In dramas, I prefer freshness, a touch of emotion, a light and gentle atmosphere, a love story that develops beautifully and slowly, or sweet, playful banter (mischievous quarreling). Watching these makes me feel like a floral spring breeze has touched me, or like the first touch of rain after a season. However, sometimes I watch a few revenge or different-styled dramas if they catch my attention, or sometimes I watch them for a favorite actor. But I absolutely cannot watch anything too horrific. But it's okay, in the future, if I suggest a drama to you, I will suggest something super light.
And I'm sure you’ve noticed, I rate dramas a bit differently. I take into account things like the country of origin, the budget, the actors’ quality, and their other works when I rate a drama. However, no matter what a drama is like, if I enjoy watching it, I definitely give it a good rating. After all, I watch these dramas because they aren't made in my own country, so I try not to be too harsh. But then there are some dramas that, despite being good, I dislike so much for certain reasons that I give them a low rating.
Even though dramas like the 'Boys Over Flowers' versions are generally good, one thing I dislike is the bullies never being brought to justice. It’s like they fell deeply in love, so everything is forgiven. The fact that people’s lives are ruined because of their bullying is treated as nothing. This is why I avoid watching Korean dramas based on bullying. They often show that to survive bullying or take revenge, you must become physically strong and learn how to fight. Your classmates, teachers, school authorities, or the law—no one will help you. They just stand by and watch the spectacle.

The main characters, Pete and Kao, from the drama 'Dark Blue Kiss' actually started their story in the drama 'Kiss Me Again'. Back then, I watched the Pete-Kao clips from 'Kiss Me Again' on YouTube. Then, I think I watched 'Dark Blue Kiss'. Pete was a bit toxic at first, and then he became super possessive and jealous. The entire drama revolved around Pete's jealousy, which was enjoyable, and Kao was a cutie (I felt bad for him, the poor thing). It's a happy ending drama, so don't worry. However, there are so many different kinds of BL now, I don't know how you'll like this one. If you decide to watch it, keep in mind that this is a BL from the 2018–2019 era.

Ugh... I remember that time the BL industry was super toxic. There was that managers' clash at the time. Oh My God! But everyone was at fault then, even the actors. They weren't professional back then, many did BL for the money, and they didn't respect the LGBTQ+ community. Some even hated it. The industry has only started to become stable since the COVID-19 pandemic. Nowadays, even the 17/18 year-old actors are so professional and polite. I've only been watching BL since after COVID. Before that, I used to watch other dramas.

It was wonderful how you and your friends used to watch dramas together and stay in touch. I'm sorry to hear that you can't communicate with each other as frequently as before. However, the way we are talking now is also great, where a person replies whenever they get the time or opportunity.

Long time no see 😄
Actually I opened an MDL account towards the end of 2023. There are many dramas that I have watched but haven't rated or added to the list. I used to watch a lot of dramas, but after a while, I would have problems, like forgetting the name of a favorite drama or missing a drama starring a favorite actor. I opened the MDL account to get rid of these issues. I used to just watch the shows; I never commented or interacted with anyone. Started commenting with Khemjira, and along with that, I found friends like you. Khemjira truly knows magic. There is a song from my country, the lyrics of which are, 'My friend knows great magic.'

I have watched the 40-episode drama twice. Perhaps I will watch it again in the future, I don't know how many times. I myself have also searched a lot for dramas like 'Meet Yourself'. But I haven't found anything quite like this drama. There are good dramas, but they are of a different kind. While watching this drama, it feels as if a sweet breeze is caressing me, carrying the fragrance of various flowers, the scent of wet earth, and a cool shiver that makes me forget everything worldly for a moment.

I also enjoyed talking to you guys. And everyone has different preferences, so if you like something, that's good, but I don't think one should say anything bad or spread hate if they don't like something. It's better to talk about your own preferred dramas than to speak ill of something.
I have seen some Mainland Chinese dramas featuring Liu Dong Qin/Eric. In those, he played perhaps a second male lead or a guest role. His acting is good, but Mainland China has many actors who are both handsome and skilled. Because of this, even many good actors in China don't get opportunities in quality dramas. The fact that a Mainland Chinese actor came to Taiwan to do a BL drama was something I liked from the start. The drama turned out to be excellent, too. But I was afraid he might get banned in China, which fortunately didn't happen later. So, acting in BL dramas this way has become easier for them. However, I heard that they spent a significant amount of money on Eric, which is one of the reasons the second season didn't happen. I don't know the truth of this, but in my opinion, everyone should have tried to complete 'The On1y One' drama. If the drama had been completed, I believe it would have received an even better response than 'Revenged Love'. But what's done is done. I hope they act in even better dramas in the future, especially, I want to see Benjamin in more quality BL dramas.

"Battle of the Writers" tried something different, so it was a 10 for me.
Now now now, you started "Meet Yourself"! That's amazing. You know, the first episode was so hard for me; I cried a lot. When I watched "Khemjira" and saw Khem and Jet's friendship, I felt like they were Hong Dou and Nan Xing. Nan Xing definitely gives vibes like Jet. The only difference is that in "Meet Yourself," they were separated. Then you met our sweet "nǎi nǎi"? That sweetie is like an elaborated version of Grandma Si. You will love the local kids, like meditating Mr. Ma, Na Na, Qing Tian, You Yu, Xiao Xia, Zhi Yuan, and Candy, and everyone else. 😄 Even the animals in this series are lovely. And enjoy the songs! Every song is beautiful, even the Lullaby. Listen to the song 日日 by Chen Li, close your eyes, and you will feel like you're beside the Erhai Lake. Enjoy the drama, Happy watching! 😁

I'm glad to know that you enjoyed interacting with me.
"The On1y One" is a beautiful series. Its Chinese name is Mǒu Mǒu; in our language, the word Mou means honey or very sweet. Their romance in the series feels just like honey. They are lovely.
Nowadays, a lot of high-school kids look like adults; some even look like they're 30. So, there is no issue with their appearance as teenagers. Some people simply cannot appreciate a good thing. I didn't know these lunatics ruined the second season. I feel sad that a beautiful story remained incomplete because of this. I wish some other company would buy the story from them and make a new and complete series.
for everybody who is talking about the NC scene, I have something to say. so a lot of people were complaining…
Thai BLs get blamed for everything. For example, if a series has a good NC scene, then it's called 'p*rn.' If the NC scene is bad or average, then it's called 'the sloppiest.' And if the series doesn't have any NC scenes, then they're called 'homophobic.'
let me process it, I'll come back with replies

I'm jealous of you. You're enjoying this and getting the thrill of a first-time watching experience.
