I haven’t written anything fanfic related in two months. I haven’t read any fanfic in that time, either. There were many reasons for that. I even wrote a whole sad rant about it, but then I got it out of my system, so I don’t need to post it anymore. 😊 Eh, whatever, I don’t care what other people do, I like writing fanfic. I will be doing it now and in the future, hopefully for a very long time. It relaxes me, and it brings me joy. Writing fanfic helped me during very hard times in my life. I wrote my one longish fic (that Big Dragon mafia AU) when I was tired and miserable because of work, and it helped me tremendously to have something else that my mind could focus on. And I even added something to one of my WIPs yesterday. Just 50 words, but hey, it’s a start.
Absolute Value of Romance
I enjoyed what I watched so far, it was funny, especially our heroine’s webnovel with all those familiar, OTT BL tropes thrown together in such an entertaining way.
But I’m thinking about maybe dropping it, since episode 8 makes it obvious that they will go in the direction I didn’t want them to go.
Only Friends Dream On
It really seems like drama for drama’s sake, because it was a 9th episode and we needed to throw a wrench in our couples’ happiness, I guess.
But episode 10 was much better. But first let me get shallowness out of the way - Pod looks so, so gorgeous, wow. And now I want his character to get together with Papang’s Dan from the 1st season. I hope someone will write this fic, because I don’t think it will happen in canon. 😊
But the best scene in this episode was definitely Nick and Boston’s conversation. Everything about it was so good. Nick’s “I don't think anyone could treat me worse than you did” to Boston, but said calmly, with maybe a tinge of wistfulness... And the look in Boston’s eyes – regret, a little bit of guilt, too, and a lot of aching longing for what might have been and what he himself destroyed. Neo’s acting was first class here.
And of course I loved little Ohm’s cameo as Nick’s new boyfriend.
Phantom Lawyer
I started to watch this show on a whim, and it was such a delightful surprise for me. A lovely and cute drama full of heartwarming and funny moments, with a lot of wonderful characters played by good actors. I loved it. I still have the last episode to watch, and I kinda keep postponing it, because I’m sure it will make me cry buckets.
And I will leave you with two very different trailers. First we have a new kdrama on Netflix (it starts airing on May 15) – a superhero comedy about three ordinary people that are suddenly granted supernatural abilities due to a mysterious accident. With a lot of actors I love, especially Park Eun Bin.
And then we have a historical fantasy BL drama from China – court intrigues, bloody power struggles, beautiful princes, a lot of fighting, and a lot of kissing, too. And since this is Chinese BL, expect heaps of angst and tears, and very probably someone dying tragically, too. And the secondary couple looks to be exactly to my tastes – full of loyalty kink and kinky NC scenes. 😊
It starts airing on GagaOOlala on the 8th of May. Here is the main trailer, and behind the cut I will put two other short trailers, one focused on the main couple, and the other on the secondary couple.

And that direction is a romance between Yeo Eui Ju and Ga Woo Su. I don’t care about their age gap, and I don’t really mind student/teacher romances. I just find it so boring. There were hints before, but I thought that maybe it will just stay as subtext. But no, it’s unfortunately fully textual now. She found him unexpectedly warm and caring when she was sick, and she starts daydreaming about him. He starts finding her entertainingly quirky and irrational, not just annoying. And the teaser for the next episode only shows more of that. Meh… If at least they would make one of the teachers canonically gay, not just in Eui Ju’s BL novel. But I’m pretty sure they won’t.Only Friends Dream On
Spoilers for episodes 9-10 here.
Well, that was a tempest in a teapot. Seriously, all this over what, one hug? Not even a kiss? Really? And I kinda get why both Tua and Jack would react like that after seeing this vid. But why Arnold and Dean didn’t both tell their respective boyfriends that a charged moment like this had happened? Especially Arnold.It really seems like drama for drama’s sake, because it was a 9th episode and we needed to throw a wrench in our couples’ happiness, I guess.
