Unexpectedly Naughty Fukami

FUKAMI THE FREAK

Okay, my friend and I just finished this goofy-ass show, and I have a lot of feelings about it. Overall, I would give it an 8.05 out of 10, and then I am going to say what I liked, what I didn't, and do an episode overview (I no joke watched this shit a couple of weeks ago and I started this review then, but oh my god, this show is so forgettable because I don't remember a damn thing about it lmao).

Starting OFF STRONG, with things I liked, the guy who played Kaji is literally so fucking sexy, and my friend doesn't agree at all. LIKE OH MY GOD, HE IS LUCKY I AM NOT IN FRONT OF OR BEHIND ALL THAT BECAUSE HE IS SO BADDD I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF. Shout out to my boy Kashio Atsuki, because you FINE AS A MOTHER FUCKERRR. NEXTTTT, WITH YOUR SEXY ASS.

Another thing I really like was the height difference. I felt like it was just something so simple, but it fit their dynamic as well as their chemistry so well, oh my god. And I have some really bad news...that's all I like in this fuck ass show. On to the dislikes, because there are a lot of them!

Regarding what I didn't like: first, it felt very random; second, holy AI. I think these ideas are pretty different, so I should probably put them in different sections, but this is how the show opened up, so... One, it dropped us into the most random bullshit plot and tried to convince us that it was heat, and truthfully it wasn't, and two, there was a lot of whipping around at the start, and oh my god, holy AI bro, not fucking with that, but you know what, whatever. I do think the show gets better and then falls off again, but it takes a hot minute for them to get together, and considering the episodes are only 13 minutes, they should have gotten to that point a lot faster. Going more into the randomness, I think that they were jumping around way too much in their episodes, but also not getting a single thing done in 13 minutes, like what? That's just bad plot writing at that point.

Following that, they were having so many bullsht issues; it was irritating. Like, Fukami is like Don't fall for me but when he falls for him, he won't own up to it-like, what? FUKAMI THE SPINELESS COWARD, just no. There was so much wasted space we could have spent on actual character development, more than just working at an office, but we just used it poorly because all we want to do is sit here and hold our fucking balls, my lord. Also, this show is so predictable it is irritating; like, please just do something differently for once. I don't want to see him get transferred and then y'all realize you love each other; like, just lock in from the very start so we don't have to do all of that.

Another thing I didn't like was the kisses. I feel like we had okay chemistry, but just like every single Japanese BL ever, we can't kiss at all, and I know it's because the actors are most definitely straight, but fuck, can we stop spending our budget on random AI and take some acting classes where we teach these bitches how to kiss.

Finally, for things I didn't like, the ending was ass. We spent 10 episodes building up for this shit just to end it like that? Girl, bye. We did NOT lock in when planning this script out, I swear to god.

And now it's random quotes from my episode review time!!! Episode 3: "OLD MAN SEXY FOR BIG MOMMA ON THE BED. GOD, HE IS SO HOT. BELLYYY IM GONNA NUTTTT ALL OVER THE SCREEN." Episode 4: "Fukami looks like someone's lesbian aunt with his hair tucked behind his ears. These weird visions with the orbs are very weird lmao. HEIGHT DIFFERENCE HELLO. FACE DOWN ASS UP, IM GAGGED. The beauty marks on big momma have me all the way dead. Why is he holding his hair like that? I'm sickkkkk." Episode 5: "Bro, why are we letting our man just walk away like that? Fight for your love, dumb ass. ALSO DIDN'T FUKAMI SAY NOT TO CATCH FEELINGS, LIKE WHAT?" Episode 6: "FELLAS, IS IT GAY TO WASH YOUR FRIEND IN THE SHOWER? I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS, I'M DONE, I'M SICK. AH NAH." Episode 7: "Of course he’s gonna transfer, predictable-ass Japanese BL. That’s all they ever do is transfer to different branches, and then they realize they love each other, and then the show is over." Episode 9: "We all die anyway. HE IS LITERALLY HAPPY WITH YOU, FUKAMI THE ANNOYING BITCH I SWEAR TO GOD. Y'ALL LOCK IN." "Slow-motion running, I'm sick. We are irritating me so much right now."

Would I recommend this? If you and your friend are in Thailand, too tired to do anything, and all caught up on your BLs, then yes; but if not, no don't waste your time on this bullshit because all they are going to do is play in your fucking face. Okay bye!

Not great and not just because of the bad sex.

I think anyone coming into this series would have to be illiterate to not know about the bad nc scenes, but since I am fully literate I was prepared and ready to watch what has been described over and over again in the comments section and other reviews as the worst nc scenes in the history of bl. I will say that sex scenes in jbls are pretty rare and in the handful of jbls I've seen with spicy content none of the sex scenes have ever been good so even without reading the comments I would have known not to expect too much. With that being said, these sex scenes were atrocious. Legitimately, I don't think the actors workshopped or had an intimacy coordinator on set. Their sex chemistry was 0 points. For the majority of the nc scenes neither of the actors seemed to even want to actually touch each other--they were constantly bundled up in bath robes, clothes, blankets... They seemed pretty deadset on having a physical barrier between them throughout the scenes which begs the question why they were even doing them in the first place. From my understanding this series is based off of a manga and an anime so the actors should have had a clue in on what the content of the show was going to be like so why did they sign up for it if they weren't comfortable with filming nc scenes?

