BL Drama Lovers Club

Hey guys. I am really going to miss being here often. It is not even September yet and already I am here less than usual, sigh! (I am going to miss you, you know yourself *wink*)

@p43425 - regarding The On1y One, yes if a series is good it should not be critiqued harshly if it does divert from the original source work. I do understand the fans from China though as I too love Chinese BL novels. For me also they are very intricate and in depth work that do consume readers' minds and so it is hard to ever meet the standards of expectations when they are adopted into series. I think fans do need to make peace with the fact that oftentimes the book will be better.

@axdxex - Yes, lol that white paint part took me out lmao

21. Plan an ULT date with your ULT bias from question #15. Don't Hold Back.

My answer for question 15 is the one and only Dunk Natachai. I never let myself get too delulu but for the sake of the challenge-- let's go lol

I'm so basic, because the day would start off early, at a coffee shop where we'd grab coffee or tea, and toast. Then we'd spend the morning shopping for knick knacks and at a bookstore. We'd each go off on our own and occasionally check on each to her to see how we were doing. Then we'd grab lunch and leave room for desert. He'd of course split it with me, because I love deserts but I'm also not good with too much sugar.

Then we'd head out to a nearby park, were we'd find a spot under a tree to rest, because after shopping and eating I need a nap. We'd finally end the afternoon with a glass of wine or a mojito, on a cool terrace or quirky bar.

25. In which drama would you play the main lead and who is your lead partner? Talk about your pick.

I don't watch horror and gore-- except when it comes in the form of a supernatural romance with horror elements. If this was an alternate universe, and I was to appear in a BL, I would definitely choose this type of genre.

My inspiration for this show would be Hotel Del Luna, The Spirealm, Midnight Museum, Sell Your Haunted House and the trailers for (the not yet released) Khemjira and Goddess Bless You From Death.

The set up would be the classical MC who can see ghost and the supernatural and is therefore tormented. He is later aided by a capable ML who get's involved with the MC because of his occupation/history. Our ML may also have clairvoyance, but to a lesser extent, and relies on his knowledge/intellect to help MC. There will be of course a lot of taking care of each other after injuries, quiet pining, arguments and dramatic confession after a life threatening situation.

As for the casting-- first pick would probably be Fluke Gawin, he just seems like he'd fit the role of the ML to a T.

Day 26. What music genre do you listen to the most? Share some favorite songs from your playlist.

ooh this is a fun one!!! I say with pride I'm the type of person who really does listen to "everything" (INCLUDING country music). I actually don't really make playlists (I'm too lazy) so I usually use like Spotify's song or artist radio button (embarrassing, I know).

some faves atm (with links):

Smoke Sprite - So!YoON!

recently discovered So!YoON! from tiny desk concerts - I LOVE TINY DESK!

If I Die Young - The Band Perry

note: does still make me cry like every time

Everybody's Changing - Keane

love the piano in the background of this song

Moving Out - Kacey Musgraves

I'm moving on Wednesday so I gotta have a moving song!!!

Gunpowder and Lead - Miranda Lambert

Everybody needs a good country "killing my awful husband" song on their playlist at all times to relieve stress and anger <3

Don't Look Back In Anger - Oasis

I also recently discovered this song (I know, how have I missed it until now???)

2 Baddies - NCT 127

THE #1 best song to get hype while driving without fail. I listen to this song cranked all the way up with the windows down no shame whatsoever.

Nuts - RM

he's a freak and makes some good ass music that's all I gotta say

I am also an album listener, so my fav albums atm:

Same Trailer Different Park - Kacey Musgraves

Honestly I listen to every single one of her albums front to back often, hard to pick one.

Right Place, Wrong Person - RM

so funky and fun!!

Something To Give Each Other - Troye Sivan

I think Troye Sivan is a true constant in my life. I discovered him in like 5th grade or something and his music just keeps getting better!

Reflections - Sufjan Stevens (and others)

If I'm feeling intellectual that day. This music makes you feel like you are smarter than other people.

Day 21: Plan the ULT date with your ULT bias from Question #15

Aww man.. This is kinda hard. I think I'd want a friendship date with Mix. I think we'd do something fun and/or adventurous, which I defo think Mix can handle. Maybe skydiving or bungee jumping... Or just an amusement park would do. Then we'd get really delicious food and gossip about other gmmtv actors lol.

Day 22: If you could have just ONE superpower, which one would you pick and why? What would you do?

I think I'd definitely want spirit wandering (my spirit/soul can leave my body whenever I want). It's almost like invisibility, but I feel like I'd have more freedom with this kinda power. My body heat won't be detected and maybe I'd be able to fly in spirit form!!! I would probably wander out and gather all kinds of information! And go into all kinds of restricted areas without being detected or harmed.

Day 23: Do you sing and where is your favorite place to belt it out? What famous celeb do you sound like?

The only times when I sing out loud are when I'm in the shower or when I'm driving while listening to my fav songs lol. I mostly tend to hum when I'm at home. My singing level isn't high enough to sound like a famous celeb, so Imma skip this part.

Day 24: Do you play a sport or are you a spectator? What sports do you play or watch?

Nah, I don't play sports too often, but when I'm in the mood, I enjoy badminton. Other than that, I don't play nor watch any sports. Never really been a sports fan.

Day 25: In which drama would you play the main lead and who is your lead partner? Talk about your pick.

Hm...My current obsession Nagumo Shoma (Japanese payu). The man is just sooooooo damn fine lol. I'm definitely gonna have him as my lead partner!!! I'd probably wanna do something plot-packed (like Spirealm, Midnight Museum, Guardian, Not Me, and etc) with a good amount of romance and spice(obviously lol..).

Here are some Shoma gifs to bless y'all's eyes!!

Day 26. What music genre do you listen to the most? Share some favorite songs from your playlist.

You guys know those meme's where the person jokes that their playlist is so weird and random-- that's honestly me.

My playlist is a mix of songs in Spanish, English, Korean, Japanese and Thai, and occasionally other languages. There is no rhyme or reason to why I add a song to my playlist.

I guess my top genres are Pop, K-pop, Latin Pop. I often listen to music from when I was a kid/teen. My taste are pretty basic-- so don't expect some underground not yet discovered gem from me.

To make this easy for me, I'm going to shuffle my playlist 10 times and list them here.

I can see rn I will have to sign up for a Spotify acct if I'm gonna listen to y'alls songs. I'll work on it tomorrow.

Good ole country music. It's big in my state...the wife leaves the cheater, the cheater's dog dies and his truck breaks down. He's crying in his booze...

Emma:

I haven't even started thinking about it yet cuz it's overwhelming, to say the least. I figure I'll wait til tomorrow since that's my challenge day anyways.
