I've seen a couple of Thai BL (which is why Saintsup and Why RU are my favs), but I really love Thai Lakorns and have plans to grow my list.

I wish the Lakorn actors got more acclaim and international recognition and I wish BL wasn't the defining factor of who watches Thai entertainment and what they'll watch. I actually saw a comment from someone on "Let's Fight, Ghost" that they wished it was a Thai BL, and they said this without having even tried the drama and seeing how brilliant it was and how amazing Saintsup performed. Whether or not it was BL shouldn't have been a factor, but because it's not Thai BL, they weren't even interested. It was such a shame.

I do like Aom and plan to watch more of her dramas. I loved her in "Switch On," but I just really enjoyed that drama overall and it's very underappreciated. I'm not a fan of the Mischievous Kiss franchise, but I think I'll try the Thai version with her. I caught a couple of scenes on Youtube and maybe, just maybe, I'll like it. I'm hopeful anyway.

Actresses not on the list, Mind Waratthaya Wongchayaporn. She usually plays support roles and she impressed me in "Let's Fight Ghost" with Saintsup (they made some fantastic changes to her character compared to the original Kdrama) and "Oh My Ghost" and while I didn't like that drama much, I liked her character a lot.

So help me, if Itagaki Mizuki is playing the second male lead again . . .

I'm not a fan of Saifah anyway so the actor is never going to be a motivating factor for me to watch a drama. I think I'll skip this one. Thanks for the review.

I did forget to mention the Cdrama "The Brightest Star in the Sky." I've watched it all the way through once and then skimmed through to my favorite parts multiple times.

Honey's a very cute movie. I enjoyed it a lot although it is quite a bit different from the manga.

I personally love rewatching favorite dramas.

Right now, Fighter x Tutor's story from Why RU? has my highest rate of rewatch since I'm rewatching parts of their story almost every day. I don't watch BL usually, but make an exception for this one couple.

And I am in the middle of rewatching the Thai lakorn Let's Fight Ghost, which is brilliant. I finished it and immediately started it again.

Otherwise, these are the Jdramas/movies I've rewatched multiple times:

One Pound Gospel
Bokura wa Kiseki de Dekite Iru
Buzzer Beat
Death Note (2015 drama series)
From Me to You
He Won't Kill, She Won't Die,
Honey
Kono Koi Atatamemasu ka
My Little Monster
Naze Shoujo wa Kioku wo Ushinawanakereba Naranakatta no ka?
One Week Friends
Second Love
Tatta Hitotsu no Koi
Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge
Your Eyes Tell

Hope you enjoy it. I personally loved it, such a fun and crazy show.

If the manga didn't start out that way (I haven't read it but it's labeled as josei not yaoi), then that is probably a no.

So true.

Season 2 is already better.

She just had a different pacing for how she does relationships. I liked the FL a lot, actually, from what I can remember because it's been a while. I've seen a lot of other dramas since this one and while it was very cute, I'm pretty sure it's not one I'll ever revisit.

Multifandom. I love Jdramas, but am growing to love Thai dramas and have also dipped my toe into the waters of Kdramas. Jdramas will always be my favorite though. I avoid spoilers like the plague and tend to dislike social media, love older dramas more than newer ones most of the time, and I've been watching Jdramas since 2012, so yeah, multifandom is the only one that fits. With maybe a smidge of "true blood fans" since it almost feels like I've been watching Kamenashi Kazuya and Yamashita Tomohisa since the beginning. At least, since the very beginning of my entry into Jdramas.

Yes, this season already promises to be better than the first. Love the first episode.

Everything you've said is probably accurate. But this particular show is about aromantics and for them at least it seems that having loving, non romantic relationships is common. So in the context of this drama the lead characters do understand and feel love, just not of the romantic variety. The most important person in my life is an aromantic and no one loves more deeply than her. Romantically no, but in every other respect, yes. That's why I chose to watch this drama, to give me a better understanding of aromantics in particular because of my personal relationship.

Yeah, there's better ones out there. This one missed the mark for me too, by about a mile.

Love often has nothing to do with romantic feelings. I love my cat, my parents, a few select friends, Japanese dramas, ramen, homemade enchiladas, and listening to the wind blow through the trees, etc. I'm even starting to love green tea. I think love also equates to taking enjoyment in certain things, like Takahashi makes homemade udon. He clearly loves doing it, just like he loves vegetables, and just like Sakuko loves that Jpop girl band. We don't want to give the impression that aroaces feel nothing related to affection or enjoyment.

I'm just gonna say, if you can make it to episode 5, then it seems like it might start improving. Until then, yeah, I've got some serious issues. That female ghost, wow, she's got some issues. I mean, why? What is up with the idea that a virgin ghost has to have sex before she can, what, reincarnate? That's absurd! At least in "Let's Fight, Ghost" all Jeen had to do was get her memory back, possessing an UNWILLING human for sex wasn't a part of the equation!

I don't watch anime, so I'm happy there's a live action. :)

I think it might be more true to say that "romance" isn't everything. Because clearly aroaces feel love, it's just that they're not wired for romance. The aroace in my life loves very deeply, but not romantically. 😊

He's an excellent actor regardless, but I do agree that he's giving a superior performance here.

Dull and colorless. They have no chemistry, imo.
