There are some I wish would just be never-ending series, like My Tooth, Your Love & Choco Milkshake!
I’m up to the final eps of a few of them. Then they will go on my list of watched BLs with my rating. I will post that (very long) list, after that, once again.
PS
I had to revise my list because I was watching more than I could remember!
PPS
Finished Choco MilkShake tonight and it made me cry. What a lovely, well-done, well-written, but too short little gem!
PPPS
Eternal Yesterday ended, too, also very sadly! WTF is going on here??? (In BL WORLD?) But, still it was very good, very interesting, loved the male leads.
PPPPS
Just watched the finale of AiLongNhai which was, ironically, anticlimactic. I don’t think I would encourage anybody to watch this series. Aside from the two cute leads, there’s really not much to recommend it. I would not deter anyone from watching it, either. We all enjoy BL Series for varying reasons.
It was kinda like the Thai BL version of Seinfeld—a series about nothing, except not really, (purposely), funny.
I can't exactly remember when I first started watching BL (seems like years!) but I began making a record of what I'd watched from around July 2022. First it was to just write down what I'd seen. Then it was other details, like country, ep count and some deets to help me remember it. I also marked them by excellence, rewatch value or UGH (aka weird, stupid, terrible).
So here’s my stats month-by-month:

Please when you finish choco milk shake tell me what happens in the last episode. Bc I honestly had no courage to watch the finale on my own. I'm scared
Hello Anon! I just finished ep 11. It was a little angsty in the beginning. Jungwoo misses Milk and Choco but he is adjusting to life without them again. He often thinks about Choco and just wonders if his boys will ever return to him again. But they do in fact return and the series does end happily with both couples together.
What would happen if your childhood pets were reincarnated as hot young men who remembered you with all the loyalty they gave you before? This. This is exactly what would happen. @absolutebl They have absolutely done it again. Believe in Strongberry and they will deliver!
