That was a bad week when it comes to my health. On Monday night I had to ask my sister to drive me to the emergency ward at the hospital (I think that’s what you call SOR in English?), because my blood pressure was through the roof and my poor heart was speeding up so much that I was afraid something was seriously wrong. Fortunately my heart was fine. So they stuffed me with medicine to lower my blood pressure and I could finally go home around 2 a.m.

I’m still not back to full health, and feeling weak and tired all the time. I went to the office yesterday and it tired me out so much, that I decided to work from home today. Thankfully it’s weekend and I can rest for a bit.

Also thankfully I have Nothing But You to cheer me up. I have only the last four episodes to watch. Poor me, what will I do when I’m done with it? 😉


Other good things that cheered me up


The last episode od A Boss And A Babe was full of fluff and happiness. It made me very happy. Our Skyy 2 ABAAB episodes were a bit silly, but there were a lot of cute and funny scenes, so I’m satisfied.

And the next week in Our Skyy 2 we have Bad Buddy on Wednesday and on Thursday the crossover between Bad Buddy and A Tale of Thousand Stars. Yay!!!!! And it will be the same a week later when there will be A Tale of Thousand Stars episode on Wednesday and another crossover with Bad Buddy on Thursday. I can’t wait.

Speaking of ABAAB apparently there was a trend on Tik Tok where people reenacted the scene from Zootopia when Nick tries to take a selfie and Judy interrupts him. And Force and Book did it too, and it’s the cutest thing. See for yourself here.

And speaking of Our Skyy 2 here is the official vid with the song from My School President episodes. Again it’s the cutest thing with three couples from MSP reenacting famous scenes from director Aof Noppharnach Chaiwimol’s three dramas – He’s Coming To Me, Bad Buddy and A Tale of Thousand Stars.

Multi Love


And last, but not least - Moonlight Chicken BTS for the 4th episode.

So the first scene First shot for this drama was that epic meltdown at the end of the 4th episode. Poor boy... 😊 But I love how Earth and Mix cuddled him afterwards. They are all so sweet.

I still haven’t watched the last episode of The Secret Romantic Guesthouse because I can’t tear myself away from Nothing But You, which is a constant source of joy and happiness and squee. I don’t know how that drama manages to do everything right for me, but somehow it does. At least it did for the 22 episodes I watched already.

Well, ok, I did tear myself away to watch Our Skyy 2: My School President, and it was the Multiverse of Cuteness indeed (that’s what they called it: The Multiverse of Cuteness 😊), and it made me laugh a lot.


Home School (the Thai drama about a creepy boarding school with Gun Atthaphan) has finished filming. People are saying that it may start airing in June. I hope it will, I can’t wait to watch it.


Kdrama trailers:

Woo Do Hwan’s new drama Bloodhounds.

It’s a noir action drama. It premiers on Netflix on June the 9th. I haven’t watch Joseon Attorney: A Morality yet, which is the first drama Woo Do Hwan did after he was discharged from military service. And I will one day. But that one looks more interesting to me. And it’s shorter. 😊


Two teasers for Taecyeon’s new drama Heartbeat:

One

Two

After the first teaser I thought that would be a serious drama, but the second teaser makes it look like a vampire rom-com. But still Taecyeon as a vampire? Sign me up. Dark or comedic – I don’t care. 😊 It premiers on June the 26th. Hopefully it will be on VIKI.


I nominated a few of my rare pairings for Rare Pair Exchange. I’m still not sure if I will sign up. I probably will, I miss doing exchanges, and my last one was Yuletide five months ago.


And now a few fanworks recs:

Fanart - Not Me: Sean, White & Black

Fanart – KinnPorsche: Vegas/Pete

Fanvid - Kim Nam Gil: Battle Royale (it’s a wonderful fanvid with Kim Nam Gil’s characters from The Fiery Priest, Island, The Pirates, Queen Seondeok, Through the Darkness, The Shameless, Memoir of a Murderer, Emergency Declaration, Live Up to Your Name, Hunt, Zombie for Sale, Shark, and Bad Guy)

A Boss And A Babe


Spoilers for the 10th episode, with two gifs (both a bit NSFW).My fluffy feelgood drama got seriously dark for a while there. I feel like it’s a bit too dark for a show like this one. Also lately I got used to understanding and supporting mothers in BL dramas, and mothers here are mostly horrible people. Gun’s mother is like an evil parent from a soap opera being all “stop seeing my son or else”. And Tian’s mother is horrible in too realistic way I didn’t sign up for when I started watching this drama. But ok, we’ll see how they will deal with it. And I’m perfectly fine with them spending as little time as possible on this subplot in the last two episodes. Just give me my adorable boyfriends being adorable and sweet and sexy.

