Mew's new series has been released. He is starring in a Korean series. Who is going to watch?

I will! Since I'm working on getting out of my comfort zone, I'll give this vampire theme a whirl. I wonder what the secret bar is going to be. 

 OnyxTheHedgehog:

t’s a classic GMMTV romcom, especially the comedy scenes, but I really like how cute it is

Me too! I just watched EP 1 and fell in love with Kang, right along with Moo. Cute ending too. Is this series going to be posted to YT every Sunday, does anyone know? I have to keep track in my little notebook or I'll forget the days or even that I'm watching this series. haha

 OnyxTheHedgehog:

Wow u must’ve really enjoyed it 

I haven’t gotten past the first ep yet but I’ll lyk when I do :) and yes I’ll make sure to watch psst the end credits thx for telling me :)

The episodes are fairly short so it didn't take long. You only have to worry about watching after the credits on the final episode.

I just finished Jazz for Two which I somehow thought was another fluffy KBL. It turned out to be a lot deeper than that, and I enjoyed it.

* life-love on the line lol

Ah yes, "Until We Meet Again" is yet another category: The BLs that begin with a "red thread" connection. I just adore that first moment when Pharm sees Dean.

I love the scene where they meet each other in the grocery store, I re-watch it a few times every year. If there was an option to give series a 1000 star rating I would give it to UWMA

 RiqueXinw:

I loved both of these series gave them both a 10.

Me, too (= "Oxygen" and "Secret Crush on You"). Although both series admittedly have their weaknesses (third storyline in "Oxygen", very cringe first episode or two of "Secret Crush"), both have so much that's sweet and lovely.

And as to Pharm and Dean in the grocery store ("Until We Meet Again"), I'm seriously tearing up right now (in a good way) just thinking about it. I've seen this series so many times that I can replay it in my head.

 OnyxTheHedgehog:

Also, I loved Oxygen too, it was such a sweet wholesome story that made me melt at the MLs love honestly

I think I know what my next rewatch drama will be.

I'm on episode 2 and really liking it so far. I've seen mixed feelings on this so it's nice to see that you liked it.

Playboyy the series 4/10

I must look crazy right now because after finishing just now I burst out laughing because at this point what was I really supposed to do? Anyways:

My following rant/comments will be very honest and unfiltered, so depending on your sentiments regarding the series my rant may seem mean and offensive. I will use the spoiler feature appropriately. 

First of all let me say a huge shout out to Nont and Prom and the actors who portrayed them. Their story is the one saving grace that kept me going and motivated enough to finish this train-wreck of a series. They truly were the flower that grew out of the manure that is this series. I really hope they get their own series one day because they have good chemistry and hopefully it will be with a different company.

Now, I understand what the intention of the writers was when writing this story. They wanted to express different viewpoints and aspects of the gay community, individual sexuality, mental health, socio-economic disparities and sexual psyche through the lens of young adults in an environment of the negative elements of society such as drugs and addiction, prostitution, gangs etc. However they tried and failed in putting too much in one basket. The writers, directors and producers became slaves to mediocrity. I would trust that when undertaking such bold projects that neophytes would not be employed in intrinsic roles to the production process. In my opinion, as a fan, the series could have worked and been more coherent if they followed series such as Y  Destiny and dedicated a specific number of episodes to each couple and their story-line and have a special episode where all the couples exists in the same space and we get to see the epilogue of each; that way each story gets just enough attention and is able to be portrayed uniquely and be impact full to the audience instead of being this mass of biological waste, figuratively speaking.

Some of the writing of these characters made no damn sense to me. Why the hell was Captain's character written like that. This man was cock slut every weh him go and see a man cocky him ready fi open him mouth like a baby on breast. This left his character shallow and sleezy without growth. Not to mention the whorehouse. These boys took up these common street prostitutes and expected them to magically become ideal boyfriends. Matter of fact those so called good boys were no better than their boyfriends if not more whorish. Lets talk about Zouey that piece of shit. After having us going all around on this nonsensical ride only for it to be him who was the major one who contributed to Nants murder. That snake and for what? Den to top it all bomboclaat off it was fucking Phop who killed Nant and for what reason. Then they have di rassclaat audacity fi seh "To Be Continued" continue what to bloodclaat!!!!! The amount of waste resources that this series was is shocking to be honest. I saw these characters in the underwear and less, more than I saw them string together any semblance of a plot. Not to even mention the cringe felt across the entire fandom each time a random as hell English sentence was uttered as if the series wasn't already fucked, but why the hell not, the bar was already in hell's basement, if not lower. 

It is a shame that these actors had to sacrifice their time and talent to participate in this vapid piece of work that even a  high school production team with a low budget could run circles around. A lot of BL fans myself included, love spice in anything we watch but don't insult our intelligence by throwing out any trash saturated  in sex thinking that will distract from the rubbish being presented on screen. At very least give smut with purpose. 

I will end the rant here. I have more to say but I think I have said enough. On the bright side my personal record of only ever dropping one series remains in tact, however after this watching experience from hell I am rethinking that personal rule of mine of not dropping a series. 

If you enjoyed Playboyy the series then at least one of us did.
