Mine is also Unforgotten Night but I also enjoy Love Stage!! This is the Thai version with Kaownah and Turbo.
I have a love-hate relationship with the Thai Love Stage because I loved the anime/manga series since it was one of the first BL animes I really watched while it was ongoing. However, I was just so upset on how long it took for us to get subtitles that i felt like it ruined it for me. But yeah sometimes you just want something.
Although I think I prefer Kaownah playing a red flag like in TharnType

Nope, I don't think I have any couple that I like so much so to be biased about a series. For example I am a HUGE Until We Meet Again fan but I hated 609 bedtime story and rated it accordingly (may have cursed out the series in a comment section). I think it is because I completely watch series as individual content no matter the actors so the actors become their characters for each individual series.
However I won't watch or be reluctant to watch a series if only one half of a couple I like is in it.
Do you consume content outside the series? I'm just wondering because this is super interesting to me. I love watching behind the scenes stuff and interviews of them.
I am also a huge UWMA fan, but i refuse to watch 609 bedtime story since I haven't heard many good things about it.
BTW I did start To Be Continued and it started okay. I don't have much of opinion on it since it was jsut the first episode.
A very good idea.
Anyone watching City of Stars? I’ve watched up to episode 4 and am enjoying it. Plus, I’ve discovered a new love, LOL. Porsche who plays Krom is adoration especially when he smiles. Anyway, if you’re looking for something light, funny and sweet and cute, then I’d say go watch it.
I'm currently watching it and loving it. I love fluffy romance that is just pure escapism. His smile is so precious.

Well not really, I actually went and counted before replying and I counted 16 non BL content and the only other series I watch outside of BL as each new season drops is Doctor X (AHHHH I LOVE that show to the moon and back which is strange considering it has no romance). I avoid watching behind the scenes footage because I don't want to see the creative process of the story because then it ruins the sense of realism my mind has created; it is kind of like when the fourth wall is broken in books. I like to live in the stories I experience not just watch that is why I am not biased because the actors are no longer themselves but entirely become the characters they are portraying in my mind (perhaps this is an effect of me studying Literature).

Yayyyyyy I love when I meet other fans who love UWMA that series left a mark in my mind. yeah don't watch it for your own peace of mind; I wished someone had given me this warning.

It was the second BL drama I ever watched . I started it in 2020 and it literally came to me when everything went to shit. I swear that show kept me sane that year.

That's fair, and it makes sense. I am personally am someone who likes watching the behind the scenes and interviews because I love getting to know the actors personality too out side of their characters. By personality I do mean the personality they give out because frankly noone really knows them. other than the actual people in their lives, but you know what i mean.
I will also say sometimes social media like tik tok will make me like a show more because of the wonder people who creates edits.
Does anyone else have a series you liked because you like the actors on it? But you can agree it’s actually not good but you still enjoy it. Mine is Unforgotten Night. I don’t think it’s good, but sometimes I find myself rewatching it
I also rather enjoyed "Unforgotten Night", although I don't think I would re-watch it. It helps to not take it seriously and to watch it almost as a spoof of a mafia movie (which it's not intended to be - yes, it's that bad). And of course, it helps that there are some cuties.
In this respect it reminds me of "Playboyy". The story is so garbled, and the acting and directing is at times so bad, especially this past week's Episode 13 (*cringe emoji goes here*). And yet I eagerly look forward to each week's new episode. As with Unforgotten Night, it helps to not take it seriously - and again, it helps that there are ample cuties (plus, of course, Playboyy's lurid appeal *slobber emoji*).
Another I could put in this group is "Hit Bite Love", which is garbled and weird, but has some cuties, especially the debut of Newyear and Jur, who I absolutely adore as the Burger/King side couple. (Although this series is highly flawed, the terrible MDL ratings probably have more to do with moral disapproval, i.e. youth of actors, BDSM theme, and general luridness. I actually rather liked it.)
I'm sure other BLs would come to mind if I think about your question long enough. I'm easily influenced by cuties.
I am also a huge UWMA fan, but i refuse to watch 609 bedtime story since I haven't heard many good things about it.
"Until We Meet Again" is one of my all-time favourites and probably my "most re-watched BL" (yeah, I always skip over the flashbacks when I re-watch it). I've not yet watched "609 Bedtime Story", but I'm sure I will because my love for Fluke and Ohm is more powerful than my distaste for mediocrity.
American Fan:
So a few of us are planning to start watching Love For Love's Sake on Sunday/Monday. @RiqueXinw @OnyxTheHedgehog. And anyone else is welcome!! The more the merrier.
It's very very casual and no strings, no schedule, no deadlines. If one doesn't want to continue or puts the series on hold, no worries.
When posting comments about the series here, I'm thinking it would be a good idea to start with the episode number and then add the comments as a spoiler in case others are at a different place in the series. Which is very likely of course. We won't all be at the same pace.
Does that sound okay?
I'm looking forward to it!
Great!
thatonewhothrives:
It has been postponed ( was originally supposed to air in 2023 or something ) for so long that I was getting tired. Glad to know it will be airing soon.
Also, my first GL was Gap ( I think I only watched like 2-3 of them) and I really disliked it, I don't think GL is really my thing but I'm doing this for InkPa
Edit : apparently we've been waiting 2 years for this
Woah srsly?
I only watched Bad Buddy like a month ago so I didn’t realise it was postponed for so long
Yeah, I don’t read or watch a lot of GL cause I’m mostly into BL but I’m gonna give it a go cause I really liked them as Inkatha in BB
A very good idea.

Not yet but I think I’ll add it to my list then :)

I think Unforgotten Night was funny, I actually enjoyed it. But it's not like Playboyy. Playboyy is a crazy ride and I'm hooked! I love this series, it's so unhinged and bizarre and I really don't think there is any BL like this one. Wait, what was your problem with ep 13? beside the fact (I think) it was the ep with the least amount of NC scenes? XD (but as long as I have PuenAob, I'm over the moon).

(re "Playboyy", esp. Episode 13) Bad acting and writing in many spots, plus lots of mispronounced and utterly incongruous English (why, why, why?), not to mention Nont's ridiculous fashions (gah!). But on the plus side, the mystery and suspense is keeping me hooked, along with the many cuties (I will take Puen, you can have Aob - I will also take Zooey, Teena, First and Phob). I didn't say that I don't like "Playboyy". Yes, as you say, it's a crazy ride!
Although I joke about the lurid appeal *slobber slobber*, I actually don't care about this so much, other than for the novelty in a BL. If I want, I can just watch real porn.

I think the bad acting and script is part of this series charm XD Look, they are nice and kind, speaking in English for us international fans =D Nont is a fashion icon, how can you say that about him? hahaha I will take both puen and Aob, and I'm not sharing ;P You can take Zouey, First and Phob. I'll take Keen, Jump, Nont and Soong (about Teena - we can share hahaha)
Do you say the weird NCs are not sexy? hahaha though some are good, I think they improved over time.
GL drama before so I'm really excited!OnyxTheHedgehog:
You know there is a GL Drama Lovers' Club, too, right?
