There are currently only 6 oppperating ambulances in Gaza, and innocent people are being bombed. Children are being bombed! How do you know that and sleep soundly without caring? How do you go about your day after saying they deserve that, that anyone deserve that? And if you don't think that, if you agree it is disgusting and inhumane, then keep scouting, keep using your voice and your platform. Spread awareness and boycot the bussineses who make sthis genocied possible, send emails and letters to your elected representatives, and do what you can to help. Don't stay quiet

Initial Impression: kBL same production as Blueming (KENAZ) and it has reincarnation and curses or something? I saw a few clips on twitter about the first ep and it seems hilarious, hope it’s great bc it’s one of the few kBLs I’m acc looking forward to because of the plot and not just for Korean practice. || After ending, people have been criticizing the ending and also for its messy plot in such a short time but I’m still curious about it so I’ll give it a try (esp cuz so many of the kBLs lately have apparently been meh that I needa add this to the watchlist or else I’ll hardly get any practice done)

Overall Impression: I feel like this should be higher just because it’s got a cool concept and the cinematography’s good but I felt like maybe 1 emotion during this whole show (the hug in the car), which sucks. The writing in the show sucked, both in terms of relationship development (there was none. why were they from A to Z without B C...) and the fantasy/lore aspects. In a better show, Dongbaek’s dying wish to be the one who remembers next time coming true would be a punch to the gut but here, I don’t gaf

Initial Impression: I knew hardly anything about this but people have been loving this, esp how queer it apparently is, so I’m excited. hopefully we’ll get another really great kBL from start to finish, I think only Choco Milk Shake was thoroughly well-liked by the masses in recent months

Overall Impression: sad that I've watched worse kBLs but since I had some expectations while going into this, it's more disappointing. I don’t really care for boss/employee romances in general and i think the fact that it’s positioned as wholesome/cute here so far isn’t working for me. if you’re gonna have the boss kiss the intern out of the blue while said intern is drunk, it needs to be framed in more of a rancid way for it to still be fun; dabble more with the weird power dynamics & lean into the bad vibes lol

Rating: 6/10

Initial: this hasn’t started airing yet but I watched the trailer (lol even I do that sometimes) bc I caught a glimpse of it on twitter and honestly it seems good and fun! i like it when the seme/pursuer is younger and also like when one or both of the characters is just rancid and i think it could be interesting and engaging to watch the troublemaker grow and change. also the cinematography or something just looks appealing

Overall: Noey is such a unique character, it was a pleasure to see him on screen. I really like the familial dynamics between Noey, Nid Nhoi, and Auntie Tim/their mother. It was fun and they were always teasing each other but obviously there was love and concern beneath it. And the gang was great too, how they obeyed Noey and were a bunch of goofballs but obviously the fighting was less than ideal. The romance itself was fine, quite dragged out before they even realize their feelings, but I did often have a smile on my face while watching the eps. Great cinematography and colouring and motifs.

Initial Impression: I like the concept that they’re reporters and people seem to like the ending.

Overall Impression: Boring, overall. Which is sad because I was looking forward to watching paparazzi/reporters/glorified stalkers in a BL, since it’s a pretty unique synopsis. It started off cute enough but didn’t keep me engaged.

Status: ✅ Watched

Watch Dates: Feb 18 - 24, 2023 (#4)

Rating: 7 7.5/10 [April 4, 2023 Edit: The characters continue to give me brainrot, as well as actors, so +0.5]

Initial Impression: initially wasn’t interested in this one because everybody kept calling it a boring regular high school romance, watched the mock trailer around August 2022 and was like omg the trope of making the person you like run errands for you? (ex. True Beauty, We Best Love) + I tend to enjoy simply school shows. Then the actual show came out and everyone’s loving it 3 eps in, so that’s fun for sure.

Overall Impression: I really liked it, especially for what it was: a cute, endearing high school BL with really endearing leads and good acting and sometimes turning tropes on their head. I didn't love it or obsess over it the way some people seemed to but it was enjoyable nonetheless. I also loved so many of their faces lol Fourth and Prom my favourite beautiful faces but Gemini and Satang are beautiful too, not to mention Gun's mother whew! This made me giddy and the OSTs are great and there's clear effort from the cast and crew. I liked the dynamic between the characters, whether it be how Gun and Tinn took turns being bold and shy or the parent-child relationships or Chinzhilla band.

Status: ✅ Watched

Watch Dates: Apr 20 - 26, 2024 (#36)

Rating: 7/10

Initial Impression: there’s a lesbian character. she says the line “trust me. i’m a lesbian.” more than enough reason to watch it. That was my reason for wanting to watch it soon after discovering the OG trailer but recently, I’m excited to see Fah, the show has glowing reviews from the people watching it, and I’m very interested in the sex-related conversations they’re having

Overall Impression: A unique and enjoyable show, it was so fun to see all these characters in their specific situations and how they deal with them. The characters were all compelling, it's wild how I was into all their storylines. how charming each character/their story was, and how the story juggled them. It also made me see a bunch of actors in new lights, New most of all, as they acted in a role outside of their usual wheelhouse. I think the most frustrating part for me was how it seemed like although they were getting at it, they never quite acknowledged that what Alex did to Jean that night was rape. It made me quite angry actually, especially how Alex's actions didn't feel like it actually took Jean's feelings and trauma and requests into account. I was at least glad that in that timeline, Jean doesn't get back with Alex.

It’s in this section of the post because despite Alex being het, this show is just... queer.

