Tipica BL giapponese caratterizzata da una comunicazione non sempre chiarissima. Belli i flashback di quando erano ragazzini, interessante anche il tema di come lo stacanovismo abbia ridotto Hiro a un robot ambulante, le cui giornate tutte uguali sono dedicate a una ripetizione monotona e meccanica del lavoro (tanto), mangiare (male) e dormire (poco o niente), per poi ricominciare da capo il giorno successivo.
L'incontro con Kai diventa elemento destabilizzante, che interrompe la routine malsana che lo stava portando verso un pozzo senza fondo. Il personaggio di Hiro sicuramente è quello più espressivo e facile da comprendere, anche rispetto a ciò che non dice a parole. Kai è decisamente più ermetico, difficilmente si riesce a capire cosa pensi (non solo è evidente che non ci riesce Hiro, ma anche per lo spettatore non è proprio lampante). La difficoltà di una comunicazione è comune a molte BL giapponesi e questa non fa eccezione. In questo senso mi ha ricordato molto "My personal weatherman", alla quale la accomuna anche un finale un po' insoddisfacente (entrambi i finali sembrano concludersi a caso su una scena, che non sembra essere degna di un vero finale... non significativa, non particolare, non risolutiva, soprattutto a livello di ciò che viene detto...insomma, ci si poteva inventare qualcosa di più impattante ed emozionante, in entrambi i casi). A differenza di "My personal weatherman" - che annovero tra le mie BL preferite - la chimica tra i due protagonisti di "Perfect propose" è abbastanza buona, ma di certo non stratosferica (siamo davvero lontani anni luce dal pairing Mizuki/Yoh). Resta comunque una serie equilibrata e piacevole, che merita di essere vista per gli amanti delle BL giapponesi (e non).

Is it a Perfect Propose(al)?

This is six-episode, too short, yet too realistic episodes of two people coming together against a world full of expectations and responsibilities. Although I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it and wished they added just an episode or two (or made the episodes 5 to 10 minutes longer), I’m also afraid doing so would change the dynamics of the story. So, I’m just taking in what is given to us, and just enjoy every minute of it.

Did that first paragraph make sense? If you think not, then that’s how this show is, starting with the title, shouldn’t it be "Perfect Proposal"? Somehow, a lot of the things shown in this series doesn’t make sense at all too, yet somehow, we accepted and took pleasure in it. I bet that controversial forced h*nd-j*b hooked a lot of viewers in - but who will not be, if a good-looking guy like Kai is giving it to you?

What I related most was the robotic slave nature of Hirokuni's work. Thats how I was in the real world for almost 2 decades - until I realized it was too late to change things and I’ve already missed out on a lot. Kai wasn’t only a person who needed a place to stay - Kai was also Hiro's saviour. I wish someone had saved me like that 10 or 15 years ago.

Both characters have difficulty expressing in words how they truly feel, and it’s frustrating - but that’s how we are in real life even if we don’t even realize it.

But I’m also afraid the show didn’t show me enough to make me fully understand both their situations. Flashback to their youths are so minimal and too edited, and their individual back stories are almost non-existent, that I feel like I’m just starting to unravel the mystery but never really got to the point of really caring about their characters - it’s a shame cause I feel like I want to care and know more about their individual characters and to know what happened to them as a couple.

With that said, is this a Perfect proposal? Not exactly but watching this still gave me a good feeling inside. Would I recommend this? YES! Will I rewatch? I’m not sure yet, maybe when I get bored in a layover or stuck in traffic. I also have a feeling we are going to see a lot more of these 2 fine actors in their bright future as actors. Giving this an overall score of 8.5

PS. While watching the show, i initially thought Hirokuni was being played by Thailand's Din Teerapat Ruangritkul that I had to look it up after the first episode. Their similarity is uncanny.
