Still not clear
This drama was good but i read a lot of revieuws saying it's one of the best and i don't understand that.It felt very unresolved in the end, because they still didn't really speak out how they really felt about each other. And why did he have top act like a complete asshole while he was actually in love with him...i still don't understand... That he didn't dare to show his feelings ok...but being a complete asshole???Why???
The visuals and the music were ok.
The acting was very good. The chemistry between te mains was good enough.
I don't think i will watch this again, because it felt unresolved for me.

The server and his lover
We have a weird but unique storyline out here. The main couple living in one roof wherein one serves while the other one pays the bill, is quite intriguing. Subjectively speaking, not a big fan of this genre and feel way too questionable but the drama itself is good enough to emphasize the romance and intimacy that the characters have with each other.The main cast is just okay, nothing extraordinary, or either one of them stood the best. But I found it cute how nerdy yet hotty the side character is, the husband of the girl manga author.
I don’t have much to say in this drama; all I can say is that it is average for me. Not too bad and not too impactful for a show in general. I just wished that somehow, they tried to build a different character development to the weatherman, in a genuine and soft kind of attitude towards the manga artist.

INTERESTING ONE?
If you think of their relationship with a moral mind it was kind of messy and toxic but funnily enough they’re both perfect for each other, match made in heaven for sure?? I’m not judging too much but rather went with the flow with this one. This was like reading a manga for sure, so reminder to set your morals aside or else you wouldn’t be enjoying this one.!!☝️Was this review helpful to you?
The spice is the best part
The storyline was pretty mid. Nothing too crazy exciting, if anything a little strange but interesting. The spice was wonderful. Honestly, it's the best part of the series. I think the chemistry between the actors was pretty good too, which always helps in the spicy scenes. I have rewatched it a couple times so it's quite enjoyable.Was this review helpful to you?
Two obsessive people, equally obsessed with each other
Relationships exist on a spectrum that each person constructs and navigates individually. This drama effectively highlights that complexity.You can't label Mizuki as a red flag without also considering Yoh in the same light. Both of them exhibit some of the most significant warning signs in their relationship – their behaviours are manipulative, obsessive, and impulsive, and their communication is horrendous.
While I agree that Mizuki's reasons for asking Yoh to move in with him are dubious at best and that we shouldn't romanticize this situation, it's important to remember that Yoh isn't innocent either. His obsession with Mizuki is just as intense, and his communication is equally poor. In a way, they might be well-suited for each other.
As for the drama's overarching plot, it's entertaining. With only eight episodes, it presents a slice-of-life story that focuses on the everyday experiences of Mizuki and Yoh. It's straightforward, easy-going, and relatively free of heavy drama.
Overall, I believe it's worth watching!

Old fashioned dynamics in a BL relationship
My Weatherman is not a conventional romance, and it’s not trying to be. Its relationship is deliberately lopsided, almost old-fashioned: one partner who expresses affection through control and protectiveness, and another who endures, adapts, and keeps the peace. The dynamic reminded me strongly of the so-called “normal marriages” of the past, where one person led and the other adjusted — not necessarily healthy, but familiar.It’s an uncomfortable story, yet underneath the imbalance both characters slowly reveal their fears and vulnerabilities. Not for everyone, but quietly interesting.

girl what
the actors were just about the only good thing in this show. i have 2 major complaints:1. the romanticism of mizuki’s sexual coercion is horrendous. i know that’s pretty common in bls but that doesn’t make it any better, plus it’s not even used as a form of “character development” here because he keeps it up til the very end. i firmly believe they could’ve made the plot just as, if not way more, compelling by removing the whole obligatory sex thing and all the scenes where mizuki forces himself onto yoh.
2. the plot goes absolutely nowhere, in fact it goes in circles. every time it seems like they’ve communicated their feelings and things are looking up, one of them (usually mizuki) overreacts about a misunderstanding and then they’re back to square one. even by the end they haven’t communicated their feelings properly and are just in another lull phase whilst misunderstandings continue to brew underneath.

