Yuletide if here again, yay! :D Dear Author, there are a few prompts below, but if you have a different idea, go for it.

Treats are welcomed, I have the option to receive gifts on AO3 turned on.

( DNW )

(  GENERAL LIKES )


Explicit fics are welcomed, but of course not necessary. As you’ll see below I’m rather vanilla when it comes to smut likes. :)

SMUT LIKES

Hard, desperate kisses (especially neck kisses, hands around necks are my thing, too)
Possessive behavior (with “you’re mine” or “you belong to me” language)
Frantic sex with tearing the clothes off or still half-dressed
One person being naked and the other still dressed
Service tops
Rough sex with biting and marking
Manhandling
Overstimulation with characters being overwhelmed or begging for more
Coming untouched
Penetrative sex and non-penetrative sex are all good
Sex in the bed is great, sex on the table or in the chair, or on the floor, or against the wall, or in the shower is fantastic, too

Meet You at the Blossom

Jin Xiaobao, Zongzheng Huaien, Su Yin


Fandom specific DNW:
Characterization or worldbuilding elements from the novel
Su Yin/Shaoyu (if Shaoyu is in the fic, I’m ok with him having a one-sided crush on Su Yin)


I asked for the three of them, but I’m perfectly fine with a fic about just Xiaobao and Huaien.

If you’ll write the fic about three of them I’ll be delighted both with Xiaobao/Huaien & Su Yin, and with Xiaobao/Huaien/Su Yin threesome.

If you’ll go with the threesome – I want all the getting together fics, it can be post canon, or maybe the three of them getting together in a canon divergence AU I write about below.

Or a fake dating with Su Yin having to pretend to be Xiaobao’s jealous husband Zongzheng Huaien. Maybe some unhinged Shaoyu supporters (without Shaoyu’s knowledge) decided to get rid of a possible threat to Shaoyu being the future emperor, but they didn’t know how Huaien look like and kidnapped Su Yin by mistake, because they saw him being affectionate with Xiaobao. It can end with a threesome, or not – both options are good.

Canon divergence AU where Tongen didn't die and Huaien was raised in the palace as the Crown Prince. He probably would know Su Yin before Xiaobao then. Or maybe Su Yin was the one who introduced them and then really regrated it later. 😊 Or Xiaobao met Huaien by chance, mistook him for a beautiful woman like in the drama, promised to marry her and only her, and then Su Yin had to explain to him that yeah, that is the crown prince and not a beautiful fairy met in the woods.

Outsider POV – for the threesome or just for Xiaobao/Huaien. There are so many potential POVs to choose from and I would adore fic with every one of them: the Shadows, Jinbao, Zhaocai, Li Gongxiang, Xiaoyu, Que Siming, Xiaobao’s mother.

For just Xiaobao/Huaien I would love a post canon fic – give me fluff and/or smut, or Jinbao and Que Siming coming for a visit (and Jinbao and Xiaobao gossiping about their lovers), or a future fic and them dealing with teenage Xiaoyu. And I love weddings, so I would love to read about Huaien and Xiaobao dressed in red on their wedding day.

My Personal Weatherman

Segasaki Mizuki, Tanada Yoh

This is one of my favorite BL dramas ever. And I love these two and their complicated, messed-up, passionate, and very sexy relationship.

I want all the post-canon fics, but especially the first time Yoh says “Okaeri” at the door.

But I would also love fics about what was happening with Yoh and Segasaki during those three years between Segasaki’s proposal and Yoh moving in. What prompted Yoh to accept Segasaki’s proposal?

When did Segasaki get that tracker he put in Yoh’s bag? He had it ready at hand in episode 5. Did he buy it just in case? Did he use it again post-canon, because I think that he absolutely would.

I love outsider POV fics - Man-san’s POV would be great. Or maybe her husband’s. Did he ever have the opportunity to explain to Segasaki Mizuki that he’s not a shady editor who wanted to seduce Yoh? 😊

Or let’s say that My Favorite Idol manga got popular. Did it get a fandom? How does that fandom look like? I bet someone noticed that a handsome meteorologist from online broadcast Everyday Weather looked exactly like a main character from an indie BL manga, right? 😊 Or give me a crossover about a fan who writes fanfic about My Favorite Idol manga and Lion Heart RPF (the band from Bump Up Business). Or a fic with discussions from a BL dreamwidth community, or a BL discord.

