BL Drama Lovers Club

 MeNotYou:

Yaaaayyyy! *Doin' the Snoopy Dance* We can rewatch together! LOL!

So you re-watching can mean we are both re-watching; me vicariously through you, being twins and all. Makes sense lol.

On a different note, I came across this Chinese gay film from 1996 with a very interesting story surrounding its release which is told on the description page; it is called East Palace, West Palace. I thought I would share with the group.

 MeNotYou:

Definitely a prequel and a damn good show, but it's definitely on the heavier side

(re "Time of Fever") Thanks. My usual comfort zone is cute 'n fluffy feel-good, but when I'm in the right mood, I can go for heavy - so both are now in my (enormous) PTW queue.

 DramaNomNom:

I was surprised to get a side couple in a JBL

(re "Cherry Magic" Japanese original) Good point which I'd not really thought about before. I'm trying to think of another JBL with a side couple. Other than Aoki and Hashimoto in "Kieta Hatsukoi" (who I totally loved, but they're boy-girl so probably not really what we're talking about here), I can only think of one other: Shuu and the adorably cute Asuka in "Minato Season 2".

 axdxex:

There might not have been kisses and the lot, but there was longing and pining, and if done right, it can be just as good.

(re "Sunspot") In general, I feel the same way - but even at that, I still felt that the final episode lacked the satisfying resolution that I wanted ...

 axdxex:

To be fair, this show is very very faithful to the manga, and the confession scene at the end, doesn't have a kiss in the manga.

... and although my "satisfying resolution" doesn't necessarily have to involve a kiss, this largely explains why. Thanks!

 MeNotYou:

I can't WAIT for you to watch it and tell me how you liked it. It really is so freaking well done as to be expected from a Korean production and imho, it has broken all kinds of barriers and has paved the way for a new era in KBLs.

Korea loves their melodrama lol

No Regrets to this day, is still one of my favourite BL films. It blew me out of the water when I first seen it. It's why I had an inner feeling that S.K Bl's were going to land on my top spot lol

Funny, because I saved this one recently to my watchlist, I cant remember if it was viki or iqyi but I do remember thinking, this sounds fun, I'll watch that later LOL

ULS is your favourite or the newer TOF? 

 OnyxTheHedgehog:

Um….i don’t actually know lol 

Oh.....ooops 

MeNotYou Give it a whirl, but keep in mind it takes something like 3 weeks or so to form a new habit, so you might have to try it more than once for it to work for you 

That’s a good point and I’ll keep that in mind if I do try it 

And yes, it's usually from the same or previous project, but not always. Sometimes people would love to see two of their faves paired together just because or because they think they'd make a great pairing on a show, especially if they're close friends irl. 

It makes sense that they’d typically be from the same project. It’s easier for us to see two people/characters interact and if they have chemistry when they work course with each other, so when a ghostship is two friends irl that makes sense to me too

 Plutoluv:

omg omg I see discourse about The on1y one!! How are yall liking it so far? There will be a season 2 right? I cant see all this wrapping up in a few episodes....since...well....we haven't really explored The romance themes fully yet lol. 

It would depend on how popular Season 1 one. If the production team sees a lot of engagement on their official sites and views on official sites, they can probably get funding for Season 2.
