Aside from these, what are your own favourite sources of "BL news" (aside from this excellent group)?

My favorite source is RiqueXinw. haha jk

I'm familiar with the YT BL channels as they are in my feed regularly but I haven't subscribed to any. I don't have any to share. Actually right here is usually my main resource, other than random YT vids. I didn't know some of the other sites, so thank you for sharing! 


 p43425:
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.

Interesting. When I used your YT link here's the title that came up for me. "I Fell In Love With a Friend of The Same Sex." Also not on MDL. Super cute cast but yeah, the subs are terrible.

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

Funny, I feel the same if I post too much, but it never bothers me when others do. It's just nice to be able to have this forum. Post away!

Maybe, but I don't see anything in the Japanese that matches that. By the way, "eh" means "huh?" (or "yeah"), not "picture" as horribly translated in the subtitles. But you're a smartie, so I'm sure you figured that out.

Yeah, I was able to follow along, but it's amazing how just a few words changes everything about the meaning. My brain doesn't like working hard for entertainment purposes, haha.

When you use this link, which is what came up for me after clicking on your link, do you get the same title I do? I'm just curious if we are seeing the exact same info from different countries or if our IP's change the titles and stuff we see but the vid is the same? Does that make sense?

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 

That's cuz the list of names is updated periodically, and you may have missed the last update. You'll be there next time! 

I just ran into these two new titles I've never heard of before. They were on another pfp.

Can I Love You?

Mafia Prince & Bookworm  On high priority!

Has anyone heard any news about these two? Or know if they are cancelled or going ahead?

 American Fan:
do you get the same title I do?

Yes. One might assume that it's the title - but as I wrote, it doesn't quite add up, so I'm thinking that might just be a descriptor. If anything the photo inscription ("Otoko doushitte ari?" = "Is it OK for two guys to be together?") sounds more like a title. *shrug emoji goes here*

Ent.Sync Thailand, the production company for both of these, seems to be a mess - see BL Tai posts from 19 February and  4 March. Don't hold your breath ...

The Discord group of which I am a member posts updates as they appear on X, and they have Hunters who actively seek out updated information from various sources. Often the new series mentioned there are not yet listed on MDL or TV Time.

Don't worry. I had to contact the thread owner after noticing both myself and my friend had been members for over a year without mention. It's hard to catch everyone who joins to add to the list. Imagine dragging through 100s of pages to find when people joined.

Oh well yeah it sounds iffy. 

Who else played spot the actor from another K-BL while watching episodes 1 and 2 of "Jazz for Two"?  We had the boys from the director's other series "A Shoulder to Cry On" make their cameo in episode 1, and we have two actors playing brothers both of whom played in both seasons of "To My Star". Kim Jin-Kwon. We also have Byun Sung-Tae from "Happy Merry Ending" playing the brother of the other main character, Han Tae-Yi.

Thailand's lower house passed the marriage equality bill!!! Landslide too, 400 for out of 415 present, with only 10 against and support across all the major parties. The margin is big enough the upper house can't overturn it. It needs royal endorsement (don't know if it's just a formality as in the UK but it doesn't seem to be considered an impediment). So not there yet but it looks like all that's left is just going through the rest of the process. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

spot the actor from another K-BL while watching episodes 1 and 2 of "Jazz for Two"

I haven't started on it yet (I'll probably wait until the next pair of episodes is released next Tuesday), but looking at the cast list, I immediately recognise one more actor: Byun Sung Tae (Tae Yi's brother), who is one of the leads in "Happy Merry Ending" (not one of my favourite KBLs, but watchable).

 Elisheva:
Thailand's lower house passed the marriage equality bill!

Yes, that's great news, whoo-hoo! I can't help but think that the mainstream popularity of Asian BLs is changing public opinion, certainly in Thailand and even in democratic but socially conservative South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. (I'm not sure public opinion matters quite so much in the more authoritarian countries.)
