BL Drama Lovers Club

 American Fan:

Is this your first time watching Love in the Air? I don't want to spoil anything, but yeah, I felt a bit that way too about Rain for awhile...he starts off immature and kinda childish. 

BossNoeul is one of my top fav BL pairs. For some it's FortPeat! 

Is there more FortPeat fans here? Sometimes I get the feeling I'm outnumbered.  (**thinking emoji**)

Yes! It's my first time. I'm enjoying delving into the BL I missed the last few years. I'm an old school OffGun gal (which reminds me I have to watch Not Me), so this is my first intro to these two pairs. I'll be exploring them more, though!

 Simi_Tutu:

Great! I'm glad... there are so many posts  here I wanted to make sure it didn't  get lost in the mix

I initially had trouble sticking with the LITA series. Although I liked Boss's acting, Noeul's performance could have been better. Their acting styles could have meshed better(I know this is an unpopular opinion), although I understand it could have been intentional based on the characters. Because of this, I almost stopped watching the series, but everything changed for me in episode 8. Sky's story was a game-changer.

I'm glad I'm not alone in my feelings toward him. He is slowly growing on me, but it's more like mold growing right now. But hey, it's growing.

 Simi_Tutu:

Can one truly be a sincere fan of a pair if they don't love both individuals equally?

I think so. The sum of the two together is greater than one alone. One won't have the same effect. That's the beauty of a pair - their interactions, emotions and chemistry. What they bring as a whole. I think many of us celebrate that aspect as well as the individual actors.

I like Boss more but that's cuz I'm more attracted to him. Overall I like their relationship more than some other BL pairs. Noeul is very beautiful irl (and edgy which I like) and nothing like Rain. Both have not acted in many series yet, so I'm really excited to see their new drama coming later this year.

BTW, they will be in EP 10 of Love Sea!

 Simi_Tutu:

However, when it comes to Peat, I do acknowledge him as an actor and respect his relationship with Fort.

Even though FortPeat aren't one of my favs, they both do a great job of acting. We are all so different! I find Peat beautiful and fascinating and almost don't even notice Fort! haha

 Simi_Tutu:

Also I feel called out after me stating that I wasn't a fan of BossNoeul you state that you  are 

I actually didn't realize! lol I know you're joking, but for sure it's rare for me to be upset or offended by someone else's preferences. :-)

For some reason I was going through the comments on the LITA page today and up to now didn't realize the show was controversial and negative to some others. Here I've been blabbing all along about it being a fav. However the very first reviewer shared an interesting perspective on the series in a really good way. I felt better after that cuz I was wondering if something was wrong with me since I love the show so much. hehe. 

And I've gone on and on about one series!! I don't usually.

ETA: That's Rique job!! hahahahaha

I'm just checking in to see if you were able to see my comment about how to quote specific phrases on a post instead of the whole thing

If you highlight only the portion you want, the word Quote should appear right above, then you click on it. This doesn't work on my phone, btw.

I do have BossNoeul's new project on my PTW for 2024. I can acknowledge that both couples are new to the BL, so they only have a little on their backlog. It's safe to say that they will develop their skill with more time. I have already seen it with Peat in Love Sea. The good thing is that both couples are so loved. I'm sure we will see a lot more from them in the future.

 American Fan:

I had a feeling this would happen, and it will be a recurring trend for both couples in future series. A part of me hopes this won't be the case because I want them to grow independently from each other and thrive.

OUCH! This hurt me so bad. .. I will gladly keep my husband all to myself.  tehe

It all comes down to how people interpret the show they are watching. Some individuals have a keen analytical mind and can dissect details in a scripted series. I can do that from time to time. I'll be honest: 90% of the time, I watch for a specific theme. While most of my favorite BL series feature healthy and supportive relationships, I'm still a huge fan of BL series that push the boundaries.

One of my favorite series is The Novelist, specifically the sequel movie The Novelist: Playback. I don't hear anybody talking about it.  The series was definitely not to everyone's taste.

Love Sea EP 3

@Rique - I like how you captured the feel of this series. I'm enjoying it, but I don't have a way to use words to describe the underlying emotions and issues going on. I can feel them, like when Mut talked about his father's behavior it was sad to hear. 

When Rak was on the phone with his sister it didn't sound like a very pleasant childhood. It also crossed my mind that Peat is in another victim type role, as he was in LITA, with Fort being the "rescuer". Not good or bad, just an observation. 

Rak is warming up to Mut a little quicker than I was expecting. In many series it goes on for forever before someone shows any signs of like or love. Some kind of unspoken rule in dramas maybe.

From the tension in episode 1 of SunsetxVibes,  I have a feeling that the route is going. 

?? 

I started EP 1  briefly, then stopped. So I don't know what it's about yet and not sure I'll continue. Waiting to hear from others. I feel there is a difference in an erotic themed-based show compared to one erotic scene in a show of a different theme. If that makes sense.

Let me add NO judgement here. I don't care what others watch. We all have individual tastes and comfort levels. I like it here cuz everyone is respected. :-)

This one has been on PTW list for some time now. I honestly forgot about it until now upon seeing you mention it. I don't know when I will watch it but I will be sure to leave my review of it here when I do watch it; in a very filtered manner (if it is as erotic as it seems). Well, I may just use warnings and spoilers if my intrusive thoughts win, we will see.
