Has anyone started Smells Like Green Spirit?

Yes. I've also read the manga and I'm aware it is not really a BL. I'm looking forward to it, though, as it covers the same topics as "Udagawachou de Matteteyo" (Japan, 2015) which I thought was also a good watch.

And I put Monster Next Door on hold. Does anyone rec that I finish it or do what my gut says, which is drop it...what do y'all think? Is it worth the time?

I think the mini-version (last year was it?) of this drama was better than what they actually put out. Everyone says it's great to have a green flag ML and relationship, but ... it just drags for me.

"Sugar Dog Life"? I just finished it up a

Another one I have on hold, but I do want to watch this one. If it's done then I'll pick it back up!

Green flags are great, but without a compelling or interesting story and some spice, which Monster doesn't have, then it's boring.

This is me when watching MND.

Just finished Sugar Dog Life and all I can say is that I LOVED IT! It's just so cute and adorable. It's the perfect breather show when you're tired from watching plot or emotion heavy dramas. I liked it so much that I reviewed the show. The show is like cotton candy❤️

I just finished watching too— like 2 minutes ago lol— it was adorable. I’m going to miss them.

What are your favorite shows you finished this month?

Takara no Vidro Just a feel good JBL between two opposites.
4Minutes (Sultrier Version) I probably should have watched the regular version, given that the NC scenes were a bit much for me. But I really liked the plot and I liked the ending.
The On1y One This had all the feels with all those lingering glances and who knew Jiang Tian would be so protective and nurturing. I am crossing my fingers for a Season 2.
Jack & Joker: U Steal My Heart! on air
Kidnap on air
Love Sick (2024) on air; small changes from the original

Same! It's a pity that it didn't have a official international release though.. I feel like this show could've gotten so much more attention

My choices are:
Takara's Treasure
The Time of Fever
The On1y One

I really liked :

Sugar Dog Life, Takara’s Treasure, and Hidamari Ga Kikuero— kudos to jbl this month

The Trainee was a great show, but like everyone has said, it wasn’t a BL per say

So like @RXinw posted in the update— In his bday fanmeeting, Dunk said THK will air shortly after Summer Night ends (Oct. 7). The team is also on Q23 out of 27. So THK will probably air in October! I’m soooo excited.

Sugar Dog Life - I just watched EP 3 and since the eps are short I might finish tonight. The two MLs are really cute together. I'm digging the cop for sure.

While watching I realized another "thing" about J-dramas that I don't care much about. It's neither good or bad, but just my preference.

FOOD!!!

So many dramas have convos and "feeling" centered around food and feeding someone food. I'm sure it must be a cultural thing. I can't relate to food on such a deep level as I see depicted in J-dramas. At times I feel impatient when it's the ONLY thing talked about and the main basis for a relationship connection. Like, really?

And in this case, the possible romantic interest (on the cop's side) reminds him of his mother!! Say what?

Yes, yes...I'm watching a J-BL, my least fav. I'll keep going though.
