I watched Deep Night last night and I'm hooked, it's so good, I get why everyone here was excited about it. 

I am glad that you are enjoying it really is amazing so far.

I was checking out the first few pages of the BL Drama Lovers Club chat and just realised that my name's not on the 'members' list TT 

 Hannah:

wedding plan is just so cute and fun and fluff with a bit of spice. It’s one of my favorites and I’m glad  gave it a second chance and enjoyed it.

Me too!!

The 8th Sense EP 9

I missed this during my first watch, but I listened to the song very closely while credits were rolling, and explains why it was meaningful for Ji Hyun to send it to Jae Won. 

It's going on my playlist. :-) :-)

That song caused Conan Gray to make it into my top Spotify artists of 2023 lol

I bet. It'll be on repeat for awhile. haha

It's funny how my opinion of a series can evolve over its course.

I was so enthusiastic about "Sukiyanen Kedo Do Yaro ka" (Gaga: "Although I Love You, and You?") after watching the first episode. I was so sure this would be a 10-star series. But I got less and less enthusiastic over later episodes. And even after certain questions were resolved in the final episode, I was still disappointed, despite my hormone-fueled love for Sakae-kun. My final rating: 8 stars.

On the other hand, after the first episode of "1000 Years Old" (Gaga) I thought the comedy series was so cringe (and not in a good way) - but by Episode 4 I loved it. Yeah, it's goofy and low-budget but also so cute and fluffy-sweet. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's Episode 7, something I couldn't imagine after the first episode. My provisional rating has gone from 7 stars (for me, that's really low) to 9 stars.

This dynamic is a bit different from "Middleman's Love" ("uncut" version on Viki or iQiyi - "cut" version on Gaga is missing some of the best parts). In this case, the series started terrible and got much better, especially Episode 7 (for Gus/Tong fans) and Episode 8 (for Tutor/Yim fans). In this case, it's not my opinion that evolved so much as the series itself. Subsequently rewatching the first episode didn't really change my opinion of it.

Sorry for being noisy today. Here's my fourth post in a row: 

I stumbled across a newly posted 8-minute Japanese BL short. Theme: Just finished school and heading off to university. It's very low budget but quite cute and sweet. The subtitles have some major translation errors (presumably auto-translate), but it's not that complicated, so everything should be clear. It's a bit unclear what the actual title is, but from the quotation marks, I'm guessing it's "Wakatteru yo! Kimi ni sonoke ga nai koto kurai" ("I know! ️The only thing is that you don't have that intention.") Or maybe it's the second description line: "Gakkou seikatsu, yari nokoshita koto wa arimasen ka?" ("Do you have any unfinished business in your school life?") Or maybe it's the photo inscription (below): "Otoko doushitte ari?" ("Is it OK for two guys to be together?). I can't find it in MDL.

Anyways, I thought it was a worthwhile eight minutes of my life. Link in above paragraph.
