BL Drama Lovers Club

 American Fan:

Hmmm....I have ad blocker so I doubt its that. All pics and gifs have to be popped into postimages.org and you get a link generated. The  direct link is what you post on MDL. Is that what you have been doing and it doesn't work?  Gosh, if so, then yeah, I don't know either!

Ok well that may explain it then. When I first asked how, I was told to use the above for pic and links. Maybe I misunderstood, but no one said anything about having to use postimages or it wouldn't work. That said, is there a way to use it without having to DL images to your comp first? I'm scared to try and DL any pics again after what happened to my comp the last time I did, but tbh, that's the only way I've ever posted pics before along with the window's shortcut for gifs. I did see the UL Url button which I assume will work for actual links like YT vids etc., but what about google search photos or gifs? Do you have to go directly to the source's site and get a url? If so, won't that just post their whole page rather than just the image? Sorry I feel like an idiot having to ask this stuff.

 American Fan:

Every once in awhile I watch the Kingdom performances on YT.

Girl, I do this ALL the time too. Some of those performances were just epic!

 American Fan:

Just an F.Y.I for music lovers: There is a Sound Tracker Lovers Club but it's not too active.

Is it just talk about soundtracks or music in general?

 DramaNomNom:

What would you recommend for my first JBL? I'll add it to my watchlist :)

From the current playing I recommend:

I hear the sun spot (Hidamari ga Kikoeru) adapted from the movie Silouette of Your Voice

Takara's Treasure (Takara no Vidro)

Sugar Dog Life is ok so far too, tho not a top pick for me. I also enjoyed Cosmetic Playlover that just finished.

From the finished ones, I recommend:

 At 25:00 in Akasaka (25 Ji, Akasaka de)

Candy Colored Paradox (Ameiro Paradox)

Love is Better the Second Time Around (Koi wo Suru nara Nidome ga Jato) which has the BEST and most artful NC scenes and my favourite side character (Shiraishi Yuto). A definite must see imho.

I Can't Reach You (Kimi ni wa Todokanai)

Living With Him (Kare no Iru Seikatsu). 

*Side note: Tho not your typical story series, I also highly recommend the BL dating reality show called The Boyfriend and tho NOT a BL, but my ultimate fave, As Long As We Both Shall Live.

 Simi_Tutu:

I prefer Papa Bear over Mama Bear, hahaha!

Normally so do I, but there's something intangible about Mix that always draws me in. If he were an Idol I'd call it his stage presence. 

 Simi_Tutu:

"Your Sign"  stays lives rent  free in my head.

I'll have to check that one out!

 Simi_Tutu:

Sometimes I need to chai.

Guuuuurl, we all need to slurp up some of that hot Chai now and again!

 Simi_Tutu:

God yes so watch like stat so we can talk about it !!!!!  You want NCs will The Sign's got NCs for you LOL

LOL you misunderstood me. I've already seen both The Sign and Wandee. I was saying how did I miss adding them to my top favourite (2024) BL list.

 RXinw:

I don't know about the plot but those abs are 10 for me YES BABY LET THE WATER CASCADE DOWN THAT TRAIL!

BWAHAHAHAHA! Humina, humina!

There was a post here a day or two ago about Mandee's announcement on Friday that Thomas and Kong  will no longer be able to play the supporting roles in "Next Prince".

I fell in love with Thomas/Kong

I was SOOOO looking forward to them and their ship in this show. What gets me the most is this news means not only do I not get to see them, but one of the shows I've been waiting on pins and needles to see, and thought was near to completion and soon to be airing, now probably won't air this year. *Waah*

 OnyxTheHedgehog:

Good luck lol 

Wow ur fast lol

I didn’t get much time to watch yesterday but I’ll be watching at least one ep of Trapped a day 

Yeah I'm definitely a binge watcher...I don't like to stop until I complete the series. I started I Hear The Sunspot last night and I'm almost done with the available episodes.  <3

Ok so I finished finished Trapped and we have developed a love/hate relationship. When it first started, I immediately fell in love with all the characters, especially Tang Yi and Jack, and I was enjoying the show quite a lot. Although I once again experienced 2nd couple Syndrome and ended up liking them more than the leads, my love of Tang Yi and the actor's phenomenal acting (and gorgeous visuals), kept me interested and still invested in the main couple too. That said, I can't tell you how many times I wanted to comb down that one damn flipped up piece of Fei's hair....lol

Then it kinda went downhill for me in the middle with the continuity and plot issues and I hated the whole 180 degree character change to a now goofy/nerdy Shao Fei and the half a second flip flop of the female's character, as well as all the ridiculous facial expressions of the Captain. It picked up again for the last part, but I couldn't get back to that same level of enjoyment. In all honesty, I think Chris Wu (not to be confused with the horrible Kris Wu) carried this show on his back and if his character had been played by anyone else, I think the show would've been a flop. 

All in all, it was a decent show overall with a good storyline. Did I love it? No. Would I watch it again? Probably not, but I still liked it well enough to give it between a 7 and 7.5.

Me too! It's the main reason I haven't started The Untamed yet...lol. How are you liking your first JBL?

 GelfyFaeth222:

My review for Laws of Attraction  Rated 9 ~ Vigilante justice served in a super grungy glamourous aesthetic and I was right in my element.

I keep a top 20 favourite series list and BL is starting to dominate it LOL I think I have now watched enough BL shows to warrant it's own list 

I'm all grown up now LOL

I haven't seen that one yet but it's on the list. Congrats on being grown up now. LOL :D

 DramaNomNom:

 I have to agree with you on the sister and the captain..they seemed over the top to me. I looked at the character development of Ai Fei as him changing due to falling in love with Tang Yi.  One thing I didn't understand is why did the dad kill himself after they talked at the mother's grave? After he talked to Ai Fei it seemed like he wanted to try and be apart of Tang Yi's life. At least for me if there had been a season 2 I could've seen that being part of the storyline. 

I actually experienced a kind of shock when the dad killed himself. It was very unexpected. I didn't see a tag for the "S" word on MDL's drama page. I always look for that due to my own personal/family experience with that issue.

My exact thought as well about the relations btw dad and son. It was a shame cuz a growing positive relationship would have been a great outcome, or as you mentioned for S2. I guess the dad was too wrapped up in his own internal battles, which is part of the "S" issues. I can't even use the word, sorry.
