No worries, I'm travelling, so hubbie is 4000 miles away right now. (No, sadly I'm not with my most dearly beloved Fluke in Thailand.)

The important thing is that you have your wedding ring, lol. 

Hmmm, 4000 miles could be here in the states!

I saw this online the other day, and since I haven't' watched ANY of these, I'm going to start going down the list!

I have seen Where Your Eyes Linger, and have both To My Star and Blueming on my ptw list. Curse of Taekwondo is on hold because it looks deep,  so I'll let finish airing first lol

I  did not know it was meant to be a universe thing. Good to know. 

I rewatched the first episode of 10 Liners, now that my head is about to burst, and I at least, was able to follow it better this time. 

I can understand why they started with the youngest member, because that means they can finish with him, once they've told us about the other two but I don't know. It still doesnt feel cohesive enough to me. Maybe if they spent a little bit more time letting us get to know these guy, before jumping into the relationship building, I'd feel better. It still has too much of a whiplash effect, where they're introducing us to a character, who's leading us and then suddenly a building a relationship between two characters we've spent what? 2 minutes on? 

I guess that's fine for those who know the actors/pairings and are waiting for them but I don't and my poor brain had no clue how to process the opening LOL

With that said, I still stand by my original post. Also, the humour, kind of didn't land on me.

I'll give it another episode or 2 but I don't think I'll be watching this one for long. 

I was watching DMD Friendship the Reality : It takes Two, saw JJ's shirt and thought "omg it's cute, let me check the brand out" and it turns out that it's Net's freaking brand. 

Why am I so easily influenced lmao

I just looked it up. Hwang Da Seul is a 30yo female director/screenwriter. She was the screenwriter and director for these BLs:

• Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo (LFTCT)
• Where Your Eyes Linger 

And she directed these:

• To My Star 
• To My Star Season 2: Our Untold Stories 
• Blueming 

I liked all of the above and I finished ep 4 of LFTCT yesterday. It's definitely angsty but really good.

Gosh, what a remarkable coincidence - almost as if this might be a choreographed, non-spontaneous "reality" show with business goals and pre-determined outcomes (at least in part)?  (But I love it anyways!)

Any new (post-ep.4) speculation on Por and the other five "singles"?

My only comfort is that I actually do think the shirt is cute *sobs* I’m human. I too fall for product placement lmao

Ugh. I am genuinly confused! IDK how it’s playing out and I love that for me lol

Por could honestly go any and every route and I would approve. I like him with TeeTee, AuAu, and even Patji, but it feels like he’ll pick Patji by that conversation with TeeTee.

AuAu is going to pick Save— and after episode 4 I think they’ll be a good pair. Save grew on me a lot. He’s cute.

But like— would DMD really let TeeTee leave pairless a second time around??? It would almost feel like they’re giving up on him.

Lastly Ryujin. I think he might pick Patji since they seem close, or abstain from picking.

here are my recs:

Cherry Blossoms after Winter
Fukou-kun wa Kiss Suru Shikanai!
Sing My Crush
Takara-kun to Amagi-kun 

I loved all four of these (each 10 stars). Great recs, at least for my tastes.

(re: "DMD Friendship the Reality: It Takes Two") Yup - and as for your speculations (behind spoiler screen), those are pretty much exactly my own thoughts. In addition to Por's vague hints while talking to TeeTee, I've also tried to glean hints from the "Your Sky" teaser and trailer as to whether Por and Patji are meant to be a secondary couple and potentially a future ship. Patji is young and not yet "ripe", but he has high potential - and look at TeeTee now a year later and how much he's developed. In any case, I can't imagine that Latte or TeeTee would be here now if there weren't a ship waiting for them. For Latte, I guess it will be Kim, but for TeeTee, I still have no idea. I could see him with Por, but I didn't feel that happening at the dinner. 

Yes, Save is a total cutie, and if AuAu doesn't want him, I'll gladly take him!

As to your final speculation re Ryujin (who I think has a nice personality and is quite mature for his young age), I'm not sure if it makes sense to pair him with Patji as an early-stage age-matched pair with long-term potential - or rather to match them with more experienced partners.

 axdxex:

Patji will choose

or Domundi will choose for Patji?

 axdxex:

TutorYim is fantastic together

Be still my beating heart!

 axdxex:

this is just me thinking on my own

That makes two of us.

 axdxex:

This feels like a repeat of last season

I actually feel like it's even more pre-determined this time - but yeah, I think there might (whether spontaneously or by design) be two "leftovers" to carry over to the next round. Or there could be a ship (or two) that develops subsequent to the final episode (like FirstOne and Tle). All carefully designed to titillate the fans, which Domundi does quite well.