Watch Via: Youtube (free)

Status: ✅ Watched

Watch Dates: Jan 1 - Feb 28, 2023 (#1)

Rating: 6.5/10

Initial Impression: I’m really looking forward to this. why? i don’t know. i guess i developed some sort of attachment to morkpi in FUTS even though I was mostly ambivalent about their relationship? also, i’m curious to watch something directed by p’jojo

Overall Impression: I actually don't care about the plot of this show that much because I was mostly there for the characters and character relationships but it didn't give me what I wanted. I don't like Ben/Chopper and Nueng/Palm felt meh toward the end and also didn't give me what I wanted really. My big problem with this show which is that nothing feels like it gets enough emotion or gravity and instead it's either fixed quickly or we move on quickly. Anyway, idk. I liked the first 2/3 of the series even though it wasn't A Fave but it had some great moments and lots of potentials to me, so that’s why it’s +.5 more than 6. I stopped caring about the characters while watching these last 4 and these last 2 episodes were just so... agh. I just care about Chopper atp and want better for him. This was one of my most anticipated shows of 2022 (which is why I started watching it weekly), so it's sad that it turned out this way.

Initial Impression: My beloveds! Hope it’s enough to tide me over until the movie is accessible. 

Overall Impression: This season is about Hira and Kiyoi's relationship. They didn't become boring after getting together, they didn't magically end up being a perfect happy well-adjusted couple after getting together, nor were there random issues thrown just because; the struggles and hurdles are true to their characters and dynamics. I liked the themes and dynamics it explored and their character + relationship development and progression. I also smiled a lot and lost my mind a little at certain moments. Strong writing, strong characters, strong acting, what a relief.

Status: ✅ Watched

Watch Dates: Mar 1 - 6, 2023 (#5)

Rating: 7/10

Initial Impression: Moonlight Chicken: I don't like reading or watching stories about cheating but this one looks so good :0 Also, suchhh a good cast like EarthMix, FourthGemini couples and also Khao and First like I’m expecting great acting and storytelling

Overall Impression: It's a good one! High quality with good acting and interesting storylines that are unique in BL. It didn't hit me as hard as it seemed to hit some other people though and I'm not thinking about it much at all since finishing. I think Jim/Wen's relationship was one of the weakest aspects of the show to me because I didn't care nor did I really feel anything and it might’ve been more interesting if it actually involved cheating. I loved Heart and Li Ming, I enjoyed getting to see Jim grow and also how his relationship with Li Ming changed, I liked getting to see Wen and Alan's flashbacks and to present tense relationship, I like Gaipa showing up once in a while to be bright, I thought Gaipa and Leng's interactions were funny, I loved Li Ming as a character so much, I wished to be him so badly.

Watch Dates: Mar 28 - 29, 2023 (#9)

Rating: 6.5/10

Initial Impression: Watched the leaked trailer from February and it seems actually angsty and enemies to lovers and I’m very curious about that

Overall Impression: I really liked the first 5 episodes when there was so much contempt but Taehyun couldn't stop himself from terrorizing or goading Da Yeol and Da Yeol couldn't stop noticing how beautiful Taehyun was, and then the friendship that bloomed in that but still with an edge. I didn't quite get the reason for separation in episode 6 and think the last episode was cutesy but out-of-character sort of. Still, overall a pretty good one; reminds me of a mix of Blueming and Utsukushii Kare. I was giddy so many times while watching this, especially the first half and was clutching my head and curling my toes despite it not being romantic, just full of tension.

Initial Impression: People seem to have really liked this, on both MDL and Reddit both, so I’m looking forward to it

Overall Impression: The pacing of this was so good, they managed to give everything needed and timed it well within 2 hours. Well written, well acted, well planned, well shot, nice. I liked and understood the main characters and even the side characters had distinct personalities despite not being fully fledged. I loved how Gi Tae and Wan were so playful with each other, whether it be with the teasing they did and playing hard to get but also the easy affection they often had whether it be kisses, pecks, tickles, hugs, hand holding, just regular romantic touching - a good balance between being strangely chaste and very raunchy. Was cute and I’m glad this is the show that I watched after not watching anything for a while but I won't think about them again, probably.

Rating: 6.5/10

Initial Impression: Need this so bad, the photos from the shooting are killing me

Overall Impression: Great, fun, though not as emotionally invested as Season 2 because they're in a better place in their relationship in this movie (even if it's not necessarily Perfect). It was interesting to have new people in their lives like Anna and Noguchi and how their stories influenced them. I'm happy with where we're leaving off the characters after ~6h of show/movie but lowest rating so far because it felt like we spent too much time on stuff like Anna’s story or the random kidnapping.

Rating: 5.5/10

Overall Impression: Not very good, it's kinda non-sensical and has terrible subs and I watched it all on 1.25x speed. However, I was deeply craving a typical university Thai BL and it gave me that with engineer students and enemies to lovers. Sonkhgram and Ai were pretty cute and their pretend enemies while both likes the other for years was endearing ig? The freshmen Pluster and Nano were also really good toward the middle-end, the little gossips and schemers. Meen and Bright were meh, it could've been more compelling. All in all, a mediocre show to watch if wanting something really tropey that requires 0 thought.

Overall Impression: It was good and cute but still somewhat nonsensical and I don't know how to feel about the mountains of trauma. Beautiful Net and James, the acting's not bad, the editing is bad though. They were cute, which is the most important thing I guess.

Initial Impression: long episodes and everybody’s been loving it and feeling every emotion under the sun for it

Overall Impression: It was interesting and I think the show had a good grasp on characters and relationship dynamics and progression. I liked that there were friendships each character had and that they existed outside of just this relationship; even some of the friends existed outside of just being a friend, like Yonnwon was a whole human. The female friends were great, Yoonwon is a treasure and I liked how Aeri was so sweet but so mean sometimes, a very clever city girl type. Also, the tension and cute moments between Jihyun and Jaewon (esp in ep 6 and 10) were great. I think it's a good show that's done well but right now, it's not taking up much brain space and it also didn't make me viscerally feel anything.

Initial Impression: Think the announcement for this happened like mid-last year or something and I’ve been curious about it since then, hope it’s great.

