My Personal Weatherman

A handsome man doesn't mean you'll get just get a serving of cute and mushy feelings...

Firstly, the lead actor (playing the TV weatherman) is strikingly good-looking - it's not difficult to understand why his housemate has been compelled to draw him from when he first saw him in the cafeteria. Segasaki has a unique kind of beauty that draws not only Yoh, but also his friend Manju and the viewer too. This is one strength of the drama - what is such a man like in person? How does the outward image of a popular persona translate into his real personality when at home?

Secondly, to address the conflicting opinions around this drama and its storyline: I liked the couple and I do believe it takes all sorts to make the world go round. I guess my main frustration was simply this: how about a bit more direct communication?

Expected Just a little more

It was run of the mill stuff I suppose. I was hoping for a more intense dynamic and such but it turned into an attempted wholesome romance which is a bit hard to do with an inherently toxic premise. I genuinely think if they had gotten more into the toxic relationship and how messed up this situation is, it would've worked much better. What I'm saying is this wasn't messed up enough and that's a problem. There shouldn't be a wholesome romantic thing going on, this relationship isn't designed for that.

It should've leaned into thriller/psychological territory more. The acting was solid however and the spicy scenes hit good. I'll give them that.

He can't talk about his feelings and is angry that the other guy doesn't understand how he feels

I don't know if I hate it or love it. The story is well written and the characters are realistic and multi-layered after all. But this was so frustrating to watch, like what kind of situationship is this?? For once, I don't understand, why didn't Segasaki just confess when he was making the proposal at the start. Wanting your crush to live at your house as your "slave" is weird, but it's much weirder to ask a friend you don't even know that well to do that. Also, Segasaki literally sleeps with his "slave" all the time, and him still acting like he's not in love with Yoh makes this situation even weirder. Also, I would really like to know how that even started. Did he just randomly come onto Yoh and Yoh accepted it as "part of their deal" or what the fuck happened? I honestly don't think they ever even talk about it. Yes, Yoh is dense but please please Segasaki can't you once tell him what you really feel and not try to show it indirectly.
And him stalking Yoh (after not allowing him to go to work?!?!?) and tying Yoh up out of jealousy is not cool. I mean Yoh liked being tied up, but it's still too much. His weird jealousy was also really annoying and that Yoh just accepted not being allowed to leave the house was frustrating. Their power-dynamic was honestly weird (Yoh is completely dependent on Segasaki) and that made Yoh not being able to speak his mind freely, not a good situation to start a relationsship.
Segasaki also said other really possessive problematic stuff, but I think he didn't mean it seriously? At least I hope so...

And the worst part of all of this is, that till the end they never had a real talk about their feelings (only "I like you" in the last episode) or about their relationship (they kinda confessed to each other, but it didn't change anything?? they didn't even seem to be happy after hearing it lol??). It feels like almost nothing happened in 8 episodes. And if Segasaki already knew that Yoh likes him, why would he not confess to Yoh in the beginning??? He already knows that he won't be rejected? Whyyyy???? And why would he treat Yoh so coldly in the beginning, only talking to him about what he wants to eat and when he will be at work and when not. At this point Yoh was literally just a maid and that's it. Obviously Yoh wouldn't think that Segasaki likes him when being treated so coldly??

And till the end I'm still not sure who Segasaki is. Is he really just cold (like he was on the "date" with Yoh) or is he actually a nice guy like he was to Yoh in university? I understand Yoh completely, but Segasaki? I still don't understand why he does things the way he does it.

This was one of the most frustrating BL's I ever watched, but I couldn't stop watching it. I actually don't mind the miscommunication-trope (if it ended after the 3th episode I would have loved this series), but here it was dragged on to long. For example in My beautiful man, Hira is even denser than Yoh, but that's why Kiyoi works hard to communicate with him better. But here? Their communication only got slightly better, but it's still a mess. Segasaki is frustrated that Yoh doesn't want to consider his feelings, but Segasaki was acting so confusedly, and also it is not Yoh's job to figure out Segasaki's true feelings. Just say it yourself you coward and don't blame Yoh. Have you even considered Yoh's feelings? How confused HE feels because of your actions???

