BL Drama Lovers Club

 American Fan:

Is anyone still watching this series and what do you think so far?

I am loving it so far. Wee did get on my nerves though with, well let me not spoil it.

 RXinw:

Having read the answers so far, in the words of Blanche from Golden Girls, I am stunned, just stunned, stunned does not even begin to describe just how...stunned I am. I thought for sure I would come here and see a certain BL as an almost unanimous pick, that I would just need to quote someone. I have only seen about two people so far who have picked or mentioned it.

I'm sorry, I guess? lol but I'll add Unknown to ptw list lol 

 p43425:

In addition to the "country mouse" types, I also have a special place in my heart for the "pure boy" types (

I like those types too, just not the J-version so much. 

My experience with iQ hadn't been so great when I had a sub. Couldn't figure out if it was me (operator error) or cuz I'm in the states, but I couldn't get english subs for some of the shows that stated they had subs. I finally had enough when they auto charged me even though I clearly had my setting on NOT auto subscribing monthly. I never sign up for auto charges with anyone, unless I'm forced into it and I have to have the service.  Not willing to give them another chance anytime soon.

It's on my PTW list but I haven't gotten to it because I know I'm going to cry lol

RE: Unknown - I actually did cry a tear or two, in the very beginning, but after that it's not too bad overall in the crying dept. I think...if remember right... 

I'm dragging my feet on answering today's question, however I made a list of nominees for best BL and Unknown is on it.

This is one of several reasons that I use individual virtual credit card numbers unless I have full confidence in the provider: I can just kill the number. No charge possible.

Re: Addicted Heroin the series Thai remake

I love the story shown in the trailer and I look forward to watching it but this is not Addicted Heroin. This seems like a loosely based series off it, like inspired by it. It seems to have lost its authenticity as if it has been Thailandised (is that even a word). For example with Cherry Magic the remake was done so well because the original story shined through while it still possessed some Thai uniqueness. However based on the Addicted trailer it seems as if they just threw in some well known scenes from the book. If they had not claimed it being an adaptation I would love the story I just saw in the trailer. Having read more than half of book 1 and watched the original and based on the reviews of the bromance version (this may sound biased) it is not the same thing to remake a J-BL and a Chinese BL. To me when it comes to BL China has superior writing, it is complex, intriguing, unique and nuanced. I highly doubt that Thailand will be able to remake any Chinese BL and get it just right at least to me; very biased, I know. Anyways I will be watching because what I saw on screen is a BL I would love as its own individual story separate from the original work they are claiming to have remade. 

Finished EP 1 of Manner of Death today! It's been on my ptw for so long, so we'll see how this goes. This is my 1st show with Max and Tul. Have to say that I can't stop looking at Max though.. He's sooo gorgeous!!!