Overall Impression: Ah, the dynamic is so delicious. Older, colder, richer, more jaded Seoul city man and younger, cheery, puppy-like new adult. Also, ummm I liked how much Yul scolded Yechan, ah + that one time Yechan apologized by kneeling. Yechan is cute, esp his antics after the sexy dream he had about Yul, but I do think he's a bit too childish sometimes, so that's meh. Overall enjoyable but I didn't super connect with the story or the characters and likely won't be thinking about them again.

Initial Impression: just found out about its existence (apparently it came out all together on Aug 2) and saw ppl say this was another good kBL this year, hopefully it’ll be good

Overall Impression: It was... fine I guess, the plagiarism subplot had me invested because it was so frustrating (as it was meant to be) but I really didn’t care about the main couple. Their relationship and interactions did nothing for me. Also I’m shallow so either they needed to have more chemistry or needed to be more attractive to my tastes for me to enjoy watching it rip. I literally skimmed so much of Ep 4 - 7, especially skipped over the main couple interactions and watched to see the plagiarism issue get resolved.

Initial Impression: listen i know people are like krist homophobe which fair enough ig but i’m still curious from the trailer and i’ll probably give it a try || Once it’s started being released, people seem to be enjoying these beginning episodes, so I hope it’s really good all the way through.

Overall Impression: It is such a tragedy that despite looking forward to this show for so long and enjoying some aspects and moments, ultimately, it fell flat for me. I feel like a lot of this show was objectively done well like the character arcs and acting and stuff but I'm not attached to any of it. The romance didn't make me feel giddy even though I really wish it had like it's strange that I didn't care at all about all those cute moments Kawi and Pisaeng had or the established relationship montages when usually they're some of my favourite aspects of a BL. agh whatever ig at least the show didn't treat Pear terribly.

Initial Impression: I skimmed the latter half of Addicted in August 2023 and it was very unhinged and didn’t quite hold up but I understood why people were fucking obsessed with 2016 lol Looking forward to seeing a 2023 bromance version + my beloved angsty high school trope is good always

Overall Impression:  Well, this is really as close as BL you can get without saying out loud that they are dating but there are innuendos galore and it's pretty clear (there was lube on their bed, like...). The family aspect was the best, I love that we got to see Su Yu's situation so much and his blended family and the way they were always there together. You can understand why Wu Bi prefers the warmth of their home over the coldness of his, though we got to see progress on that end too. Duoduo sooo cute, little munchkin. The ending is... an ending, that's for sure. Hope we get a season 2 next year but who knows.

PJ was insufferable but like in a good way? like yesss, high school girl who says things before thinking and is an asshole! Also lesbian movies where they kill men is always fun, this time it being an actual funny comedic part. The whole movie was ridiculous and I'm glad.

Initial Impression: JamFilm new BL! Seems like it’ll have some sort of lawyer or justice type storyline, which is interesting. I’m really looking forward to it

Overall Impression: I really liked To Sir, With Love which was a lakorn and so was different than every other BL I've watched and was hoping I'd similarly love this one, which is also bringing something unique to the BL table. It started off really well for me, I thought Charn was such a fun (morally corrupt) character and was intrigued about what was going on. I liked the lesbians Maya and Rose as well ofc. However, I think toward ep 7 and 8, it kinda became very meh for me (that warehouse live stream scene not counting) because the mystery was too predictable/boring and thus had no tension, people kept making incredibly stupid decisions, and I wasn't attached to the characters enough to care/be emotional about all the wedding stuff. Nawin was a great addition in ep 7 though, so unexpected and fun. Unfortunate that the meh impression ended up being the last ones since that sticks with me more than liking it in the earlier eps.

I came around to the second and third couple even though if the show was longer or deeper, I might not have. I was bored by the last 2 eps though, so ehhh

Skimmed through this so hard, honestly shouldn't have even watched it because it didn't seem too good from my skimming. The main two characters were cute-ish in the first half of the show and the Yoon Seobin surprise cameo for 2 minutes was fun, but meh otherwise. Skimmed even the main couple scenes in the last 2 eps because random fighting and misunderstandings. Not rating it because I skimmed through like 60% of it lmfao

Overall: I'm just glad that I binged this by watching 2-3 eps a day for a week instead of watching for 3 months to arrive at that ending. Great first half of the show IMO (~6 eps), then there's a weird narrative shift there somewhere, then the last 1/4 of the show was dragging and then the last episode was boring and upsetting. SandRay and TopMew feel weirdly happy, artificially happy while Boston is the only character who is left to rot by his friends and Nick. I didn't need a happy ending for Boston/Nick but Boston's storyline felt... cruel and since the only character who wasn't monogamous got a bad ending and had all his faults amplified (while the others just had their faults or mistakes forgiven or never even apologized for them), it felt pointed at Boston's promiscuity.

Rating: 6/10

Initial Impression: I've seen it mentioned sooo many times that I thought I'd give it a try.

Overall: The thing with these crime/mafia BLs is that often they literally have no plot and this show doesn't even bother establishing anything, what even is going on? something with Zhang Teng... but the gangs and the families and the crimes are all so vague and out of sight, it's mostly just about the relationships against the backdrop. However, I really enjoyed the characters and the couples, specifically Zongyi/Ruei in the first half and Ai Di/Chen Yi in the second half. The couples also have some fun tropes that I like (age gap with the younger guy being overly eager, the ChenAi dynamic esp the part where they both manhandle each other so much) and Ai Di is a menace, which is always enjoyable. Is it enough for me to overlook how the show introduces a criminal and crime-life element but does not explain or expand on it? I don't necessarily think so, and thus the meh rating, but honestly, if I'm plagued by the couples or feel the need to rewatch certain parts, I'll increase the rating.

