A Man Who Defies the World of BL

Really funny.

Even tho i'm not a fan of irrealistic stories i wanted to give it a try on this drama, and it was really the best thing to do cause i laughed for two seasons. The story is a bit superficial and there are a lot of filler episodes with multiple side stories that are really fast, but one thing that i liked is how in the future thoose side stories mix with the main one. For the acting, the way over the line story and reactions that i usually dislike here made me laugh really hard, even tho sometimes i got a bit of second hand embarrassment. Overall, it's a good drama, so if you want something simple and comic to just relaxate and laugh on absolute bl it's the perfect drama.

So close!!

The first 3/4 are perfect. The show explores fantastically the cliche scenarios para only happen in BLs time and time again. I love the fact that our protagonist is such an extra that he doesn't even have a name, he's just Mob. The fact that he's the only one aware that this is a BL world makes everything funnier.

I don’t hate the ending. It makes sense for the protagonist to end up falling for a guy. But it would have been so nice to actually see him escaping all the tropes and be alone in the end, judging everybody around him. Or at least have him fall for a guy without it being connected to super cliche, like what ended up happening.

You can't escape what fate writes for you!

Three pecks on the lips in a Japanese BL is crazy?! I never thought I would see the day. Granted, all kisses were staler than an opened pack of 8-week-old airplane almonds.

The acting is brilliant! I thoroughly enjoyed how animated his expressions are and the drama he brings to everyday situations. The tears for his brother, the overthinking invitations to hang out, the accidental aiding of a Kikuchi getting bullied, and all to avoid being the recipient of a love confession; amazing. Mob smelling people to try and find Mr. Right was pure comedy! Eating the chocolate making him realize all he'll lose in his fear of gaining, 10/10.

This BL is bursting with tropes, as it should be, and one of my all-time favourites is interlacing fingers for the first time! I'm sorry, but there is a level of tender affection delivered in the small moments that simply can't be replaced by the big confession scenes or passionate make-out clips. God, I had forgotten how cringe some tropes are! The kiss to "wipe" off food from someone's lips, I can't do it! The second-hand embarrassment is real.

I like the sentiment that everyone is the main character of their story; you can't be the 'mob' if you fight to be invisible. Besides, even if you are a background actor, someone will still find you irresistible. Also, the irony of the main character being called Mob isn't lost on me ><.

Surprisingly good. Made me want more...

I've already watched nearly all the good dramas. So i picked this up thinking it was not a BL.😅 My assumption was it's a drama with him avoiding guys and nothing else but then i realised we had side couples😭. Everytime a side couple appeared i wanted more of each of them😭😭😭 can we get a complete drama with the otheer couple's stories...
Then i was like no way Mob is gonna end up with someone but then kikuchi got him🤭🤭 not complaining but i kinda wanted mob to end up with the white flower guy from the bar..
It was surprisingly good. Although i read the next season summary that kikuchi dumps mob for his ex🙄

To be honest I really enjoyed it .it was really fun to watch i know some of you guys wouldn't agree with me but im gonna write it anyway because it's killing me i don't think I'm gonna re-watch it because i don't think kikuchi was complimenting "mob" i mean i almost dropped the second season because i didn't like them together.. i was really happy when i found out he was gonna have a partner but i wished it was kikuchi.. really don't like them together.. maybe if there was different actor who played kikuchi i would've rewatched it . At last it was really fun to watch but i don't think i like the person who played kikuchi...that's my problem or else i think the drama itself is great.. waah it feels great writing a review..(^._.^)/

Hilarious, witty and sweet!