Bump Up Business

Gong Jihoon, Kang Eden

I love this drama. It made me into OnlyOneOf fan. I think Nine and Mill are wonderful as Jihoon and Eden. And I love both of them so much – Jihoon who’s so cautious and closed off in the beginning because of scars he has from his previous relationship, and Eden who’s like a little ray of sunshine in Jihoon’s life.

I want them to be happy together forever, so I would love a post-canon fic about their everyday life – fluff or smut or both. I don’t mind some angst, for instance about the necessity of keeping their relationship secret if they want to be kpop idols, but only with a happy ending, please.

In episode 4 when Jihoon jokes about having a lover Eden says: “There were rumors about you in the past.” I would love a fic about that. What were those rumors about – Jihoon’s relationship with Hyunbin? Did Jihon have other lovers in the past?

And to steal the idea from real life – maybe Jihoon and Eden are offered the opportunity to star in a BL drama. How would they deal with that? Jihoon/Eden RPF shippers would explode for sure. 😊 You can make it a crossover with My Personal Weatherman and have this drama be an adaptation of Yoh and Man-san’s manga.

Outsider POV would be great, too – for instance from their manager Choi Dajung’s POV, or from Jay’s POV. Or maybe even from a fan’s POV. Again something about fandom would be great – excerpts from RPF fics, discussions on twitter or discord, tinhating.

The Time of Fever

Go Ho Tae, Kim Dong Hee

I loved Go Ho Tae and Kim Dong Hee’s subplot in Unintentional Love Story, which I watched first. But I love The Time of Fever even more. All that longing, love and desire, and meaningful glances filled with so many feelings filmed so beautifully, and bathed in a sensuous golden light.

Give me all the fluff, and post ULS fics, with them getting properly together. Have them be in love and happy and doing all the things happy couples do.

And give me all the first time fics – a first official date, first time having sex, telling the family, moving in together.

Or canon divergence AUs with them getting together earlier, maybe right after Dong Hee came back from Seoul. Or Ho Tae getting a clue earlier about what he really feels for Dong Hee, and going after him to Seoul.

That second kiss at home – what if something more than just a kiss happened. How would they deal with that?

Outsider POV – especially from the POV of Ho Tae’s mother. I felt like that scene in the last episode of Unintentional Love Story between Dong Hee and Ho Tae’s mom hinted at mom knowing that there is something more than friendship between her son and Dong Hee, and being sort of accepting about it? Or maybe one of Ho Tae’s girlfriends realizing why he’s such a lousy boyfriend. And then meeting Ho Tae and Dong Hee together later when they are a happy official couple.

Arthdal Chronicles

Saya, Eunseom

Complicated and fucked up, but still full of feelings, sibling relationship are like catnip to me. And Saya and Eunseom’s relationship is like made for me. So messed up, and filled with all this complicated love, and tragedy and suffering and pain. And I loved all the angst in canon, but now I just want to see them both happy.

I will be very happy with both gen fic and incest fic. If you’ll go with incest, I have no problem with AU where their sexual relationship starts when they are both teenagers, but I don’t want them to be younger than 15 then.

I also like Saya/Eunseom/Tanya threesome. I like Tanya a lot, too, so if you’ll go with Saya/Eunseom just have her be single, or get together with Yangcha for instance. Or with Karika Xabara – that would be wonderful. 😊

I would love AU where they were never separated and were raised together either in Wahan tribe or by Tagon in Arthdal.

Or AU where Tagon loses much earlier. Where Saya and Taealha’s rebellion was successful with Nunbyeol managing to kill Tagon. Saya says to Tanya in episode 7 of The Sword of Aramun: “We’ll kill Tagon, take down Taealha, and we, the three children of the prophecy, will take over the world.” So I want this, I want to see Saya, Eunseom and Tanya ruling together.