Rating: 5.5/10

Overall Impression: The concept is somewhat similar to Our Dating Sim, having a friendship/situationship in middle school, one character disappearing, but then meeting again a few years later. Nothing about this was egregious of anything but it just felt like Dongwook had treated Dohyun terribly and was also being way too presumptuous in the current timeline, so it didn't fully work for me. I just wanted Dohyun to beat Dongwook up lol

To Watch:

GAP (Thai - Feb 11): First high profile GL, should probably watch it, feeling especially inspired about 23.5. I'd heard mixed reviews while it was airing but feels like the general sentiment is still positive, even if people think that it's a messy/dramatic show lol. I’d actually removed it from my watchlist (see below) but it’s back lol

Rookie (Php - Aug 4): GL, a Phillipino lesbian movie, saw this tiktok and wanted to give it a try

Lucky My Love (Thai - Nov 25): GL, wanna watch it cuz it's a GL but unfortunately people don't seem too keen on it :/ oh well, I'll keep it on hand for when I'm craving a GL

Releasing

These are shows that are currently releasing in 2023 that I’m interested in - ordered by their end date. Tracking both currently watching and to be watched

Currently Watching

None

To Watch

Pit Babe, Last Twilight, The Sign, Dead Friend Forever but these are all ending in 2024

To Be Released

These are shows that have are planned for a 2023 release, may or may not have release dates (and some might get moved to 2024 lol)

From 2022 - these are rolled over from plans of being released in 2022

MeMindY: Just Say Yes, Past Love In The Future - Cautiously curious about these and I hope these are still happening since it’s rolled forward from 2022. I wanna check them out because they’re from Don’t Say No characters but also I’ll probably check out most MMY shows just to see where I land

Planned for 2023 - these were announced with the plans for 2023 release

2023 GMMTV Shows: Only Friends, Our Skyy 2, 23.5 (GL) are my 3 most anticipated. Will likely watch Last Twilight, the other BLs don’t seem that great. Also, TODO: Go through #gmmtv 2023 and tag the shows properly

BOC: ummm idk I might check out Man Suang (the MileApo movie) and 4 minutes (the BibleBuild show written by Sammon) but I also wanna avoid the KP fandom so bad

kBLs: Gonna keep an eye on all the kBLs, though might not watch a few

GLs: seems like Thai GLs and kGL webseries are starting to be released more, will keep an eye on them (ex. Be My Baby, Reverse 4 You, etc)

Wish You Luck: Sci-fi, post-apocalyptic show :00 seems cool, also has Tonnam who I’ve only seen in comedic roles so far

The Sign: or something like that, it’s not on MDL yet but it’s Idol Factory’s newest BL announcement - it’ll involve the characters in some sort of investigation unit. I like this trend of BLs in crime/justic/thriller type of stories but idk if they’ll actually deliver.

Flirt Milk the series: I don’t have much faith or curiosity about Starhunter shows but I think the “we both change ourselves to fit the other” thing is funny

Het/non-QL shows

There aren’t as many of these I’m interested in, comparatively, so I didn’t have this section last year but might as well try it this year.

Rating: 6.5/10

Initial Impression: I’ve been anticipating this since early 2022, especially because I like both Jan and Off individually as actors. Now to see them as a pair! And it seems like a cool concept from the mock trailer. Thank goodness it’s being released on Youtube at the same time as Disney+Hotstar.

Overall Impression: The acting was great, the script was comprehensible and well-paced, the production is good, featured sex work without villainizing the workers or the work itself. I loved Mote’s little fantasies of possible scenarios or of imagining an interaction in a different way (the card game with June, convo with dead Pat). I’m impressed by the creative team behind it. I won’t think about this much after today I don’t think but I liked this little show.

Watch Via: Amazon Prime :>

Status: ✅ Watched

Watch Dates: Mar 14 - 15, 2023 (#6)

Rating: 6/10

Initial Impression: I’ve started getting into thriller/horror kdramas, think I’m gonna start watching Fantasy ones as well and starting with this because of Cha Eunwoo my beloved. || It’s finished and I know a biiig S2 ending spoiler and the reviews are meh but people loved CEW here, so I’ll watch it still probably

Overall Impression: The main female lead was whatever, wish she was just good at something. Whether it be fighting demons, fighting back via kindness and empathy, or actual power due to her status/wealth/connections. She's not the worst ever because she can still stand up for herself and she has personality but I mourn that they've written her like this. Van is just fucking boring and I don't care. My beloved Johan <3333 I liked his charming, cocky, beautiful character who was so intrigued by everything going on as if he really was 20 and curious about everything but also I liked his apprehension when it came down to it. The storyline with his brother was so T.T Also curious to see the evil brother half-demon Guntan and his sidekick niece Yeom-ji. They're both pretty cool compared to our 2 main characters. I wish the show flowed better in terms of the sequence of scenes and pacing and the main characters were more intriguing.

Overall Impression: Literally how was it worse than part 1? Especially when we focused more on Guntan and Yeom-ji than fuckass Miho and Van? Maybe because of less focus on Johan (I wanna know his backstoryyyyyy) and also just incomprehensible writing/plot direction. Yeomji and Johan my beloveds + Guntan being cool were the highlights. Hated the dumbass cliffhanger ending. such a forgettable show.

Overall Impression: Personally worth watching just to see the plethora of the gendered terms used with Night in drag/pretending to be kathoey (esp with Momey). Also liked the ending with “but who’s gonna direct?” [look into the camera] [screen with Directed by Jojo’s name] This was really fun and kept my attention well. I’ve seen people say that the humour didn’t work for them but it did for me. Also fun to see actors like Nanon, Film, Pond in these roles.

Initial Impression: not super sure on the concept because I didn’t watch the mock trailer but cool actors, cool vibes; hope it has strong script and production. || 2 eps are out and people have been really enjoying it, so I’m even more curious.

Overall Impression: I liked the first half with the artifacts and side stories more than the second half where they tried to do too much for a short runtime, not too much budget, and mediocre writing skills. I couldn't make myself care about Khatha or Dome and also it was funny how they kept emphasizing phi-nong with words but so romantic in action. I wish the fantasy and magic and parallel universes and time travel and cult and God and whatever else made more sense together.

