Trailers and drama watching
Trailers first.
Your Sky
It’s an university BL with fake dating between a naïve, optimistic freshman and a popular student, which of course in time turns into real dating. Doesn’t look like anything super original, but it’s Domundi, and I tend to like their dramas. And it will be probably high heat. 😊
Zomvivor
To stay with Domundi – it’s a mini teaser for their zombie drama that is supposed to air sometime in 2025. Not BL, but with a lot of their most popular BL actors – Zee, NuNew, Max and Nat amongst them.
The Heart Killers
Jojo’s new drama for GMMTV, which starts airing on November 20, probably on Youtube. It looks good – very entertaining and hot as hell. I’m sure fandom will be all over First and Khaotung, and of course I love them, too. They’re great actors and have fantastic chemistry. And for people who like these things – there is a clear dom/sub dynamic between First’s character and Khaotung’s character, with bondage and nipple clamps, and stuff like that. And, contrary to what some people might think, tiny cutie Khaotung is the dom. 😊 But, based on the trailer, I think I’ll be much more into Dunk and Joong’s characters. Which surprises me, since I was pretty meh about them before (I liked Star in My Mind well enough, but managed to watch only one episode of Hidden Agenda, because I found it super boring).
And now let’s move on to drama watching.
Flower of Evil
I didn’t read any spoilers about this drama apart from that standard blurb about a guy with a happy family life and a successful career, who is hiding a dark secret about his past and his true identity, and his wife a detective who starts to suspect that her ideal husband might be hiding something from her. So I was expecting a dark mystery thriller, but what I got was a melodrama first and a crime drama second.
IMO that drama was too long, and 12 episodes would be more than enough. They just really wanted a happy ending for our main characters, so they spend last few episode trying to establish Hyun Su as a good guy through and through, who was willing to risk his safety rescuing other victims.
And in the last episode there was a trope beloved by kdrama creators and loathed by me – amnesia. I give them props for not making it magically go away at the last minute and having Hyun Su suddenly remember everything. He does have small fragments of his memory, but that’s all he will ever have of his former life. Although at the same time it did feel a bit like a cop-out. Because now Hyun Su doesn’t have to live with the guilt of remembering how he so completely deceived his loving wife for a decade.
So I wouldn’t recommend it for someone who wants a dark thriller with a morally ambiguous protagonist. But if you like beautiful broken woobies and want a complicated romance mixed with a convoluted serial killer subplot, and don’t mind a bit too many coincidences – then this is the drama for you. 😊
Family by Choice episodes 7-8
Aww, this drama... It makes me cry, and it makes me laugh, and it makes my heart all warm when I’m watching this lovely, unconventional family being so loving and caring. My beautiful OT3 and my adorable dads ship makes me forgive them their iffiness about female characters.
But then they give me another moving scene between Jeong Jae and Hae Jun that makes me teary-eyed, or another cute scene with OT3, or with two dads. And I’m willing to suffer through the horribleness of San Ha’s mother to have all this.
Like in the 8th episode Ju Won is talking to San Ha on the phone and says this about her father and San Ha’s father:
“Tonight’s dinner is stir-fried squid. Ahjusshi was bickering with Dad asking if he’s making drinking snacks instead. They’re practically married now.”
Heh, and yes they are. They are the best hubbies in town.
My Damn Business episode 5
I love this drama. It’s a pity that I have only two more episodes left. I wish it was longer. And I wish I watched it all before Yuletide, because I would love to request this drama, too.
And Su An being all: blink, blink, blink “...okay”, and then instantly hiding under the covers embarrassed. Heh... And then they went to sleep like that:
😍

More with spoilers here.
I enjoyed the first six episodes a lot, but while watching the next two episode I realized what that drama really was about. Like I wanted a drama about morally ambiguous high functioning sociopath, who was good at manipulating people around him, and maybe wasn’t a serial killer but definitely did a few bad things in his past. But that wasn’t a drama they made. I was disappointed for a moment there, but then I adjusted my expectations and accepted that Hyun Su is a misunderstood, broken woobie, who never did anything wrong in his life. Lee Joon Gi being so exceptionally beautiful did help with that perception. 😊 With that in mind I enjoyed the next few episodes of that drama a lot, too. The last four episodes were a bit disappointing to me and it took me a while to watch them, since I kept watching like half an episode and then getting bored and going back to finish the second half a few days later.IMO that drama was too long, and 12 episodes would be more than enough. They just really wanted a happy ending for our main characters, so they spend last few episode trying to establish Hyun Su as a good guy through and through, who was willing to risk his safety rescuing other victims.

Especially since they make quite a good job with explaining why the most horrible character i.e. San Ha’s mother is the way she is. And I’m not saying that it justifies what she does. Not at all, she is so horrible that it is sometimes hard to watch. But I get why she behaves that way. Even if I do fast-forward through her scenes sometimes.But then they give me another moving scene between Jeong Jae and Hae Jun that makes me teary-eyed, or another cute scene with OT3, or with two dads. And I’m willing to suffer through the horribleness of San Ha’s mother to have all this.

Spoilers with one pic here.
Aww, they are so adorable. My sweet cutie Su An was so flustered by Woo Jin being so charming and flirtatious. And they are officially boyfriends now. ♥ That whole scene was so sweet and lovely. With Woo Jin saying in such a warm, soft voice: “Su An-ah, I’ll be the good guy for you. Date me.”And Su An being all: blink, blink, blink “...okay”, and then instantly hiding under the covers embarrassed. Heh... And then they went to sleep like that:
