Sure. PG-13/R. Remake of 2moons (not a sequel; diff cast too).  It's good. ForthBeam best couple - I mostly watched for their arc.

fun; watch me (you know I like antagonism...Pride&Prej?) rewatchability. Mil's unfounded entitledness to Tine and that whole jealousy/misunderstanding bit cost 2gether some drama rating points. PG-13

NO. It actually just kept getting worse as it went. hit skip button a lot. Rating went from 6>5>4>3> the more eps I watched (more like hit skip button through constantly). Wasn't bc of actors or casting though. PG

Not enough Bas & Marco (the best characters, esp Marco), too much drama & dumb BS, & way too much Ait & James.[July 23] it was supposed to be focused on Bas's story. PG-13

Meh. Skip it. Other than episodes 5 & 6, the others were just like, "what?" and also waste of time, boring, doesn't really become a romance. [I'll list the actor pair for each episode so we can pick & choose]. Each ep is for a diff CP. Watch on DM. G/PG

Ep. 1: OhmFluke - falling out of love musicians [comments say one is a bad singer]. - PG

Ep. 2: JaFirst - One guy is a cat...the whole time. - G

Ep. 3: Nat+Max- Taekwondo - G

Ep. 4: Talay+Yoon - Road trip buddies. - G

Ep. 5: Mii2 - Penpals/long distance - G

Ep. 6: KimCop - Virtual Reality/AI - PG

YESS. PeteKao is one of the superior BL CPs, imo. Has 2 couples and both well thought out, developed. It's a very well-made, realistic, & normalized. Top shelf BL. This is now my fav intro (i'm sorry i ever skipped it-the drama! the violins! gasp!) Pete's dad is best character of all BL's ever and every drama parent ever. PG-13. DBK is one of the best made BLs to exist.

*be sure to watch all petekao series IN ORDER (so many get it wrong) It goes: >PeteKao Kiss Me Again >Our Sky >DBK (our sky is just a bonus story)

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUiBwT9KNehbmOlKI-ccnox7njjChoKZv

Yes. Jealousy is a big part of this one but it's not a toxic or annoying kind. 1) Pete is a jealous person by nature. They talk about it. Understand the following to truly appreciate the drama & get the message : 2) Their relationship began because of feelings of jealousy & possessiveness. That's how Pete knew he liked Kao. 3) They've been dating for 4 years but only 2 people know (Pete's dad & Sandy. Kao's mom suspects but they think she doesn't know). Pete's jealously is partly bc he feels insecure in the relationship. No one knows they are in one, so people hit on Kao, AND if they ever break up, nobody would know. It'd be like their relationship never happened. So, for these reasons, I am fully okay with Pete's jealousy in DBK. It makes sense: 1) he's a jealous person by nature, and 2) he's insecure about their relationship bc it's kept secret. So don't let the "jealousy" deter you. DBK has remarkably thoughtful & normalized BL relationships.

Yes. I liked the couple & their reciprocal flirting. #3 of 3 of En of Love series. Poster is deceiving as to CP age & appearance.  Flirt level: expert, on both sides. PG

Upcoming live adaptation of TGCF/Heaven Official's Blessing. So excitteeeeedddd

L & I watched the donghua on Netflix  (4/25/21). We enjoyed it.

Overall disappointing. Main character, Pi,  is eh. I prefer Duean, Meen, Mueang Nan, & Mork. Reallly attempts to be slapstick but isn't; it's one of those.PG/PG-13

Update: I've just watched ep 5 and I want to complain about how much I still don't ship the main CP. AT ALL. Five episodes in and I'm still not feeling it. Also not enough screen time for DueanMeen CP. I feel bad for the Mork actor cuz he does a good  job & like his character but the Pi character is just so EH - He lacks depth. I was bored all of ep.5. Ep. 6 was better. Ep. 7 & show still mleh. Saw some of 8 but I'm really dragging my feet/trudging through, so may drop. 

Dropped. Picked it back up & skipped around 9-11 now that they're finally in a relationship, (& I was curious). 12 dissapointing until 12 4/4.

Added/lengthened scenes?

upcoming sequel [May 22]

YAS. Addicted to Mark+Kit banter. AND antagonism. Main CP is A+. Friend group is a good friend group. PG-13

Update: Last 2 episodes, Ep. 11-12, had like 6mins total MK, and their scenes were better than every insignificant couples' scenes combined. So, it no longer gets a 10. MK get a 10but the drama does not bc of what they pulled. Also, I don't care about constant sad-face Thanu. And what was that ending? Anyway, it was great for MCP and friend group until ep 11 and 12, so still watch it. You can try to find it on DM but may not be easy.