Next problem (and I will admit this was entirely my own bad), I was expecting Fukami to be a slutty uke. He's not. He says early on that he doesn't like dating apps or random hookups with strangers, he only likes having sex with people he knows. Even if these are just casual relationships, it's hardly 'naughty' imo. He doesn't have any kinks (at least none that were talked about in the show), was against bondage, and only has vanilla sex. So apparently the only reason why he's naughty is because he looks pretty when he takes his glasses off which was very disappointing to realize. I really like characters that have hidden personalities and I was expecting Fukami to go from shy nerd to sexy slut, but no, that was not the case. He is a shy nerd through and through. I supposed I could have done my research on the matter before jumping in with this expectation, but the title is Naughty Fukami, who would have thought that he isn't actually naughty in any sense of the word.

Last beef with the series. I really hated the formatting and pacing. I get that week to week releases makes more money for companies since it requires viewers to renew their subscriptions to keep watching, but that doesn't mean the show needs to be filmed like a tv series, just make a movie and cut it up into small pieces. Having to watch 10 mini plots play out, with a lot of rehashed drama I might add, was so tedious. The show didn't need to have that many sex scenes or that many break up arcs. Every episode played out the same story with slight variations and it was boring. It would have worked out way better if there had just been one singular story arc that was stretched across the series instead of this sorta episodic format that presented the couple with weekly problems.

Now, was there anything I liked about the show? I guess I liked the actors, Kaji looked like a chubby little hamster and Fukami like a little mouse and I thought that was cute. Nc scenes aside, I thought they did a decent job in their roles, especially the heartfelt and crying scenes.

General info for anyone wanting to know:
• Is it spicy/nsfw? Yes, the series show the full sex scenes, but there's barely any nudity for... reasons.
• Is there a love triangle? Nope.
• Is there noncon or violence? Nope.
• Is the anime or manga worth watching/reading? Wouldn't know, haven't seen either of them and I'm probably not ever going to.

Slow burn to love ❤️

If you love the "hidden depths" and "colleagues-to-lovers" tropes, this series setup hits all the right notes, injecting a familiar corporate framework with emotional maturity and tension.
​Why It Works
​The "Secretly Judgmental" Dynamic: Having Kaji be secretly judgmental adds a brilliant layer of internal conflict. His initial perception of Fukami is flawed, making the realization of his colleague's "unexpected charm" incredibly satisfying as his pride melts in real-time.
​The Overnight Trip Catalyst: The classic forced proximity trope. Moving outside sterile office walls forces them to drop their corporate personas, making it the perfect high-stakes setting to transition from passive coworkers to active conspirators.
​A "Casual Arrangement" with Weight: Basing their arrangement on shared views on love gives it immediate depth. It implies both men are guarded or pragmatic, making their eventual slide into genuine love feel earned rather than forced.
​The Challenge
​The pacing of the "casual to genuine" transition is everything. To truly shine, the story needs to let the blurred lines, and quiet, vulnerable moments do the heavy lifting so the tension doesn't evaporate too quickly.

I really enjoyed this BL

Instantly became one of my favs

Really surprised by negative reviews here, whats going on?
I found this show on Gaga and put it on without knowing anything. Episodes are only 13 min each and that almost stopped me from giving it a shot. Glad it didnt.
What started as FWB had a very happy ending. There is a lot of spicy scenes and they're steamy and very beautifully done each time. The only thing thats off is their kissing, its confusing they kiss with closed mouth when they filmed so many spicy scenes.
I loved the character developmenet and main guy has a lot of inner monologue we can hear. I think the whole thing was relatable if you ever had a FWB that you fell for (which i did lol).

Dont mind the negative reviews and give it a go. Even if you dont like it- its short enough for you to give it a shot!

A playful BL built on gap appeal and unexpected chemistry.

This series starts with a familiar setup — a confident, calculated “perfect” man who thinks he knows exactly what he wants. But everything changes when he meets Fukami, a seemingly unremarkable and awkward coworker.

What makes the story fun is the contrast. Fukami’s transformation — from a quiet, almost invisible presence to someone unexpectedly alluring — completely disrupts Kajii’s sense of control.

It’s not just about attraction, but about being thrown off balance by something you didn’t expect to desire.

Light, cheeky, and full of comedic tension, this drama leans into the charm of unpredictability.

Quiero y no puedo ser una serie verde (como el chile)

Unexpectedly Naughty Fukami es más o menos graciosa, rápida de ver, pero una contradicción extraña. La premisa es una historia picante que se queda en un quiero y no puedo.
Supongo que la censura japonesa con respecto a las escenas de sexo es lo que causa el problema, pero podría haberse resuelto de otras maneras: puntos de vista visuales diferentes, insinuaciones, descubrir a través de diálogos lo que está ocurriendo entre los protagonistas. En lugar de eso, deciden filmar escenas que provocan pudor y no del lujurioso, sino del que da vergüenza.
En todo caso, para una tarde que apetece algo sin complicaciones, no es mala elección.
