I've recently gone on an Asian BL Drama rampage and watched a TON of them. Of the ones I'd seen (or tried to sit through), there were ones that I LOVED above all others. To highlight them for those that are overwhelmed with which ones to watch, I've listed my top 5. Let me preface this post by saying I'm a fan of BL dramas that focus on deeper issues that have actual content rather than mindless fluff. They’re less 'cute' and more 'realistic' and have more ‘intimate’ acting and drama. Rather than ‘cute’ couples, I enjoy seeing intimacy between the actors that make me believe they’re really in love. We’re talking about small things like the way they hold hands, the way the hug, the way they kiss. I don’t like watching BL films where the actors are physically awkward around each other (such as when a kiss is clearly not a kiss… more like lips touching). Don't get me wrong, I'm a BIG fan of yaoi/shounen-ai manga and have been for a long time. But, it seems I have a hard time watching real-action versions of them. That being said, here are my top 5 so far! 5. Takumi-kun 5: Ano, Hareta Aozora (Japanese) I’m not gonna lie; Takumi-kun 1 was terrible to sit through. Sure the actors were cute but the acting was subpar and there was absolutely no intimacy between the actors. Takumi 2, however, was a pleasant surprise. Almost the entire cast was changed, and the acting suddenly got better. On-screen chemistry between the two main characters sky rocketed and kisses weren’t just a hidden thing anymore. Takumi 3, and 4 also proved to be awesome (with the same cast as Takumi 2) but Takumi 5 really took the cake in this series! The story was better (although 2 could give it a run for its money), and there were lots of kisses and intimacy in this one (early on too). I have now become an avid DaiMao fan (Watanabe Daisuke plays Gii and Hamao Kyousuke plays Takumi). 4. Permanent Residence (Hong Kong) This one tells an amazing story of a gay man’s love for a straight man. It also deals with the topic of mortality and is definitely worth the time. Although there isn’t much reciprocated romantic love, you can understand that the straight man has deep feelings for the gay man. This story (at least the romantic part) is very similar to Eternal Summer. 3. Antique (Korean) Funniest. Shit. EVAR. This one takes a spot simply because it was outrageously funny. The acting was top-class and the actors were hot, hot, HOT. Not that much BL going on but that’s not the main focus anyways. I’d read the manga and watched the anime years back. I finally got around to seeing this and it was definitely a top 5. 2. No Regrets (Korean) You can’t help but love the main character in this one! Difficult circumstances put him in a business he didn’t want to be in. A white collar falls in love with him and pursues him to the corners of the Earth. The ending had me scratching my head a little bit but it was amusing non-the-less. I LOVED the intimacy between the actors onscreen. There was no shyness here. 1. Eternal Summer (Taiwanese) The story of a childhood friendship changing into something undefined. I love the fact that it is left unclear whether there is mutual romantic interest, despite the AMAZING love scene. One clearly loves the other but the other still struggles with how he feels. All he knows is that he can’t live without the other. As a side note, probably one of the best love scenes I’ve ever come across in BL dramas, especially having watched the difficulties that they faced through the first half of the movie. My eyes were popping out of my head and my jaw was to the floor. I must’ve used an entire box of tissues to clean up the drool. The ending shot of them laying on top of each other killed it. The ones I have seen other than the ones I've already mentioned are: Bangkok Love Story Love of Siam Boy Meets Boy Right By Me Just Friends? Life is Beautiful (drama) Takumi-Kun Series Love 100 Degrees You Used to Smile That Way I plan to see: Amphetamine Lan Yu Like Grains of Sand Pair of Love REC The King and the Clown Do you have any recommendations for more BL dramas that I haven't mentioned yet? Again, I'm looking for intimacy between actors and good acting skills! On the flip side, if you haven't seen the five I mentioned, please do! They're SO worth it!

Good night, sleep tight my YO friends :hamtaro-005 (18):

@1978; ahha, cute although i haven't seen it I read it in livejournal

No not yet,, but is it the one with Misu Arata and Shingyouji Kanemitsu?

@1978; YES!!!! >___ also Gii is soo adorable expressing his love ^__^

Very good movie. It has both gays and lesbians, and hot kissing. I would recommend it to everyone on here. ;o}

@tuti~I have to agree, it sure was a good read from what i remenber. It was a really long time ago, but i can still remember that it made me angry,happy,sad,& relieved.I'll have to read it again. I always thought that it wasn't necessary to reread something in the past. It was enough if i fully understood the story & enjoyed a first time.But that was like 5-6 years ago and now I find it is nice to read a piece again,and I will most likely get more out of it. I realized that even I have changed & matured as a reader after a year, 5 yrs,etc. Its like a perpetual process i guess.I'm surprised at myself with how much i've forgotten or didn't "see" before. ooh, i'm rambling...sorry bout that,anyway thanks fo reminding me about that ol'goody:-)

Today I received my first volume of Castle Mango ) I love free delivery

Officially joined the gym today. Gonna try and bring sexy back! xD

@tuti Yeah, it is, just put them all in spoilers and an 18+ warning outside the spoiler. (:

A few cute pics I saw today ^_^

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS MOVIE! I watched it last year without subs because I couldn't really wait and even though I barely understood anything, it was super beautiful and touching! I tried searching for it again for a rewatch and luckily, I found the subbed one! http://www.1channel.ch/watch-2736269-Two-Weddings-and-a-Funeral It's amazing. Nothing more to say.

uhmm,, i think it was the first one,, where Hayama was on the cafeteria until to where Hayama finally told Gii why he have a human phobia

White chocolate.

Well, my favorite "dessert" is a bowl of chili dip sauce with chunks of carrots mixed with it. Now that is a real treat! :6onion72: Also like wasabi nuts. Yeah, I'm a spicy-freak, so sue me.

Anything with chocolate is fine for me - especially chocolate covered home made waffles :cuteonion41:

This is a nasty one but so hilarious xDD

Sakura Gari is a must! Either you like yaoi or not the story is a must read!

Interestingly, Mine are about the same as yours.. 5. Takumi Kun series: Pure I really loved the chemistry between the two main actors in this, and as much of an attitude the semi (Misu) had, you couldn't help but root for him, Shingyouji just loved him THAT much! Compatibility A+ 4. Antique I loved the actors, I love a good comedy, and the story was told is a creative way. I loved effects and editing in this movie Creativity A+ 3. Forumla 17 Hilarious is an understatement! I laughed so hard watching this, and still find myself popping this into my Blu-ray player when I'm in need of a good laugh. Comedy A+ 2. Eternal Summer Its just great! The ending was a bit confusing as to what he meant, It could be just the translation I saw. Overall Awesomeness A 1. No regrets The acting in this, The plot ( til the end anyways) all of it, blew my mind! I mean, The lady who played Jae-min's mother was to good at playing a B**ch! The women had all of 5 lines, and you hated her! The writing, the acting, everything really came together here. Overall Awesomeness A+

@✤Miharu✤ which one did you watch yesterday? I've also watched Takumi-kun 5 3 days ago n I looooved it

holy mother of.................................... *____*

Entering my Profile for the POTM Best of luck everyone! All the profiles look so shiny!

So um, I've always wanted to learn how to draw but I've never really picked up a pencil before until now. This contests has revived my interest in learning how to draw. Though this can't even compare to what many of you can do, I'll keep on practicing so I can improve! Description: My bishie is trying to cover/protect the lonely flower from the falling snow. Sorry I don't own a scanner and the one at the library is not working. Hope the quality is good enough. (I'll stop my babbling now ^^")