Speaking of sexy boyfriends it’s time for two more kissing gifs from the last episode. 😊

I love you, P'Gun. ♥ ♥ ♥






Our Skyy 2: The Eclipse

The first part was a bit boring to me (apart from Kan/Thua scenes), but the second was cute and sweet and I loved it. And, surprisingly for me, it was a straightforward sequel to the drama, with no fantasy elements like body swap or time travel at all.

It’s Vice Versa episodes the next week, so I won’t be watching, but it will be My School President after that. I can’t wait to see Tinn and Gun and the rest of the gang again.


The Secret Romantic Guesthouse


Spoilers here, too.If they’ll kill Shi Yeol I will cry and cry. He’s my favorite, so please don’t do it, show, please. And based on the trailer there will be so much angst in the next episode, because Heung Jo will finally find out that Shi Yeol killed her fiancé eight years ago. Right now I really can’t see the happy ending for the both of them. I hope I’m wrong.


Nothing But You

It’s a Chinese drama about an age gap romance – older woman/younger man. I started watching it because I saw it described once as warm and cozy, but a bit boring. I ignored ‘boring’ and jumped on ‘warm and cozy’, because that’s what I like to watch right now. And after watching 4 episodes in two days I think you can safely say that I like it a lot. 😊

And it’s not even really that cozy for now, there’s angst and conflict, although nothing over the top, these are all realistic, everyday problems and complications. But I already care for our two main leads played so beautifully by Wu Lei (I think I’ll watch Love Like The Galaxy next for him) and Zhou Yutong.

Liang You’an is a 32 years old executive assistant to an important department head. She’s very good at her job, but she feels stuck in her current position. Her dream of promotion and transfer to another department dies down, because she made herself be so indispensable to her boss, that he doesn’t want to let her go and refuses to sign the transfer form for her.

Song Sanchuan is a 22 years old badminton player, who is going through a traumatic period in his life and that influences his performance on the court. They meet by chance, are instantly intrigued by one another, and then Song Sanchuan helps Liang You’an with a problem she has at work. And things start developing from there.

There are 38 episodes, so even with two episodes a day I’ll have something nice to watch for at least the next two weeks. 😊

I had to clean up my bookmarks again. So here have a post with links to trailers, fanvids and BTS vids I saved in the last few weeks.


Fanvid: Moonlight Chicken Jim/Wen - If you're ready


BTS vid - also for Moonlight Chicken, for the 1st episode.

It’s so cute and funny. Especially Mix having problems with the cat that really doesn’t want to stay in his lap. And I thought that kitty was so chill when I watched the drama. 😊

And I just have to say that if you want me to watch product placement scenes without fast-forwarding do it the way Moonlight Chicken did it - make it about cat food with beautiful men cuddling a pretty kitty.


Trailers:

Pray in Love - a Taiwanese BL drama. The original title “Qi An” literally means praying for peace in traditional Taiwanese culture. The drama tells the story of a romance between Officer Yuan, a policeman and Xian An, an illegitimate son of the rich Yang family. It looks like an angst fest. But no news when it will air for now.

Our Skyy 2: The Eclipse – the teaser for this week’s episode. I can’t wait.


Star Hunter, the company that made Big Dragon, presented their lineup for 2023. Here are the trailers that caught my attention.

Big Dragon The Movie - a sequel to the drama. It seems there will be flashbacks to how Mangkorn fell in love with Yai, intertwined with the post-drama scenes.

Sunset Vibes - the second MosBank drama. The guys who met through the dating app have a one-night stand, and then they meet the next day as the boss and the intern at the same company. Mos and Bank both look beautiful, their chemistry is great, and it looks like fun, a bit trashy, but entertaining.

Love Senior - a GL drama in university setting. It looks cute, with a lot of fluff sprinkled with a little bit of angst.

True Moon - it looks like a classic rich boy/poor boy antagonists-to-lovers drama. Could be fun.

