Starts off good and ends great!
When you start a BL, you never can tell the quality of writing or acting you'll get. This one, however, never missed its mark. It definitely had some originality to it. Two long time best friends, both attracted to each other and yet afraid to let the other one know about it. True, that's not original at all, but stretched out over the series, these two protagonists definitely give off great chemistry as a very believable duo, not to mention some very seductive scenes.The pinnacle episode would without a doubt be episode 5, with the truth about all getting thrown front and center. The fact this happens so early on, you just know a rocky road awaits before the finale.
Yusuke Sato was a familiar actor to me and he does not disappoint with his performance. Kaito Hori gives and equally good performance, making for one of the better BL's in sometime.
It's a really "good feel" drama blended with a very satisfying ending.
All in all, definitely a must watch!

Competing to stay close.
This series was great!! I watched every episode as soon as it aired and now before watching the last episode i binged all the episodes to finish with the finale. The second time watching was almost better than the first time. This is now one of my favorite Japanese BL's.The story is great, the production is great, I loved the lighting with the NC scenes. I also loved the music!
They did a really good job with choosing the actors for the younger versions of the mains.
The main actors and their characters were very likable, the acting was fantastic.
They had so much chemistry and the kiss and NC scenes were amazing!
I highly recommend watching tis one, i for sure will watch this many more times in the future.

Perfect
I'm giving this show a perfect ten! I love both of the leads, both are gorgeous. It's a rare for BL to have an equal hot leads, and not making the other one (the uke) feminine or smaller or dumber. I love the enemy to lover trope. I love their bickering. I love how fool for love Ryo can be. I love how Zen always try to look cool.Was this review helpful to you?
This is how you write a BL story. Fucking Top-notch
Seriously if there was BL series or movie library like oscar has, i would have voted this drama to be hall of fame. Damn, what a realistic drama. Seriously i was tired of this fantasy drama, straight turning into gay ( almost impossible things), all your university friends u meet during your class are gay, nowadays red flag or black series. Among all these is drama hold the actual reality of relationship and love. I love how both them know their sexuality and with whom they fall in love. Those jealousy moments, doubt, similar to our life. And thanks for showing how miscommunication can create issues in relationship. Thats why we need to share what we feel. Story is top-notch. I would give this drama ♾️. Acting is best, no dull moments, direction, is fucking great. In the ocean of shitty bl series this is shinning like beacon of hope. Seriously i wanna fall in love like this. Give a shot and u guys will love this series.Was this review helpful to you?
a breath of fresh BL air
This Japanese BL drama is exactly the kind of comfort watch that leaves you smiling long after the credits roll. It strikes a perfect balance between sweetness and emotional tension, making every episode easy to enjoy while still keeping you invested in the characters.What makes the series work so well is the chemistry between Ryo and Zen. Their relationship develops through subtle glances, playful rivalry, and unspoken feelings, allowing the attraction to grow naturally rather than being forced. The inner conflict between the two characters and their agony of confessing their love through the years. The story takes familiar romantic tropes and presents them with the understated charm that Japanese dramas often do best.
The blend of lighthearted humor and heartfelt drama kept me hooked from beginning to end. Watching their feelings evolve from their high school days into something deeper creates many genuinely giddy moments that pull you into their world. The romance feels sincere, and the kisses are beautifully executed—not staged for fan service, but filled with tenderness and believable emotion.
The performances are another highlight. Both actors bring warmth and authenticity to their roles, making it easy to root for them as individuals and as a couple. Their chemistry elevates every scene they share.
Fake Fact Lips is one of those rare series I would happily rewatch. Like Revenge Love, its charm lies in telling a complete story in a single season. Rather than stretching the magic across multiple projects, it leaves behind a memorable romance that feels complete, heartfelt, and worth revisiting.
And the theme song “Dareyori Sukinanoni” sang by the lead actors Kaito Hori and Yusuke Sato is pure golden it’s on my playlist. Depicting the agonizing inner conflict loving and losing a good friend when he confesses his

Less is more
I loved Cherry Magic, but this is in my book, up there, equaly good.To be fair, this drama doesnt need much words to describe it or summerise what it gave;
Clumsy, wholesomeness mature adult mlm. I'd even add in, it was realistic in many aspects (not all, but in many).
Worth the time. MDL didnt added the 10th episode nor it as extra as far as I could see, but it completes the drama even more.

Easly best jbl this year
easly one of my fav jbl,the leads have amazing chemistry, their banter is easily the best part, I loved watching zen and ryo rivalry friendship slowly shift into a romance relationship , especially since its obvious ryo has been in love all along,What i loved the most on how different their personalities yet they don't let things drag out, either by words or kisses, wOnly thing that i didnt enjoy is the futami character, his existence shaken up zen a'd ryo a'd made them talk to eo, but he was an annoying character that Im questioning if there was any other way to make our leads talk things out without, anyway he didn't ruin the show but ruined my mood, last episode was wholesome, a show totally worth watching

Sweet and funny with a little spice
This is one of the best bls I've seen in a while. They had me from the first episode.The main leads are a couple of hot, goofy goobers.Hilarious plot. What do you mean, they both liked each other since highschool but one was too afraid to say it and they other one was too cool(heh) to say anything? They are highkey daring eachother to confess the whole time ahdhskjshfkd. No obnoxiously drawn out misunderstandings (other than the obvious), and the acting was great. Had me giggling and kicking my feet.

Do Straights Gooning Together?
The premise feels a bit unrealistic for straight characters, but curiosity can lead people to unexpected situations—so I’ll let it slide.The characters are likable, and thankfully there’s no cringe acting.
So far, the story mostly switches between the office and home settings, which makes things feel a bit repetitive and visually dull. I haven’t read the manga, but I’m hoping future episodes introduce more variety in locations.

This starts with one of the dumbest bets I've ever seen—and somehow, it works perfectly.Two rivals who have competed in everything since high school continue their ridiculous rule: the loser must obey the winner. This time, it leads to something far more intimate.
It's chaotic, funny, and surprisingly addictive. The chemistry is already there, and the setup promises a messy but entertaining relationship.
