BL Drama Lovers Club

 American Fan:

I'm not watching another ep of Lovesick until someone spoils the ending, PLEEEEEZE!!!

HEA? OPEN? SE?

HEA <3

 axdxex:

That's exactly how I feel about that last ep--

Oh…am I the only one who enjoyed the last ep the most? Lol 

I was originally planning to rate it a 6 but after the last ep I decided on a 7 cuz I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would (although of course the remake as a whole has countless flaws and whatnot)

am I the only one who enjoyed the last ep the most?

I was also very disappointed by the finale, but if you enjoyed it, that's great. Smile!

As we reach year end, we can reflect back upon 2024 and enjoy re-thinking about our favourite BLs and especially some of our favourite moments and heartthrob actors. While there were a couple of truly awful train wrecks during the year, these were thankfully few, and we can be grateful to have had so many good or even superb BLs to choose from.

Here are my own picks and pans, based on year ("2024") as listed in MDL, and including only series which have completed airing. Some notable "still airing" BLs are listed separately.

Needless to say, this list is limited to BLs that I have personally watched. I recognise that there are some excellent titles that are still in my PTW queue.

THAILAND
My personal top picks of 2024:
1. "Century of Love" (MDL average rating 8.4)
2. "LoveSick 2024" (MDL 8.1)
3. "Only Boo!" (MDL 8.4)
4. "We Are" (MDL 8.1)
Honorable mentions for dubious remakes which are nevertheless pretty good on their own merits:
"My Love Mix-Up!"(MDL 7.9)
"Addicted Heroin" (MDL 7.4 - uncut ver.) - underrated! grrr!
Special mention for "Best Reality Show":
"DMD Friendship the Reality, It Takes Two" (MDL 7.9)

Still airing but very likely to be among my future top picks:
"ThamePo: Heart That Skips a Beat" (MDL 8.4)

"Perfect 10 Liners" (MDL 8.3)
"Fourever You" (MDL 8.0)
"Caged Again" (MDL 8.0)

 RXinw:

You mean to tell me that such FINE specimen were being presented on screen and NO ONE is posting screenshots

It's a pretty nice story, too. Just sayin'.

 angeliviki2022:

HEA <3

THX  <3

 RXinw:

I claim both and if somebody has already claimed them well get ready to share!

I'll have you know that before the VERY FIRST EP even finished I was here crushing on Shao Peng. 

 RXinw:

See Your Love - episodes 1 - 2

I am ashamed of you guys, utterly disappointed. You mean to tell me that such FINE specimen were being presented on screen and NO ONE is posting screenshots RELIGIOUSLY!

When Shao Peng and Feng Jie are on the screen at the same time I have trouble trying to focus on just one of them. Both are posing a risk to my clean mind! 

I claim both and if somebody has already claimed them well get ready to share!

To be FAIR only @angeliviki (i was you, right?) and I were watching it for the longest time so I didn’t want to spam you all lol
