I love “love in the air too”! I don’t care much for rain, but I love payu!! I am not into pretty dolls, whose only job in a relationship is to pout… but that’s just my opinion, and if I have offended any rain fans, I apologise :)Sruthipriya mahesh:
No offense, haha. If I remember right Rain does some maturing to gain approval and admiration from Payu. Payu sets expectations for Rain if Rain wants to be in a relationship with him. And I admit a naughty pouty cutie isn't always a bad thing. :-) :-)
Oh my, and here I have Theory of Love a 9/10American Fan:
I also liked "Theory of Love". Yeah, the first half dragged and could have been two episodes shorter, but things got much better starting with Episode 7, and the final episode left me very satisfied. Despite some flaws in execution, the story resonated with me. Gun's acting was really great - so much emotion with so few words.
Honestly, Secret Crush On You was so funny. If watched without taking anything serious
Same. Although I found it rather cringe at first, "Secret Crush" quickly grew on me, and after a few episodes I quite liked it (as entertaining Thai fluff, not to be taken too seriously). The dynamic among the Four Friends was really sweet.
And I admit a naughty pouty cutie isn't always a bad thing. :-)
Yeah, I also liked the "naughty pouty cutie" / "troublemaker kitten" (Rain in LITA). By the way, your earlier characterisation of Payu/Rain as "dangerous tiger" and "troublemaker kitten" is absolutely perfect, haha!
Hmm, dare I say it, (hiding so RiqueXinw doesn't see this) I have not seen Law of Attraction. Is it a worth my time? Is there a lot of violence?
To be fair this is not one of the sacred BLs at least in my opinion even though I gave it a 10.

Funny enough this goes against my whole being but they had so much chemistry, growth and romance that I overlooked or was not irritated rather by the seemingly dominant and submissive roles. Maybe it is because I also watched it and not read it, because I avoid books with this theme like the plague. I always love to see two dominant personalities going at it especially if the trope is enemy to lovers. That one slap scene in LITA really pissed me off, because it clashes against my personality and the personalities I grew up around, because slap who, you must be dreaming and you better wake up quick too. Maybe it is a Jamaican thing, not that I am perpetuating a stereotype but this sentiment does resonate with a large amount of Jamaicans.

Haha great minds and all that... high five!

The spoiler didn't copy over so I shortened your comment. I don't remember that scene, so I'll be on the lookout for it and the context.
Just watched the newly released first episode of "Koi wo Suru nara Nidome ga Joto" (Gaga: "Love is Better the Second Time Around"). Seems promising so far. Interesting story idea that resonates with me personally: crossing paths later in life with a high school love interest that never materialised. I just hope that, as the backstory unfolds over the six episodes, this doesn't turn into the usual Japanese miscommunication cliché.
@p42435, I really loved the two friendship groups in La Cuisine and I think that’s one of the things that carried me through the series. I totally agree with you on the ‘evil competitive girl who wants the ML back’ troupe. When I saw it in this show, I went not again.
@American Fan, you’ve not watched History 3: Trapped?! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? It’s one of my all time favourite BLs. RiqueXinw was right to give you a sentence, LOL!
IFYLA , Triage, Manner of death, the sign, secret crush on you - you know there are a LOT of such dramas, but these ones I have it on high priority to never watch them :)
Gasp! Why stay away from IFYLITA, Manner of Death and The Sign? I loved all three of these and gave them a 9. You should try to give it a go. They are really good. I haven’t seen Triage and would stay away from it as I don’t like time travelling troupe and having seen Secret Crush on You, I can understand why some people would stay away from it but overall, I still enjoyed it.
sjay:
Just out of curiosity, do you guys have any BL's that you to refuse to watch/start? If yes, which dramas?
There’s quite a few in my not interested list but I mainly stay away from horror, time travelling and animal turning into human troupes. So, I definitely will not be watching Absolutely Zero, Time, Shadow, DFF, Choco Milk Shake.
Hmm, dare I say it, (hiding so RiqueXinw doesn't see this) I have not seen Law of Attraction. Is it a worth my time? Is there a lot of violence?
you. are. missing. out. I really enjoyed Laws of Attraction (it's a very light murder mystery, the keyword being light ) with a nice twist at the end, and also a happy ending. I think I gave it a 9.5 or 10.
OnyxTheHedgehog:
Could someone pls help me decide what to watch next on my PTW list? https://kisskh.at/dramalist/SIS2009/plan_to_watch
I envy your PTW list. How do you make it this short? It's beautiful. My dream.
Do you have a vibe or theme you're in the mood for?

Short? Haha I thought it was long lol
Hmm, I think I'm in the mood for a cute but spicy BL with an interesting (maybe fantasy or action?) plot (so not completely romance)
