Manga Readers will be Disappointed

The actors who played the leads were good, but they changed the original story so much that it detracted from the story. They took away Kaneda's spunk and made strange, and took away Yanase's sense of humor and made him more boring. They also created unnecessary angst that was not in the manga. The couple in the manga had a sex life, in the series they barely kissed.

In the manga, Kaneda moved to Canada to be with Yanase, and returned to Japan when his year was over, 3 months after Yanase. That guy did not come from Canada to mess with Jun. Once they confessed, they were lovey-dovey.

I recommend only reading the manga, or reading the manga after watching the series. I was unable to appreciate the series because I read the manga first a few years ago.

Cuter than I expected

I really like this Bl it's so soft and easy to watch but, as I read in another review about this drama, something's missing.
Jun is hot. End of the review ahahahha he really is but he's also kinda dumb and slow ahahha.
I really like Yuki, at the beginning I thought he was kinda psycho but after the 2nd episode I really started to like him, he has such a big heart and he's so kind ahahhaha I can't... <3<3<3<3<3
I think everything hapenned to quickly especially the 1st kiss, it hapenned out of nowhere and something is really missing.
But overall it was really nice and I enjoyed it a lot <3

Better than the Manga!! I stayed for Naito but fell in love with Seto

I never expected that I'll love this series the same way as Minato koinrondori! With all the non stop releases of JBL for the past 6 months alone, this show was the least that I was expecting given how crappy the manga source material is but boy was I wrong. The prod team did its best to give us such light-hearted, warm and shoujo dreamlike series that I can't help but smile everytime I see Kaneda and Yanase get close! I'm never really a fan of worshipping your crush like a god trope but this one was just too cute without going overboard like that of Utsukushii Kare. The first ep didn't really get me. I just stayed for Naito san but I didn't expect that I'd come to love Seto san too!! Please give this one a try if you're looking for something fluffy and sweet. It'll be hard to get on first but I guarantee you, you'll fall in love with them along the way.

Workplace ick

This workplace romance came across mainly as creepy. The new employee has an unhealthy obsession with his new manager. The manager is given a role of authority over the new hire, and behaves pretty inappropriately right off the bat. There’s nothing wrong with a workplace romance…unless it plays out like this! Neither of these characters are mature enough to be in a serious relationship. Yikes!

I chose this drama because it didn’t take place in a school…but it turned out the characters were just as juvenile (and would have been more sympathetic) as if they were teenagers.

7/10 Good but should be better

7/10 Good but should be better
It is good, but can be and should be better. There is just too much indecision and characters thinking to themselves and immaturity, and not enough being braver and acting on what they're thinking. I get that this is all part of any relationship, but not for an entire series, down to the last few seconds.
And Benjamin should have gotten a swift kick to the curb. It was implied that Benjamin only invited Yanase back to Vancouver because of personal interest, not professional interest. Yanase should have realized this, rejected the offer, and stayed with the guy he already knew he loved. Finding and fulfilling love is too important to put in a shelf for a year, not knowing if it will still be there if and when you return.

Acho que foi o primeiro drama japonês que eu assisti que eu pensei: que merda é essa...
É muito ruim! Gostei da atuação do Naito Shuichiro, mas a história é bem ruim e o seu desenvolvimento além de ser extremamente lento, confuso deixa a desejar muito no final. A única coisa que eu gostei foi quando se passou o um ano, ao retornar Jun encarou a realidade e não aquela coisa ilusória da maioria dos dramas. Um ano muda muito a dinâmica das coisas, não necessariamente os sentimentos. O sentimento existe, mas a distância que se forma pelos 365 dias longe para se conectar novamente leva tempo, então gostei também que em todo fechamento de episódio mostrava a evolução ou o retrocesso da conexão dos personagens principais.

nhe..

olha sinceramente é difícil eu nao gostar de um bl mas esse aqui nao tem como..
eu fui assistir sem muitas expectativas so pelo fato de q o loirinho seria obcecado pelo seu chefe, e na minha opinião acho isso meio desagradável em dramas e na maioria sempre é exagerado mas conseguiu ser pior doq eu esperava 👏
os dois primeiros eps ate sao suportáveis mas o resto de torna entediante, perdi a conta de quantas vezes dormi assistindo, a história não te prende, nem as atuações, nem as interações, nada!!

Un peu déçu par cette série que je trouve fade et sans vraiment de saveur.

J'aime beaucoup les séries japonaises qui sont très bien écrites, produites et jouées, mais là je reste un peu sur ma fin. Je n'ai pas trouvé d'alchimie entre les protagonistes, il y a un manque de tendresse évident. Si se sont des personnages dans une relation sans amour physique, il aurait fallu être plu explicite et cela aurait été intéressant mais ce côté "oie blanche" ne m'a pas plu. J'ai trouvé cette série un peu fade. Je mets facilement 10 étoiles aux séries japonaises mais celle-là non! Dommage car il y avait matière à faire quelque chose de plus fort.

