i am glad you liked Takara-kun. It is very sweet. I like all the dramas you said you rewatch, although I have not seen Blue Canvas of Youthful Days yet. It is on my ptw list.
i know several people in this group adore Until We Meet Again but it was just too sad for me. The double suicide flashbacks almost every episode were too much. I may be extra sensitive because I have mental health issues and also know people who have died by suicide. But still I can usually handle suicide as part of a storyline anyway. For some reason UWMA just hit me too hard. Maybe because it’s moving.
in general I am also very sensitive to difficult coming out stories. Both my wife and I have parents who were disapproving when we came out. Over the years they have gotten better and are mostly accepting now but it’s still hard sometimes. We are well past being young and unsure but i still remember so well how tortuous some feelings were and how ashamed I felt about them. Also when I came out as bi it was not always accepted even in the gay community. (Yes, I’m old.) there are always challenges though. I now identify as pan and not everyone understands that either.
ok enough life confessions. I hope they gave someone something to think about at least.