AcadeX The Movie - a fantasy movie about a school for people with special gifts. It looks a bit of Harry Potteresque. There are four houses and the mysterious annual competition, and one student who’s the most special of them all. But he’s played by Bank, and I like him a lot, so I’m going to check it out. But according to this trailer the movie will not be airing until 2024.

Kdramas

The Secret Romantic Guesthouse

My loyalty kink is very well served by this drama. And my “kneeling to show loyalty” kink. This scene from episode 10 is like made especially for my id. Do you remember that scene from Guardian when Chu Shuzhi kneels before Black Cloaked Envoy? This is the scene like that one. No wonder I love it. 😊


Island

I finally watched more episodes of Kim Nam Gil’s new drama Island, after watching the first two episodes back in January. And I find it disappointingly mediocre. Kim Nam Gil is good and he looks beautiful dressed in black and being all angsty and tortured. But the rest is rather meh for me. The female lead makes me yawn, I don’t see any chemistry between her and Kim Nam Gil. And Cha Eun Woo is so pretty, but also not very good at acting here. Which is a bit surprising to me because the only other drama I saw him in was Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung and I liked him a lot there.

I still have five more episodes to watch and I will watch them for Kim Nam Gil. But I’m so disappointed that it’s not good.


One Thousand Won Lawyer

Nam Goong Min had a cameo as his character from One Thousand Won Lawyer in the 2nd season of Taxi Driver with Lee Je Hoon.

Here is the whole scene. It’s very funny, and it gave me craving to see both these wonderful actors in one drama. Please, make it so. 😊


BL dramas

A Boss And A Babe

It is still my perfect comfort show. I don’t read any reviews, because I gathered that it was not very popular, and I don’t want to hear anything bad about it. I love it to pieces and I can’t wait for the next episode. And I’m so happy there will be two additional episodes as the part of Our Skyy 2.


Our Skyy 2: Never Let Me Go

It was cute and entertaining, but nothing special. This week episodes for Star in My Mind air, and I’m not watching, because this is one of the two dramas from Our Skyy 2 that I haven’t seen. But I will be watching the next week, because it’s The Eclipse time. It’s mainly about Akk and Ayan, of course, but Kan and Thua will be there, too. Yay!


Our Dining Table

I was supposed to wait until all of it aired, but I got impatient and damn, now I have another drama that I love and that I have to wait each week for a new episode. Because it’s so adorable and warm and cozy and sweet. And I love everything about it. And Inukai Atsuhiro is wonderful as always. It reminds a bit of Old Fashioned Cupcake, in the sense that it’s also “food as a love language” drama.

It’s available on GagOOLala, three episodes aired for now.

RL is ehh. The situation at work is a bit better, but health wise – grrr... Perimenopause sucks. And my left arm still isn’t in a perfect condition. At least painkillers aren’t needed for now, so that’s good.

But my fannish life is great. Fanfic writing goes well. I wrote almost 4000 words of Big Dragon mafia AU. Yeah, I don’t know why either. 😉 But I have fun writing it. It’s not finished yet, it needs at least another 4000 words for that, I think, so wish me luck.

And I have two dramas that are my comfort shows right now: sageuk The Secret Romantic Guesthouse and Thai BL A Boss And A Babe. I love both so much and suffer when I have to wait a week for the new episode. 😊

And since I like making kissing gifs here have two spoilery gifs from the 6th episode of A Boss And A Babe.


See more







Speaking of Thai BLs the one I’m waiting for the most right now is Our Skyy 2. This is GMMTV’s anthology series that continues the stories of characters from eight other BL dramas: Tian and Phupha (A Tale of Thousand Stars), Pran and Pat (Bad Buddy), Khabkluen and Daonuea (Star and Sky: Star in My Mind), Nuengdiao and Palm (Never Let me Go), Cher and Gun (A Boss and a Babe), Talay and Puen (Vice Versa), Akk and Ayan (The Eclipse), and Tinn and Gun (My School President).

Each drama will have two episodes. And as far as I can tell these are not normal, realistic continuations. I watched only one episode from the first Our Skyy drama – the one about Pick and Rome from Puppy Honey. And that was a bodyswap story. The first two episodes of Our Skyy 2 are about Palm and Nueng from Never Let Me Go and judging by this short trailer there is time travel and a historical romance with role reversal here.

And here are two general trailers for the whole drama.

The first one from four months ago, which is just presenting all the couples, but in a really cool way.

The newest one, with a few snippets of the stories and with a little bit of bts stuff.

It starts airing the next week on April 19th.
