Monster Next Door EP9

This episode had my full attention from start to finish. 

Yup, especially in the latter part of the episode. Love is blossoming all around.

Ep 9 of I Saw You In My Dream was so good. Every episode has just been getting better and better.

 OnyxTheHedgehog:

Could someone rec a quick-burn, cute nice drama that I can watch in my spare time?

Looking at your PTW list ... hmmm ... "cute" and "nice" is clear, but what does Onyx mean by "quick burn"? If that means "moves along quickly with total runtime of 2-3 hours", I guess that rules out most Thai BLs,  but I'll throw some in anyways.

So here are some ideas:

Two of my favourite Taiwan BLs are "About Youth" and "Stay By My Side". Both are adorably cute and move along quickly. ("About Youth" is sweet innocent young first love, so don't expect steamy shower scenes.)

Two JBLs on your PTW list that are among my personal faves are "Takara-kun to Amagi-kun" and "Kieta Hatsukoi". (Both are also sweet innocent young first love, so don't expect more than a gentle, non-slurpy kiss. Both are also quite funny at times.)

Among the Korean titles on your PTW list, "Blue Boys" is very short and an easy watch, despite some flaws.

And finally, some Thai BLs on your list that are "cute" and "nice" (and needless to say longer, while still moving along quickly by Thai standards) are "Babe and a Boss" (Force/Book), "Century of Love" and "Love in Translation" (both Daou/Offroad), and "Cooking Crush" (Off/Gun but very much comedy, nothing at all like "Not Me").

You have a lot of other good stuff on your PTW list, too!

I haven’t watched anything since The Trainee on Sunday cuz I don’t have any time  and don’t really want to catch up with any of my currently airing dramas 

Could someone rec a quick-burn, cute nice drama that I can watch in my spare time? I NEED some BL lmao 

I don’t know if you’re OK with currently airing dramas but sugar dog life is super cute. Seven out of 10 episodes of aired so far. 

There's also Kieta Hatsukoi, if it's with you,  I became the lead in a bl drama, a man who defies the world of  bl s1 - s3, I cannot reach You, Mr. Unlucky has no Choice to kiss

 OnyxTheHedgehog:

I love them too!! So glad I read this XD 

If this story becomes famous, I’ll be ur biggest fan lol

They are the inspiration for my Libra season theme and then just decided that since they live in my psyche anyway, I'll just make them a reoccurring feature LOL This is their profile now haha

I think we usually like similar shows-- so let me give this a try. I'm counting these all as quick-burn because they're short. Is that cheating? lol

This is a master class in how to do concise reviews!

While I didn't viscerally love "Cupcake" and "Plus & Minus" quite as much as many or most people seem to, they're both broadly very popular. I totally love the other four. In short: Good recommendations.