Passable avec une fin insipide et frustrante

Honnêtement, si je devais donner un conseil, c'est de s'arrêter après le 6ème épisode et finir là dessus.
Les deux derniers épisodes sont catastrophique, sans intérêt, insipide, pénible à regarder et illogique.
Cette fin m'a complètement sorti de l'histoire. Elle ne sert qu'à prolonger artificiellement la série, en incluant des scènes et action qui n'ont aucun sens, tout en modifiant la psychologie des personnages.

Bien que la série en elle même n'a pas un très grand intérêt et que le tout est très classique, ça reste mignon et un peu drôle de les voir interagir. Je n'en attendais pas beaucoup plus. Et même le côté mélange amour/fan, qui d'habitude me dérange beaucoup, passe assez facilement. En général je n'approuve pas qu'on face passer de l'admiration (idolâtrie) pour de l'amour.
Mais ici, on sent que le personnage différencie l'homme de l'artiste à plusieurs moment.

J'étais si bien dans la série que j'avais décidé de garder les deux derniers épisodes avant d'aller dormir.
Résultat, il est 3h du mat, j'écris cette critique frustré et énervé. Il va me falloir trouver quelque chose à regarder avec d'essayer de dormir.
La fin m'a tellement sorti de la série que j'ai failli arrêter sans regarder le dernier épisode (que j'ai passé en avance rapide)

Tellement de possibilités pour des choix catastrophique. Ajouter des artifices pour essayer de rendre la série plus intéressante alors qu'elle renferme de nombreux point inexploités qui auraient largement suffi à en faire une série agréable et cohérente.

радужно

Однозначно, мне понравилось. Но комментарий писать сначала не хотела, пока не увидела низкий рейтинг. Забавно. Я понимаю почему низкий. Видя жанр - все бегут на Огонь. И как-то стали забывать о стране где снималось, о менталитете и многом другом. раньше меня жутко злило такого рода сообщения, сейчас жутко веселит.
Да, дорама жанра однополой любви. Заметьте Любви. А следовательно о чувствах, отношении и да, главное - это не просто "пришел, увидел, победил". Это надо много времени, чтобы не получить осуждение, принятие, ну и взаимность. Япония, конечно в жанрах такая прыгающая: если эротика - то либо легкий намек (упс немного грудь показали), либо полный экшен, что сидишь и не вольно думаешь, что попал на запрещенный сайт. С этим жанром тоже так же. Вообще Япония с конца 21-ого года, очень радует работами. Актеры все проигрывают роли отлично, в сценариях нет такого дикого крика, когда кто-то из гг-ев кричит прося прощения или еще что. ))) Стало красиво и уютно. Герои стали больше эмоции проигрывать лицами. Здесь все прекрасно. От знакомства с культурой, графическим дизайном, отношением и дружбой. История влюбленности до точности начала отношений. До той нежной и взаимной любви. Все спокойно, мило и трогательно. Сэто Тосики был немного не привычен, так как видела его роли более импульсивные чем здесь. Найто Сюитиро. Ох уж этот харизматичный парень. прекрасен и у него большое будущее в мире кино.
Спокойная красивая и очень милая дорама. Для удовольствия и покоя стоит ее посмотреть. Но не ждите огнища. Это не здесь.

Um clichê bem gostosinho

Uma história leve, fofa, sem muitos dramas e com clichês deliciosos, é essa minha definição para essa série.

O roteiro é um dos clichês mais usados em romances de escritório, o Júnior se apaixonada pelo sênior e a partir daí a vida de ambos muda. Dessa vez, o drama ficou por conta da separação do casal, por causa do trabalho, mas também às suas personalidades. Ambos não são muito inteligentes emocionalmente, não existe essa disposição para conversar e falar o que está acontecendo, sempre esperando que o outro dê o primeiro passo, e quando ambos não dão esse passo é impossível o relacionamento andar para a frente. Achei o personagem de Kaneda muito maduro, pois apesar de tudo, ele sabia que existiam sentimentos de Benjamin por Yanase, mas mesmo assim não hesitou em incentivá-lo à ir embora e realizar seu sonho, pena que na volta de Yanase eles ficaram se esquivando de conversar e expôr seus sentimentos.

Em relação à atuação, não há muito a dizer, o Japão sempre entrega ótimas interpretações, e os protagonistas se encaixaram perfeitamente em seus papéis.

A fotografia é boa, ost também... enfim, uma boa série, é possível maratonar em uma tarde e eu com certeza indico.

Podría haber sido mejor

A ver, te explico. Jefe/empleado. Al principio parece como que el empleado es to seco y serio y el jefe se extraña porque él es simpático y encantador. Después se va viendo que no es así, que el empleado entró a trabajar a la empresa porque admira al otro... A ver, la trama en si es básica, muy básica, y tiene un fallo: pinta al empleado como casi un acosador en vez de un admirador.
Me he tomado la molestia de leerme el manga y es mucho más "real", además de picante, cosa que también es común en este tipo de adaptaciones.

Los personajes tampoco son especialmente guapos, además que, me resultaba difícil encariñarme con alguno de ellos.

¿Te recomiendo verla?
Pues mira, un rato echas, no es la peor serie que he visto ni mucho menos, aunque tampoco la volvería a ver.
