2026 Mid-year QL Check-in
Tagged by: @fourthnattawats and kinda @outofthemouthsof lol
1. Number of QLs you’ve watched so far: 39 (not counting dropped, rewatches, and not counting July) (not all of the ones I am counting came out this year though, just new to me.)
2. Best QL you’ve watched so far? Ooh this is hard. My Romance Scammer, Goddess Bless You From Death, and Head 2 Head I think. Those have been the ones I felt they did a really good job with that I also just personally really loved. (And then for ones coming out right now, I already know these are some of the best to come out this year: Deep In the Act, When Oranges Fall, Edge of Horizon, and Ticket to Heaven, which just completed and was phenomenal.)
3. QL you want to watch but haven’t got around to yet? SO MANY. Love You Teacher and Melody of Secrets being the main ones at least for 2026 shows. Of course I have a never ending list of shows to watch.
4. QL that was the biggest disappointment for you? Ugh. Don't even talk to me about this. Dare You to Death and Reloved. Both of these I was so excited for the premises of them and so excited for JoongDunk to be in another action show! But both flopped so hard. They just fell so flat and got tiresome. I actually fully dropped Dare You to Death, which I very rarely do. It has to be so bad and/or frustrating to get me to the point where I'm like, this is not worth anything even to skim watch. I dropped a total of 3 shows this year.
5. Most anticipated for the second half of the year? Mr. Fanboy! And Be My Player Two. Police in Love too! And You Maniac. Aaaaaand probably more but I'm not sure which ones were said to be 2026 or 2027 (like Roommate Chaos, TwentyOne, Weirdo 101, The Spooky Love Tale)
6. Biggest surprise favorite new actor (debut or new to you)? BenJay - I just watched Caged Again this year, and I LOVE them! And I was ecstatic to see them in Fourever You 2! And TBH, JuniorMark, I did not get on that bandwagon until Romance Scammer. They're fantastic! And SkyNani - I also did not understand the draw in for them until I watched Wu.
7. Newest fictional crush? Oooooh. Okay, Fourever You Part 2 - Tiger, and My Romance Scammer - Tim. I want to say Head 2 Head J as well. (Also Barth (and KEEN!!) in Ticket to Heaven but that's a July finished show.)
8. Favorite QL that made you happy: Head 2 Head and My Romance Scammer. Fourever You too. It's weird bc I think about that show and I'm like, yeah it was fun but nothing special. And then I go watch new episodes or the special episode and I'm like OH YEAH! ACTUALLY! it's fantastic.
9. Favorite QL that made you cry: Ticket to Heaven 😭❤️❤️❤️
10. What QLs do you need to watch by the end of the year? Love You Teacher, Mr. Fanboy, Be My Player Two, Police in Love, You Maniac, Roommate Chaos, Weirdo 101, whenever any of these come out. Idk.
Tagging: I don't know who's played yet! So if you want to do it, do it!
