Two episodes of The Rebound have aired— can anyone tell me if I should start watching or can it wait until it’s done airing ? (basically how much are you enjoying it?)

If you want to see Meen topless for most of the episode then its worth it haha as for Ping ya I’m still struggling with his  acting but that’s just me I’m still going to try and give it three episodes  .

I have to say it is quite annoying- once again I had to unsubscribe and resubscribe in order to get my notifications today

Yeah, I have to click on past notifications from like 4 days ago to get on the forum, and then try and catch up on the new messages 

It's a real issue now TT

 American Fan:

Yay, I missed you!! I don't have any notifications. I guess they got traded for emoji's. ?‍?

ETA: nope, the emoji's come and then they go.

Haha, missed you too XD 

Honestly, I'd rather they fixed the notifications thing instead of the emojis cuz this is starting to really piss me off lol

 RiqueXinw:

Oh there you are.

Welcome back ?

Thx

(I'm guessing the question mark was an emoji...?)

I'm gonna start it soon (probably watch the first ep today and then the next ep tmrw) cuz I was planning to watch it while airing anyways (although I'm not very excited or hyped about this series- we'll see how it goes)

Day 27 of June Challenge: BL Bestie...suggest a drama for a first time watcher

Completely agree with all the ones mentioned so far, especially Cherry Magic TH, Semantic Error, Cutie Pie and Bad Buddy

I think I'd rec Love In The Air (since it was my first BL drama and it's literally the whole reason I'm here rn) cuz the series just has everything

Classic yet enjoyable plot, hot spicy scene, sweet emotional scenes, hot n spicy couples, guys on bikes (HUGE plus) and HEA 

Also, it's BossNoeul and FortPeat so yeah

And I loved how the weather forecast thing kinda tied in with eh story, that was really creative

KinnPorsche and HIStory 3: Trapped r also good recs, cuz of the enemies-to-lovers trope (my fav)

I just got my first notification in four days - spontaneously, i.e. I haven't bothered to unsubscribe and resubscribe or anything like that. Fingers crossed.

 axdxex:
I guess the winner shall be Bad Buddy. 

It's hard to recommend without knowing the person's tastes and preferences, but "Bad  Buddy" has broad appeal and is so good in terms of story, acting, cuteness, sex appeal, everything, plus also neither too fluffy nor too heavy - so yeah, that's a safe choice. But the others you all have mentioned are also great choices.

 Simi_Tutu:
How in the world did I miss this one ??? I'm a sucker for cute ones!

For me, "Takara-kun to Amagi-kun" is the cutest BL ever - and also quite funny at times. If you love it even half as much as me, you will be a happy camper.

I decided to start it. There's lots I can criticise, but it's watchable. Lots of eye candy. *slobber slobber*

I am getting notifications again; hopefully I will continue to get them.

Yes it was.

Same, waiting on reviews.  I am ignoring it for now. Truth be told I will probably never watch it if it goes down the path I have come to expect it.

Here is a little insight into their story:

P.S still getting notifications :)

I'd like to join

Welcome to the club. If you are new to BLs then Welcome to heaven!

guys on bikes (HUGE plus)

I see we are consistent lol

that's definitely a point for The Rebound--

 OnyxTheHedgehog:

Yeah, that's how I feel about it too.  There's too many dramas coming up that I do have plans to watch in real time, so this probably won't make it on there...

June Challenge- Day 27 - BL Bestie...Suggest a drama for a first time watcher

One's first BL should be special like a right of passage. Oh so many choices,I want to go with something short and simple but then I want it to leave a great impression. I will go with I Told Sunset about You; even though it is not simple. I think there is something symbolic about the characters going through self discovery  and the watcher discovering something new as well. I think this is a great first watch to have. The story is well crafted and produced, and also the emotional impact it has is significant.

About NOTIFICATIONS:

Admin posted the following in response to my inquiry about notices.

"The notification will only notify you once. It will not update or notify you about the other 15 posts. Since you haven't seen the first notification, there is no reason to notify you 15 more times. This will help us keep costs down and prevent email spam."

I got one notification today for this thread (first one in about 2 days), but when I click on  it I have to go back however many posts/pages to get to where I left off. 

I don't know when the notification gets triggered to be sent, since I didn't receive the notice until almost the last post by Onyx 3 hours ago. But there were posts from 7 hours ago with no notice going out. Weird. Anyways...whatever right?

Just a heads up.

As in you haven't seen it yet? I'm also a cutie series fan. I hope you like it!!

I have the BL thread link on my pfp where the BL Drama Club banner image is. I've linked it together. Same for the Soundtrack Lovers Club & the Historical Drama Club. 

So I can  just go there and click on my banners!

I didn't know "I Hear the Sunspot" was on IQ ??? I'm totally going to start that one because it just doesn't feel right when I don't have a Japanese drama in weekly rotation  ?
