Hi Stay. I love Hannie of SKZ! Sorry I just had to jump in to say that. :-)

They started out in Kiss Me Again as a side couple and had their epilogue in the Our Skyy series and then as a continuation of their story they got their own series called Dark Blue Kiss you can watch their story solely in Kiss Me Again instead of watching the whole series.

Ohh nooo, I dropped Kiss Me again and gave Our Skyy a low for me rating...of course all long before Cherry Magic. Dark Blue Kiss was a much better watch imo. I'm gonna watch the kissing links I saw posted earlier haha.  

Thank you again for all the fab upcoming BL titles! Doesn't sound like a shortage of goodies ahead!!

Hahahahaha

He is next in line after Felix  <3 :-) But often the same since they are the sunshine twins after all.

I watched today's Episode 1 of "Close Friend Season 3: Soju Bomb". I sacrificed myself and watched it so you don't have to. This should give you a hint as to what I'm about to write ...

It's a Thai-style comedy in Seoul about five very cute Thai boy idols-in-the-making who engage in Korean-style binge drinking (which disgusts me), get completely wasted, and go wild and crazy. So far, there is zero hint that this is now, or will ever be, a BL. I'm not sure why it's on Gagaoolala and why it's tagged as "gay". In fact, I'm not sure why I just watched it. Unless you're into binge-drinking cute boys who get into trouble, so far it's pretty awful. (Note 1: It's mostly young first-time actors. Note 2: While Seasons 1 and 2 are on Viki, Season 3 is on Gaga, which is itself rather odd.)

I'm also not sure why it's called "Close Friend Season 3". There is, so far as I can tell, zero overlap of cast, characters, story or even style. As background for those who didn't see the "prequels" (which aren't really prequels): The first season of "Close Friend" (Viki, 2021) consisted of six completely independent episodes (i.e. BL short stories) ranging from OK to quite good; on the whole, I liked it. "Close Friend Season 2" (Viki, 2022)  took two of these episodes and weaved them into a complete BL series, and although reviews were mixed, I liked it even more, especially the way in which it built on the two short stories and thus made these more interesting in retrospect. The final episode of  Season 2 ended with an epilogue on the roof of a building in Seoul, intended as a hook into a future third season. So far, I can't see any connection at all to this so-called "Season 3". 

Maybe it will get better with future episodes. Maybe there will be a connection to the prequels. Maybe it will become a BL. Fingers crossed ... but I'm not holding my breath.

Thank you so much

Hmm. I actually enjoyed the first episode. A reminder of how my youth was spent. Albeit, first episodes are to set the scene, I imagine there is more to come given the tag lines.

We were warned this had nothing to do with the first, two seasons of Close Friends though, and having read the synopsis, I wasn't expecting any connections with the former.

Speaking of Jimmy Karn, I saw that he was in the final episode of "DMD Friendship the Reality" (and very deliberately seated next to Tommy!) - so maybe they're planning a BL comeback for him/them?

I don't think Jimmy & Tommy ever ended. Domundi has been keeping them together in most videos they released in the last year, I think they are very much still a pair and we'll get something with them eventually. That being said! I really came here to tell you that 'DMD Friendship The Reality' will have an extra episode that will be released tomorrow, in case you want to watch.  \o/

Guys, can any of you tell me where to watch Kiss x Kiss x Kiss?? I can't find it anywhere

Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm usually not so keen on reality-type series but I really loved this one - partly because the guys were so appealing (through whatever combination of good looks, charming personality and/or raw sex appeal), partly because the series is very orchestrated and thus drags less than true reality shows, but most of all knowing that I will be seeing this new slate of very promising actors in future BLs. And wow, some of the shows in the finale were amazing! Domundi/Mandee totally succeeded: They got me very invested in their third-gen actors and especially the new CPs from the show.

A fansubber, OhMySubber did all episodes from the latest series and some from the previous series. Not sure if they are still up though.

I knew you'd be interested lol 

Right, I'm super invested now. Hopefully we'll get an update on what, when, and where, we can see them all next. I think they might do an announcement for two new official cps in this episode, but what I'm really hoping for is a show announcement.

Yesterday's first episode of "1000 Years Old" (Gaga): Vampire theme but seems to be a mediocre Thai rom-com - so vampire fans, don't get your hopes up. So far: "Meh."

Well, that's what I wrote almost four weeks ago.
Since then, the series has grown on me. The protagonists have grown on me. Yeah, it's a silly Thai comedy - but cute and fluffy in the way of silly Thai comedies. It's mediocre or even pretty bad - but bad in a so-bad-that-it's-kinda-good kind of way, if one doesn't take it too seriously. It's also got the nice-group-of-friends thing that Thai comedies so often do well.

Please don't throw things at me!  And if anyone shares my opinion, please feel free to chime in, as this will reduce my embarrassment for admitting that I like it. *blush emoji*

Stop, you're getting me too excited !!! *jumping-up-and-down emoji*
