BL Drama Lovers Club

OK, I also watched today's first two episodes of "Eccentric Romance", which marks my third Thai-Korean collaboration of this year.

The first was "Love Is Like A Cat", which is my top nomination for "Worst BL of 2024" for a number of reasons, including but not limited to the incredibly sloppy, lazy, lame way in which they handled the language issue. Even for me with my low standards positive outlook, getting through the series was a struggle.

The second was "Close Friend S3: Soju Bomb", which was only tangentially BL and also misleadingly named in that it had zero connection with S1 and S2, but it was actually a pretty cute comedy which I really enjoyed. The language issue was handled reasonably well, and at least the Thai actors (cuties!) made the effort to learn some Korean.

So far, I rather like "Eccentric Romance". It's not great art, but it's cute 'n fluffy. As to the language issue, it suffers a bit from the laziness of "Cat" in terms of rationalising how other characters perfectly understand Save Saisawat speaking Thai, while he perfectly understands everyone else speaking Korean - but so far, it's not nearly as glaringly lame as "Cat", and at least Save attempts "hello" and such in Korean, which is more than Mew Suppasit in "Cat" (i.e. absolutely zero attempt to learn anything in Korean).

Anyways, aside from the language issue, I like it so far. But then again, my standards are famously low where cuties are involved, and Save (left in photo) is nothing if not a cutie.

 American Fan:

I just went to Addicted Heroin's MDL page and now regret it. The comments are filled with hate and trash talk.

Yes, that's predictable: all the moralisers about the age difference between the actors (August and Mac). I think they're perfectly matched - and for goodness sake, this isn't a porno!

Anyways, I'm also lovin' this series - including also the adorable and very funny side couple Only (Newyear) & Tiger/Kitty (Jur). I hope to see more of these two.

I love Tiger and Only! I hope to see a lot of them in S2.

Here's my take on the age thing regarding Mac. If one goes to his page they will see an insanely LONG list of his work for someone who is 16. He's had more roles than many BL actors, so I see that as a very mature level of experience in his line of work.  I'm just guessing, but he may also have parental permission. 

I agree, Mac and August make a great couple!

I am so excited for Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist. TBH the pilot wasn't that interesting-- but these two match so well (MarkOhm is IT, absolute chaos) and are good actors, so I think it'll work out. Plus, the director has an impressive work history.

Same!! I do not know why but I am excited lol

 Hannah:

Classroom moment with DeanPharm scene still lives rent free my head. It’s so cute and precious 

REAL!!!

 Wrenix:

I've started Eccentric Romance. Oh lord. First Note of Love had my brain travelling asia with a side character speaking thai amongst chinese speakers. Now it's like I've gone up a level with the ML's switching between thai and korean LOL My poor brain 

I want to start it but my schedule is squeezing me in a cornor.

Also fans are saying Every You, Every Me is like La Pluie and Colour Rush mated. 

 American Fan:

Love In The Air J-version Nov 3 is marked in red on my drama calendar!! This could be a good one for a GROUP WATCH!

I am still sceptic but I am interested to see the direction they take.
