 Simi_Tutu:

I've had a hectic week and a half. I have been popping in and out of the chat. I'm keeping up with your posts but have yet to reply. I missed the positive energy! 

Awww *smooches* ty that's very sweet of you to say.

 Simi_Tutu:

Have any dramas caught your interest lately? I'm really looking forward to starting HIStory3: Trapped this week. Also, I felt a little let down by the final episode of Hidamari ga Kikoeru.

Oh so many...lol! Just finished watching 'Time of Fever' last night and I thought it was epically done. As it's definitely the prequel rather than the sequel to 'Unintentional Love Story', which although I'd already seen, I watched it again right after because of the depth and clarity TOF gave to our boys' roles in ULS, which made me love ULS even more than the first time. 

Also started the new shows 'Jack & Joker' and 'Kidnap', both of which are excellent so far, have NOT disappointed, and were completely worth the wait. The wait between eps is already killing me.

And 'The On1y One' is still freaking amazing and going strong, so if you've not yet watched or aren't caught up, I highly recommend. And yes I too was a somewhat disappointed, or perhaps let down is a better way to put it, in the finale for both HGK and 'Takara no Vidro'. Still loved both shows, but yeah.

Hello to  my favorite club!

Hi, hope you're doing well. It's been very active here, hard to keep up most days but so many good BLs to watch.

Also, I felt a little let down by the final episode of Hidamari ga Kikoeru.

According to @axdxex, it followed the manga very closely. I was hoping for a little more intimacy after Taichi's confession; even a cheek kiss initiated by Taichi would've satisfied me in a way that their hug just didn't.  

 American Fan:

You & me both! 

The lack of a kiss felt like a personal attack! Haha It's disappointing that Kohei and Taichi didn't receive enough interaction. They felt almost like an afterthought.

 American Fan:

at the end of a J-drama in particular

Oh no not another anti J-Drama fan , I'm  kidding of course! LOL. I've found this year's J-Dramas to be quite diverse so far.  "25 Ji, Akasaka de" had a fantastic ending! I gave it a rating of 9.5.

Yay! Welcome back~ I missed reading your posts!

Aww Thank you !! <33 How did your week go ??

 RXinw:

I have not been feeling well so I missed this week of classes.

Oh no, do you know what you are sick from. Don't answer that if you don't want to." Did the week off help you recuperate at least ??

 RXinw:

I now have a test Monday, law notes to read and catch up on, and all the other course work for other subjects to catch up

Ah the good old last minute cramming my good old friend !

 RXinw:

so sliver lining I guess

Beast mode activate !

Just finished watching 'Time of Fever' last night

I watched  'Unintentional Love Story' and didn't realize there was a prequel! Adding it to my "Plan to Watch" list now.

 MeNotYou:

Also started the new shows 'Jack & Joker' and 'Kidnap',

I haven't been keeping up with the latest shows for the past 2 weeks, and I didn't even realize that these two were already airing. They're actually two of the dramas I was looking forward to the most this year, so I will definitely be catching up on all the episodes this weekend!

 MeNotYou:

'The On1y One'

I've read so many great reviews about this show, but I've been really busy and haven't had the chance to catch up with the latest news. I might have to delay watching it and focus on the two dramas mentioned in the post above. I also have to carve out some time to binge watch History 3: Trapped.

 MeNotYou:

both HGK and 'Takara no Vidro'. Still loved both shows, but yeah

Hidamari ga Kikoeru has become one of my favorite J BL series.I will just have to read the manga to get the final kiss that I wanted  ? ?? ! As for Takara no Vidro, I felt a bit lost in the second half of the drama. It seemed like there was a sudden shift in the storyline, things escalated so quickly, and I couldn't figure out where the plot started to derail . Additionally, I was surprised to see more kissing scenes in this series compared to HGK. I'm just saying  no way Taishin gets more lip action then Taichi !!! 

Any who's my final rating for both shows Hidamari ga Kikoeru 9.5 Takara no Vidro 6 LOL

hope you're doing well.

I am finally getting back on track!

It's been very active here

This level of activity is great to see. Having a super active community is far better than having no traffic at all. I haven't been keeping up with the forums recently, but I believe our group has a higher number of active members compared to most. Our members are fantastic and we truly feel like one big, positive family.

I understand it can be challenging to keep track of posts on the club page due to its fast pace. When the forum is active, I often save the link to my last reply and send it to myself. This way, I can easily pick up where I left off. There have been instances when I returned to find a backlog of 20 pages to go through. It can be quite confusing.

Monster Next Door

I'm dropped this series because it wwas a bit too slow for my taste. However, I did find the dynamic of a couple comprising an extrovert and an introvert quite interesting. I must admit, I really like the actor who plays Big. Diew's character tho was quite draining to watch. I don't blame the actor, as he's just following the director's instructions. I think it's more the personality trait. As an introvert, it feels draining to watch them do the same things I do daily. haha.

The supporting characters in the story are quite bothersome. There's that girl who seems to seek attention by using others, the band with constant internal issues, and their supposed friends who don't support them. Even the introverted friend of Diew serves no real purpose other than to highlight that an introvert has another introverted friend. They barely interact outside of school work, so I fail to see their significance to the plot.

I regret not staying to see at least one kissing scene based on the trailer. It looked really intense, but I couldn't wait for it to happen!

I Saw You in My Dream

I'm really drawn in by the mystery in this show. I need to catch up on some episodes. I'm loving the main couple and their adorable relationship and interactions. It seems like a very healthy relationship filled with lots of support and positive love language!
