BL Drama Lovers Club

How do you join??

Day 26 Challenge: "BL drama that made you cry buckets"

I refuse to answer this question on grounds of self-incrimination. (Yeah, I know that girls are the majority in this group, but I'm a blokey guy, so I can't publicly admit how much I cry when watching a really good love story, or anything involving death or serious illness of a loved one.)

RE: Unknown I think it started as soon as Yuan left to study abroad. We see Qian missing him, cleaning his room, reminiscing.

Yes, I could see that to an extent as well. I guess from the time Yuan actually returned and up to the fishing trip, Qian kept a pretty good front of not seeming to warm up, so when he finally accepted Yuan it felt fast cuz they went straight to intimacy immediately.

That was Sam Lin who was one of the leads in We Best Love: No. 1 For You.  I liked his longer hair.

Oh wow, I didn't recognize the doctor as one of the MLs of We Best Love! That was a great series, but feels so long ago.  

 American Fan:

I'm actually not very good at keeping track of what's coming up and when. Another reason why I really like this "club", it helps with news of current BL drama happenings. I make a lot of notes.  :-)

Yes, I understand. I appreciate all the updates and news here, too. I wouldn't know what would happen otherwise. I still have a lot to discover and learn from the BL drama world. :D 

I set bookmarks and have an Excel list (which, however is not properly maintained). O.o 

I also collect screenshots on my smartphone. When I think about it, I urgently need to clean up the bookmarks and screenshots, haha, lol. It will take me years to tidy it up. 

For book publications I make a calendar entry. This gives me an overview of wether something interesting is about to be published. I like the anticipation. 

 American Fan:

I usually go with the flow each day and watch whatever I feel like at any given time.

That sounds great. 

I think I'm having trouble deciding what to watch next because I'm worried I might not like it. But it's important to me that there is a good drama (book etc. ) that I can come back to and watch when I've had a bad day. I think, I'm just worrying too much, lol.

 American Fan:

That was a long answer.

I loved it. Thank you. :-*

I like this

As to individual recommendations, for me it depends very much upon who the "somebody" is. For example, I tend to prefer cute, fluffy and feel-good BLs with a sweet love story, and I'm usually not so keen on action or thrillers.

and that

 p43425:

So for me, it's important to learn who in this group has similar tastes and preferences, so that when I get hear a recommendation, I know right away if it's likely to click with me.

... very much. You have described it wonderfully. I never explicitly thought about it or was aware of it. But you're totally right and you've explained it analytically well and you've summed it up very well. Thanks for that! That was instructive for me. :-)

And I apologize for not answering in chronological order, sorry. 

Watching Word of Honor and I'm so looking forward to the next episodes! I've seen The Untamed already and I think Word of Honor is even better when it comes to the bromance aspect of things.

If you happen to pick a dud, it's only a click away from disappearing. And another click to try a new drama. Simple! 

You make the rules :-)

I loved the story of The Untamed

I did too. It really kept my interest at a high level throughout, but I did have to skip the worst of the graphic scenes.  I didn't think I would like it as much as I did, so I put it off for years!