Goodness the amount of times I've laughed because of this series, it's uncountable!!! I can't believe that this didn't get on my path earlier!
The maincharacter is hilariously and painfully aware of himself and I love this so much! I also love the beautiful and talented ensemble cast and I especially love that yk, the MC isn't even homophobic, he just doesn't want to become one of those cheesy main characters in a BL manga, which is fair.
I also love the opening credits: the dance and the song are so addictive!!!
If you're a BL fan you'll certainly recognise the many tropes that are present in this series that are being put upside down and be able to laugh at the absurdity of it all.
So, go watch it! (I found it on daily motion ;) )

Hilarious and Fun Show

This show tells the story of a “straight” man who discovers that he was living in a BL world. All around him are boys falling in love and BL tropes happening. However, despite all of this, he is determined to find himself a girlfriend. The story focuses on him trying his best to escape all BL tropes and not become a “main character”

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT
- The premise of the show is so unique that I absolutely loved it. I haven’t seen anything like it before and the show delivers on their promise perfectly.
- The acting is absolutely hilarious. The MC really goes through a lot of emotions and he depicts them perfectly. Tropes that we might have found super romantic in another show just seemed hilarious in this one because of the MC’s reaction to it.
- I really like the MC’s little brother. He’s really cute and his romantic story is hilarious because he has 3 people pining for him.
- This show is extremely funny because it applies BL logic to real life and the MC is a normal person witnessing all this and trying to adapt. I like how he can write out a BL story in his head just by seeing someone for about a few seconds.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT
- I really didn’t like the MC’s love interest because first, there is no build up, just instant fall in love. And that love interest kisses another guy in season 2 before deciding MC is the better choice for him. He’s not good looking and he’s just not likeable.

**Conclusion**
This is a hilarious series that you need to take a look.

hilarious

This is one of the funniest series I've seen in a while.
The main character 'mob' plays his role so well, his face expressions and inner monologues are on point.
I think I laughed so hard even my neighbours heard.

Also, very binge worthy since it doesnt take that long, i went through all of it in one sitting (it says here 120 min but one rakuten it was divided into 4 episodes)

The scene where he was smelling the backs of his possible 'saviors', was hilarious,
and i loved the 'bubble love' theme song
starting on that second season right away!

So Funny!

This show is the definition of "stupid funny". The theme is so outlandish it's just too cute to pass up! They succeeded with the never seen before storyline and it wasn't cliché at all. I was laughing the whole time and the visuals are very nice lol. I liked that it wasn't all about kissing or sex. It's nice to be surprised with something different sometimes. I'm here cause my little cupcake Yutaro (from Cherry Magic) and I'm loving it. Looking forward to a S2! I'd recommend to pretty much anyone who enjoys a good laugh. Even just the opening had me giggly.
Enjoy...

While it is hilarious to watch "Mob" try to avoid all the traps that living in the BL world sets for him, I am glad that the series ends after four episodes -- it's exhausting. But that's kind of the point, right?
The tropes quickly come one after the other, and the whole drama is very fast-paced.

I loved all the side couples and the couples in the background. Also the parents really are the epitome of "mob"!

There is one, maybe a minor, point I did not like:
* I don't understand why "Mob" is so desperate to avoid a romance storyline -- I get it in the beginning, when he's reading about "Meriba"-endings, which I wouldn't like for me either, but after a while it just feels a bit homophobic, especially as he doesn't want his little brother to end up with a guy too! I wish we'd get a better explanation for that. As it is, the whole thing feels a little off for me especially regarding the ending, which kind of comes out of nowhere.

Recommended, if you need a laugh and if you know a lot of BL tropes.

This is my first time watching a comedy BL series without laughing even just for a second. I was staring blindly to the entire series the whole time. Moreover, the setting itself is a BL world, an imaginary place where romance between boys must be overflowing and grand. Yes, they are dozens of cute couples shown. Weirdly enough, I haven't felt any love affections at all. I watched this knowing that this is adapted from a manga. I think this would be better if the acting is more exaggerated. Anime adaptation is more likely a better idea.

The last episode is pretty watchable. Other episodes failed to entertain me. I see the potential, but for me, the execution of lines failed miserably and the storyline is a little bit lacking in substance. Anyways, maybe I'm not young enough to enjoy this kind of series. I'll watch the season 2, hoping for an upgrade.

Personally, I don't recommend this to watchers who wants a more realistic and logical storyline.
