Battle of The Writers ep 2

It’s so obvious that Ob-Aun and Shun like each other lol, they’re not even trying to hide it atp

Also, I love the second couple, that ‘Puppy’ on Pie’s phone when Ozone called him was so cute 

And that kiss at the beginning of the ep was hot, I like YimTutor more than TutorYim now lol XD

Battle of the Writers Ep2

Random thoughts~

• Ok. Starting of with a kiss.
• Is that a stalker I see ?
• Shan is hardcore, like he's chasing hard : give me all your socials, you are mine
• The roommate and the BF are such ah omg-- (btw random but they gave "we are a cp" vibe so I looked them up and they are from Playyboy so that makes sense)
• Here comes Shan, like : I have room, live with me
• Everything in this show is sooooo convenient lmao, like why do the lights keeps shutting off (this place looks too expensive for that), why is everything sucky happening to Ob-Aun at once basically forcing him to live with Shan, did the plagiarism controversy just disappear???
• I'm going to suspend disbelief and choose to believe fate is pulling them together, because they are SOULMATES from a previous life
• Ozone & Pie are going to be IT-- 

In summary~

• How do I say this... this episode definitely feels contrived (maybe it's on purpose?)... but I'm still having a good time so let's see how next week goes. 

 axdxex:

I'm waiting to get off work so that I can watch it! This is Dunk's first lead out on his own, so (as his fan) I can't not watch. I'm just super excited that he gets to act more and gain experience. When I watch it, I'll post my thoughts on the Friends Feed if you want to discuss the show over there ^^

Dunk’s acting has improved so much srsly 

This series is amazing, I’m enjoying it a lot, I’m sure you’ll love it! 

Where is the Friends Feed?

 axdxex:

It's been a day, but my mind is still here.

Ahh, such a good scene! I can’t get over that dreamy gaze from Jane TT

 axdxex:

Just go to Feeds, and then select the Friends tab. You can post there and only your friends can see.

Wow I never knew that despite being on MDL for 7 months now (I just realised I joined exactly 7 months ago on 5th January lol) 

What else I am missing ? :0

Dark Blue Kiss ep 3

Ahh Kao, for god’s sake, stop making promises u can’t keep :( 

Also, Sun and Mork r so cute together, I love them

I really wish Kao would just tell Pete that he’s still teaching Non but also explain his circumstances and somehow make Pete understand his struggles

I’m really dreading PeteKao’s fight TT 

Is it soon? How bad is the fight? 

 Simi_Tutu:

I'm mesmerized by HYE's attractiveness. He fits my ideal type with his tattoos, earrings, and voice—he's flawless.

He's pretty cool! I love his voice.

 OnyxTheHedgehog:

And Summer Night too-

What is this? Did I miss sm?

ETA: Ok, I figured it out! Duh.  Short memory over here.

I'm always behind on this.

Bottom tags: Unhappy ending, Cheating, Miscommunication, Death (unless there's reincarnation)

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

For Rewatch: Must be memorable. I often forget major points of things shortly after watching, but when I can think back and have solid memories (such as for Unknown, Bad Buddy, Between Us, Not Me), it's a solid rewatch. Some kind of emotional reaction tends to also add it to that rewatch list.

Essentials: So for me there has to be a solid story/plot and well-formed characters. If that is lacking, then the acting can sometimes win me over, but it is difficult. Chemistry is a must-have, and I often prefer some level of intimacy, though I have enjoyed some BLs with minimal. Since BLs are essentially romantic connections most often, I just want to feel that and experience it. And lastly, the lack of tropes that make me want to bang my head on things is important.

 OnyxTheHedgehog:

I just watched Summer Night ep 1 and I know it’s not BL but the bromance between DunkPhuwin is KILLING ME 

I mean, it just feels more like a BL than a straight love and I can’t help but ship WhiteLune so much TT

Also, Dunk is freaking handsome <3 

(Is anyone else watching this?)

It's high on my list to start watching. I just need to catch up on my shows from the last two weeks.
