I don't regret watching it but it wasn't the best BL. I just wanted to see FortPeat again

Ariane, welcome to the group. I also (mostly) liked "Love Sea", and it even started out promising until going down after episode 4 or so - so yeah, I admit it: it was because of my love for Fort & Peat.

 autumn iris:
Doku Koi is about a lawyer and a swindler.

I'm really enjoying this one! However, there's no official international release yet, just fan subbers.

 autumn iris:
Uncle Unknown is about past lover who meet again in a bar. Unknowingly they're nephew and uncle. Watch it for visuals, not recommended.

I haven't watched it yet, but the visuals look good, and it's just mini-episodes, so the total runtime seems to be about an hour, i.e. not much of a time investment. Knowing me and my weakness for cuties, I'll surely watch it once it finishes airing, even if the story is total cr*p.

Thx for your warm welcome !

In terms of current releases:
"Every You, Every Me" (Mick & Top) - individual "short story" episodes, quite good!
"Addicted Heroin" (loose and light Thai adaptation of "Addicted") - really good, so long as one doesn't try to compare to "Stay With Me" or "Addicted" (although others don't necessarily share my opinion)
"Fourever You" (currently on Pond/Earth, three more couples to come) -  cute and fluffy, I personally like it! (again, others don't necessarily share my opinion)
"DMD Friendship the Reality: It Takes Two" (introduces Domundi/Mandee 4th generation artists) - I like it, and it's a great way to get to know the new actors/ships
"Doku Koi" ("Love Is Like A Poison") - as already mentioned, quite good!
"Eccentric Romance" (Thai-Korean) - mediocre, but the Thai actor (Save Saisawat) is a cutie

I tend to hold back with some of the current releases so I can binge-watch once they're close to finishing.

I'm also trying to finish up lots of other (older) BLs that I still have open. I have a short attention span and switch back and forth, so I tend to juggle a lot of things.

Ooooh ... official trailer for "Your Sky" was just posted. I love Thomas & Kong! Similar to the teaser a few months ago, but I see at least one cast change*. I just hope that Mandee doesn't disappoint on the delivery (as it's been known to do) ... so fingers crossed.

* addition of Mike Chinnarat (who left GMMTV at the end of last year) - good actor!

It so fun to see this trailer now and know half of the cast vs when the pilot was posted.

I love that they casted Por as Thomas' brother because they somehow give similar vibes.

Looking forward to this one <3

Yes - and I keep looking for little clues about how Por, Auau, Patji and Save might pair up ("DMD Friendship the Reality: It Takes Two")

I hadn't thought about that, but yes, you're right.

I think this will be my first Cantonese BL!

(re "Our Golden Times") Sorry, I lied: "My Colleague at BL Shop Might be the Meant-to-be" was also in Cantonese. For those who don't know it, it's three short episodes which basically seem like a self-produced advert by a Hong Kong manga bookstore, so it's very low budget and there's basically zero story - but it's cute (and short).

That's right - and then you need trigonometry to solve for the angle from "opposite" and "adjacent". I think it's:  inverse tangent(3/4) = 36.9° - or "to the nearest degree" = 37° ... which sounds about right (plausibility check), as it's got to be something a bit less than 45°. (P.S. Long long ago I studied engineering.)

I hate mathematics. I avoid it like the plague unless is money lol

Maybe too hard to resist? 

Hehe, well damn, you know I can't resist you *smirk*

Day 22 - Favourite School Project

Now is the time to let my nerd flag fly high lol

Mind you when I left high school I had awards and regional distinctions for these subjects  except for French (I did that one with the french gov. thanks to an amazing teacher who offered me the opportunity as a Caribbean student; yup teachers' pet right here lol) (Oh I am serious about my nerd flag):

I love History, Chemistry, Biology, English A & B, Religious Education, Principles of Business, French

Now after High School my favs are:

Law, Literatures In English, Sociology, History, Caribbean Studies

In conclusion is you want an essay then I am your guy, anything math related stay clear of me unless it is money or science related lol

Well that is enough of my boasting *cough* I mean sharing *nervous smile*

So I finally got round to watching Every you, Every me, episode 3 and I'm glad this one's in two halves because it would be very random if that were it LOL

I'm curious how many couples there's going to be. The actors, Top and Mick are only listed with the 3 names so far, so are we going to go back to the previous characters again? I am highly amused right now.

I cant take this as being different lives because they all seem to be happening simultaneously in the modern world LOL 

I realised last night that BL couples are giving a dynamic that they carry with them as a bl couple. They will play different characters, but the dynamic between the two will remain the same. I had never thought of that before. I  thought BL couples were created simply if they looked good together, I had never thought that they would literally be given a blue print, and that would just carry over into whatever roles followed from it. 

This whole show feels like a way to do that with Top and Mick. Like execs are trying to figure out what their 'dynamic' is, while let the boys embrace different characters, either top or bottom. Which is fun I suppose. 

That last shot of Top lying down having his naked chest gentle stroked was an absolutely gorgeous shot. His eyes were all twinkly. I would fall in love too LOL
