Good things

Someone purchased Paid Account for 12 months for me. I saw the message today morning and it made my day. Thank you, anonymous benefactor. ♥ ♥ ♥

Work is still exhausting, but things are going well on the fanfic writing front and the drama watching front.

I broke my promise to myself and started Under The Queen’s Umbrella despite only 8 episodes being available on Netflix for now. And I watched all those episodes, and I’m so disappointed and impatient because now I have to wait for the rest of them. I really don’t know what else I expected. ;)

And I finally started watching Extraordinary You. I heard a lot of good things about it and it sounded exactly like something I would like. I watch it on VIKI where they have it as 32 half-hour long episodes. I enjoyed it from the start, but it took me a few episodes to become really invested. Around episode 8 I noticed that I really care now and I want Dan Oh to be happy. Yesterday I watched episodes 9 and 10 and it’s official now – I love it.

Kim Hye Yoon is amazing (and so tiny, especially next to all those very tall actors :)). And Rowoon is so pretty and adorable, and he has a lot of chemistry with both Kim Hye Yoon and Lee Jae Wook. That’s why I ship both Dan Oh and Baek Kyung with Ha Ru. And since I love M/M/F threesomes I ship Dan Oh/Ha Ru/Baek Kyung, too, of course. :)

And I saw someone once mentioning (on tumblr? on dreamwidth? I can’t remember) that Vegas would absolutely hate that he’s in the show called KinnPorsche. And now I want a crack fic about Vegas, who, like Dan Oh, realizes slowly that he’s a character in a BL drama. But he can accept that because surely he’s the male lead and that means Porsche is his love interest. And then he finds out that the drama is called KinnPorsche. :DDD

Last, but not least, Domundi (the company responsible for Cutie Pie) presented their lineup for 2023. I will write more about it on weekend, but for now I want to link to a trailer for The Next Prince with Zee and NuNew. It’s just a concept trailer, so there is no 100% guarantee that it will get made. And it looks pretty expensive to make, and Domundi is not a very big company like GMMTV for instance. But I so want them to make it. It looks so deliciously iddy – a fantasy and/or historical drama about a spoiled prince and his faithful knight. And Zee and NuNew both look beautiful and their chemistry is burning up the screen.

What? I've been drooling over that trailer for a couple of days. Also, today there were subs and it was somehow even hotter even though there are only 2 sentences in that trailer. XD

Have you seen Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai VS Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko? I had to ask after reading your Vegas idea. :D

[maggie33]

Isn't it super hot? I was instantly in love. But yes, there is no guarantee for a full drama. I guess there is a big chance it will get made since Zee and NuNew are very popular right now. But even if it will be made it could be like in a year or so. So I am hopeful, but expect a long wait anyway. :)

I watched the 1s season three times and the 2nd season twice. As you can probably guess I loved it a lot. :) This is the drama that made me fall in love with Inukai Atsuhiro.

:D

I'm planning on writing a journal promo for it sometime soon!

I LOVE Inukai Atsuhiro, such a talented actor. I was so excited to see that he was cast in KeiXYaku and then so disappointed by how difficult it is to access it. I think if it were even on Viki more people would have watched it.

Kim Hye Yoon is amazing (and so tiny, especially next to all those very tall actors :)).

Isn't she awesome!? I love her! (She's in The Secret Royal Inspector and Joy with TaecYeon, too. :D) So glad you're enjoying it.

My to-watch list is ridiculously long anyway.

I don't even GO here and I would read the hell out of that fic, ahahahah!

I can't wait to read it. :) And yeah, it's a bummer that there is no legal version of Kei x Yaku easily available. It's such a good drama, I wish more people watched it, too.

[maggie33]

I loved her in The Secret Royal Inspector and Joy. I wanted to see her in something else, so that was an additional motivation for me starting Extraordinary You. And it continues to be so entertaining and awesome. :)

[maggie33]

I would love to read this fic, too. I'm not that good at writing humor, if not that I would maybe try to write it myself. :)

Oh, right, I forgot you'd already seen that. (It's funny watching someone play an adult and then a high school student, isn't it? :D)

Heh, yes. But my main reaction seemed to be repeatedly "she's so tiny". Because she is. There were a few times when Rowoon had to lean so much for their eyes to be on the same level, and it always made me laugh. :D
