toxic relationship or depiction of real life or both!!!
Many people express this series as a toxic relationship, but if you really think about it the creator of this series is just giving an example of real-life.One of the biggest problems in society these days is people have trouble with communication. Everything is a touch of a button on a mobile device or a swipe to the left or right so to speak. once people are face to face, they often don't know how to express themselves they because they can't just hit a button and show the other person their happy, they have to say it or show it which is where the lack of communication comes in. When people can't express how they feel or fear they might come off in the wrong way it causes miscommunication.
This series that appears as a toxic one-sided relationship is actually a depiction of the struggles people go thru in life with each other when neither side knows how to express their feelings leading to frustration anxiety and misunderstanding. This series shows how people express these frustrations and anxieties in different ways.
To anyone looking for a lovey dovey show please skip this one.
If anyone is looking for the pure emotional side of ups and downs in a relationship, please watch.

Really unique and different
When I watched this drama I was very confused by the storyline, I wasn't sure what the relationship between the two were until it was explained. This romance is completely unrealistic but very entertaining to watch. The drama didn't have any moments where I got bored or felt uninterested. It's a drama that one could watch in one go, the urge to watch more episodes is crazy. The characters both went through necessary character development which was satisfying to see. This drama was a twist of many different emotions. Overall I recommend it to bl fans. I haven't watched too much bl's but this one was surprisingly really good.Was this review helpful to you?

Simple but really good
My Personal Weatherman is a Japanese BL about two people living together. They are not just roommates because they had an agreement when they were still in university that Segasaki will work hard so that Yoh can continue creating a manga and to live with him. This set up of theirs led to them having a sexual relationship where Yoh thinks that he is just there to be Segasaki’ housemate and sex partner but Segasaki thinks that Yoh is there because he is also in love with him and wants them to be more. This kind of romance is a bit different and I don’t think that it will be for a lot of people because they tend to be a bit more physical with each other and I feel like this is a bit kinkier than I would expect it to be. I truly feel that there is so much here than meets the eye. To be honest, I was initially unsure where the relationship is going or what nature it actually is considering that there might be so much more between them than meets the eye. The relationship felt a bit toxic at the beginning but this is more or less because there is so much misunderstanding between the two of them that when they actually started talking is when the story actually got better and it led to something more interesting which is surprisingly good. I really enjoyed so much of the story and how they are handling the narrative here. I think it is good that we got episodes that comes from different perspectives because it showed us that there is actually something good about this relationship and I slowly liked the show. I am slowly seeing the kind of story that they are telling and it is very much appreciated to see the characters have such amazing rapport and chemistry especially when they are being more truthful with each other which is a big part of the growth in this relationship. This is one of those shows that if they could have just talked more, everything will be better and I am happy that it did.Was this review helpful to you?

Story
I know a lot of viewers were not very pleased with this BL due to the way Yho was being treated but I took it for what it was a drama and thoroughly enjoyed it. Yho was depicted as a loner and fell for Segasaki otherwise he wouldn't have been in a relationship with him toxic or otherwise.Loved both actors .. Both very cute.For some reason Japanese actors are incredible at showing their emotions Love..Excitement...Happiness..Sadness. Segasaki was very cohesive in his behaviour but Yhofought back and also when drunk his feelings came to the fore so he wasn't completely taken over.. Segasaki was put in his place more than once. You have many people in life who are very submissive to someone's feelings and they live like that. They prefer not to walk away.Yes I will watch it again.

A little unusual & confusing, but worth the watch
There are so many stunning shots of the two men going about their daily routines, sitting in baths, eating meals together and laying on each other’s lap. It hurts my eyes because the both of them look so ridiculously beautiful from every angle.But beautiful men aside, My Personal Weatherman is perhaps one of the most unusual and confusing Japanese BLs I’ve watched recently.
The relationship between Mizuki and Yoh is insanely ambiguous and yet, painfully unambiguous at the same time.
When Yoh ties his self worth to books he has sold, it’s only because he wants to be good enough for the wildly successful Mizuki, who has made a name for himself in his field.
When Mizuki is quiet around Yoh, it’s because he has dropped his mask – he is finally free to be his exhausted, introverted self around a person he trusts the most. Not Mizuki the talented meteorologist, not Mizuki the popular weatherman, not Mizuki the handsome idol.
Just Mizuki. A man who has found a place to rest his weary soul.