We find out in the last episode that Eunseom looked for Saya but couldn’t find him. So I want AU where Eunseom manages to find Saya. They share dreams after all, so maybe Eunseom saw Saya in his dreams again.

This is the fandom where I do request modern AUs. Have Tagon be a powerful CEO and Saya his adopted son, and Eunseum his long lost twin, and their war is about the succession. Or make it a competition between two companies Arthdal and Ago with two brothers on the opposite sides. Or mafia AU with a war between two gangs.

I’m still pretty busy, but I should have more free time starting the next week. And good, because Yuletide singups are open, and I really should finish my letter. And maybe try to shorten it a little? Because it already has 1400 words divided between five fandoms. But I think one of those fandoms definitely needs more words, not less. And I’m deliberating now if I want to add the sixth fandom. And I have to sort my offers, too.

And here have a few recs, and other good news, so I can clean up my bookmarks a little.

Two great fanvids for The Time of Fever:

Love, Maybe

Unconditionally


The 2nd season of Tengu No Daidokoro is currently being filmed and here is the link to Instagram with a few BTS pics. And yay – Yui is there, too. And Motoi has his cute little wings. 😊


And now trailers for dramas I’m impatiently waiting for.

Love in the Big City

It’s a kdrama based on the novel by Park Sang Young. It premiers on October 21. Don’t know if it will be available legally for international audiences, since there is no news about it being on any of usual streaming services yet. But I plan to watch it anyway. I'm sure there will be some way to do that. 😊

Pluto

It’s GMMTV’s GL drama with Namtan and Film. And it looks good. And a bit like a female version of Not Me. It starts airing on October 19. I can’t wait.

Two lovely fanvids for Ho Tae and Dong Hee (spoilery for both The Time of Fever and Unintentional Love Story):

Since We Were 18

Why Did You Leave Me?


Won Tae Min singing the song from The Time of Fever OST: What If. He’s not only beautiful and a very good actor, he can sing, too. 😊


Sugar Dog Life

So good, so charming and so fluffy – I love it a lot. I’m very sad that the next week is the last episode. I wish it was at least a little bit longer.


First Note of Love

I posted about the trailer for this drama in July. And I’m happy to report, after I watched the eight episodes that aired for now, that it’s very good. It’s available on Gaga and VIKI, and there are four more episodes to air.

It’s a Taiwanese BL about a famous singer Neil, who stopped performing a few years ago because of trauma caused by a personal tragedy, and Sea, a student, who’s also a talented musician and a big fan of Neil. They start working together because Neil’s agent thinks this is a way for Neil to overcome his anxiety issues and stage fright and return to performing.

It’s an age gap pairing – Neil is 27 years old, Sea is 19 or 20. And it’s not really grumpy one/sunshine one pairing, it’s more grumpy one/a bit less grumpy one. 😊 I love them, it’s mine kind of pairing, and both actors are good and have nice chemistry.

But as it happens often with me, I love the secondary couple a little bit more. And here I have a very important question to ask Guardian peeps in my dreamwidth circle: do you want to see Lin Jing kissing boys? Because now you have a chance. 😊 Lin Jing’s actor Liu Min Ting plays Neil’s agent Reese, and he’s one half of the secondary couple. And let me tell you – he looks so good here. I didn’t even recognize him at first. I thought he looked vaguely familiar, but only when I checked the mydramalist page I realized it was him.

I’m putting two promotional images behind the cut – one of Reese looking very handsome and hot, and one of Reese with Thai singer Orca, who’s his love interest.

See more.

The official trailer for GMMTV new BL drama Kidnap.

It looks good. Ohm Pawat is hot, and he has great chemistry with his new acting partner Leng. There is also baby Ohm (Thipakorn) playing Ohm’s little brother and looking very cute, and Papang playing a villain again (I think?), and looking very handsome while doing so. It starts airing on September the 6th.


The teaser for the Japanese version of Love In The Air.

