Hikari no Naka

The number of tickets sold from Thai ticket site broke 10,000 mark. If by this time TV Tokyo doesn't even slightly consider possibility of a sequel, or even an SP or movie, I think they are out of their mind lol.

Boron and I were watching it! It was so fun and I was smiling like an idiot the whole times lol. Thank god what we were afraid of didn't happen, there were only talking and did simple games, no excessive fan service. So basically there were:
- Fan questions section
- Off-shot photo stories
- Magic Moment Ranking - top 3 favourite scenes chosen by Akaso and Machida
- Can you read my mind? games
They were given 2 options and they have to choose which one they think the other likes/prefers. Machida got a Thai boxing short pants as present (^^) while Akaso lost therefore the electrical pen punishment. Machida then tried it and apparently it hurt, and Akaso laughed so hard he was shedding tears XD
- Akaso birthday surprise. He apparently didn't expect it and looked very touched. The flowers look like orchids, but not really sure.

They both looked comfortable and having fun. The hashtag #MagicHourEijiKeita even made it to top Japan trend. I was thankful to the organizer who organized this event, it was worth every baht that I spent :)

Yes, he is ^^ there must be some reason, but not yet disclosed even in manga..

Thanks for sharing it :)

Hello Aprillen! Good to see you here also ^^
Yup, LOF is also Priest's work, there will also be Sha Po Lang and Mo Du which will be adapted into live action drama. Looking forward to them!

As far as I know, there was Guardian and Legend of Fei. Her other works which are adapted into drama is this one (Word of Honor), Sha Po Lang (Winner is King) and Mo Du (Silent Reading).

Yup, try checking it out and let me know what you think ^^
The "gay vibes" is so strong fans are wondering if the censorship officials were on drug when they approved it LOL. In addition to that, the production quality is good, the costumes are pretty and the martial arts also look good (remind me a bit of TVB's wuxia style).

Ugh, don't even start with Guardian's CGI, it's the most embarrassing thing ever. Not to mention the acting of some supporting roles, it's so bad it gave me second hand embarrassment >_<
Glad you like it! I was also dumbfounded when watching it, is this show really came out of China?? LOL. I'm not complaining though, it's refreshing to see it. The production quality is also very good, another bonus point. Hope it will be consistent until the end of the show.

I also love Guardian! In fact it was the show that got me into Chinese BL, but I mainly watched it for Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan, since the drama plot was such as mess :( They used to be my number one BL couple, before Kurodachi suddenly took over lol.
There will be another Priest work's drama adaptation this year, Sha Po Lang. I'm also looking forward to that too. Yes, Gong Jun was the ML in Advance Bravely, it should be his second role in BL-adaptation drama :D

Thank you for the info :)

They gonna have hard time sorting out those massive questions list XD

I agree, the clear winner is definitely the audience :D we will be spoiled rotten with so many BL-adaptations drama this year, looking forward to it!

Can I ask where you watch it? On Youku's YT channel it's only until Ep 4, or is it only available to member?

Apologize again for another off-topic in this comment section. If you're looking for another BL drama this time, try Chinese drama Word of Honor. It's not exactly a BL, but it is an adaptation from BL novel by Priest "Tian Ya Ke". It's the first Chinese BL-adaptation drama to hit the shelves this year and has caught many viewers by surprise. They didn't expect that this very "gay-ish" show can even pass the China's censorship, some fans even joked that half of the show's budget went to bribe the censorship officials LOL. Zhang Zhe Han and Gong Jun are gorgeous and Gong Jun's character is so flirty, I can't XD
It's available on Youku's YT channel, so far only 4 eps released, English subs will be added on Feb 26.

I mean it as a joke, since there are so many BL dramas produced in China this year, it is really unprecedented. And they are all competing for some limited BL fans market, unlike the general non-BL audience. Sorry if that came off differently to you.

First Chinese BL-adaptation drama to kick off this year's BL dramas war! And it looks good, judging from some reviews on YT. Waiting for the subs from Youku though..

Akaso will do a live on his Weibo on his birthday March 1st! It's been so long since he did a live, I miss him. Fans can ask question on the comment section, it might get answered during the live. But currently there are already more than 7K comments, it's hopeless...>_<

Rating in MDL has no impact whatsoever for increasing chance for 2nd season. It's mostly used by international fans, while the main target audience is Chinese viewers. As with everywhere, money and numbers talk the loudest. So, for intl fans, watch it on the official platform, pay VIP fee if necessary, buy merchandise if any, etc are the only way to support the show.

Welcome back! Good to see old fellow CM fans again :)
I agree, in fact many fans also feel the same way. I guess it's because during their first photoshoot they barely knew each other (it was their first time meeting), while in Anan shoot they have known each other and became good friends, thus the close and comfortable feelings between them. It is indeed a happy feeling ^^

Fans finally have a chance to spend their money on them XD I'm also waiting for any BL drama from Japan this year. I was excited when I see news of Inukai in Zettai BL, but after reading the manga I'm not sure what to expect, it's more like a parody of BL world?