Rating: 6.5/10

Initial: wanted something thriller that had a bromance/BL but romance wasn’t at the forefront and was recced this

Overall: A good watch with engaging smaller story arcs (well, some more engaging than others) that play into the larger story (I love that it relates to family), a good cast of characters, good acting, and coherent story. Although, I must say, it's not necessarily that this show is elusive or confusing but sometimes I felt like I wasn't picking up clues or subtext that I would in a different show, so idk what's up with that. I liked the concept of the calligraphy and the "obsession" where these weren't like actual ghosts but beings that were borne from obsession. I didn't really ship Yiyong and Guangyan romantically, though I thought that I would, but I liked their friendship alongwith Chuying; they're a fun trio and the characters well-realized. I will however likely not think about this show and also it was boring/repetitive sometimes.

Watch Dates: Apr 1 - 3, 2024 (#33)

Rating: 7/10

Overall Impression: Lee Dohyun <3 My reason for watching but the show is bigger than just him. It was so addictive and entertaining, watched the whole show in like 2 days and 2 hours. Impressed by the acting of Lee Dohyun and the mother and Mijoo's actors. The show was mostly about the mother and son relationship, with the revenge plot + the Mijoo/Kangho romance arcs in the background. I deeply wish that Kangho hadn't apparently forever loved and understood his mother and did everything for her and sang her favourite song while studying for the Bar or whatever. He went low-contact with her in Seoul even before he discovered the stuff that made him break up with Mijoo, so I think the reasons behind that and the hurt and betrayal that caused him to take such an action should have been focused on more. We got fleeting moments of him being angry or her saying she's bad but it was all explained away or he understood or whatever. Anyway, idk, I think if that relationship was more clear + the ending of the revenge arc was more solid, I would've rated it higher because I did enjoy this but some things bothered me significantly.

Rating: 6.5/10

Overall Impression: Good enough, especially the heart of episode 6 but not something I'll be thinking about at all. The characters didn't resonate a whole lot, this focused a lot on just fighting scenes (more than like strategizing, being clever, etc, which is usually what I'm a fan of), the defeat of the villains wasn't really satisfying at all - especially with how cruel episode 6 went down. Also, I don’t ship Geonwoo and Woojin, sadly.

Rating: 6.5/10 [May 12, 2024 Update: Decreased by 0.5 stars when rerating shows I've watched in 2024: 7 -> 6.5]

Initial Impression: Saw this Tiktok edit while going through an account for TeeWhite (DFF) edits and the most popular Tiktok of this show made me wanna watch + this one like omg idk why I’m so excited to see him get jealous/grovel I don’t know this man. It also has a really high rating like 9/10 on MDL. Okay wait I saw this (pretend crush) on a reel before, I didn’t know this was from the same drama, no wonder the name seemed familiar.

Overall Impression: This was so cute, I liked the characters and their characterizations, the friend group, and their romance. I liked how they were mutually helping each other achieve their goals and paths in life. It was just cute. They had a 1 year long-distance thing in the middle where they were obviously sad but they got through it. I like that they trusted each other and liked each other and were nice to each other. Love that so much of this was them while in a relationship! Their high school undefined situation, then relationship while in uni and jobs and getting married. I love an established relationship situation and this delivered. They got through situations together, no unnecessary breakup or miscommunication. It's just good and cute and endearing.

Initial Impression: school themed horror? Could be cool and interesting if they have a good script and good production and one of the only non-queer GMMTV 2023 shows I’m looking forward to

Overall Impression: I wish the wrap-up/ending was done better/explained a bit more like what was that Ajin possession thing? No Ajin past? Why did we redeem mother so easily? Who was the blurry girl in ep 1 (maybe Yiwha?)? I wish the horror aspect continued on cuz I think it was strongest in the first episode but not much after that. It's had me hetshipping and lesbian shipping (Fa/Namsine were literally soooo) and that's a good mark. Good after credits scene to pique interest for a larger story, hope we get a good follow up next year.

Rating: 7.5/10

Initial Impression: same reason as My Perfect Stranger (Saw this Tiktok (Twinkling Watermelon x My Perfect Stranger) and ended up watching a few more and idk, it reminds me of 18 Again somehow with like younger version and family stuff), it's also in the same tiktok, and it seemed to be very popular among the kdramas this year

Overall Impression: I'm fucking obsessed with this sort of concept: Parent and child being the same teenage age through some magical concept. It's got a good storyline, hilarious yet touching. I was afraid that they'd make Yi Chan's hearing come back but I'm glad it didn't; it's just something that has to happen to him for no reason the way these things just happen sometimes. The characters were well-crafted and the acting was great. Kinda slow paced, there were certain episodes where I was like nothing really happened, but I guess that's the point of the slice of life aspect in some cases; just watching the characters exist alone and together.I was into the ChCh romance from the get-go and thought they were sooo cute whereas EunEun were a more fun menace pair who I just liked to watch fighting before it gradually became a couple I shipped Very Much. Also, a shoutout to my Se Kyeong (OG, not Eun Yoo) and Chung Ah ship, I can't believe Se Kyeong's first love was her husband instead of Chung Ah. A well-crafted show, good acting, hit some feels and I expect some attachment to it (I'm rewatching and skimming certain parts as I write lol).

Overall Impression: Weird to rate just this half-show 4 episodes but really good and interesting, I'm enjoying it a lot. My favourite eps are eps 2 and 4, they balanced a good amount of heart with excitement (for ep 2) and plot progression/answers (ep 4 + ofc Lee Dohyun my initial reason for checking out the show). The 18 Again characters/actors are haunting me with this fr.

