One Room Angel Vibes with Sex, Violence and Guns Instead of Shy Romance, Feathers and Mystery

realistic and gritty film making. Nothing slick and over produced (notice in the earliest scenes of the camera trailing behind the car, no image stabilizing there, it really gave the feeling of being in a car on a bumpy road trailing).
Lots of sex and romance here, steamy, dirty, car and motel sex.

Some really unrealistic human trafficking sex (pretty sure the Yakuza don't buy adult teen boys for book keeping, assassinations, surprise attack violence and dainty little bj's on the office sofa).

“The Journey of Killing You” – When Danger Meets Desire ??

Once it comes to dangerous dynamics, let’s just leave that to Japanese dramas — because Japan never fails. When it’s about tension, danger, and that slow burn that makes you scream inside? Japan always delivers. 😭🔥

This is actually my first BL where both main leads are Yakuza! The moment I realized that, I fell in love instantly. Like, no waiting — it’s that good 😭💅

Kataoka Kinji completely stole my heart. He’s not the kind of man who wants chaos or attention — he just wants peace, and that’s exactly how he ended up falling for Odajima Ren. The way he claimed Ren so naturally? Too sweet 😩 I could feel their fear, pressure, and quiet emotion in every moment.

And let’s be honest — Japanese BLs don’t play when it comes to tension. The atmosphere, the looks, the energy — it’s everything.

Even though it was short, I understood everything. Every glance, every silence — it all spoke volumes.

Honestly, this is my first ever Yakuza couple, and it’s going straight into my “Checkmate Yakuza” list 😌💥

10/10 — dangerous, emotional, and unforgettable.

A recommended J-BL

Till now the episodes have been really good. As always j-bl doesn't disappoint. The actors did really well with the acting and even if the storyline is kind of similar, it has a new concept that is Yakuza. I really liked the storyline, it gives you butterflies even if the duration of the episodes are short. Definitely recommended.

Amour à mort

Le trope de la pègre dans les BL est plutôt commun (KinnPorsche, Kiseki,... ) The Journet of Killing You m'a un peu fait penser à Happy of the End, un BL lui aussi japonais. Dans les deux cas, ce n'est pas de la romance à l'eau de rose : c'est violent, intime, avec des enfance et des adolescences fracassées. L'on voit parfaitement l'attirance des deux protagonistes se construire au fur et à mesure. Les scénaristes japonais n'ont pas fabriqué de faux rebondissements ce qui fait que c'est une histoire ramassée en 6 épisodes d'égale intensité. à voir.

EXCELENTE DE UMA FORMA QUE SÓ O JAPÃO SABE FAZER

Eu sempre fico impressionada em como o Japão sabe fazer com perfeição uma série curta (mas eu queria que fosse um pouquinho maior dado a história que é muito interessante).

Eu sou a maior amante da estrutura visual que o Japão proporciona. É tão melancólico, eu amo isso. Os roteiros são sempre impecáveis sendo fiel ao tema, como aqui temos a Yakuza envolvida tudo é sombrio e é isso que dá beleza a obra.

Como eu disse anteriormente essa é uma série muito boa, mas poderia ser um pouco maior. Cada nuance apresentada tinha potencial para um maior desenvolvimento e discussão, mas isso é apenas eu não querendo largar esse programa e sempre querendo mais.

A química entre os protagonistas é tão boa que chega a ser imersiva, a dinâmica de relação deles é muito incrível.

OBS: o Japão precisa começar a nos entupir de BL, eles fazem tão poucos e são tão bons :´(

The journey to loving you…

Entre honneur, loyauté et vengeance (parfois sanglante), le milieu des yakuza fascine. Y ajouter une romance ne serait qu'enflammer davantage la dévotion des membres du clan, n'est-ce pas ?

Odajima Ren (Takahashi Hiroto) porte un poids lourd sur ses épaules. Il incarne la parfaite image de l'homme droit et rigide qui ronge son frein, attendant d'assouvir sa soif de vengeance. Le ressentiment qu'il nourrit envers Kataoka est intense, bestial même. La chemise jaune reste un mystère, mais elle n'a pas éclipsé l'intensité du regard de Takahashi Hiroto que j'ai trouvé intense tout au long des épisodes.

Kataoka Kinji (Wada Masanari) incarne le nouveau style du yakuza dans drames romantiques. Loin de l'homme distant au visage fermé, à la place, il dépasse les bornes avec des blagues douteuses et une attitude insouciante. Et pourtant, derrière ce sourire espiègle on ne sait vraiment quoi en penser. Pour moi, la faiblesse du personnage est d'être une caricature de manga qui n'a pas été retravaillé pour l'écran. Néanmoins Wada Masanari est formidable avec un regard d'une jolie intensité et d'un sourire espiègle, mais honnête envers Odajima.