Top-Tier Chemistry and Steamy Moments !
You can truly never underestimate the Japanese BL industry, and I was confident from the very beginning that this drama would deliver. While it didn’t completely touch me the way I hoped and I do feel it had the potential to be even more impactful, it was still an **absolutely well-made BL** overall.The acting was strong, the chemistry between the leads was undeniable, and the steamy intimate scenes were **exceptionally done**—natural, intense, and visually satisfying. Everything felt polished and mature, which is something Japanese BLs do extremely well.
In the end, it was definitely worth watching. I rated it a **9/10**, and I genuinely think it deserves that score. If you’re a BL fan, this is absolutely something you can give a try without hesitation.

I get it why people says it's toxic. One is very controlling, while the other just obey. But they just seems made for each other.it's really "crazy who don't communicate x loser who don't communicate". And I'm here for that.
The characters are grey and really care for each other.
Maybe I'm wrong but Segasaki seems really autistic coded?? Don't talk much, don't understand a few social situations and if I can say it but loving to have clear rules about their house.

Elements of power dynamics and dependency
Japanese BL series have a knack for venturing into uncharted territories when it comes to plotlines, and "Taikan Yoho" is no exception. The series presents a unique array of characters, albeit not entirely fleshed out, allowing viewers to gain a sense of their backgrounds. From the very first episode, it plunges into the heart of the main storyline, gradually peeling back the layers of our two central characters.The narrative revolves around Mizuki, a renowned and attractive weatherman, who shares his apartment with Yoh, an up-and-coming manga artist. Their peculiar connection is defined by a verbal contract, obligating Yoh to obey Mizuki's every command. As the story unfolds, we delve deeper into their relationship, largely through Yoh's introspective monologues and Mizuki's enigmatic backstory. While the initial premise appears distinct, the series eventually treads the familiar ground of miscommunication, misunderstandings, jealousy, and an ambiguous romantic relationship between the protagonists. Predictably, a supportive friend enters the scene to resolve the conflicts.
The series boasts a promising start. It effectively plants the seed of uncertainty regarding Mizuki's true feelings for Yoh. Is it genuine love, or merely a means to fulfill his desires? This lingering doubt could have been an excellent foundation if fully explored. Unfortunately, the plot at times trivializes significant issues, using them as instruments to convey one character's feelings for the other. Themes such as consent, depression, and abuse are woven within romantic contexts, which might give viewers pause and detract from their overall viewing experience.
The actors, Kouhei and Atsuki, perform commendably, given the characters they are tasked with. Mizuki emerges as an enigmatic figure with clear dependency issues, while Yoh embodies a simple, solitary individual who follows Mizuki's whims without protest. A deeper exploration of Yoh's backstory and more comprehensive character development for Mizuki would have been welcomed.
In conclusion, this suffers from shortcomings in character development and the reliance on conventional BL tropes. However, it is worth a watch for the actors' performances and an outstanding original soundtrack that accompanies the series.

Silent & toxic
And another amazing butterflies inducing and very toxic and unhealthy BL is over. And I want more...This is a story of two men deeply in love with each other but who never ever talk to each other. Lack of communication leads to misunderstandings and a kind of very toxic master/slave relationship they both seem to be addicted to.
Usually this trope, lack of communication, is something I find really annoying but here I just accepted it since the whole story is based upon that. It brought forward another kind of love story which never got a solution in the end. They admit that they do not speak to each other about anything important, accept the status quo but made sure to show in a non verbal way that they have a strong attachment to each other which is as solid as a diamond and never to be broken. Those silences, those looks gave me butterflies.
Beside the main couple there were barely any other characters worth mentioning except for Yoh's friend and fellow mangaka who watches their relationship from outside and sees more than either of the other two!
The whole drama has very little dialogue but a lot of voiceover which explains the feelings, the situations, the relationships. The acting is excellent but I found Higuchi Kouhei, the actor playing Mizuki, too thin in spite of the abs. And since he wore oversized clothes outside work, he had added fragility so much so I thought he was going to break! Excellent costume designer.
Japan is taking the lead now for the complex and intriguing BL stories : which one is the next? I cannot wait!
