I recovered. More or less. I’m still coughing from time to time and I’m getting tired so quickly. But mostly I’m fine. But of course, since it’s covid, now my mom is sick. It was inevitable that she would catch it from me, since we live together. She’s also vaccinated so it’s not as horrible as it was the first time, but still I’m so worried.
On a fanfic writing front I started a canon re-watch needed for writing my Yuletide assignment. But of course my brain decided that this is the best time to say: ‘but what if you wrote two fics for your newest obsession instead?’ And yep, that’s what I did. I wrote two contrasting fics for Mandate – one E-rated porn with feelings, and one G-rated fluffy hurt/comfort. They are both in beta-reading right now.
And after I got that out of my system I even managed to write 300 words of my Yuletide assignment. I have only a vague idea what I want to write next, but still, progress, yay. 😊
As for drama watching – I still enjoy Typhoon Family a lot, even though the big part of the last episode was not that enjoyable to watch because of period typical sexism thrown at the female lead. I could do without so much of that, but hopefully it will be toned down in the next episodes. I get that it’s the nineties, and it’s realistic, but right now I need escapism, and not this.
Also, against my better judgment I started watching ClaireBell, that Thai GL drama I wrote about in my last post. I’m saying ‘against my better judgment’ because it makes me so tense while watching. But also I’m glad I started it, because it’s good. Two newbie actresses in lead parts are both great, especially the one playing Claire. Very high production values, too. And the script is also good.
And, as always, have a few new trailers I bookmarked lately. Behind the cut there are embedded trailers for three BL dramas.
Me and Thee - GMMTV’s new drama with PondPhuwin, about a romance between a photographer and a ruthless gangster with a secret dorky side. Looks entertaining, funny and sweet. It starts airing on November 15.
Tide of Love - a Korean BL drama about a romance between a cold rich boy with a hidden trauma and a cheerful art student, with two actors from Sweetheart Service. And wow, it’s Korea doing BDSM BL, quite explicit one by the looks of it. I’m intrigued. It also starts airing on November 15.
Be My Player Two - a love story between an experienced streamer and a rookie gamer in the world of online gaming. This is a prequel to A Boss And A Babe, with two secondary characters from ABAAB Thee and Zo being the main characters here. And as much as I loved Fluke and Ohm as Thee and Zo in ABAAB, I also like Maxky and Bas a lot. They are decent actors and have great chemistry, and I hope I’ll like this drama, since their previous one (Fourever You) was a big disappointment for me. But this one is a pilot trailer from WeTV lineup for 2026, so no idea when it will air.

I'm sure they're going to fix the sexism in Typhoon Family somehow. Mr Go is so obviously wrong about everything (including how to do business), they'll have to figure it out!
Best wishes to you and your mum. *hugs*

Exactly, he's bad at his job, too, in addition to being a colossal jerk. But, like I wrote in the answer to your comment - he'll probably be humbled in the next episode. At least I hope so.