Lost Interest

Till the World Ends (Thai - Jan 7)

Initial Impression: it’s an end of the world BL and people who watched it enjoyed it, so I’ll try to give it a watch

Removal Date: Feb 01, 2023

Lost Interest: I’ve started watching non-BL/non-webseries kdramas, so I think I’d just rather watch the kdramas with cool concepts and higher quality than meh quality BLs even if it has a unique plot for a BL

609 Bedtime Story (Thai - Feb 3)

Initial Impression: OhmFluke directed by P’Golf (director of The Eclipse) and it’s parallel universes, sci-fi and has 2 endings, seems cool!

Removal Date: Feb 03, 2023

Lost Interest: I’ve started watching non-BL/non-webseries kdramas, so I think I’d just rather watch the kdramas with cool concepts and higher quality than meh quality BLs even if it has a unique plot for a BL. Everybody’s really confused about it too and I don’t care enough

Moments of Love (Thai - Feb 14)

Initial Impression: I don’t actually know what this is about but I saw a gif of SmartJames shotgunning and yeah, I’ll probably watch it. + it’s a movie with Fort, SmartJames, directed by P’Golf, so not much of a time sink and I’ll get to see some people I’ve watched before

Removal Date: Mar 19, 2023

I forgot this even existed tbh but I was adding Laws of Attraction and The Sign to my anticipated list and was like oh? anyway, the movie has a low rating on MDL and apparently all the couples end sadly.

Home School

Initial Impression: first in 2022 and Finally, I think this is the last of the GMMTV 2022 batch and I hope it’s really great. Releasing twice a week, so I also won’t have to wait 3 months to watch it

Removal Date: Aug 5, 2023

Lost Interest: I’ve heard it’s bad lol rip

Middle Man’s Love

Initial Impression: Domundi: Middleman’s Love (TutorYim~ excited). The 2023 showcase happened and the premises for some of these are really good (ZeeNuNew’s prince/bodyguard drama, MaxNat parallel worlds(?), NetJames historical and time travel(?), so I hope the execution is good as well. Haven’t watched mock teasers except for Bed Friend and the ZeeNuNew one, wonder when these will acc come out. Gonna watched teasers (+ showcase in general) after the shows actually come out

TFP Smokescreen x Human Reader SMUT -💧🔥

Smokescreen wakes up to a nightmare about loosing y/n and when checked on by her their comforting time leads to a heated makeout session and soon enough something a little more.

---

SEXUAL CONTENT AHEAD! IF YOU AREN'T 16+ OR ARE UNCOMFORTABLE THEN TURN AWAY FROM THIS!!!

---

Smokescreen is normally a sound sleeper, but with what's happening to night.. That's not the case.

He lay tossing and turning in his berth with stressed noises leaving him and soon enough tears and small mumbles of your name following after them.

He soon had tossed around so much that his blanket wasn't even covering him and his pillows scattered on his berth before he shot up with a horrified look.

"Y/N!" Smokescreen said instantly afterwards as he still had tears running down his faceplate and soon he looks around realizing it was a dream.

He sighed with a heavy spark and sat hunched over in his berth just thinking and trying to calm himself down, only he would be if he didn't hear footsteps running his way.

His door flew open and you stood in the middle of it in your PJs and with a concerned look as you looked at the blue and yellow racer before you.

It took you a minute to read his mood before your face dropped to a softer one and walked over letting the doors close behind you as you approached his berth.

"Smokey you okay? I could hear you from my spot in the hanger.." You asked as he looked at you with a small relieved look and and licked you up in his servo and brought you close to him as he vented shakily.

"Please don't ever try and take a blast from one of anyones blasters y/n" He said softly and looked at you while he kissed your head and pressed you close to hus chassis.

"Smokescreen I would never... Don't let these nightmares traumatize you like that sweet." You said as you hugged his faceplate close to your body in a comforting mannerism.

"I know I just... So many thungs have been on my mind and they finally caught up to me in the long run. Can you maybe... Stay here with me for the night? Just so I know that your safe that is." Smokescreen said as he looked at you with a soft look that you couldn't refuse and nidded before you were pulled back and layed next to his helm so he could see you.

One second you were next to his helm relaxed and the next thing you know he's in mass displacement and pulling you close to him with a blanket over you both.

You can't say it wasn't cute that he was doing this and so you two cuddled for a but with occasional small talk and banter.

After a bit you leaned up and kissed his derma with a smile and Smokescreen returned it in full as you two layed down.

While you two layed and kissed it soon turned into a rather heated Makeout session with Smokescreen climbing on top of you and pressing close as you you wrapped your arms around his neck while he kissed your lips, neck, and collar bone.

He was leaving small bite marks and hickeys as you two continued, he trailed his servo up your shirt and took hold of one of your breasts as he started to massage it.

You were enjoying this and it showed as you had soft moans and gasps leave you and as he continued it only grew to get you wetter with want.

"Come on Smokey~ it's alright if you wanna go further~" you said lowly in his audio receptor as you met his gaze then a kiss.

Smokescreen moved and grasped your hips as he removed your pants and slowly began rubbing your bundle of nerves making your back arch and grip his shoulders when they moved to start pumping in and out of your soaked womanhood.

After some time you had your release hit, Smokescreen kissed your neck and cleaned his digits that were coated in a clear sticky substance.

"Tell me if it hurts okay?" Smokescreen said softly as you nodded and pulled him closer to you while he lined up to your entrance and slowly pushed in.

You moaned when he did and gripped his shoulderplating tightly as you wrapped your legs around him and nodded so he could start movingand in so he did.

He thrusted at a moderate pace while admiring your features and adoring the noises that you were making as he held you and moved.

You on the other hand were just enjoying his gentleness while you moaned in bliss of the both of your actions.

You had been like this for about 34 minutes before you finally climaxed with a moan of his name and clenched around his spike, it may have felt different but you couldn't resist that it did good and felt amazing in you.

Smokescreen thrusted for a minute longer before he reached his and pulled out overloading onto your stomach with a bright blue sticky substance.