I don’t hate Japanese Phayu on sight – that’s a good sign. 😊 And Naguma Shomo looks very hot. The teaser doesn’t have English subtitles, so I wonder if the drama will be available for international audiences. I read that it should start airing in November, so I think I’ll have time to at least start watching the Thai drama before that. I decided that I wanted to try after all, especially since I’ve heard that Love in the Air was basically Mame lite. So who knows, maybe it won’t be that bad. 😊


Mon and Pak (Wayu and Jao from Two Worlds) will be the leads in a new BL drama Doctor’s Mine. Yay, I’m so excited. I loved them in Two Worlds, and I’m excited to have a show where they are the main couple. Just look at them being all cute and hot:




There will be another costume Chinese BL called The General’s Son (Jiang Jun Jia De Xiao Er Zi). From what I could find on tumblr it already finished filming, and here is the synopsis:

Li Jianwei, young master of General Li's, is as beautiful as jade and spring flowers. One day, he went to the Wei mountain to seek revenge. Chen Xiaoxi, a person who was pure but was killed unjustly and became a devil. What will happen when these two meet on the Wei mountain?

I don’t know where and when it will air, but according to MyDramaList it has 24 episodes. I wonder how long the episodes will be. But the posters and photos of the actors look great, so I hope it will be available with English subs somewhere.


Last but not least – a few days ago I posted my first Meet You At The Blossom fic (for details see below). And I already almost finished the first draft of my second fic. Yay, me. 😊

Xiaobao keeps saying his name, repeating “Huaien, Huaien...” in a hushed, pleading voice while Huaien tears Xiaobao’s robes off, and then makes a quick work of his own clothes.

The first time they have sex after their reunion.

RL is so annoying lately – a lot of tiny problems that tire me so much. Do I really have to deal with a shower head that stopped working and a leaky toilet at the same time, life, really? Add a few problems with my new phone, too. Urgh... I consider myself lucky that I fell in love with Meet You At The Blossom so hard. At least I have this cute, funny, angsty, emotional and pretty drama to help me unwind. You bet I’m in the middle of another re-watch. 😊

And good news is that I finished the 1st draft of my first Huaien/Xiaobao fic. Yay! Now it’s needs some editing (but not that much, it’s nothing complicated, just 2000 words of porn with feelings 😊), and it will be ready to send for beta-reading.


And I have fanworks recs. Three fanvids first, all Huaien/Xiaobao:

And not MYATB stuff is about two upcoming Japanese BL dramas I’m interested in.

The first one is the Japanese version of Love In The Air with Naguma Shomo as one of the leads. I loved Naguma Shomo as Kazuma in At 25:00 In Akasaka, he’s hot and charismatic, so on the one hand I would love to watch this drama. On the other hand it’s Mame, and Mame’s id is like my anti id, so I don’t know. But on the third hand Japan is really good at making stuff with problematic tropes in a way more aligned with my id, so who knows I might even like a Japanese version of Mame. 😊

The other drama is Love Is Like A Poison. It’s about Ryoma, an elite lawyer, and Haruto, a brilliant con artist, who becomes business partners and start living together. It premieres in Japan in September. Here is mydramalist page for this drama.

Actors look good together and the summary sounds like my thing. I really hope it will get the international release, too. And if not then let’s hope that some kind fan will make fansubs.


Oh, one more thing – Guardian Wishlist fest started posting wishlists. Woohoo! I have to sit down one day and take a look at them. Maybe something will spark joy and summon a plot bunny or two. I miss writing Guardian fics. 😊

Ahhhh, it was wonderful and I loved it. 😍 I have to go out now and will be back late in the evening, so I’m just quickly writing down a few thoughts behind the cut.

Spoilers here.

Huaien in black! I love that look on him. And I’m glad we got it here, since it seems he will be back all in white in the next episode.

