RL is meh. My hip is much better, but the rest is ugh. My elbow was a bit better and then I overdid it by writing two more treats for Candy Hearts. I feel very accomplished now of course, but at what cost. *sigh* And I am now officially diagnosed with hypertension. And I have new meds, but I think my intestines don’t like them, so I have to make another appointment with my cardiologist. *sigh again*
And the weather is ugh, too – it’s dark, rainy and gloomy. All this pretty white snow that was here just a few days ago now took form of dirty, brown slush. One good thing is that last week we discovered a great new sushi place. Everything was very yummy, and we plan to eat there the next week, too.
Because of all of the reasons above, the things I did watch lately were mostly cute and fluffy, because I’m so not in the mood for anything angsty or depressing. And those cute things were:
Cat For Cash - Thai BL drama with pretty boys and talking cats, what’s not to like? 😊
My Romance Scammer - another Thai BL drama about two scammers (one who is good at what he does, and one who is really not) who fall for their marks – two cousins from a very rich family. 2 episodes aired for now and I really liked them. Junior is fantastic, and this is the first drama of the new ship OhmPoon, and I enjoy them so much here.
I Wanna Be Sup'tar - Thai GL drama about the romance between a famous and rich, but very unhappy girl and a poor girl with dreams about a big career in the entertainment industry. The 1st episode aired last week and I liked it. It’s cheesy and fun and I really like the main ship Lilly and Belle (who were the secondary ship in Harmony Secret).
Read, White & Royal Blue - I finally watched this movie yesterday, and I enjoyed it so much. It was cute, sexy, funny and touching. Alex and Henry are very adorable and hot together, and I love them to pieces. I’m so glad there will be a sequel. And I might try reading the book again, because I did try reading it a few years ago, and managed maybe 20 or 30 pages, because I found it rather bad. But that might be because I was reading a Polish translation. Will try the original this time.
Not so cute was the finale of Burnout Syndrome. It was a good drama, but I was rather disappointed with the ending. Even though I did expect an ending exactly like that. Since it is a Thai BL drama with a very popular fixed ship.
And that ending felt so empty and boring to me. And I read a few opinions and some people seem to think this was not a happy ending and that viewers should wonder if Koh and Jira will stay together in the future. But to me, I think the drama does actually mean for us to believe they have a chance at a long-term relationship. It was filmed like a straightforward romance with appropriate music, and all that.
And earlier there was this song playing at one time over Jira’s image – “I will be his angel, I will be his savior”. And Pheem told Jira that Koh sold his AI interests like it’s supposed to be a good thing, and something that redeems Koh.
And don’t get me wrong, I don’t think that Koh is a monster and Jira is a blameless angel. Jira is toxic, too. And I even can believe that Koh in his own way loves Jira. But for Jira – ehhh... All I can see is sexual lust and desire to keep Koh as his Muse. Also they are both obsessed with money. After all one of Jira's first lines in the first episode is: "I'll do anything that pays". So who knows maybe they will live happily ever after. It’s just that I personally didn’t really care about that.
Last but not least – finally the official trailer for Only Friends Dream On is here. And it looks good.
Mix as a seductive manipulator, Earth looking gorgeous in glasses, my beloveds AouBoom being toxic and messy and hot as hell (that scene in the pool, wow... *fans self*), and Boston coming back to stir the pot even more. I already love it. 17th of February can’t come soon enough.

Spoilers here (and it all complaining).
Because really, they want me to, what? Cheer for Koh and Jira to be happy together? Feel sorry for Koh? I don’t feel sorry for a tech bro obsessed with AI, who still can’t understand why his lover, whom he professes to love so much, was angry at him about what he did. Koh still seems to think that this was just such a small thing and that Jira was overreacting. And he still blames everyone else for him being miserable. It’s never something he did, it’s always someone else’s fault.And that ending felt so empty and boring to me.