You smiled widely panting in sync with him, when you both caught your breath he grabbed a few tissues to help clean you up with from your lovely session.

When you both were cleaned up and covered back up, Smokescreen stayed in his holoform and had you pulled close and against his chassis with you nuzzled into his neck.

"Love you Smokey." You smiled and kissed his cheekplate gaining a small engine rev from him and a smile.

"Love you to my Racer." Smokescreen said as you to cuddledinto the night and this time, there was no nightmare to stop it or interupt it.

What would you like to see in a new NiGHTS game?

Postgame ability to free roam ALL LEVELS without dealing with Awakers/Alarm Eggs/a potentially new wake you up "enemy." JoD doesn't let you free roam super far from my recollection, and NiD has a larger capacity to free roam by base since you can stun the Alarm Egg but it doesn't last forever. Plus the levels in NiD are small, I have tried to explore zones but straight up the areas in Mare 4 do not exist until they're called in by completing the relevant laps. You can do unlimited freeroam via a Game Shark on the Saturn version (which I have done, but I don't have a capture card to show it off), which is very neat, but I'd want that to be a basic feature.

New outfits for NiGHTS and Reala because I love seeing them in new costumes.

A Jackle cameo if it wouldn't break the plot. I like the idea of getting new Second Levels every single game, but Jackle is a fan favorite. Maybe have them as a bonus unlockable skin in the vein of Reala being playable in Christmas NiGHTS on April 1st (Reala Day) sort of like Claris and Elliot were unlockable in JoD if you got all the Dream Drops. (I did, in fact, go out of my way to get all of the Dream Drops in JoD. It was a nice little addition to the game even if some of them were fiddly as HELL to get.)

I've warmed up to the light puzzle platforming as the kids thing from JoD, so I'd want to keep that in to some degree. There NEEDS to be better control over Blue Chips though, those controls felt so fiddly.

Fix the My Dream system or remove it entirely. A-Life was the reason we later got Chao, so there's no reason we can't have a Chao-adjacent system. I love the idea of which levels you play the most influences the space, but in practice the changes are so minimal it's really annoying. Maybe let some features of the level be unlockable based on X number of replays or Y score.

I don't really have any particular wants for the story. I guess "less clunky" from JoD. The original NiD is a masterpiece, even if most of the plot is hidden in the manual. I was able to enjoy its story not having the manual as a kid and having zero concept of what was really going on. Owl can stay, but they NEED to not use his voice clips to the point of annoyance.

I've floated the idea of reversing the sporty and artsy thing, ie having an artsy inclined boy and a sporty girl, before, and I still think that could be nice. I've toyed with this concept for my own fics, but ultimately after writing Journey into the Dream Within I don't think I could do anything that interesting in this concept in a way that wouldn't be retreading what I'd already written with my JoD fic. Piano boy is my vote if we gotta pick an instrument, I don't sports so idk on the girl front. (In theory you could get away with a customizable Dreamer character but given how entrenched in symbolism and how much the series leans into Jungarian ideas, this could make the levels wholeass make no sense. I'd be down for doing the Pokemon or Balan Wonderworld thing of "you have a set protagonist but can pick their appearance" though.)

Soundtrack just needs to keep consistent quality. For all the flaws of both games, the OSTs always slap. Bring back the Nightopian mood mechanic from NiD though that's awesome. Love those remixes. I'm a sucker for variations on a theme.

MAKE PARALOOPS INCENTIVIZED! Having Nightmaren eat half my Nightopians after paralooping them because it throws them into the My Dream area was annoying as hell and I hated that.

Remove Personas unless it's for cosmetics. Honestly remove Personas entirely. NiGHTS fluidly changing form in NiD made much more sense than in JoD. (Attempting to justify their existing in my fic was suffering honestly.)

I'd really like it if the game leaned more into NiGHTS' origins. Not their backstory, but the fact they're a Nightmaren. They're not all sugar and rainbows they were made to torment humans. Lean into that. More gremlin former Nightmaren energy in my protagonist please. (It wouldn't even effect their characterization much. NiD NiGHTS can be sassy too, if you make them bonk their head on the Ideya Palace enough times they'll refuse to Dualize with you.)

Chapter 1: My Shiva: How we met

A time came when I thought I should be moving out of my comfortable bed, making a life for myself. I came to Mumbai from Kolkata. I had some savings from the previous startup. I bought a small boutique store in the suburbs. I bought a tiny 2BHK, all investments. I created my page on all social media platforms, hoping to promote it online. I knew I needed enough to survive a year without any profit.

But the expenses were too much for me. I was almost on the verge of calling my parents and telling them "Yes Baba. You were right. I failed again. Can you give me some money?". But I didn't. I pushed myself. Posted a roommate ad on my social media page. I heard the rents in Mumbai were high. The guy who has rented the place next to mine pays 35000 monthly for a similar 2BHK. It would not hurt to make 15000 per month by renting out the spare room.

I was new to the city. The city truly had its charm. Of course it was not Kolkata. But now when I think of it, the only thing that binds me to Kolkata were my people. My parents, my brother, my friends. I had no one in this strange city. One night, as I was scrolling through my timeline on Facebook, I saw Nids. She was my classmate in school. It was a picture of her standing on a clearway at Marine drive while I could see the waves crashing behind her.

A week later I received a reply from Nids. She wrote, "Hi Sree. I am in town. Come by. This is my number. Ping me. Let me share with you my address". My days were busy. But I was free in the evening. Most evenings were spent reading, cooking, chores and more chores. I hadn't met anyone familiar in years. I was excited, but hoped the address was close by. Though trains were an easy transport throughout the city, I was not familiar with trains. I would need a cab or an auto.

