Funny you should say that....here's my test result.

Aww, that's a nice MBTI result!  My MBTI is INJT-T... I think I can safely say I am literally your opposite :)

@American Fan : "The last episode doth not maketh a masterpiece", said the Drama Gods. Rate accordingly.

(Can’t quote right now.) 

I know. I know. It’s the fact that I liked the first 3 episodes and the last episode, that is confusing me! But I really can’t ignore the mess that was the other 6 episodes— for now I’m running away. I’ll rate it… later… 

 American Fan:

I'm going through my special "Waiting to Air" list. 

Is anyone is watching  Mitsuya Sensei no Keikakutekina Ezuke? It started 7/26.

I'm interested.  I know, I know, it's a JAPANESE BL, but -  I LOVE age gaps so age gap wins!

Another series, starting this Friday, is The Last Time.  Maybe another age gap! Is this a trending trope?

I feel very willing and comfortable jumping into any J-BL with you because we both have a general aversion to them so it feels like having a friend who gets you watching along with so I will watch this one with you :)

P.S I am not sure if I have said this before but one thing I love about you when you post is that you edit the links to open in a separate tab and that just makes things so convenient for me; it is the little things *smiley emoji*

.....ewww that sound mushy.

Okay I saw your dilemma and my mathematics brain jumped in (I actually hate all math that has nothing to do with money directly);

lets say you give 10 stars to each episode and there are 10 episodes so that is a total value of 100. You liked 4 episodes out of the 10 which is 4 ten stars valued at 40/100 (40%), so now find 40% of 10 stars which is 4 so there is the starting point for rating; 4 stars which is just basically giving 1 star to each episode you liked lol. Now you can give an extra 1 or 2 stars for things you liked about the series (actors, set, OST, etc.) which would give the final rating of about 5-6 stars. 

This is my unsolicited advice lol.

Battle of the Writers  EP 3

I must be on a lucky streak of good BL eps the past few days. And that includes BOTW!

Sure, it's a challenge to keep up with the storyline, but I'd much rather that then be bored out of my mind thinking "To drop or not to drop...?"

Tutor is sooo FINE!! Loving his style in this series. Yim is as cute as can be. Tutor looks at Yim like he's the sweetest desert ever.

Agree with all. The storyline is indeed confusing, especially keeping things straight between reality, the depiction of the virtual collaboration, and the story-within-the-story. I will need to re-watch this one. But it's all worth it because I love Tutor and Yim so much - and thankfully it seems to be back to that lovely Tutor/Yim dynamic more like Nuer/Syn (for me, the highlight of "Cutie Pie") rather than the train wreck of "Middleman's Love".

 TY_0910:

Were your boyfriends ukes or semes?

Nope, I won't answer this directly (yeah, I'm very private, but in part also because the answer would be complex and boring). However, I will titillate you by saying this: My attractions and lustful fantasies can be idiosyncratic and inconsistent, but one of my special weaknesses is for cuties who look uke (especially "pure boy" types) but are actually seme (and perhaps not quite so pure). Since there are sensitive young ears in this forum, I won't go into further sordid details.

I already watched "Perfect Propose" back when it came out on Gagaooala, and I loved it. I've now taken its re-release on Viki as a nudge to re-watch it, and I'm lovin' it all over again.

However, I have a dilemma: Am I in love with Kai (the character) or with Nomura Kota (the actor)? What if I arrange a passionate real-life affair with Nomura and then discover that his real personality is totally different from Kai's? Since he's an actor, can I ask him to be "Kai" when he's having the affair with me, or would this be impolite or even exploitative? I need advice from Miss Manners.

One of the advantages of the Thai BL fan service machine is that I get a much better idea of what the actors are really like - but since many of my crushes are for JBL characters, this problem tends to come up quite a lot for me.

I don't know who Miss Manners is, but my suggestion would be to stop dreaming lol :) I mean you missed a hundred million steps and went straight for the "roleplay affair" with Nomura! :P

First of all, I think it's better for your marriage if you like Kai and not Nomura because I feel like if your partner finds out, we wouldn't have a P43425 to discuss our gay interests anymore :(

Second of all, I think you might not be able to look at Kai the same way once you have gotten to know Nomura, which is seriously a landmine don't you think? Do you really wanna risk losing your love for perfect propose? :(

Thirdly, yes, I think you might be inducing some serious trauma in the poor fellow lol, since you don't want to have the affair with him, but the character he played on screen :D (which I agree btw, that dude is so sweet!)

(but if it is just a fantasy, and he is okay with it, I think it should be fine, heehee! ^^)

 TY_0910:

if it is just a fantasy

Yeah, it is. So don't pop my bubble!

 TY_0910:

*virtually throwing my hands around you for a big, big hug!*

Awww. *blush*

 TY_0910:

JBLs (and the actors too *wink*) are a slice of heaven!

Indeed. Please help me explain this correct factual statement to American Fan and RXinw.