[June 23] Alright. Bodyguard+"golden blood" client's son. PG

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYYyUhZKiEj6ptId-5MUdSzbnbSfiyYgC

Alright. Has draggy parts & gaps that don't matter; music during scenes is poor. G because Chinese BLs tend to censor out any PDA from script, btw. Unhappy ending but still looks pretty good. Fantasy.

Thinking about watching this one all together on the TV via YouTube since it's highly censored. I like it's theme song

Watching for the ChengRen (Mu Ren + Li Cheng) CP & XS.

NOO to the younger step-bro Yong Jie. NO. Xing Si is a sweet person, ugh, why'd they do this storyline for a couple?!(YJ going down for: hard-core stalking, breaking & entering, creeping while person is asleep, violent jealousy, & methodically planned sexual assault - Is he a psychopath??).  Ep. 9/10 made me begin to like him, but then they showed the preview for ep.11/12, & I'm disgusted by him once again. 13-end not problematic

upcoming; 50 eps; likely to be highly censored

YOOOO ... Look at who plays the 2 leads! LJH (Lee Je Hoon) from "Move to Heaven" & the ML from "My Shy Boss" (these 2 have been in several more things I've seen too) - mind blown. Major props to them doing this so early on...& so well acted. Movie. PG-13/R

https://youtu.be/n4we-Ivd8MM only 29 mins of the actual drama; rest of the 54 min runtime is bts & extended/extra scene (Same one is also here: https://www1.dramacool.ch/just-friends-2009-episode-1.html ) There's a scene after the credits dance number, then, it's really over.

R. R. Main CP is AePete. I prefer this TinCan storyline (side couple) to TinCan storyline in season 2. Techno storyline is messed up. TechnoKla should NEVER have happened. Pond character is just gross in the beginning (on Viki)

Airing. I'm gonna watch for the older couple (straight side couple) & for Ou Wen+Mark, another side couple (main CP=straight; side CP=BL). Main (het) CP has the drama & FL has constant sad face, so I'll prob end up skipping over them.  PG-13. 

MCP has been alright so far. BLCP characters don't get much screen time & their scenes are spread out, unfortunately. Not a bad drama though.

NO. (unless PureFolk). main couple was painful (I DON'T ship it. hence 4.5) Egh to glasses character. Who is he? Caillou? Flat Stanley? Sad Sam Fireworks? So I dropped it. Came back when I saw possibility of PureFolk CP (which does indeed sail & is YAS). start at ep. 9 or 10 for them. PG-13

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYYyUhZKiEj49TOwC8ce40NuDWZw911tP

Decent. Has sweet moments [May 7] Enjoyed, as it is exceeded my expectations; did plateau a bit towards end, though. Character in last ep surprised me in a good way. Enemies to lovers; although, Bbomb has secretly liked Jin for a while, so never saw him as an enemy, unlike Jin.

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYYyUhZKiEj5Bf1VYrdcsAjmuKVQk3b-G

Meh. Good casting for the F(M)L & ML but 2nd ML character was completely unnecessary for the story; nothing would change if he was removed.

Watched ep 1 & 2 (we already got some conflicted attraction from the groom) but gonna hold off on the rest because I want to be rid of the douchebag friend faster, and I know he'll soon be coming to congratulate his friend, and that's when he falls for & decides to pursue his friend's "wife." Douche...NOZZLE* 

Watched #3 & 4. Douchey shows up & begins making moved later half of ep 4. At least "wife" crumpled his love letter.

Ep.5&6. Wife told husband; douchey defeated. Sister is back! Will "fake" CP stay together?

Ep.7-8 (final): meh. The extra .5 on the rating is because they tried a new type of BL story: Joseon. PG

FYI: for this series, DM has had higher quality than YT

Yes. Enjoyed it. "MAMA!!" part was funny. Ep 2 & 6 get R briefly, but it's PG rest of drama. Poster makes it look lame, but it's not. The ending sets up a second season, but there isn't one. Just a heads up.

Dropped it. Very boring. Chinese censorship, so it's more of a bromance, but, supposedly, you can faintly see how it's not (like in novel). We didn't make it past #1, it was so blah (also couln't see anything other than coworkers)

G (Though based on BL novel, it is still a Chinese drama, so you'll have to appreciate subtle things. Read YT comments for symbolisms (also differences in translations) or references to novel or sneaky things that pass censorship). The Special Edition extends, adds, removes, & alters scenes from the OG in order to enhance main ship storyline.. You may need to watch OG for full comprehension, & if you want more for other characters arcs bc Special does cuts out some good things.  The Special Edition arranges things chronologically (no time-jumps/20 ep flashbacks like the OG)

I think it was more on PG-13 side. The break-up scene was actually my favorite scene - so well done. Last few minutes of last episode (with the parents, another "couple") are just so bad, so bail before it happens and ruins your day.
