I feel like giving you a microphone or megaphone.šššš
Bestie I am right there with you, crammed into one of the lockers and sweating up a storm š„¹ Honestly they could film 50% of every episode in that locker room and nobody would be complaining
Screaming crying hooting AND hollering, what a first episode!!! Iām glad that the omegaverse element feels novel and fun to viewers who hadnāt heard of it before, but as a (partially unwilling) veteran I know in my heart this is gonna be the tropiest cringiest sexiest cliche-fest ever and Iām SO JAZZED FOR IT šššššš Pavel, my BOY my MAN my HERO, he deserves a knighthood an oscar and a nobel peace prize for his efforts so far š Truly obsessed!!!
Dinosaur Love was also really bad but in a different way. This one gave me a headache in less than 10 minutes,…
OOOOH thatās a good question!! First of all, Dinosaur Love sounds like the name of a questionable smutty parody novel, so weāre off to a brilliant start with that one šš
Had a nose around the page for Dinosaur Love (a 5.9 rating???? on a BL??????) and it does sound horrendous, BUT people are saying the kiss scenes were good, so at least thereās one potential redeeming factor? š«£ Iād guess wasted talent is worse, but I guess weāll find out for sure as more episodes airā¦
Sidenote: If you watched Dinosaur Love, do you know why one of the tags on it is mild gore?? Iām presuming that the lead DOESNāT turn into a t-rex and start tearing off limbs, but I donāt know if Iāll be able to sleep without knowing for sure šš
Ouch⦠Even on 1.5x speed the ācomedyā aspect is borderline unbearable. Hoping TutorYimās chemistry makes this worthwhile once the romance picks up, but I really donāt know if itās salvageable š«£
I see weāre also getting Flashbacks 2: Return Of The Flashbacks this episode, what a treat
Saint šššš Where IS he what is that poor boy up to⦠Love By Chance was such a blessing and a curse, Perth really deserves someone on his level, or at least able to pretend they are š«£

OOOOH BOY DONāT GET ME STARTED!! The whole scene was ridiculous!! Kang had just made his big emotional speech, told everyone that he loves Sailom, everyone stood up and applauded, it was COMICALLY positive. Then suddenly heād stood alone sulking in the pouring rain, on a day that had perfect weather in every other scene, just as an excuse to bust out those damn umbrellas. Like some kid lending an umbrella to another kid a decade ago means anything??? The hug just made it so much worse, it made it such a bro moment. Itās giving 2gether finale high-five flashbacks. š

HA yep I was waiting for it the whole episode, and they did it in the most overdramatic and unnecessary way too š« Will meet you near the coast ASAP š«”š„²
I want to be concerned about the trailer being⦠like that⦠But I know realistically my bar for this series is SO low. All they need to do is allow Pavel to be ridiculously stupidly hot, like he deserves, and I will be tuning in for every episode regardless of what the other 150 characters are doing inbetween all the explosions and fist fights. Heās been serving racer-slut for free for YEARS over on instagram so itās only right that he gets to kick it up a notch professionally now. God speed š
Update: Iām dumb and accidentally missed the ābonus sceneā right at the end. Can confirm that the awkwardness…
Omg donāt apologise, that was all SO helpful and interesting!! Will definitely give it a watch, you have me fully sold! Also thanks for the heads up on Semantic Error being longer than I thought, I might still try to get through it in the next week or so because I know people went crazy for it
If you enjoyed The Untamed I reeeeeally recommend Word of Honor, itās the same kind of censored-BL-wuxia vibes and maybe my favourite drama of all time. I loved The Untamed and think itās absolutely incredible, but Word of Honor is a bit more⦠Indulgent? A lot of the plot of The Untamed is people agonising over whether or not theyāre doing the right thing. Word of Honor is two hot middle-aged men who also happen to be the worst people to have ever lived, just wanting to retire and chill out, but fate wonāt let them. The bromance is much juicier too, the tension is super palpable and you really feel the soulmate vibes. Only thing is that itās VISIBLY lower-budget than The Untamed so the special effects sometimes feel much more cheap and gimicky. But if thatās not a deal breaker then I really canāt recommend it enough! ALSO if you end up watching it, donāt believe the final episode. Censors made them cut out the actual ending last minute, so thereās a secret bonus *final* final episode that you can only find online⦠š

Thank you! Just added I Feel You Linger In The Air and If Itās With You to my list, they sound amazing!! I tend to lose my patience a bit with BL plots that center around chasing a girl, so the description of Love In Translation is putting me off a little⦠Would you say itās definitely still worth watching?

Ooooh thank you for all the recommendations!! I have ADHD so if my head isnāt in the right place I can struggle a bit to get through a series if Iām not watching it as itās released, unless it really grips my attention I tend to get through the 1st few episodes and then my brain wanders off š„²So Iāve actually watched the 1st eps of My School President and Not Me, but they just didnāt stick for whatever reason. I will give them a 2nd chance at some point though!! Iāve been meaning to check out Semantic Error for AGES, and if I remember right itās one of those Korean BLs with suuuper short episodes? So it might actually be perfect for right now š As for The Devil Judge, I had NO IDEA it was a censored BL?! I absolutely love Jinyoung so now Iāll have to give that one a go! Is it censored like Chinese BL where you can still see the romance but the characters arenāt allowed to do anything about it? Or is it more of a stealthy blink-and-you-miss-it adaptation?

Oooh yeah so he was at a restaurant with a client who drugged him and dragged him off to some hotel room, and Kang is obviously some kind of wizard and knew exactly which room and busted in at the very last minute to kick the guy out. Then he yelled at Sailom who was suddenly fine and not drugged anymore?? And they cried and hugged and then it never gets brought up again by anybody and has no impact on the story at all.

Can confirm he does NOT sleep with any clients, he seems to think that escorts just sit next to their clients in busy restaurants and smile. One guy tries to hold his hand and he looks like he wants to puke. š

Ahhhhh, Middlemanās Love!! I totally forgot about that, but I remember being super excited when it was announced because Nuer/Syn was the best part of Cutie Pie for me, so thank you for the reminder!! Pavel from 2Moons 2 and Coffee Melody is the main character of Pit Babe, and the main reason Iām so excited for it, heās a perfect fit for the series š Nut from Oxygen and Something In My Room is gonna be in it too but idk how big of a role heās gonna have
