I’ve added the latter to my PTW list, it looks cute!

Yes, "Our Dining Table" ("Bokura no Shokutaku" + special episode "Bokura no Kyuujitsu") is lovely and highly recommended. As to "the former" (i.e. "Kieta Hatsukoi"), I see you already have it on your PTW list, and yes, it has a Christmas scene at the end, but more to the point it's generally really good (in my opinion, better than the Thai remake), so you should give it a try!

Who is excited about the first episode of "ThamePo" tomorrow?  Me, me, me!

Me Me Me! I'm so excited for the idol concept and LYKN (I think my bias is Hong) and WilliamEst. 


This week I re-watched 'Star In My Mind' and 'Perfect Propose', and thankfully, both held up.

I also binged 'Love is Better The Second Time Around,' which I actually really liked.  

Currently Loving 

  • Perfect 10 Liners : I can't believe ForceBook's part of the story is already ending this week
  • See Your Love : After this week, I'm obsessed. I love these two.
  • The Heart Killers : this show makes me a little insane, I love that idk what to expect every week
  • Your Sky : This one is so sweet and I love the cast!!!

Others : I like them but they just feel a little off. It's not hitting *sobs*

  • LITA - KOI : The pacing is off, it's moving too fast, but I do like the characters and story so I'm still enjoying it.
  • Fourever You :  I don't think this is getting a super high rating for me, although I do LOVE JohanNorth.

The year is almost over and I still have shows on hold that I want to finish-- and Cdramas to watch !

Yes, two of my faves.

Yes, it's nice to see an idol group being played by an idol group, and it's nice to see a good supporting actor graduating to a lead role. (Yes, Hong is very cute, but my heart belongs to Lego.)

Yes, although I can't say I love it, you make a good point.

At the risk of speaking for others, I think there are probably two main reasons why many are less enthusiastic about this series: (1) It's a lot of Earth so far, and feeling about him are divided. (I also wasn't so keen on him until "My Only 12%" dramatically changed my opinion.) (2) The series would be more engaging if the four storylines were better intertwined. (This is the one small advantage that "LITA-J" has over the iconic original.)

Progress with Fourth is so damn cute. An up-and-coming legend with a legend.

Side note: I started watching Love Sick last week and only saw the first episode so far just to see if I'd be into it. This is one of those series that instantly grabbed me from the very start like Century of Love and Kidnap did. Progress definitely has that "it" factor 100%! I think he is going to blow up and be one to look out for in the years to come. Both he and Almond have such awesome chemistry—both are fantastic actors, and I cannot wait to see the rest of the episodes—it really seems like it's going to be a sweet series. I had this on my back burner, so I'm late to watching it as it's about end in 2 weeks, but I don't mind as I think this would be an excellent one to binge.

Even better than the Thai remake? I LOVED the Thai remake so I’ll probably enjoy Kieta Hatsukoi even more then lol

Day 12: Must watch drama-

I have quite a few from 2024 and they are Century Of Love, Love For Love’s Sake, My Stand In, We Are, High School Frenemy,  Unknown, and The On1y One and as for currently airing I am really loving Caged Again, LoveSick 2024 and See Your Love. <3

 OnyxTheHedgehog:

(re "Kieta Hatsukoi") On the whole, that's my opinion, although there are certain things that the Thai remake did better - and of course, Fourth and Gemini are always magically good.

 Jadeheart:

(re "Love Sick 2024") Yes! Progress and Almond (both) are amazing for such young and experienced actors, and some of the supporting actors (also very young) are also quite good. Great future potential here. 

I'm a bit surprised to see Progress posing with Fourth, given that they're with different production houses. Or maybe it's in anticipation of Progress winding up at GMMTV.

@p43425 yeah I think Fourth and Gemini were the main reason I loved MLMU so much lol

Day 12: Must watch drama-

This question is way too big so I’ll just post a link to my Masterpiece BLs list

Day 12: Must Watch Drama of 2024

Looking back over the year, I've hardly rated any BL a 10/10, which would have made it easy to find a best title. So I have two series, very different from each other, that got a 9/10 from me, not including Boys Be Brave.

Unknown  &  We Are

If I had to rec just one, it would be We Are for the entertainment value. Unknown is deeper and more emotional.


Since other's are posting current series favs to least favs, here's mine. (I'm a little out of it lately cuz I'm home sick. My head hurts so I am barely watching anything at all)

I'm loving the most -  Perfect 10 Liners

Next -  Caged Again & Your Sky

Least Fav -  Fourever You (I haven't kept up with it) I'm one of those that doesn't find Earth as appealing as other actors. Whenever I think I need to catch up, I choose smth else to watch.

On The Fence

The Heart Killers  After EP 3 I'm struggling a bit. I haven't seen EP 4. I'm thinking I might switch to the cut version and see how I feel.

LITA-J  I have a feeling I can tolerate this series only cuz I've seen LITA-Thai enough to know what's going on in btw all the editing. If I wasn't familiar with the orig story I might feel different.

 p43425:
"The Japanese religious worldview is very open and inclusive. For a Japanese person it is completely normal to bring a newborn baby to a Shinto shrine for a blessing, have a Christian-style wedding and a Buddhist funeral.

I like the idea of openness to religions and tolerance of different doctrines. Interesting though, generally speaking, that the Japanese society doesn't appear to be as open to diversity of race, other cultures and people from other countries, etc. 

It was just a thought that popped into my mind as I read your post.

Day 12: Must watch drama-

Love in the big city, Century Of Love, Love For Love’s Sake, My Stand In, Unknown, and about whats currently airing Im enjoying watching Spare me your mercy and The heart killers

Nice! Looking forward to seeing the rest. That would be interesting to see if that's the case with Progress possibly joining with GMMtv. I mean I can see it. He seems like someone they would have.

 p43425:
Who is excited about the first episode of "ThamePo" tomorrow?

I haven't been paying attention. It looks like smth I might like, since the theme is idols & music. Is it a whole boy band in the series?

Tomorrow my ult group, Stray Kids is dropping a new album, so I'm a bit more focused on that rn. lol. Every member has their own solo and MV too, for the first time. Yep, I'm excited.

The Heart Killers ep 4

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Sorry one more-

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*cough* anyway, that is what I was doing the entire time I was watching

Oh and I just watched the trailer for Dare You To Death and I think they should change the name to JoongDunk You To Death because JD WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME I SWEAR-
