Started to watch The On1y One and I see why it’s so loved by the majority.

YAAAYYYYY!

 American Fan:

I'm watching a drama with subs only for talking but not for written notes or other text, which is so annoying!! So I paused the drama with the text on the screen and used Google Lens and it worked.

I don't know why I didn't think of it a long time ago! 

OMG that is my biggest pet peeve. Especially when they focus on it for a bit so you KNOW it says something important/contributing to what's gonna happen next. Unfortunately I watch on my comp so I don't think that's an option for me. Imma just msg you and ask you what's being said from now on...lol. *nods lots*

 DramaNomNom:

LMAO I've had to do that before it's so tedious....like yes please include the texts, emails, notes in the subs! I need to know who said what to who.

IKR?!

I Saw You In My Dream - episode 9

You guys have no idea the level of self restraint I am currently exercising to write this review. Everybody was horny this episode and that resulted in me being edged mercilessly without much release. Lord have mercy.

I had to pause at times to get my virgin self under control. Let me not say anything further. I am keeping the CSO at bay tonight. 

Let me just say that this episode was swoon worthy and the way Ai's parents found out about the relationship was just hilarious to me lol.

P.S did anyone else think of the Sunset x Vibes NC scene when they went on the double paint date. That is when my thoughts really went dirty but I will save you the details of that lol.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You have NO idea how hard it was for me not to say something to you about this. And yes I got PTSD from that scene. LMAO!

The On1y One - episode 7

Beautiful episode as usual.

My only concern now is how their relationship will be received later on by their family. I have a feeling that romantic development will take place on that dorm with them living together away from their parents.

True enough. You can consider it and all you get to watch this weekend, a reward for all your hard work...lol. 

Lol watching something during the weekend is the only thing motivating me to get through this week

LOL! I so am not a skipper unless it's a rewatch and I'm skipping over the parts I wasn't interested in seeing again. I have found that skipping makes you sometimes miss important parts like in '4 minutes' for example. If you skipped anything, you would no doubt get lost and confused about what's going on cuz there is tons of little details and nuances in every part of an epi that are important to the story and what's happening. Same with dropping shows cuz there's been shows I didn't like much at the beginning that ended up being pretty good, so I'm always afraid I'll miss something good if I do either of those...LOL

Omg same! U like read my mind lol

You have a big PTW list, including a number of really good BLs. I would suggest sorting your PTW list by average MDL rating, then pick something near the top that appeals to you. Anything with an average MDL rating over 8 is usually a safe bet.

I do have a very long PTW list ╥﹏╥ I’m doing sunset x vibes rn, I might try to work through it and get it shorter

I hate when that happens ˁ⁽͑˙˚̀ˆ̇˚́˙⁾̉ˀ I’m watching sunset x vibes on iqiyi and they don’t have subtitles for inner monologues/thoughts, or when characters speak french/other languages so I just kind of sit there and wait

I would give specific recommendations, but you have so many really great BLs on your PTW list that I hardly know where to start.

Although I virtually never "skip" when watching something for the first time (and also almost never drop unless something is truly unwatchable), I do make liberal use of 2X speed (if available on the app) when things are dragging, so I can get through faster without missing any story.

Ep. 5 of "Addicted Heroin": I'm lovin' this series more and more, and considerably more than I had expected as a remake. Although I've not yet seen the original "Addicted", "Stay With Me" is a masterpiece which sets an impossible benchmark - so it helps that this Thai adaptation is quite different, especially the side couple (Only/Kitty), who are not only adorably cute but also really funny at times. In other words, I'm enjoying this series in its own right and not even thinking about it as a remake. I'm also feeling increasingly invested in the main couple, and I increasingly think August and Mac were very good casting choices; Hero and Pop even feel closely matched in age, despite the age difference in the actors.

Final episode of "Sunspot": I'm still thinking about this. I loved the series in general, not only because of the interesting protagonists with their unique characters (plus Kohei is such a cutie!) but also because I can personally relate to the hearing issue - not that mine is anywhere near as bad as Kohei, but I know this feeling of nodding and pretending to understand people when I often don't, especially with background noise. However, what do I think of this as a BL, especially yesterday's final episode? Hmmm, not sure. Opinions?

Looking forward to today's episode of "Monster Next Door" in a few hours. I assume it will be more lightweight fluffy feel-good cuteness, which is totally fine with me. Fluff fluff.

RE: I Hear the Sunspot  When Taichi ran away from Kohei at the festival, then was asking himself why he was only realizing his feelings now when all Kohei wanted from him was friendship. I had a visceral reaction to that scene. I thought it was really well done. I think the only thing I would change is for Taichi to initiate a kiss. All their kisses were initiated by Kohei. Even a cheek kiss would be fine with me because that hug felt more like friends rather than boyfriends to me.