MY PERSONAL WEATHERMAN!!!
This show was probably the thing that kept me going in the week, knowing I can come home, relax, and watch this at the end of the week.Is this show DEFINITELY a 10/10? No. Is it in my eyes? ABSOLUTELY!!!
There are many things that I LOVED, but there were certain things that I didn't like so much.
The ending was a bit confusing. Were they actually TOGETHER?
I always love Japanese BLs (RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE!!) and usually never rate it lower than a 7-8. What was it about this show that made me enjoy it so much? THE CHEMISTRY!!!!
The chemistry between the leads is just outstanding, which lowkey made up for all the misunderstandings.
Some of the scenes were HOT!!! As in like, peeking through my fingers and giggling. THAT TYPE OF HOT!
If I were to give it a lower rating, the reason would be because of the misunderstandings.
The way they couldn't just talk it out infuriated me. A simple discussion would have made the relationship better and stronger. The fear of rejection shouldn't be there in my opinion. Segasaki had obvious feelings for Yoh, IF ONLY HE JUST FOLLOWED BODY LANGUAGE AND FACIAL EXPRESSIONS!!
Overall, this was an amazing JBL, and would definitely recommend. (especially people who like a bit of spicy scenes..) The chemistry is THERE!

Worth every minute of watching
The achievement of "My Personal Weatherman" is to take two characters, unlike each other in so many ways and seemingly so incompatible with each other, and by sleight of hand almost, show them understanding themselves and each other more, so that, by the end of this modest 8 episode series, their relationship evolves beyond the initial physical connection to more solid love and respect. Worth every minute of watching.MDL requires minimum 500 word reviews, so it's worth repeating:

my favorite japanese bl
I didnt expect to like this series so much!! This is my favorite japanese bl. It captivated me at the beggining and till the end. I really like both of the actors and was impressed by their chemistry. It is rare to find a japanese bl with such an acting and all. At first I felt sorry for Yoh. He is a stay at home man, who cook, clean the house, etc. and do everything that the handsome weatherman said. Mizuki, at the other hand, is toxic but deep down he really like Yoh. He was the only one , who didnt make fun of him at college.The plot was a little bit strange. I think that both of them was insecure - Yoh didnt talk much, he was shy and feel the need to say sorry a lot. Mizuki was possesive and was jealous, which is both cute and toxic at the same time. The chemistry between them was on high level. Yoh looked at Mizuki with pure love, his feelings was strong enough to stay in his house such a long time.
I watched this series for one day, which means that this bl is amazing and so interesting. I will rewatch it for sure. A total 10 stars from me!

Outdid the source material
At first, I didn't expect much from an adaptation of a smutty BL with a sus plot. I thought we'll get a Tokyo in April level of acting/kissing, but wow! This drama actually outdid the manga.The actors and directing style were the major reasons I liked this drama. There were drama original elements which expanded the story and thoughts of the characters. I kinda liked Drama!Mizuki more and his angst 😆
Many people might be skeptical to watch this as they see the relationship toxic and abusive, but I think they should look deeply into the characters and their thoughts. (Yoh has some issues towards Mizuki, but I don't think he sees their relationship toxic. He considers himself a slave, but that's because he doesn't know how to name their relationship.) I'm glad the drama actually expounds on that. The manga is rather comical in that regards, since well, it's manga. (Manga!Mizuki sulks, but he doesn't have that angsty vibe drama!Mizuki gives.) The drama has a sense of reality.
TLDR; all in all, I love how the actors and the staffs gave justice to the manga 😆 This is my first time giving a review since this drama deserves a higher rating 😁

Another good japanese drama
Let me start by saying that this show has that captivating sparkle that only a Japanese work can bring.Anyway, 'Taikan Yoho' has a great and exciting start that grips the audience with its intriguing premise. We are introduced to a shy Mangaka, named Yo, who lives with his idol, a beautiful weatherman, Mizuki. However, in the middle of the road, we discover that Mizuki likes/loves Yo back, and we're presented with the idea that we're going to see a shift in their relationship. Unfortunately, this change comes slowly and is a little bit unsatisfying for me.
While I still think that this piece is a wonderful show (maybe due to my bias towards Japanese TV shows), i believe that more development in their relationship would possibly take the show to another level."

What red flags? I'm colour blind ~
Before watching the drama, I noticed people are saying how much of a red flag Mizuki is; it is not 100% true.Sure he may put absolutely out of context rules and regulations but then he never harm Yoh; never neglects, always worry about him, provide everything as promised. They're communication and emotion is somewhat limited; nevertheless it coveys at the end of the day.
I actually love Mizuki's character for he is a man of action and stays true to his words. What's more Yoh is a perfect match for him as he absolutely love everything about him. Which is cute. I wish I have that. (Delulu !)
Their opening soundtrack is nice and catchy while the closing is simply the sweetest as it makes you calmer and appreciate what just happened on the current episode you watched.
Their acting and chemistry is astounding! I truly felt every emotions they have and they're too adorable. And as per usual, I have the need to be with someone after watching Jdorama ~ always. ugh.
