it's neither dark nor toxic. Just a BL with a dark antagonist.

Indie Art Girl:
My Secret Boyfriends coming Nov 11. I think the date changed...

yeah, Nov 11. is a bank holiday here in France, so I'm planning to spend the day in my pyjamas, watching BL all day and maybe even order a pizza so I don't have to cook. Adding this one to my list of BL to watch on Wednesday!

RXinw:
If you guys have the time you absolutely should do a re-watch.

Re: Deep In, I still listen to some of the soundtracks daily, I'm addicted!

Indie Art Girl:

I don't know why but I like seeing actors with, then without makeup, lol.

Phuwin and Williams are even more handsome without make up than with! Thanks for sharing the video!

KJMDrama:
What’s everyone’s thoughts on Revenged Love? I just remembered that broke the BL community last year with how big it was. Should probably finally check it out soon

I liked it, I think it was my first C-drama and I really enjoyed it until ep19, found it a bit long until the end, but that's on me, I kind of get stuck with dramas over 16 eps, whatever kind it is.

Grey:
I haven't seen UWMA yet, but thanks for playing!!

watching it right now (after hearing so many praises about it) and damn it was a good decision. I really love it. It's gonna end up in my list of 9+ dramas.

dora:
Be warned, though, if you’re afraid of snakes. There are lots of them (pets.)

and (human) snakes… don't get me on the ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend!

lol, you made me remember how i hate them =))

@Mr. P

I'm at EP 11 of Lovex3 and have to stop to ask if things get better for Rei. I'm having sympathy pains for him, which I don't usually have for the "villain" or bad boy character. I don't know if I'm reading him right but I get the feeling he's misunderstood a lot and has more to him inside that he hasn't or doesn't know how to show.

Indie Art Girl:

@Mr. P

I'm at EP 11 of Lovex3 and have to stop to ask if things get better for Rei.

I haven't yet watched yesterday's new episode, and there are still two more episodes to go, so I don't know the answer, but a redemption arc would be typical in this type of BL.

GentleSoul:
Gun Shot - November 23.

Really? omg

I might watch. Did they get rid of the part with throwing acid on a woman's face though? It all hinges on this tbh.
