More proof that I am not American Fan's alt account or clone:
(1) I almost automatically love JBLs, American Fan rarely.
(2) I almost never drop anything unless it's truly an abomination.
(3) I have low standards, especially where cuties are involved.

Not you compiling evidence lol

Just posted.

eeeep just read-- I guess I'll wait for the last episode

Gameboys season 1 - Episodes 1 - 8

Yes I have been watching in secret lol. 

Okay seriously, I love how they framed an entire series in a virtual context to fit the time line of the pandemic. Cai's father's death due to covid was very real in how they portrayed it and the actor playing Cai hit me he the feels when he broke down and cry; it just felt real especially with this situation being the reality for so many. I will not go into it as the pandemic period is a very sensitive topic for so many.

I am fully enjoying this series. Here are some screenshots:

Day 4 August Challenge: What are your favourite drama tags? Least favourite? Share why if you like.

Based on my stats, the top 7 favorite tags are:

• Friendship
• Happy Ending
• Death (I like series with mystery and stuff, so don't get me wrong lmao
• Idol Actor
• Nice Male Lead
• High School
• LGBTQ+

The least favorite would probably be:

• Bullying
• Cohabitation
• Cheating
• Betrayal
• Love Triangle
• Graphic Violence
• Open Ending

Day 5. What is essential for a drama to be worth your time to watch? Or re-watch... over & over, lol.

This probably boils down to: insane chemistry between the leads. It also has to be GL or BL or else it won't get a re-watch. For example, I won't re-watch Alice in Borderland because I don't want to see that level of carnage anymore (unless it's for season 3).

I have a huge ptw list (over 850 titles) and most of them are GL or BL. Some of them are straight dramas (mostly kdramas) that came highly recommended by people and some are dramas with my favorite actors and actresses.

All in all, what I watch depends on my current mood and interests. If I happen to like a drama enough to re-watch it (even once or over and over), that means that drama's special in some way. So far, only a few dramas and movies have caught my interest enough to re-watch them over and over. I have them in a list on my profile. They are BL or GL series (only one GL so far, that's because I watched more BL series up until a few months ago). I'm tempted to add other GL series to it as well, but so far none have caught my interest enough for a re-watch.

As someone who rarely re-watches media, it's difficult for me to make this list and keep it updated too. If I haven't re-watched something in a while, that means it has lost it's charm for me and I must look for a replacement. Even so, these series find me unexpectedly and are very different from one another too. 

Essential for a drama to be worth my time to watch: interesting plot, no weird tags, nice acting. I'd say since I can't evaluate these things unless I see a couple episodes of a drama, that what attracts me towards a drama is the cover photo and tags. I rarely look at synopsis on MDL or elsewhere tbh.

Esential for a drama to be worth my time to re-watch (over & over): that depends on whether I gave it a 10 or not (though 2 of the series on my list are 9s lol). Usually I don't give out 10s easily, but at the same time, there are 10s in my list I will most likely never re-watch. Watched once, liked it and then never got into it ever again. I don't know why, it's just with re-watching there's a certain feeling like I'm wasting my time as I already know everything this series has to offer, you know?

The list I linked to above could change as time passes. Maybe I won't like those series very much or at all as I re-watch them multiple times. I guess what it takes for a series/movie to be re-watchable multiple times by me is for it to be really short. I think Utsukushii Kare and The Novelist aren't really that short and might be removed in the future from my list. /shrugs

I see that Netflix now has yesterday's "Reunion" of "The Boyfriend" with good subtitles:

Thank you I've been trying to find it since it's on social media

⤷ Username/Profile Picture

My username is Simi Tutu, a mix of my nickname and my love of fashion. Simi originates from my favorite book series, The Dark-Hunters by Sherrilyn McQueen. She serves as the guardian demon of an 11,000-year-old God. She enjoys dressing in gothic attire, has a fondness for watching QVC, and is often seen carrying a bottle of barbecue sauce for dipping, especially after dealing with her enemies, individuals who threaten her loved ones. Due to her slow aging process, Simi possesses a childlike mindset despite being thousands of years old.

During middle school, my friends started calling me Simi, which has since become my preferred name. I chose it because it was my nickname. After all, numerous employees shared my real name. It's amusing how many unintentional emails I receive that aren't meant for me. Haha

The word "Tutu" signifies my fondness for fashion, specifically the use of tutus during my middle and high school years, when I used to follow the Scene fashion trend. During my early 20s, my style leaned towards CyberGoth, and currently, in my 30s, it's a fusion of Fetish CyberGoth and 80s Deathrock Fashion. I'm in the process of growing out my Deathhawk. It has been quite an interesting hair journey, LOL! And yes, I still have my tutus!

 My profile gif is of HYE, the lead singer of the Bangkok-based rock band Paper Planes. All of their songs are great, but I believe most of you are familiar with the track "Bad Boy," featured in the drama Last Twilight and performed by Mhok and Day in the car. The specific gif is of his live performance on January 4 on the Thai music program "T-Pop Stage Show," which airs every Saturday.

I'm mesmerized by HYE's attractiveness. He fits my ideal type with his tattoos, earrings, and voice—he's flawless. Every time I see him, I can't help but smile. He also has an endearing husky named Charlie, and watching them play together is adorable.

Out of context,  I love how this man screams. Take that how you will
