There are too many dramas I want to watch. I mean, this is a good problem to have. But I gave up trying to catch up with dramas I already started. And there are so many I haven’t even started, and I do want to. Gone are the days when I could watch 8-10 episodes of a show in one day. And it’s not even because I don’t live alone now. But these days I can manage maybe 3-4 episodes in one day, if I’m really invested in something. When I try to watch more I feel like I stop absorbing anything after a certain point. One of the reasons is probably that blasted menopause, because my concentration has been shit for like the last three-four years. But well, what can you do, life is brutal and full of zasadzkas, as we say in Poland sometimes. 😊
But my fannish life is good, fortunately. I almost finished my next Klao/Warich fic. I’m rewatching The Matchmakers at the pace of one episode a day, and it’s as fantastic as I remembered, and it makes me squee a lot again.
I’m also expanding my BL horizons, and after watching Taiwanese, Thai, Korean, Japanese and Chinese BL dramas, now I started Vietnamese BL call My Sweet Brother in Law. It’s a short drama with only 5 episodes, and three aired for now. And well, this is ‘infidelity, the drama’ basically. One guy has a fiancée, another guy has a wife. Although not everything is as clear-cut as this sentence suggests.
But I guess I’m in the mood for some infidelity, which is strange, because usually it’s a DNW for me. Maybe it’s because the drama does not vilify the women involved? Anyway, I for sure will watch the last two episodes, too. Because it is entertaining and the lead actors are good and pretty, and have great chemistry. 😊
The other lead is called Khanh. And it seems he only got married because this what was expected of him. And because his family is rather conservative. Which is coincidentally Huyen’s family, since Khanh is Huyen’s older brother. It also seems that Khanh’s wife is sincerely in love with him. And it absolutely is shitty of him to cheat on her, and IMO the drama doesn’t try to justify his behavior.
But I wonder how can they resolve this in only two remaining episodes if they want to have a happy ending for our main couple? I’m assuming there will be a happy ending, since both guys already caught feelings even though neither of them would admit it for now, and they both pretend it’s just sex between them. But there is really not that much time to make a plausible happy ending happen.
It’s available on Youtube with English subs. The playlist is here.
In other fannish news word on the street is that Memoir of Rati has a sad ending. Aww, no, I don’t wanna... I’m still going to watch it though. And maybe it’s just a rumor. GMMTV’s dramas usually have a happy ending. So maybe this one will, too.
And now trailers. So many trailers. Really, when am I going to watch all this? 😉 Behind the cut there are embedded teasers and trailers for:
Bon Appetit, Your Majesty – a kdrama about a talented chef from 2025 who travels in time to Joseon era, and there she meets a tyrant king who is also a gourmet.
Three BL dramas – Korean drama Ball Boy Tactics (university BL with basketball and antagonists-to-lovers plot), Thai drama Suntiny (MaxNat in a continuation of Sun and Nuea’s story from Y Destiny), and Chinese drama Revenged Love (about a seduction that starts as revenge but becomes a real love).
Two Thai GL dramas – Be My Angel (about a romance between a girl with worst luck and a rather inept angel), and Whale Store xoxo (MilkLove in a love story about a girl, who inherits her father’s unprofitable grocery store and a flirtatious store regular, who hides a truth about her family’s business).

Guy with a fiancée is called Bao. And his future marriage is a marriage of convenience. He’s gay and his fiancée Huyen is a lesbian and has a girlfriend, who is Bao’s former roommate. That’s how Bao got involved with them.The other lead is called Khanh. And it seems he only got married because this what was expected of him. And because his family is rather conservative.

Suntiny trailer: What the hell did I just watch? LOL I haven't seen Y Destiny, but it's Max/Nat, so I'll consider it.
Be My Angel looks nice too.
You're not up-to-date with The Next Prince?

And I had the same impression about Ball Boy Tactics - it seems very Semantic Error like. Which I hope it's a good thing, since Semantic Error was great and I loved it.
As for Max and Nat in Y Destiny - I liked their story. It's an anthology drama and I only watched their part, but it was cute. I really liked that Nat's character was a pursuer and a bold flirt, and Max's Sun was a shy and quiet type. I watched it right after Cutie Pie, and it was nice to see them in a completely different relationship dynamic. But yeah that trailer looks crazy, but I'll try the drama anyway, at least one or two episodes since love Max and Nat a lot. :)

I'll see what you think about Suntiny. I have started the Chinese BL(-ish) Justice in the Dark and I also want to watch the new DMBJ show, so that's going to take me some time.

Oh, I hope Ball Boy Tactics is good. Look forward to your opinion. <3

Eh, omg, that's more than I can manage *now* and that's pre menopause. I am now dreading it.
*hugs* I hope your concentration improves again once the hormones have evened out. <3
And now trailers. So many trailers.
Waht why? The ones that spoke the most to me were two that I never would have chosen on my own! The cooking time travel transmigration one, and the girl with her angel (they're both so very cute!). Huh. Well, then! :D I don't have time for either, but they go on my list! :D
Thank you for the recs!
