autumn iris

Make sense. But still, (I just check it) it's 24 episodes x 45 minutes which means 18 hours in total. I won't take that risk.

Oh, Elvira was very good in Fake It Till You Make It. But I don't know, iirc Touch Me Like You Lied's trailer seemed to hint that the plot is thin as they're too into skinship. I could remember it wrong.

Talking about adult drama, maybe The Story Untold? I love Jin Chen in romance drama (though I don't watch that many romance drama).

I think Irreplaceable will air first. It's been too long.

S2 kinda lost its magic though. I'm currently watching J-anime Though I am an Inept Villainess and it's so good.

I think I like human drama, like yeah Meet Yourself (that's why I watched it). The last 3 Chinese dramas I rated 10/10 were Fake It Till You Make It, Northward and Beloved.

I dropped Mystic Nine (2026) and Meet Yourself. Actually Meet Yourself made me fell asleep. While Mystic Nine was confusing and different (for me) when compared to the prequel. Love the leads of both dramas though.

Born with Luck was such a funny drama.
The cast for Remnants of Gold looks solid. Will consider watching it. Thanks for the recommendation.

Forging Justice with Huang Jing Yu has aired its all episodes this month. It's quite a devastating era though. Wang Yi Bo has no upcoming drama but he already signed for another 3 republican movies according to rumor. Not sure if they'll be filmed any time soon. Xiao Zhan has 3 upcoming dramas. I think Xiao Cheng Liang Fang will air first. Chen Xiao has many dramas (oops, I don't follow him that much, maybe like 5?), I hope Yin Man Zhi Shi will air first.

Dropped Zhan Zhao Adventures and Love for You. Not for me. Watch the first ep of How Dare You!? Not for me. Watch the first ep of Swords into Plowshares, will continue it later. But I heard The Road to Splendor, Road to Success and Love Story in the 1970s were decent. Just not for me.

For 2026 C-dramas so far I only completed The Heir, Born with Luck and Forging Justice + some BLs.

Ptw The Awake (currently airing) and Unsettled Case, The Lead, No Pain No Gain and Swords into Plowshares.

The target audience is different. GMM TV/25 is for young viewers so many of them are BL, GL, bromance and youth romance and having young actors. One 31/OneD is for adult (eh it sounds wrong) yeah pretty much like that.
https://mydramalist.com/list/3kPDQv04 (2026 GMMTV lineup)
Though with You Maniac with 10 episodes length take Sat line up on 29 August, If Scarlet Heart Thailand to air on Saturday, it would be in October.

Maybe because the topic is quite heavy?

Isn't Scarlet Heart Thailand part of GMM TV/GMM 25 year 2025 and later year 2026 project? Shouldn't be airing on One 31.

rumored to air on 24 or 26 Aug, hopefully true

That's the point of the whole series. A melodrama. If the characters setting is different, it won't be this heartwrenching. The lack of communication between them is the main conflict of this drama, the thing that creates the whole story.

Love how decisive Xiaofan is. Good job!

It's because of different status between them. Luqing feels it's enough to let Xiaofan being in his comfort zone as Luqing can do everything else without Xiaofan's knowledge, while Xiaofan is in difficult situation where's he becomes either everyone's punchbag or pion (+ initially he thinks he's paying Bei family through Luqing with sex for favor).

Ahaha, yes. I hope she reflect and shed some of her pride before coming back if a comeback is possible.

I think maybe some of them still think it's fabricated. But if it was fabricated, she or her agency should quickly deny it. So I think the recording was real.

Duang with You and Me and Thee sell sweet fluffy slow-burn romance. Khemjira sells horror, not so universal genre for BL. But it bounds for success?
I completed Me and Thee and Khemjira and the acting are fine (I may be biased since I like Phuwin Tangsakyuen and Keng Harit), the production are great, and I think there's no plot hole as far as I remember. I dropped Duang with You but it should also be a good drama, with little to no plot, just sweets. Depth, definitely none.

To each their own but I think Ticket to Heaven is overrated, I mean it's from Aof's fiancee, soon-to-be groom's real life experience but still it's a bit lacking, I'm trying hard to finish it in 2x speed for the last 2 eps (with last episode's length equal to 2 times previous episode's length, ouch).

Bad Buddy is awesome (love unrequited love and enemies-to-lovers trope, so tragic yet beautiful), so is Last Twilight (they teach each other love and boundary).
180 Degree Longitudes Passes through Us, To Sir, with Love and Paradise of Thorns are must-watch(es). It let viewers see from the different perspective, the victim's perspective.

Try Duang with You and Top Form but I can't get past episode 1. Never try Perfect 10 Liner as it has too many couples (4?).

High School Frenemy is bromance not BL.
Dropped Wu but it's not BL (the 1st episode was so boring but a friend said
episode 3 was where it became interesting). Dodge Mr. Kill but it's not BL.
