2026 Mid-year QL Check-in
thank you for the tag @embersinthefirelight!!
1) Number of QL's you've watched so far:
17 including 4 dropped and 7 currently watching. honestly better than i expected considering how terrible i usually am with sticking with shows
2) Best QL you've watched in 2026 so far:
muteluv: love me if you swear was just so perfect, it made it into my top favorite shows, and has one of the best kiss/sex scenes i have seen in a hot minute
3) QL that you want to watch but haven't gotten around to yet:
Wooju Bakery!! it looks like so much fun
4) QL that was the biggest disappointment for you:
Girl Rules unfortunately, i loved the premise but i feel like it didn't really commit to it, and the three couples felt very disconnected from each other. but hopefully i'll get to see all my girls again in shows i like more
5) Most anticipated QL for the second half of the year:
Wish Upon a Star looks so cute!!! also pahn and fond are both absolutely adorable so i am very much looking forward to this one
6) Biggest surprise favorite new actor (debut or new to you):
minlee has done an absolutely fantastic job as sun, 10/10 no notes
7) Newest fictional crush little bean:
phoon my little bean!!!!!! i don't really know what else to say, i just want to put him in my pocket. i have come to realize little bean is definitely one of my favorite character archetypes
8) Favorite QL that made you happy:
i'll do a tie with fake fact lips and fruit, love my tiny little shows
9) Favorite QL that made you cry:
i'm currently in a watching shows to get my happy vibes era, so i don't really have anything for this one
10) What QL's do you need to watch by the end of the year?
there are so so many i am halfway through and desperately need to go back to shine, clairebell, us, kinnporsche, duang with you, the bangkok boy, gel boys, so many stories so little time 😓 i should probably pick one to focus on at a time so i actually watch it
