BL Drama Lovers Club

 American Fan:

FOOD!!!  

I screamed omg isn't this RXinw's thing (am I remembering correctly?)

Edit. soulmates

 sjay:

Just finished Sugar Dog Life and all I can say is that I LOVED IT!

Ditto, triple exclamation point. 

My one minor complaint is the hazy cinematography thing that the Japanese like so much.

As to the food porn, I'm fine with it so long as they don't try to pass off pimped instant noodles as haute cuisine (not-so-subtle dig at "Aki wa Haru to Gohan wo Tabetai").

 axdxex:

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

Agree - these three JBLs were really special, each in its own unique and original way.

I would describe "The Trainee" as a comedy with a BL sub-plot, but in any case, I also quite liked it.

 sjay:

It's a pity that it didn't have a official international release though.

I just don't understand why the Japanese are sometimes not interested in international releases (or at least not until later, as an afterthought). Don't they want the easy extra money? Grrrr.

 American Fan:

I put Monster Next Door on hold. Does anyone rec that I finish it

I'm still really enjoying it, even though it's admittedly slow and has some flaws, but I think we've established that my standards are lower than yours. Thus, if you like something, I almost surely will, too - but not necessarily vice versa. 

 RXinw:

let me go watch Love Sick.

Episode 3

Well this was an aggravating episode, in a good way of course. The plot is unravelling beautifully and that means the upsetting parts. My heart felt warm watching the beach scene. 

I am looking forward to episode 4.

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. 

That’s amazing!!! Ahhh I can’t wait XD 

I stopped watching Summer Night cuz of school, but I was genuinely enjoying it and I loved seeing Dunk and Phuwin’s bromance lol 

It looks like I will be taking @American Fan's advice of getting some rest whether I like it or not since I am staying home today. Yes, the sore throat got worse. I can barely eat or talk and if I cannot talk I cannot debate and I refuse to lose any arguments due to illness.

On the bright side I get to watch at least one BL today as I still have notes to prepare and tests to study for soooo a working sick day lol.

Yeah, it's flu season here too. Drink lots of water and I hope you feel better soon <3

its suddenly hit me that now that The On1y One has finished, how much following airing shows help break up my week, rather than it feeling like one long slog to the weekend. 

I'm currently following Love Note and Kidnap and I want to check out Jack and Joker too. what other airing BL's are there right now that any of you would recommend?

Smells Like Green Spirit sounds promising but not in a fluffy way. It might not fit under the BL genre though( more like a queer coming of age??)