And Su Yin is in his villain era, being all controlling and making decision for Xiaobao without listening to what Xiaobao wants. It seems men who like Xiaobao also like to knock him out when they don’t want to hear him arguing anymore. My poor baby... 😊

And I still can’t tell if the drama wants me to think that Su Yin has romantic feelings for Xiaobao and represses it deeply, or if the only feelings he has for Xiaobao are purely brotherly. I read that in the novel he only cares for Xiaobao like an older brother. So maybe it’s just the case of Su Yin’s actor Li Junliang having inappropriate romantic chemistry with Wang Yunkai. 😉

And aww, it looks to me as if Xiaobao already forgave Huaien. His mouth says ‘no’, but his heart already said ‘yes’. ❤️

And everything about that talk when Jinbao admitted to liking Siming was hilarious. Especially poor Zhaocai rolling his eyes about having to deal with two love sick fools now. And Jinbao dreamily saying how handsome Siming is, and Xiaobao instantly asking “Can he compare with Huaien?” I laughed out loud, which was very welcomed during watching this very tense episode.

This is the best news ever: My Personal Weatherman manga will have the additional 7th chapter to be released on Japanese online manga platform CMOA on August 18. Here is the twit by the author Taino Nikke with a lovely cover pic. Please, please, please, let it mean that maybe there will be at least a post-drama movie with Higuchi Kouhei and Mashiko Atsuki in the future. Because I don’t dare to dream about the 2nd season.


There are four more days till the next episode of Meet You At The Blossom, and there’s only so many times you can re-watch existing 10 episodes. And believe me I’ve re-watched them a lot already. So I’m trying to distract myself by watching Snowafall – a vampire cdrama set in the Republican era. And it works a little bit. Because I love vampires, the Republican era, and age gap relationships. And the main villain is gorgeous and I love watching him being menaced by our male lead. I watched seven episodes for now, and I find it very entertaining.


And now something about two new non BL GMMTV dramas.

Since I’m on the lookout for a Monday drama to watch, I checked the 1st episode of Summer Night with a few familiar faces in the cast – mainly Phuwin, Dunk and Lookjun. I had very low expectations before watching, after all it is a high school drama where the main plot seems to be a teenage love triangle. But I was very pleasantly surprised.

The 1st episode was pretty good, and very cute. The female lead Star played by newbie Parn is super adorable, Phuwin and Dunk both look so pretty, and their characters are interesting, too. (and I admit that I ship Lune and White a little, Phuwin and Dunk have nice chemistry, and Lune and White’s friendship started with an accidental kiss. 😊). And there is a cute secondary m/m couple. And maybe there will be a f/f couple, too?

Spoilers here.

Since Lookjun’s character Ivy clearly has a big crush on Star, and I really hope she will get a girlfriend later.

So that’s another enjoyable watch for me, and for now I do plan to watch the rest of the episodes, too.

And here is the trailer for Peaceful Property with Tay and New as leads. It’s a comedy about friendship and ghost hunting. There are a few other familiar actors in the cast – most notably for me Force and Book. They have one tiny scene in the trailer, so I don’t know if they will be there as secondary characters, or if it’s just cameo. But still the trailer looks entertaining, and I will watch at least the 1st episode. It starts airing on August 28.


But yep, can’t have a post these days without something about Meet You At The Blossom. 😊

A rec first: Dynasty - a lovely Huaien/Xiaobao fanvid.

And usually the only AU fics I read are canon divergence AUs. I’m not saying I never read other AUs, I do sometimes especially when the fandom is small and I’m starved for fanfic, or if I trust the author. Right now when it comes to MYATB fanfic I want all the fics in canon setting. Fix it, angst, fluff, smut – give me all of it and I’ll try to read it.

But then I see pics of Li Le and Wang Yunkai looking adorable together, like this for instance:



And I think now I also want all the modern AUs, too? I might have started writing one already, oops. 😊 This is the third MYATB fic I started writing. Brain, I would really appreciate it you could focus on finishing at least one fic before getting distracted by a shiny new idea, ok? 😉

♥ ♥ ♥ It was intense, and beautiful, and painful. We’re still in the ‘ouch, ouch, my heart hurts’ phase. And the next episode will have more of that pain and suffering – I saw the teaser, I know what to expect. But bring it on, give me all that delicious angst. 😊

Spoilers here.

