BeOnCloud’s new BL drama is finally here. Welcome back on my screen, Bible. I missed your beautiful face and your acting talent.

I watched the 1st episode, it was good, and I am very intrigued. And I trust Sammon, who wrote the screenplay, so I’m pretty sure the rest of the eight episodes will be good, too. Now I have a dilemma if I want to watch it at the pace of one episode a week. Or should I wait for all the eight episodes to air, and then watch it all in two-three days. Maybe I’ll wait since I can’t watch it legally anyway. Or, you know, I probably could, but only by jumping through hoops (it’s available on VIU, and only in Thailand and a few other Southeast Asian countries). And I’m too lazy to do that. The other way is so much easier. 😊


The Rebound

In one word – disappointing. A strong start, very mixed middle part, and a very bad ending. I watched the last two episodes basically fast-forwarding through most of it. A few good secondary characters kept me watching in the second half, but the screenplay was very weak, and I have to say that Meen and Ping don’t work for me at all. Separately as actors, or as a pairing. I haven’t seen any of their previous dramas, but here they were not good at all. Even their chemistry was only so, so for me.


Feng Yue Shi

It’s a Chinese BL mini webdrama. I found it here on Youtube. Or rather Yotube recommended it to me, presumably because I watched so many Meet You At The Blossom vids lately. Good work this time, Youtube algorithm, I trained you well. 😉

It’s very short, only 7 minutes, but it packs so much in such a short time – angst, drama, love, jealousy, murder, and a sort of a twist ending. I enjoyed it a lot, and I already watched it twice. 😊


Meet You At The Blossom

And of course I can’t have a post these days without something about my beloved little drama.

Here is a preview from episode 9. It’s a post on tumblr that also has fan translation of the dialogue from that scene. And wow, Huaien, you’re horrible. But I still love you to pieces. 😊 Also argh, I want it to be Wednesday right now so badly.



One more thing - you know that couply magazine photoshoots BL ships always get when they become popular? Guess what - Seo In Guk and Ahn Jae Hyun had one photoshoot like that, too, lately, for Cosmopolitan.

Here is one pic from that photoshoot:



And here is Making Of vid. And here we also have a short interview for Cosmopolitan titled “What Happens When Seo In Guk and Ahn Jae Hyun Only See Each Other?” 😊

The best part is when they start talking about expanding on the story from K.Will’s two vids. Seo In Guk starts pitching a short drama. And Ahn Jae Hyun says he prefers a movie. And then adds: “Just throw in a bed scene.” Heh, but also - yes, please, get on that South Korea. They‘re both very good actors, they are good friends, they’re clearly very comfortable with each other, and they have fantastic chemistry. Can you imagine if we saw them kiss? Because I will be forever disappointed that this moment:


didn’t make it into the “No Sad Song For My Broken Heart” vid.

Thanks for the link to Feng Yue Shi. I have a phone full of short dramas and this looks really promising! ♥

Also, thanks for the Seo In Guk and Ahn Jae Hyun link. Seo In Guk is a personal favourite of mine so I'd love to see this happen! I'm currently watching him as the SML in a series from 2013 and feeling a bit sad for the ML as Seo In Guk is stealing every scene he's in. ;D

Ooh, is it Master's Sun?

Yes it is. We're at 11/24 and enjoying it!

You know I like a little added something if I'm going to watch a romance. ;D

Yay! I really like that show and have watched it multiple times with various people. Kong Hyo-Jin is so creepy, especially at the start, and it made me really like So Ji-Sub, too. I've seen him in a few other things.

I haven't seen So Ji-Sub in anything else though he's doing a great acting job... but I still feel he's being overshadowed by Seo In Guk. ;D

I can't wait to chat about it whenever we manage to finish watching it. We're so slow about finishing any show nowadays.

So Ji-Sub is in My Secret Terius, which is basically Scarecrow and Mrs. King. You might like it (if you're not allergic to kidfic; I am, slightly, and still loved it).

I saw that and thought it might be something I'd enjoy at least (not so sure about MG) but it's not available through any of my sources. It's on the list though. ;D

Wow, that is a great pic from that photoshoot. Thanks for posting it!

I watched the 1st episode, it was good, and I am very intrigued.

Me too! Apparently even the illegal sites can't agree on one version. The one I got the first ep from had it uncensored, but not the second one. I had to get the second one from somewhere else. What a pain. I've read comments on mydramalist of people who had to buy two subscriptions, because VIU Hong Kong had the first ep uncensored but not the second (which explains the rip situation as well), and the Philippines had the second but not the first. What a mess. For reference:

ep 1 length uncensored: 57 minutes
ep 2 length uncensored: 47 minutes

THAT SAID, the show is really intriguing and I am also happy to have Bible back on my screen.

I will be forever disappointed that this moment didn’t make it into the “No Sad Song For My Broken Heart” vid.


Same here! The teaser PROMISED!
