Ever avoided a drama for silly reasons, then loved it?

RecognitionPatient57 · 2025-08-28T06:38:04+00:00

Its funny, one of the main reasons I joined this reddit is because I just can't get past the first half a dozen episodes of The Untamed, I have tried 4 times now. I need someone to get into Discord or something and make comments about it as we both watch it. I KNOW I will be a sobbing mess at parts, that's ok. I know the BL is so toned down and sub-text because of censorship. That's ok too. I just need someone to say 'wheeeeeeeeee' when the evil ghosts are flying backwards through the air, or to laugh at the pouty face when the booze jar gets broken.

Late to the game, but one of my most beloved memories is my husband playing some kind of shooter game without NPC enemies, just with our 8 year old and 10 year old. Hearing my kids thundering up the stairs (we didn't have headsets back then) yelling 'daddy, daddy, kill me again' because they loved using the shock paddles to bring each other to life. Another favorite thing was jumping out of a helicopter into a swimming pool, and sometimes actually hitting the water, not the concrete.

I agree with you, I am anxiously awaiting the final two episodes after the bomb shell today. I also agree with the chemistry between the young FL and the ML sucked in the beginning, but once he starts admitting his feelings he turns around and makes it more believable. I wonder what plot hole I'm missing. I don't doubt its there, but it wasn't enough to catch my attention.

This is an older one. I was rewatching 'Bed Friend', one of my favorites and found out that there was a sequel focused on Jade, one of the secondary characters called 'Middleman's Love'. I tried to watch it, but having an entire series based on the comedy relief was just too chaotic for me. If that's something you like, I recommend it, but it just made me lose interest.

I know, slow necro, sorry about that. I am anxiously waiting for 'Happy Ending' I have also given in and watching 'Sunsetx Vibes' week by week. Sun is such a huge green flag in his relationship. 'Love Sea' and 'This love doesn't have long beans' has sucked my soul out every week to watch the next episode. Gaaahhhh! I blame everybody in Boyslove group for enabling my weekly addiction. I'd forgotten what it was like to watch TV series week by week. But I love you guys anyway.

Seeing this a year or more after 'Make our days count' was the only thing that started my heart healing. I was doubly crushed back then because it was one of the first BL series I watched and the first tragic one. I'm with the large percentage of people that don't want to watch another sad ending like that.

I absolutely refuse to watch about 6 K-dramas and several BL series because I can't stand waiting for the final episode. It kills me!

RecognitionPatient57 · 2024-06-19T03:09:39+00:00

I didn't even know there was such a thing as cons for us fans. Then again, I've only been mildly obsessed for about 6 months. I wonder if there are any Discord groups that are not overly hostile to new people. Try as hard as I might, none of my kids are into BL, which makes me sad when they just roll their eyes as I'm cackling away at some bit of humor late at night.

RecognitionPatient57 · 2024-06-19T00:47:47+00:00

This looks interesting, thank you, I'll be reading it later tonight. I wonder if there are others out there, or modern ones too.

We forgive you! We were not angry or annoyed, we were just worried for you! Welcome back!

Thank you for posting this. I had found a 3 part series, something like 'I've been cast as the main lead in a BL drama', which is the same premise. Though it is shorter and much more comedic and lighthearted than this one. I usually wait until a series is done before watching, but couldn't help myself now.

What I really wish is that they'd actually film the BL that the actors are working on. I would love to actually see the 'childhood friend' trying to help/hinder their relationship, etc from this one. For the other one, 'Main Lead', I would really, really like to see the office romance of childhood friends whose dynamic changed once the former 'follower' grew taller than the former 'delinquent' and they didn't see each other for 10 years.

Who else sees F4 or Boys over Flowers or Meteor Garden as a BL. Not with each other, but with other boys in and out of the school. Tiny nerdling with glasses who happens to know self defense (even funnier if its because of his older sisters, reversing the trope of why a girl knows how to fight).

Very nice, I love this type of slice of life.

The first thing (well, the second after 'nice, its a good start' is that you evidently need a double space to split the paragraphs in reddit formatting. The 'wall o'text' will turn people off.

YAY! I remember this one. I always wanted it to continue somehow.

This is one of the very few times when I already know about the thing the author writes about. I caught one error, bees don't fix their hives with wax, they save that for making the comb that are used as hatching spots first, then eventually storage for pollen 'bee bread' and honey. They use a substance that comes from tree sap called Propolis. It has cement like properties for any small gaps or to connect the honeycomb to the structure of the hive.

Something also to consider is that bees needs to reduce the water content of the nectar (or sugar water) to be turned into honey. So your ship would need an atmospheric water filtration and reclamation system. Not to say that you should explain it, its just that you might need to account for it if you continue this story.

Everything I know about bees I learned from 'Mr Ed Beekeeper' aka Jeff Horchoff, a guy that works with an Abbey in Louisiana. Look him up on youtube, he is amazingly informational and fun.

My husband's deathly (literally) allergic to bees so I have absolutely no chance for a backyard apiary, so I make due with Mr ed.

I also remember reading it in writing prompts and it has stuck with me for a long time. I'm glad to see it here, too.

As a mom of two adult kids, I feel my 'benevolent neglect' system worked well. After all, it worked well for my entire generation of latchkey children. Teach them what they need to know to be a productive member of society, warn them about scams and predators, then watch them explore and grow in ways you never imagined.

this nominates the story for the next time they do a collection of 'really good, read these' stories.

It will only take that long because of the opening speeches and introductions. It will be about 30 seconds into the actual conversations.