La romance se suffit, bien que la première scène me laisse sur une pointe d'amertume. Je ne parviens pas à la comprendre. C'est une relation fluide et spontanée avec quelques maladresses. Après tout, même la pire des raclures n'est pas épargnée par l'amour. Ce n'est pas une romance tortueuse qui me faisait souffrir chaque semaine. Malgré les démons de Odajima, la tension n'a jamais été explosive me faisant douter. Et ce n'est pas un problème, car ils ont enflammé l'écran avec ce qu'il fallait.

En bref, The Journey to Kill You est un drame sombre dans lequel deux hommes dangereux se confrontent et finissent par développer des sentiments jusqu'à s'échapper de leurs cages.

Korosu foi minha expectativa

Não foi o que eu estava esperando, e eu estava esperando muito.

Não sei se o fato de ter só 6 episódios atrapalhou o desenvolvimento, mas parece que tudo acontece rápido demais e, ao mesmo tempo, sem profundidade suficiente. Fica uma sensação de que faltou construção.

Já comecei estranhando demais o Kataoka em cima do Odajima enquanto ele dormia. Tipo… o que foi aquilo? Pra quê? Por quê? Aquela cena passa muito a impressão de falta de consentimento, e isso deixa tudo desagradável.

Se o sexo fosse tratado apenas de forma mais crua, como a série parece querer fazer, tudo bem. O problema é misturar essa crueza com situações que beiram o abuso e não trabalhar isso direito na narrativa. Não tem discussão, não tem consequência emocional clara, só é desconfortável.

Também senti que a relação dos dois não foi lá essas coisas pra sustentar essa intensidade toda que quiseram vender.

E o que mais me incomodou foi parecer que o Odajima “deixava” certas coisas acontecerem mais por obrigação do que por vontade, quase como da forma que ele era submisso ao outro chefe 🤢

Essa dinâmica pode até funcionar dentro da máfia, onde há hierarquia, mas quando isso começa a ser espelhado dentro de um romance, fica estranho. Não é uma comparação legal de se fazer quando se está tentando desenvolver uma relação, por mais tortos que os personagens sejam. Eu, particularmente, não curto isso.

Yakuza... BL!?

From the first scene, I knew this series was going to be more dark and gritty then romantic and soft, which makes perfect sense considering it's within a Yakuza plot. The character dynamic is definetly a unique one: Odajima, the one ordered to kill Kataoka, the young boss, an admired and compassionate man, finds himself struggling to complete his mission even with his 7 year long grudge against him.
Odajima has been living a horrible, rough life which Kataoka manages brings light to.
For only six, 25 minute episodes, I was deeply invested in this series. The feel of it is sad, intense, and quiet. You could never really tell the outcome. I loved the kissing scenes (unimportant information) and I think they built a great bond during an insanely difficult situation. I'm happy with the end and I'd recommend this to anyone who likes the darker side of life and romance.

Una buena serie

No entiendo por qué tiene tantas reseñas negativas, están tan acostumbrados a las series traumáticas, con muchas escenas de sexo o series donde todos los protagonistas tienen mucho drama y acá la serie se salga eso, obviamente tenemos personajes con pasado pero s través de los capítulos de ve una auténtica evolución, es entretenida, interesante, no es muy profunda ni trata temas complejos o muy filosóficos pero es una serie para pasar el esto, para disfrutar y reírse cuando lo llama "Esposa" así que háganse un favor y vean la serie

no pierdas tu tiempo viendo esto y mejor mira "happy of the end"

si quieres ver una serie que involucre mafiosos y chicos traumados + romance crudo, mejor mira "happy of the end"

the journey to killing you tiene una premisa muy interesante, cuando leí la sinopsis dije wow tengo q ver esto, pero lastima porque fue muy aburrida y más que aburrida se sintió como hecha al aventón..
la idea principal es increíble pero los episodios tan cortos simplemente no hacen que nada funcione, no pude empatizar con los personajes, el romance se sintió súper rápido, de un momento al otro ya se amaban profundamente y fue como ????

no me gusto nada, ni siquiera me dió tiempo de disfrutar la serie porque ya se había acabado..
además los actores principales simplemente son equis y creo que realmente no saben actuar y su química es muy plana, el ost no es nada interesante y bueno, siento que verla o no verla da lo mismo, no es como que algo cambio en mi después de ver esto ni fue una obra maestra ni nada

ví esto después de history; trapped así que las expectativas estaban elevadas