Almost immediately, she sent me her address. It was 15km from my apartment. Now, you should know something about women. We have stages of dilemma, especially when you have not dressed up in a while. First, everything should match. If you have not waxed your legs, you can't risk a short dress. If you have a heel you want to wear, you will have to get a bag and dress that matches it. Second, lack of motivation. So much energy goes in trying out clothes with shoes, in changing and changing till you find a perfect one for the occasion, but by then you are exhausted. Third, when you see a woman in her boxy tshirt and jeans, you should know that she could not succeed in getting a match. She wore the most comfortable clothes she could muster at the moment.

But I was motivated. After a year, I was finally meeting a friend, someone familiar. I didn't have to try hard to look good. She was a friend. She had seen me in two pony tails in school. Anything I wear would be better than that. And so I did. I wore my own brand, though my clothes had not yet become my brand. I have hardly sold 100 pieces since I opened my boutique. But it was one of my best. I wore a beige pant, paired it with a white short top, a grey blazer and a rose gold chain neckpiece to match all. I wore my rose gold watch and a brown pump heel. I was ready. I tied my hair in a knot. Applied lipstick blush and eyeliner, I was ready.

I was at the door. She texted that she would be on the 3rd floor. The door of her apartment was intricately designed in wood with a frosted glass panelling on the sides. I heard the door knob click from inside and as it opened, I saw a girl standing at the door. "Yes. Who do you want?" She said. I was startled. I thought I was meeting her alone. But I could clearly see this was a party. There were 10 people inside all seated around a small coffee table.

"Hi! I am Sneha. I am here to meet Nids, sorry Nidhi Sharma. She invited me"

Just then, from behind the door, a head peeped out.

"Hi Sree! Come in. It has been a long time"

She came forward and gave me a tight hug. Yes that's Nidhi, my childhood friend Nids. I remember we often discussed our life plans when we were young. I used to tell her, "Please. If you ever get married, don't invite me. I can't bear to have veg food at a friend's wedding." And sometimes " You know how I want to die? At the age of 80, on the laps of my husband with my forehead lined with sindoor and my grandchildren by my side. I would be smiling to them, a sign that I have lived my life to the fullest." On seeing her after so long all those memories came rushing back.

She took my hand and we entered her parlor. She introduced me to her guests. "Guys, meet Sree. I call her Sree. She is Sneha. She was my best friend in school." I took a place on the sofa. I placed my bag on the side, awkwardly. I was not expecting a bunch of strangers.

"Hi! Would you like a drink?" said one of her friends

"Yes. But I have to work tomorrow. So, I would like a glass of juice, please." But as I said this, I could hear my head telling me "Shut up!"

She chuckled. I wanted a place to dig a hole and bury myself out of embarrassment. Just then Nidhi came to my aid. "Riddhima, stop. She does not drink. Here. This is my favourite mocktail punch. Nothing fancy. Just some soda, fruits and cold drink". She was holding a glass with some transparent drink. I could see slices of pomegranate, apple and lemon beneath.

"Thank you." I took the glass.

"Come on. Give it a try"

I took a sip. It tasted like Sprite with fruits. Not bad.

"Guys, let's play. This is Game Night. We should play. Teams decided yet?" It was a man. He had a long canvas stand in his embrace. He set it down and smiled at his audience. That's when I saw him. My Shiva!

SÉANCE #13 | Vérité sociale

« Les médias de fausses nouvelles sont le parti d'opposition. C'est très mauvais pour notre magnifique pays » a déclaré Donald Trump en 2018, alors qu’il était le président des États-Unis. On le sait bien en tant qu’étudiant en communication, les médias sont le chien de garde de la démocratie, mais que peut faire le chien de garde lorsque les nouvelles sont consommées et produites sur le numérique? Pire, que fait le chien de garde lorsqu’un média a été créé pour présenter la vraie «vérité». 

C’est le phénomène qui se produit actuellement avec Truth Social, le média qui a vu le jour afin que Donald Trump puisse continuer de twitter… sans twitter (maintenant X) après l'assaut au capitole. Truth social se présente comme «America's "Big Tent" social media platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating on the basis of political ideology.» En bref, c’est un nid de fausses nouvelles. Si Trump a trouvé la solution à la censure des médias numériques en créant sa propre plateforme et ses propres règles de modération, est-ce qu’il n’aurait pas été mieux de le garder sur les plateformes numériques ayant des règles à suivre ? 

Bannir Donald Trump de Twitter à l’époque* était une bonne décision, dans le sens qu’il n’a pas respecté les règles de la plateforme en incitant à la violence dans un événement ayant causé la mort de 5 personnes, et quant à moi, c’est très peu payé pour les actions qui ont menés à de graves conséquences. Dans un même ordre d’idée, nous (et ceux qui ont pris cette décision) étions loin de nous douter que Trump finira par ouvrir son propre réseau social afin de poursuivre sa vendetta contre les médias. D’autre part dans le contexte actuel de la campagne électorale qui se veut «cruciale» pour la démocratie, ne serait-il pas pertinent de mieux encadrer les échanges numériques portant sur le politique? 

Chose est claire, le poids du numérique ne devrait pas être sous-estimé dans la prochaine campagne électorale.  

* Elon Musk a par ailleurs infirmé la décision de bannir Trump du réseau social X, mais son compte semble inactif depuis août 2023.(https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump).

Collective Theme 1

The idea or the recurring theme in the work “Nids Udo” is the circle of life. There is unity in the photographs presented, such as a circular nest with a entity or subject in the middle. The translation of Nids means nest in english. This is symbolism of the beginning. There are different variations of nests in the following photographs such as a wooden nest created with twigs and small wooden sticks which give us that classical nest look. Then a nest made of maybe seaweed or wheat trunks forming a sort of platform on the water. In this particular one there is a tiny human at the center.

I think this goes well with “the happening” since this resembles the start or where it happened. A human being formed on a nest. The next one is a snow nest and at the center filled with 3 dyed ice balls. Here we have a contrast of colors three balls who share the color of heat in an area which seems cold. In all of the works presented the is unity and movement all together.
