9/10 When Hate Turns Into Love

9/10 When Hate Turns Into Love
The Proper Way To Write Love isn't actually as bad as some people claim, but it does have noticeable plot holes, and a few scenes feel pretty boring.
I know it's fiction, but part of creating a good series or movie is making the storytelling believable. That's why it felt unrealistic that Natsuo was already into Hiro from the very first episode. Even if he said it was "love at first sight," no normal person would ask a stranger to date them the second time they meet - that would probably freak anyone out.
Another thing: they've already hung out several times and even dated, yet they still haven't exchanged phone numbers? That just doesn't make sense. And I still don't get why Hiro pretended his hand was injured when the show never explains how it supposedly happened - especially since he was faking it. Even though the series is short, there are fillers and scenes that don't really serve a purpose.
I did enjoy the rivalry/love triangle in episode 5, though. It added some much-needed spice to the story. And honestly,! have to admit that I enjoy dramas like this just as much as I love wholesome, fluffy ones.
It's pretty shameless that Hiro's former classmates are still criticizing him even though they're already adults. They still act like high schoolers, which feels unbelievable to me.
Conclusion: I see the series as a revenge story with a twist:
Hiro ends up falling in love with Natsuo. The plot may start with revenge, but the genre evolves along the way - and I really love Hiro's character growth. Natsuo, on the other hand, is a walking green flag. Hiro probably just misunderstood him back in high school.
Overall, it's a watchable series and good for killing time, but nothing groundbreaking.

Bien, recomendable

Si te gusta el BL japonés te la recomiendo. La serie no tiene complejidad, es bastante típica de cualquier shojo manga la verdad. Salir con una persona para vengarse de ella es una historia más que vista, pero la serie es entretenida, cortita y está bien para echar el rato. No te ofrece nada nuevo como historia pero merece la pena para pasar el rato.

Se faire heurter la sensibilité

Honnêtement j'étais à fond jusqu'au dernier épisode où là je me suis pris une douche de déception mais monumentale. Il faut savoir que j'ai un ordre bien établit des choses, j'aime quand tout est carré mais là ça va pas du tout. Hiro est l'archétype même du bottom parfait (enfin dans ma conception des choses). Quelle ne fut pas ma stupeur lorsqu'il s'est révélé top. Cette histoire était à deux doigts d'être parfaite à mes yeux mais évidemment comme pour Abo Desire et Pit Babe, il y a ce petit détail qui vient me gâcher tout mon plaisir et c'est bien dommage ! Tant mieux si ça plait à d'autres, mais moi, j'ai franchement été déçue.
