On a separate subject, I just watched the final episode of "Bake Me Please". In a word: Meh. Or maybe my expectations were just too high. It's a shame because it had the ingredients to be good if only the recipe (story/script/character development) were better. (Apologies for the culinary wordplay.)p43425:
Oh this series I have seen the clips and originally I could not find the interest to watch because I am so attached to the Until We Meet Again couple that it seemed off putting to watch the actors play different roles where they are not a couple. However I had to come to the understanding that them acting different roles in separate series does not change the beautiful story they once portrayed. With that being said I was planning to watch and then I saw the reviews and yeah hell no am I going to watch one half of my one of my hit couples star in something that ain't at least a 8 rating based on consensus.

Agree, it actually started so well. I really liked the 3 first eps, then they had to bring on all the drama and ruin it. It just went downhill. Such a shame. I like Guide though, he gives off such good vibes, I also liked him in IFYLITA. Also, now I'm waiting to see Poom in another BL :)

(re "Bake Me Please") Yes, Guide is a good actor (and a cutie), and Peach and his grandmother are probably the two best characters in the series.

I don't mind Ohm and Fluke doing BLs with others - but having set such an incredibly high standard in UWMA (one of the most powerful BL love stories of all time!), whatever else they do had better be really good, and in "Bake Me Please", Ohm's character Shin was unlikeable and poorly developed (or rather, the "development" felt really forced), and I was also underwhelmed by Ohm's acting performance, which felt so stiff.

Agree, though maybe the best characters in this series were the cakes XD

Also agree with that! it's like they gave him some development until ep 3, and then he just went backwards as if he hasn't changed at all, then by the end it felt so rush. I've seen people criticizing Ohm's acting in it, and imo it wasn't terrible, maybe it's also part of the character itself, but it indeed felt stiff. Not his best acting performance.
Sorry, no one asked me but I'll add my bit regarding UWMA anyway. :-)
I almost didn't watch it due to the sensitive subject matter (that I have personal experience with), so it took me awhile to get through it. The heavy and depressing vibe, plus the constant crying. oy! I didn't like most of the characters and for some unknown reason Earth just rubs me the wrong way. Just thinking about this series feels like a downer, but luckily it's way in the past.

Yes to Guide the cutie and his grandmother! I really liked him. I also liked Guy, but not the character he played. I should see if he's in anything else...

Poom supposed to be in another BL as a main, it's called My Stand-In. By the series page it's him and Up (Put from Step by Step, if you've watched it) as mains.
That is understandable glad that you are doing much better now.
Thank you. But I should clarify my comment - by "personal experience" I meant that a close family member passed away by suicide. I don't mean to bring it up so casually, as it's anything but. It's also not a comfortable topic for most people, I do respect that.

Oh yes it's on my watch list, thanks for pointing that out! I did see Step by Step and I liked Up. I didn't like the series though.

Fukou-kun wa kiss suru shikanai was short and cute, loved the penguin plush.
I remember it as a cute watch!
I'm on ep. 4 of Venus In The Sky. One half of me wants to stop but the other half loves the quirkiness of it all. It can be slow and a bit boring at times (there is a certain scene though...NOT boring!). Apparently there's enough to keep me going on to the next episode. :-)
