This is guaranteed to contain spoilers!
1. 40 Made ni Shitai 10 no Koto (3/12)
They are cute and Suzume was so happy and all smiling and enjoying his time. And damn Keishi without his glasses. With them he looks so good but without them he looks really sooooo good. The ending made me cringe a little bit, but I was prepared for that... I really like this series.
2. Ameagari no Bokura ni Tsuite 🇯🇵 (4/6)
I really enjoyed the talk those two had. I appreciate that Shinichiro was telling her the truth. That was good for her to let go and for him too, to be honest to himself. He needs this. This scene made me tear up and I was not in the mood for crying, but she cried and then he cried and before I could think about it, I was crying. Besides that the episode was hilarious and infuriating. I loved Kosuke this episode and really disliked Aya.
3. I Became the Main Role of a BL Drama Season 2 🇯🇵 (5/6)
This was the highlight of this episode. Him looking like that. This sounds so sad... and it is. This series is such a mess. Next is the final episode. Just get over with it...
4. Memoir of Rati 🇹🇭 (1/12)
It is just the first episode, so I have no clue if I like it or not. But I know for sure that the music is slightly getting on my nerves and every time this one song starts to play, I am reminded of Pearl Harbor... I don't like it when the music shouts at me: this is an important emotional moment! Feel it! Less telling, more feeling please. But Inn and Great look so pretty!
5. Perfect 10 Liners 🇹🇭 (8/24)
Yeah, I am still here. I don't know, this is not that catchy for me. Perhaps I find some time to finally move on to the next couple, but my weekends were stacked with social events and I didn't have the time...
6. Revenged Love 🇨🇳 (14/24)
I am so anxious about their upcoming divorce era! I don't want them to break up and hurt each other! I don't want ax evil ex messing up a new relationship. And I love Wu Suo Wei taking the initiative and kiss Chi Cheng first. I love how Chi Cheng gives in into this kiss. They can be so adorable! Don't hurt them.... please...
7. Sweetheart Service 🇰🇷 (11/12)
Hm. I guess I only watch it, because I want to support Strongberry and because the episodes are really short. The acting still is meh and the story is not good. And what is wrong with Su Yeon? I didn't like her from the beginning, but now she is only annoying. Really wish we get some progress next week. But in the end I don't know if this would make a difference.
Finished in July
Series
Boys in Love 🇹🇭
This was such a cute little show about coming of age and to find your way in life. At least for the first few steps. It is a highschool bl with a little bit drama, but I guess it is relatable. Deciding what to do with the rest of your life. Deciding what comes first, love or your work future. And what happens when dreams don't come true. What to do when plans don't work out and you have to find a plan B. I really enjoyed the communication and the mothers were great in this last episode. If you like My School President, than you might like this one as well. For me this is a solid 8 out of 10.
Depth Of Field 🇯🇵
I binged this one and that was the right decision. It is a bittersweet story about growing up and coming to terms with your own sexuality. It is a calm series with some strong characters. I didn't mind the time jump in the end, because it made sense. I was feeling so many emotions watching these two getting closer and parting again. A 7,5 out of 10 for me.

Dropped in July
The Next Prince 🇹🇭 (9/14)
Style without substance. At this point it just feels like a waste of time for me. The series looks beautiful, but the plot is so stretched out and so many things could have been dealt with in one episode. The characters are beautiful, but feel lifeless, like really beautiful puppets without a soul and a life. Sorry. I just don't feel it.
Looking forward to in July