I'm sure some of you will eat this up, but this is not my type of "kink", I'm not the biggest fan of characters like Segasaki. I mean I love me a tsundere, and I love a cold-on-the-outside character, but here? Here there was something missing to make me actually like Segasaki. Maybe it's because till the end he doesn't lay of his cold "mask" or his jealousy.

The chemistry and visual of the mains really pull me to watch this series and it turns out a good series. Well the only thing I hate here was their lack of communication they definitely love each other but yeah it really triggers me how they dont even try to communicate with each other but still I finished this series WHAHAHAHA

But their body language really said I love you in every way possible but I think they are dense WHAHAHAHA

Actually shooked about the behavior of the both character... but yeah as the story goes I understand the both of them... They really find the peace and love in each others arm

Not bad but not good

Usually I am okay with toxic relationships for the purpose of a story, but Segasaki aggravated me a lot. You know the actors did well when you really hate the character they play. Segasaki never redeems himself in any type of way and when he is meant to be seen as a better person, it misses because he never actually proves anything. Yoh seems desperate for a man who really just wants to own him and shows little regard for his feelings. I did really enjoy Yoh's friend, the girl and her husband. Also, am I the only one who thinks Yoh should have been more mad about the fact HE PUT A TRACKER IN HIS BAG? TO FOLLOW HIM TO HIS FRIENDS HOUSE WHEN HE WANTED TO BE AWAY? No one said a thing and all Yoh did was return the tracker? Insane.

Only works cause it’s fiction at its finest

I personally enjoyed watching this for the most part. It was short and sort of sexy and ”sweet” in the toxic kind of way that’s okay when it’s fiction.

My biggest issue aside from well the obvious.. was that the series didn’t really end anywhere? It felt like there was still a bunch missing? It just ended very abruptly I didn’t even realise it was the end until I saw the ending credits?

If you just need something to entertain you for a short while and you don’t mind morally questionable relationships, you’ll probably be okay watching this. Otherwise maybe skip this one.

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.

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.

Personally I wouldn't rewatch it, but I don't regret watching it

It may not be one of my favorites, but it isn't horrible either, and the plot and story line is well put together. But also there were times were I considered dropping it (which is probably because of my personal preference, and maybe not the quality of the drama?). At first, I wanted to say I didn't like it ( i had also started after finishing Dangerous Romance and I was waiting for the next episode of Revenged Love to come out) and that it doesn't have that much story, and seems more like just kind of a relationship that only existed because of the benefits there were. But then I started reading other reviews, and they reminded me of some points and twists and qualities that I actually happened to like. And then I wondered if the characters and their reasoning and thoughts were so vague and easy to misunderstand in the beginning were on purpose. I'm not sure if anyone else felt like that, but throughout the drama, the more they revealed, the more everything made sense (quite cliché) and the more I liked it. I still kinda feel like something's missing, like maybe if they added a bit more story, I would like it more, since whenever they would reveal something in the past, or about their personalities, my interest would spark up a bit. But, at the same time, there was also the twist when he lost his job, and when he kept getting anxious about something, like his "personal weatherman" leaving him because he found someone that may be better (ofc not) or he found him weird or unable to help out with their future/lives together. And, to add on to the positives of this show, it shows a unique story of a couple (writing this after i read one of the top reviews lol) who is not completely different form normal, but also has their own differences, like everyone does, except some people might those weird. (MANJU IS MY FAVORITE!!!). Maybe I found those traits uncomfortable, but I don't think that's it because I mainly found the show kind of confusing/boring, but I think the farther it went on, the more everything made sense to me (sorry I'm repeatinf myself...).

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 Yho
fought 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.
