American Fan:
We can all be secret buddies together :-) :-)
I would like to thank you all for your warm, sweet welcome and for your many recommendations! It makes me very happy.
I appreciate it a lot that you shared your lists.
Looking at some of your profiles I am amazed how beautiful your profiles are. They look great with the banners and pictures of the drama cover pictures.
You can literally feel how much love and engagement each of you puts into this theme and the community. :-)
Now I need to decide what to watch next... Maybe I need to flip a coin. :D
I couldn't quote a long post and I don't know if it is possible to quote severalMagnoliee:
posts in my answer,
You can quote a selection from someone's post, like I just did with your statement above, and repeat it with other posts into the same box. Just highlight the content you want to respond to and a little pop up above the highlighted area will say "quote". Click on that (instead of the quote button at the bottom) and it puts your selection in a new box for you! Then you can add your comment before selecting a new post to add in the same box. Just repeat!
@Chun Mo Rionnag,
Thank you so much for so many recommendations! :D
It's amazing. Even with short descriptions. I really appreciate your efforts.
I have so much to catch up and I don't know where to start.
I didn't think there would be so many on the subject of office.
I've just added four more series to the list for you. Still think I'm missing a few though.
Sruthipriya mahesh:
were you a part of your school's theatre club when you were young or what??
So expressive, hahahaha ;)
Sorry for the late replies I spent the whole day in court today; which was fun at least for someone doing law such as myself it is fun. I have you know that I am still young, mature but young. I am just 19 (THE COLLECTIVE GASPS) ok maybe I should have joined a theatre club lolll. However I am also Literature student so maybe that accounts for it as well as the long post I tend to send (sorry guys)
I can suggest some really good ones, that might just heal you :)
I would love to hear your recs. I have been considering for a while to take a step back from BLs. I think I have been so sensitized to them that I have began being too critical. When that step back will take place...who knows.
How? Aren't you Jamaican?
Do they really air on local TV there?*shocked*
Yes they did. I do not know if it still happens because I have not watch local television in years because of the many online streaming platforms available now and I get all my news from the social media accounts of the various news outlets. I will ask my grandma though.
The Family Man (it's a mystery murder) and this Telugu drama called Miss Perfect (that's a romantic one)... Dahaad is also really good... at least for me, they don't have too many off-putting drama elements... try watching them, I think you might like them :)
Thank you for these.
I also apologize for the late reply... I had a super hectic day - a doctor's appointment, an exam and what not - so sorry for not being able to get back soon :(
No problem. I hope all went well with (Not me with the alliteration) your doctor's appointment and exam
But I'm so glad I found MDL and this group cause I can finally openly talk about and enjoy BL dramas w others just like me :)OnyxTheHedgehog:
I feel the same way.
We can all be secret buddies together :-) :-)
The League Of BL, we operate in secret, but a mighty force that can shake the very foundation of the industry when a series collective pisses us off. Cue the dramatic music

Oh, I understand. IFYLITA is very emotional but I would encourage you to continue as it will get better and there’s a slight twist. Plus, there’s beautiful NC scenes in episode 10 and 12. Yes, the ending is a bit confusing but overall it’s still a good story. I gave it a 9.
The same goes for Moonlight Chicken as it gets better as the story goes on and the ending is a nice one.
I'll consider it, thank you. :-) I'm working on shortening my CW list right now so I can start some new dramas. Not sure which ones yet. I've tried just going straight down my PTW list but that didn't work for long. Then I tried dramas with the least amount of episodes to knock em out quick. And also tried the lowest rated dramas cuz I figure I might not like most of them so they could be a quick drop. In the end I couldn't stick with any plan to save my soul. Ugh! I frustrate myself sometimes haha. I should just close my eyes and click somewhere on the list. That would be more fun.

I am gasping, you have an old soul. You are wise beyond your years :)
I have been considering for a while to take a step back from BLs. I think I have been so sensitized to them that I have began being too critical. When that step back will take place...who knows.
So I took an unplanned step back from watching so many (and almost exclusively) BLs a month or two ago. I wasn't as enthused while watching what I objectively knew were decent BLs and the show conversations I read everywhere just got on my nerves. I found myself getting back into K and Jdramas of various types and rewatching some old BL favs. It also helped to add some shows that aren't romance heavy into the mix. So, I ultimately discovered I still love BLs but an exclusive diet of them is a no go for me.
"Mi still a draw fi old money and mi nuh draw fi nuh new money yet, fresh drop"
I feel that this song is fitting for these fresh drops considering new BLs and I still have old ones I have yet to watch.
Lord have mercy on my eyes.

Yeah maybe I will still watch BLs but watch other dramas at the same time, like now I am watchingThe First Empress along with my usual BL watches. Let's see if this makes a difference.
Oh I just started ep 1
lmao it was so fast, I was laughing so much when Kai just suddenly came up to Hiro and was like 'Are you dead?'
And when he told Hiro he was gay and Hiro was like 'THAT'S WORSE'
Only 10 mins into the series and it's hilarious haha
Or is it just me?
Cool that you're having fun with the show! There are some good lines and situations.
