Totally agree with you! Now that you mention it, Yoki really does resemble Yu Menglong in certain angles 😳
I honestly had to do a double take myself. I also find it a bit hard to get through Thai BLs sometimes; it really depends on my mood. If I’m just in the mood for something light and easy to pass the time, I’ll watch them, but I don’t always finish the more serious ones. The last Thai BL I watched that I really enjoyed was My Stand-In. That’s actually why I tend to prefer Japanese and Taiwanese BLs, and over the past year, of course, Chinese BLs too, I feel like they’ve really taken things to another level, at least when it comes to storylines.

You’re welcome, dear. I’d really love to hear your opinion if you read them, or even your opinion about the second couple’s story from Desire. Their story is mostly on the extra chapters ☺️

To be honest, I don’t really know if that’s true, and I’m not very interested in this kind of gossip. People often try to tear actors down by saying whatever comes to mind. Whether it’s true or not, I don’t like what’s happening, dragging actors down like this. At the end of the day, they are human beings too.

I think that at the airport he kidnaps him for a second time. I realized it from the scar. Cause, if I’m not mistaken, he got it during the first kidnapping, and at the airport he already had the scar on his forehead. I might be wrong though, it’s honestly quite confusing, and I believe it will become clearer as the story goes on.

I hear you sis, their special can’t come soon enough 😩
I’ve literally become a stalker, checking socials every single day for updates 🤣
But I’m craving more than just a special. I really hope we’ll see them in something new soon.
As for Yesterday, thanks for the recommendation. I’m actually enjoying it a lot so far. It’s a little messy with all the time loops, but the production is good and the story and characters are very much to my liking. I just hope it doesn’t drag.
I’m a little cautious with Thai productions lately. In my opinion, most of them focus too much on NC scenes and are weak when it comes to storyline.

Me too girl 😭😭😭

Yeah, day by day, week by week... Imagine the struggle 🤣

Fingers crossed this one turns out to be a little gem too ☺️

I just watched the second episode 🤯
I started this series without checking tags, trailers, or even reading the synopsis. Someone just told me it’s in the style of To My Shore, and that alone was enough to convince me.
If I ignore the fact that the time loops are a bit all over the place and end up confusing the viewer more than intriguing them, I can honestly say I really enjoyed the first two episodes and I’m so excited to see how it will develop! The chemistry between the boys helps a lot too 🤤
What can I say, give me red flags and take my soul, I’m so here for this one!

Of course you can read it online for free, so I’m leaving the link here: https://chrysanthemumgarden.com/novel-tl/desire/�
And here is the link for the novel Four Faced Buddha: https://chrysanthemumgarden.com/novel-tl/ffb/�
I know you didn’t ask, but To My Shore was adapted from that novel, and if you decide to give it a chance, you might be able to understand the characters better and feel more for their unhealthy romance. Sorry, I couldn't resist 😁
The writing is also so good in both novels!

I wish I could forget all about it and binge watch it for the first time in one day 😭

Honestly, I also liked the second couple a bit more in ABO, and I think that’s exactly why I was more disappointed that they didn’t really get a proper ending. Of course it doesn’t help that I’ve read the novel too, so I know what we didn’t get to see… that definitely makes it hurt more.
As for Addicted, it’s absolutely one of my all-time favourites for me as well. And yeah, it’s the reason I was so hyped for Love After Addiction from the moment I found out it was happening. It hasn’t blown me away as a series so far, but I love their chemistry. There’s no way I wouldn’t watch it till the end and support it. Just the fact that these two actors kept their promise to the fans after ten years honestly makes me ridiculously emotional.
I’m really glad we could have such a nice exchange of different opinions without any drama too, that kind of discussion is way too rare on MDL 🤣

My boy Fan, I'm literally in love with Yun Qi, his a cute little puppy, so talented and funny! To be fair, I’m in love with both of them. YunYi is my new obsession, and I’m really hoping we’ll get to see them again soon in another BL.
And yes, the scene you mentioned in episode 13… same. It’s probably my favorite too. It gave me literal chills. I had to pause the episode for almost an hour just to calm down 😭
Anyway, I watched the first episode in Yesterday and it looks really promising.
That ending though? 🤯
Did not see it coming at all, but I’m absolutely seated 🤣

It’s literally my first all-time favorite BL drama now. I’m usually not the type to get obsessed with dramas, but this one completely got me. At 35, I found my first-ever CP 🤣
Even my husband makes fun of me, I'm too far gone 🤣

Tell them, sis 🤣

Well, we had Jimmy and the ultimate hubby Johnny there to make us drool 🤣

Haha, girl, I’m totally drooling over Yo Ki 🤤
And to think I didn’t even find him attractive in Addicted 🤣
He’s aged like a fine wine

Yeah, totally fair 😊 Of course everyone has their own tastes, and they’re all valid. What works for one person can be really uncomfortable for someone else, and that’s okay.
Personally, I really liked ABO Desire, except for the ending, which felt extremely rushed and kind of disappointing compared to the rest. The other one you mentioned which filmed partly in Thailand is my current obsession 🤣
In general though, I tend to gravitate more toward dark romance stories, toxic characters, unhealthy dynamics, but with a good redemption arc that actually makes sense emotionally. I think that’s probably why C-BLs usually work better for me.
Compared to that, this series feels very light and fluffy so far, almost too light for my taste 😅 A bit messy, sure, but also much more “realistic” in how things could happen, which I can appreciate, it just doesn’t hit as hard for me emotionally.
Still, I totally respect people enjoying different kinds of stories. Variety is a good thing after all 💛

Haha, same!

I don’t know which Chinese BLs you’ve watched, there aren’t many anyway because of censorship. Over the past year, they’ve mostly been putting out slightly better BL productions by using certain loopholes they’ve found. Still, I disagree; I think their scripts are far superior to those of BLs from other Asian countries.
That said, this particular one I think it's really all over the place, at least so far 🤣
