"Drama Shower" (ドラマシャワー) was an MBS time slot specialized in BL drama productions. The project was launched in April 2022 and it was originally a one-year limited project, but due to its success and popularity, MBS decided to renew it for another year. In March 2024 it was announced that My Strawberry Film would be the last installment of the time slot and that, as of April 2024, Drama Shower would be replaced by a new time slot called "Drama Fill". Drama Fill is a more generic time slot that includes non-BL series, as well (the first installment of Drama Fill is in fact the non-BL psychological thriller Ubawareta Bokutachi).

Drama Shower was a collaboration between MBS — the same broadcasting company as My Beautiful Man — and Tunku (トゥンク) — a new drama label established by KADOKAWA, which has many hit BL manga and novels under its belt. In Japanese "tunku" is an onomatopoeic word that suggests the sound of a pounding heart. The hope is that these BLs will take their viewers on an exciting journey, making their hearts beat.

Announcement: as of April 2024, Drama Shower will be replaced by a new time slot called "Drama Fill". Drama Fill will be a more generic time slot that will air all kinds of dramas, not only BLs (the first installment will in fact be the non-BL psychological thriller Ubawareta Bokutachi). In other words, My Strawberry Film will be the last Drama Shower show. 

I'd like to thank anyone who passed by and commented under my threads and to all those who read them and referred to them. Drama Shower was a fun ride.

Omg, thank you so much! I'm so glad to know my posts were helpful! :3

Yeah, it is indeed a pity, but hopefully they'll still air some BLs in that time slot from time to time.
