why does it feel like them getting from point A to B is going to HURT.

(re "My Only 12%") No worries, it's basically a sweet watch. The Santa/Earth BL that's tougher to watch is their episode of "7 Project", with some really heavy, nasty bullying.

 axdxex:

I think I like Earth much better in this than UMWA.

Yup, the role fits him really well and was, for me, the turning point in how I view Earth as an actor. I also did not like him in UWMA; yes, he does the distressed stuff really well, but the character was annoying (to put it mildly), and the love story with Korn was a total fail for me. Same for his character (Tar) in LBC.

 RXinw:

I am really going to miss being here often.

Noooo!  Don't leave me!!!

 American Fan:

I hope you get a chance to watch this drama soon, P43425!

I'm slow to get around to stuff, but no worries, I still have your recommendation list, which I cross off as I watch them ...

 RXinw:

Updates:

... but that being said, it looks like September is gonna be a busy month for new releases!

My current obsession Nagumo Shoma

"I call dibs." (Sorry, you weren't fast enough.)
So he's now #38 on my "exclusive rights" list (or as American Fan would say, my "harem".)

I just watched today's Episode 9 of my favourite airing BL "Takara no Vidro". Have I mentioned how much I totally love love love this series? Among the other treasures in this episode (excuse the feeble wordplay), I like how the perspective is shifted to Takara, right from the opening. Multi-perspectivity is a technique that often works for me.

I also watched Episode 4 of "Sugar Dog Life" (still no news on an international release, grrrr) and am lovin' it as the relationship between the student and the cop slowly blossoms.

And of course, Monday also means "Battle of the Writers". Fingers crossed ...

 axdxex:

omg I finally watched the first ep of My Only 12% and have you guys lead me astray with the promise of a cute drama? Because it most definitely is adorable— but why does it feel like them getting from point A to B is going to HURT.

• I think I like Earth much better in this than UMWA.
• Santa!!! I follow him on all the socials, but had only ever watched him in Between Us and competing on Fantasy Boys. He does cute high school boy really well.

Anyway, I feel good about this one. It feels homey.

Oh yeah I cried a lot in this drama lol (it may just be me since I’m so emotional) 

But I’m glad ur enjoying so far! 

@RXinw we’ll miss u!! Make sure to get enough rest. I hope that ur work goes well Hia <3 

 OnyxTheHedgehog:

@p43425 I love Cooheart and honestly loved his character in UWMA (am I the only one who watched the series just to see the KornIntouch scenes?)

Cooheart can be very cute and sweet, but as to your question: Yes, out of 66,120 MDL watchers, it seems you are the only one. Revel in your uniqueness!

 OnyxTheHedgehog:

LBC (although I kinda just hated the whole series in general lol)

I love it despite its flaws (especially the awful Tin/Can ending, before they sloppily retconned everything in LBC2). Part of this is coloured by nostalgia, as it's one of the first Asian BLs I watched, but it's also because I am generally willing to overlook a lot of flaws in favour of the good.

 OnyxTheHedgehog:

I guess I’m the only one who cried

Naw, I also get very emotional and teary at all that kind of stuff, but at least I knew where the series was going in the end.

Never thought I'd see Rammstein sandwiched by ABBA and Kpop Lisa LOL  You have a very eclectic list 

 American Fan:

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...

I actually spent the first half of my life in the Deep South - good ole Georgia (the Atlanta suburbs). I hated country music back then, but now that I live up north I really enjoy listening to it. I actually lived in New Hampshire for a long time and country music is surprisingly popular there despite being way up north. I am still not a huge fan of a LOT of country music (especially the absolute shit pop-country that was really popular in the 2010s - the stuff sang by men). There was a huge switch in the country music genre after 9/11, from like "working class woes" to "beer truck women America" - I think the genre is finally recovering though. Recent country music is much better than like 10 years ago. I enjoy country music sung by women from all eras though. Gimme a good "kill my cheating husband" song and I'll eat it up every time.