So yes, Huaien is the Emperor’s son. But he doesn’t want to have anything to do with the court and his biological father. He only wants to save Xiaobao.

And, as far as my viewing experience goes, that is really rather unusual for an Asian drama - the emperor being a decent guy, and wanting to make up to Huaien for being abused by the second prince in the past. And then not stopping him when Huaien said ‘no, thanks, and fuck you’.

And of course everything about Xiaobao and Huaien and their beautiful, fucked up relationship was so, so good to me.

Like Xiaobao taking off his matching hairpin and throwing it away. And the pain in Huaien’s eyes when he saw that.

But also, damn, Huaien is just so... He really was convinced that Xiaobao would instantly forgive him if he just appeared in front of Xiaobao wearing the hairpin Xiaobao gifted him, and saying in a soft voice that now he knows how to love, now he loves Xiaobao, after all Xiaobao only lost some money, what does it matter, after all Xiaobao promised that he would forgive Huaien no matter what Huaien did wrong. Because Xiaobao did something wrong and Huaien forgave him. Because getting drunk in a brothel is exactly the same as destroying someone’s family according to Huaien. Wow, and I’m saying this with all my love, is that boy damaged...

And of course he resorted to violence as soon as Xiaobao said ‘no’ and lied that he doesn’t love Huaien.

And of course Xiaobao lies that he doesn’t love Huaien, he throws these words into Huaien’s face because he knows it will hurt him. But he’s so scared when it looks like Prince Shen might kill Huaien. And he makes a choice not to use the poison Prince Shen gave him, and later he burns it.

And I do love the scene with Huaien realizing how badly he fucked up, and that his actions didn’t just cause Jin family to lose money. It caused Xiaobao to be tortured and poisoned, and now he’s in so much pain, with only the tiny chance for recovery. That shocked, anguished look on his face when he was looking at Su Yin taking care of Xiaobao, at Su Yin putting his cloak around Xiaobao’s shivering body, at Su Yin saying: ‘you did this to him, it’s all your fault’.

And ahhh, that scene with Huaien just lurking unnoticed outside and checking up on Xiaobao, and smiling slightly when he heard Xiaobao laughing and having that moment of happiness with his family. Even if that happiness doesn’t include him.

I still didn’t have time to re-watch episode 7 properly on my laptop, because I came back from Warsaw earlier today just in time to watch episode 8. So here have my impressions for episode 7 written yesterday after watching. And my fresh reaction to episode 8. Be warned – it’s mostly screaming and crying. 😉

Episode 7

Ouch, my heart. It is a cdrama, all right.

Spoilers here.

So much angst, so much suffering. My heart was stomped upon and everything hurts. And I’m eating it up with a spoon. 😊

My poor, poor Xiaobao... That was the worst birthday ever. His family got destroyed, he got tortured, and he’s convinced his beloved betrayed him and left him to die. And he still tries to reach out to him even when he’s out of his mind from pain.

And my poor little meow meow Huaien… Of course what gives him strength to break up his chains is his obsessive love and his possessive jealousy over Xiaobao. As soon as he heard that Xiaobao was with Su Yin those chains didn’t stand the chance. 😉

And the way Huaien screamed when he woke up in chains again and realized that this time he couldn’t get out of them to go to Xiaobao. There was so much pain on his face, and his anguished scream made my heart hurt.

And Su Yin is wonderful, and I love him. He’s a good person and a good friend.

And finally, finally we meet the second half of our secondary couple – the miracle doctor Que Siming, Jinbao’s love interest. It was the great first impression. I like him already.

Episode 8

Aaaaaa!!! How can you end it here?! And now I have to wait another six days? That is unacceptable.

Spoilers here, too.

Yes, they have a connection (like a cultivation connection, maybe, I’m not sure, I don’t watch a lot of wuxia dramas) – Huaien feels when Xiaobao is in pain.

And Xiaobao tells himself that he hates Huaien now, my poor baby...

“That’s the last time I think of him. He’s not worth it.”

