I really enjoyed both

Got it! I'll start them. I want some stuff to watch at the start of the week, since most of the shows I'm watching air during the weekend.

Be sure to come back here and share what you think! Good or bad, it's all okay! :-)

I really enjoyed both, but Addicted Heroin received a bad reception, which is why the rating is low. The series doesn't deserve it.

Boys Be Brave is fairly short and fluffy but also meaningful.

I also really enjoyed both. "Boys Be Brave" is a cute and amusing watch, and I personally thought "Addicted Heroin" was really good on its own merits, i.e. so long as one doesn't try to compare it with "Stay With Me", which seems to be one of two reasons for most negative ratings - and it's really very different, so I found it easy not to compare. The other reason for many negative ratings seems to be moral disapproval because of the age difference between the lead actors (August and Mac), which I personally find not only irrelevant but also disrespectful to actors as professionals. For goodness sake, this isn't a porno! Anyways, August and Mac are really good and well matched, and the secondary couple (Newyear/Jur) are really cute and funny and generally a delight to watch. So yeah, I can also recommend both.

Perfect 10 Liners EP6

So far, this series is a delight to watch, most of all because of the amazing cast. With 24 episodes extending through April, it will be a part of my life for almost half a year. GMMTV: Don't let me down!

Love in the Air : Koi EP5

I agree that this remake addresses my one substantive complaint about the otherwise iconic original, namely that it seems to be intertwining the two stories rather than presenting them sequentially. I like Arashi and Rei. But on the whole, I still think it's a fairly direct and compressed remake of a good original that didn't need remaking - and so far, it subtracts a lot and doesn't add much.

Your Sky EP3

This show is adorable! Fah is totally already in love with Teerak, and I’m going to guess it happened before the show started.

It sure is - most of all on the strength of Thomas and Kong, who are not only proving to be very solid actors in their first lead roles but are also perfectly cast. However, after three episodes there's still no background (other than in the trailers), which I find a strange way to structure the series. I assume it's still coming (university orientation, origin of "Saggy Cheeks" nickname, how Fah fell for Teerak ...).  Nevertheless, I'm lovin' it - not least because of the way in which the two seasons of "DMD Friendship the Reality" (last winter and the just finished "It Takes Two") succeeded brilliantly in getting me invested in the actors (not only Thomas & Kong but also AuAu & Save, Por and Patji).

DAY 2 - Cuteness Overload Award  Given how serious the show was, the bright light and cutie pie was Sin Ju Yeong.

Exactly. Here's what I find so funny. Mac, who is 17, prob has one of the longest list of acting work to his credit more than most BL actors. He's not some fresh kid off the street working his first gig.

LITA-J - I'm pretty close to the same opinion. I'm enjoying it for what it is and of course it won't get the same rating as LITA from me.  At the same time, I'm not going to punish this series by giving it a lowball rating, like what happened with Addicted Heroin, just cuz it doesn't measure up to the original.
