Me and you both. After all, one must always keep an open mind 🤣👊🏿👍🏿

Hey you. Do you know what. I've decided to give Choco Milk Shake a go. It's got such amazing reviews and I love Strongberry. So, thank you again for your recommendation.

When did I say I don’t get it? When did I say I was confused about the plot? I didn’t. I said it didn’t make sense to my brain. Totally different statement to not understanding. However human, I must thank you for taking the time to relay the plot to me, something I was already aware of. Be well 🙏🏿

Now be nice oh passive aggressive human. Just because you don’t agree with me, doesn’t mean you need to be rude. #JustSayin’ . Life is after all fruitful from different perspectives don’t you think?

Really liked the chemistry between our male leads and their interactions. I found Ayan's character mesmerising and such a good actor - heart laid bare comes to mind. So looking forward to what he does in the future. To Akk, 'll be honest, I grew bored of the constant tears week-after-week. Just nothing happened or evolved to stop those tears until the final episode. However, he did look utterly beautiful crying and whilst his shoulder shivered with goose bumps in the pool. I'm not even going to go there with his wet hair at said time. These scenes I definitely won't forget. #JustSayin'.

If I'm honest, I wasn't invested in the plot or storyline and for the most part, I just zoned out. It didn't engage me or make sense to my brain. I found it messy and badly delivered. Would I rewatch. No. Will I forget it in a week, most likely. Would I recommend. I have to admit, no.

I'm all for comfort and peace. Thank you.

Me and you both my beautiful friend. Me and you both. 🙏🏿👍🏿👊🏿👌🏾❤️💕

Hello lovely friend. Finally we find a JP BL we absolutely agree on. I'm adoring this.

So hear you and thank you so much for taking the time to educate me. Appreciate it.

Yes, you're so right. #Snigger've seen it there too and so many before.

Why do I find myself wishing The Furry Friends Network was indeed kinky 🤣. What a story you could tell. #Snigger

Yeah, like anyone would want to adopt a feral cat. #NoIntelligence beyond stupid. What a fucked up thought process. Love the employees though, coming together to protect the cats. Gotta always love humans love for animals. We don’t have raccoons, but allegedly Londoners are never 6ft away from a rat. I have only ever seen them on London train tracks.

Coyote pee hey! Who would Adam and Eve it, as us Brits say. #Funny

This actually made me laugh out loud. 🤣🤣So bloody hear you, they really are slippery bastards and so cunning and manipulative. My brother also works in facilities management and constantly shares his woes with me. I also have a client in the same sector so feel your pain. #Funny

I'll say it again a million times. No country in this UNIVERSE, thinks, writes or even comes close to the Japanese mindset and thought process when it comes to creating a drama, irrespective of being gay or straight.

They continue to absolutely blow my mind when it comes to delivering quirky, innovative, off-the-scale, fuck your head up thinking when it comes to storytelling and directing. They are truly and utterly unique and in a whole different game park from other cultures. I especially adore the fact that their mindset absolutely can't be copied or indeed replicated. They're in a world of their own, which comes down to the fact they're so respectful and unashamedly proud of their culture and different thinking. They absolutely own their culture and they stay true to their core values.

I'll admit, I've been so bloody disappointed by Japanese BL dramas this year. I've been very honest about this fact on this here forum. I've realised, my brain just can't do what I term Japanese 'slapstick', 'adult males behaving childish in a relationship' and the whole 'I'm so terrified of my crush/boyfriend over acting'. It's just not me. However, I massively respect I'm not the target audience for this type of Japanese BL and also that many follow to the letter the original manga, so I do get it. But I don't have to like it.

However, I'm so here for this one. Now you're talking. This is what I like. This is excellent and just at 2 episodes. This is what to me is Japanese writing at its utter best - off the scale unique, innovative, adult and so damn quirky. Can't wait for the next episode.

They're in Kentucky and a large organisation. However, their culture is based on 'making work fun', but I so hear you on the larger and more traditional organisations about allergies and Facilities Management, some of which, like here in the UK, would never entertain this happening.

You and me both oh wise one, me and you both! Thai BL production houses have simply become fixated on all the wrong things in the name of MONEY! Yes, agree, my social media channels, because I follow all the main bloggers and artists I like, are absolutely swamped with either the artists, their latest productions, fan meet-and-greets and product placements. Promotions do indeed drive the fanbase, as with all industries, advertising, marketing and PR are essential requirements to drive either a product or a brand - it's a simple fact.

However, I do feel Thai production houses literally sell-out the souls of their artists to their future detriment, massively over promoting the whole fantasy of ML's 'really' being together, instead of the fact that they're simply actors delivering a character role well, which in turn fuels this whole toxic Netizen culture you just don't see outside of Asia.

I have huge respect for Taiwanese culture and yes, know their standing and position on gay culture. I just find them extremely brave, respectful and knowing. Yes, I agree, I think Japan will be next and have read about their bill.

As we say in my culture - "softly, softly catchee monkey". I do believe change continues to happen and people will be at the forefront of ensuring this happens.

OMG! This episode was indeed packed with every single troupe in the world of BL. #ShakesHead. We had the SAC (slip & catch), a slight scratch tended to by said love interest with the resulting long stares, a fever after being caught in the rain, followed by the obligatory towel rub down and the pulling by the wrist, as opposed to gently leading someone by their arm! Hilarious!

However, joking aside, I do like the chemistry between the two leads. Jin Xun An is such a stoic, serious, responsible and dry humoured character. You could tell when Bai Lang was telling him jokes that this was a man who doesn't laugh often - it actually felt weird seeming him laugh to me, as you can tell living life and having fun has not been a priority for him up until this point, just his career. I think Bai Lang with his playful, thoughtful and nurturing personality, will really complement Jin Xun An's and bring out another side to him in future episodes. Jin Xun An will get to the bottom off and support Bai Lang through his obvious childhood anxieties and what would also appear to be an issue around him not being worthy of a relationship or love. I also like the way they already naturally care for one another in a selfless way.

However peeps, have to say, what the fuck is this whole sleeping with teddy bear thing in Asian culture amongst adult males in their 20-30's? I see it so much. This feels seriously strange to me. In my culture, this would never happen, it's something only children do.

Love this Maggi - so insightful. Love learning something new every day.

Greetings lovely Maggi. We do indeed #Snigger😍Wow, those are some serious figures for SK BL's. I think they do BL's really well, especially from a production and script perspective. However, Taiwan still remains my favourite - for really pushing it out there. I get a sense that they're proud to represent the gay community.

Honestly, I don't know what's going on with Thai BL's, so many are beyond shocking. They're not even trying to hide the fact they don't give a shit and are exclusively about cashing in on a lucrative genre to generate revenue, so your figures don't surprise me, as they really are just rolling them out like a factory production line.

Have to say Unforgotten Night, an appalling Thai drama, had the worst product placements known to man. They didn't in the least relate to the drama to the point where it was truly laughable!

My 'now' cat disliked it when his owner brought another one home, so he'd cross a busy main road during rush hour, climb through our office windows and sit in our in-trays, or simply wander around from department-to-department. He even had the nerve to walk up three flights of steps to the Board Directors suites and lie on the Board room table during major meetings. We all adored him. Eventually, health & safety kicked in and I said I'd take him home to be my pet.

I have a client from the US, a corporate, who bring their dogs to work every day - over 30. On their social, they've all had their photos taken, alongside a job title. #SoFunny and great for new staff recruitment.

Oh but you are! #Snigger I can see your absolute passion for the genre, as I seem to unknowingly stumble across so many of your comments, and they always seem to be written with thought, insight or playful fun when needed.