Ouch, ouch, ouch, it hurts so much. Don’t make Xiaobao suffer anymore, show, I’m begging you. I can’t stand to see tears in his pretty eyes. I want him to be happy and carefree again. Even though he can never go back to how things were before, after all this.

And our secondary couple looks promising. And they have some sort of connection, too. I think it’s a childhood connection. After all Siming recognized Jinbao’s voice before he even saw him. And Jinbao doesn’t recognize Siming at all, but he recognized the bracelet he saw in our dear doctor’s things.

And oh wow, Crown Prince Shaoyu is a spoiled brat. Xiaobao was spoiled, too, but he was also kind, sweet, and caring. Shaoyu is arrogant and selfish. He can disappear for all I care. I really hope him and Su Yin aren’t the endgame third couple. Su Yin deserves better.

And OMG that last scene... They are both finally in one place again. And Huaien is wearing his matching hairpin Xiaobao gave him. 😍

I’m sure Huaien has a secret plan how to outsmart his asshole father, but will it succeed? At the same time there are only four episodes left. Not that much time for solving all the problems before a happy ending. Apparently the novel has a happy ending, so I hope the drama does, too. I want that wedding. 😊

RL is complicated.

Complaining about health related problems here.

It’s nothing life threatening, but they pile on lately and it makes me so tired. My heart is fine – that’s one good thing. But chronic tension-type headaches and a lot of horrible and/or annoying perimenopausal symptoms are hard enough. Hormone replacement therapy would probably help for that second one, but I can’t take it, because a risk for breast cancer is too big in my case. And now, in addition to all that, I have to deal with rehabilitation for tennis elbow, too. Thanks a lot, life, really. *sigh*

I think that’s why I fell so hard for Meet You At The Blossom. It’s my escape from real life problems. It’s so over the top and as far from anything resembling real life as it can be. It’s great for me right now. But hey, I watch other dramas sometimes, too. 😊


The Rebound

Just like I predicted episodes 9 and 10 were all about high school drama. So boring to me.

A few minors spoilers here.

I would be more interested if the show gave me coach Ton/director Aun. But no – director Aun has a wife and kids, boo. Or if the show gave me throuple ending with Ryu, Zen and Atom, instead of a standard boring love triangle.

Well, I guess for me it will be another Thai BL which had entertaining eight episodes and went boring in the last four.

The Trainee

I never mentioned before that I also started watching OffGun’s new drama. And it’s ok. Nothing special, but a nice enough watch on Sunday evenings. Gun looks very beautiful, Off looks super hot (and his character is actually pretty cool, and much better than it looked like in the trailer), their chemistry is still there, and the plot is mildly interesting, and hasn’t made me press a fast-forward button yet. Good enough for me for now. 😊


Sunset x Vibes

I’m afraid this drama is losing me. I might even drop it. Because even my love for Mos and Bank can’t keep me entertained. The 6th episode was so boring, and oddly paced, and badly edited. Yes, I fast-forwarded through a lot of it. It’s a bad sign. It still could improve of course, but I don’t know, I’m not feeling very optimistic.

More with spoilers here.

I don’t like daddy kink, so every time Salin calls Sun “Khun Dad” it’s like a bucket of cold water over my head. I can’t even find their kissing sexy with that in the background.

Right now I’m mainly watching only for the secondary pairings, and especially Sam and Yo. Damn it, Sam, just tell him who you really are. Yo will feel betrayed anyway, but it will be so much worse the longer you put it off. I think that probably, for maximum drama, Yo will find out in some other way that Sam isn’t just an ordinary guy, but a super rich brother of their CEO, before Sam will have a chance to confess. And then there will be so much angst.

I write a little, too. I have 800 words written of my Meet You At The Blossom fic. And a few days ago I posted my Jao/Wayu fic for Two Worlds.

Summary:

Jao yanks Wayu by the shoulders to haul him close. And he kisses Wayu with all the passion of his newly discovered feelings. Wayu’s mouth is unresponsive at first, motionless against his. Then his lips part, a tiny fraction, but even that is enough to inflame something new and bright, something so beautiful in Jao.

Their first time in episode 9 from Jao's POV.
