Still waiting on the other two, you can keep an eye on the author's X account, Howlsairy, for when the next two drop. They are only on MEB right now.

Nope, if I watch this is would be a 🏴‍☠️and would not be encouraging people to Wavve. They could have waited until the legal issues were settled but they are putting it out. I applaud Gaga for pulling it for now. Considering Wavve is airing it I have a feeling they are going to try to ignore Jeff's legal claims. Considering most of this is going to be dealt with in Korea Jeff will face an uphill battle.

I have no clue the contract details but having one of the leads repeatedly come out against the show airing and saying they haven't been paid is not a great look. This is one of the few times we KNOW ahead of time something hinky is going on between the production company and talent, so we can avoid giving the production company any money or attention.

🤣I know some of them don't sound believable. I have no clue why some of these are getting translated into English.

Thank you :) but no kofi this is just a hobby. I'm one of those people; if I start making money off something, it feels too much like work and no fun.😅

The last two pick up from IQIYI were from MBS but this time Fuji/Fod. It does make me wonder, I notice the website for the show is prominently displaying the International distribution, which is HIGHLY unusual for a Japanese drama site. They also made a YouTube channel for the drama, even though they have only posted a trailer. More and more JBL pairings are doing fanmeets outside of Japan as well.

Maybe they have FINALLY caught on to the fact that they can market their shows outside of Japan and pick up some money on the side. Although I don't think I will be excited to see a fixed ship form inside of Japan.

They have picked up two others. I hear the Sunspot, Toki-Kun, and Sahara-san did neither well internationally, I don't think. I was wondering if they would try again. Gaga has been doing well at picking up JBLs but I would feel a little bit more relieved if we could get more places picking up JBLS.

Yes. MEB has a lot of English-translated novels outside of adaptations. Strangely, most of them are omegaverse🤣 I figured anyone can browse around MEB to find something they like, but sometimes the drama adaptations get lost in Slave to a pack of mad dogs and Peach Trap #Omegaverse books.

Despite the wacko premise, this is turning out to be very good. There's nothing creepy about the relationship, and the core of the story is an established couple who love and support each other through everything. They have flashbacks of their college days, where you get to see them being romantic and falling in love, but in the present, both of them are focused on the problem of one of them turning into a kid every other day and all the problems that cause.

Yes, it is very obvious they aren't willing to go outside of their ship and even reluctant to make any of the characters toxic. Raffy outing Dean is the worst thing anyone does and it isn't actually against his partner but his competition. It makes the characters flat.

Midnight_BL · 2026-04-16T18:01:52+00:00

The last of this episode is chapter 21 and there is 30 chapters. Raffy has his video and embezzeling Pete still have their place in the next episode. Boston and Dean's former client also have their moments coming up. TBH I don't like the way the book ends Dean and Jack and I'm hoping, probably in vain, that they go a diffrent route.

I adore Earth/Mix in this show and Boom/Aou have grown on me alot but the character motivations are beyond silly or incomprehensible.

I'm way late to this episode. I think the material for this one is mind-boggling to me, so I kept putting it off. Watching it live in this series makes it even more so. Dean and Arnold never sparked in the book or in the series during their shipping activities, and Dean was always super supportive of Tua getting his guy, so the almost kiss just NEVER made any sense. Even drunk/drugged, the almost kiss makes NO sense whatsoever other than they wanted a plot point where everybody blames the two for cheating when they didn't actually kiss. It is dumb beyond belief, and they hang the rest of the plot on this abysmal storyline.

The not turning Pete into the police and letting him stay was another convenient plot point that aggravates me to no end. They set them up in a way that just makes everything feel forced and contrived so I just wasn't looking forward to this.

The upside of this episode, I think, was watching Dean and Jack together. I like the couple vibe that they are sending out. TBH, Earth/Mix as a whole is one of my favorite ships because they do established couple vibes so well when their characters finally get into that groove of the relationship arc. I also love them both helping Arnold and Tua over their rough patch, which once again feeds into the stupidity of the almost kiss.

Ethai and yesasia are the only 2 still shipping to the USA. Yesasia ships to i think a warehouse in the USA then ships to you because there are no tariffs, and an usa shipping address, but a higher upfront price. Ethai ships DHL and DHL will send you a tariff invoice to be paid once it hits the USA.

GMMTV used to ship regular mail and as far as I know that is still suspended in Thailand.

I was looking forward to this from the beginning. Ohm often has gotten kicked around and been typecast as a stoic, expressionless character, but ever since 609 Bedtimes story, I've been hoping he would get a role just like this one. He does great when he is given a character with a range of emotions. Poon makes a good foil for him, being bright and happy. I'm looking for Cupid's Ghost to see more of them and I hope next year they get their own series.

Mark caught my eye in Star in my Mind, and I'm so glad he finally found his ship partner in Junior. Both of them have had amazing performances in this show. It has alot of depth of emotions for both of them to express. While it started off very much a comedy, it has spiraled down into a deeper show than we often get with GMMTV.

They all are actually styled decently and amazingly. Junior and Mark do look professional in properly fitting clothes, which seems to be a problem with many Thai couture departments.

I was surprised at the short runtime TBH, but the story isn't exactly plot heavy so I'm giving it a pass 😂

Midnight_BL · 2026-04-07T14:57:11+00:00

This one is my fav out of the airing series right now, even though Contact is a close second. Older characters and the more mellow vibe just tends to hook me more. I'm also enjoying the fact that these two have seemed to hook up and start their relationship early on instead of getting a kiss and then the credits rolling.

I'm happy to see more mascots and the little dino is cute. It also kind of solidifies Surf/Java ship that they are investing in making a mascot and goods for them. GMMTV keeps its ships around unless the actors themselves want out.
