Wow, this one is way deeper than meets the eye at first sight - it is still prone to do some too stupid too emotional things here and there, but this one has a big praise from me. They managed to do something a) I haven seen in thai series, b) did not expect despite loving it from the beginning, c) haven't overall use much this effectively in thai series (maybe bl series generally speaking)... bravo.
Of course it does, that’s why we’re all flocking around this one gem. I’ll have to think through the differences,…
Interesting, you must be the only one who got a dirty old man vibe from Nozue, especially considering Togawa was nearly 30 there. I don't really see where the problem should be, unless we want to differentiate our own preferences regarding the main leads, which I understand is a good practice not to do in BL circles?
And I believe that in the case of Azuma Sakutaro and Kuji Shizuka, the age gap was even smaller, so it really might be that you just don't like Takeda Kouhei and his looks for some reason. Which is something I can understand, but I simply don't vibe with.
It might also be that you have personal issues with age gaps in general. Again, that's something I can understand, but I don't vibe with any of these interpretations.
There is another possibility: you are more into rom-coms and comic-relief-type, comics-like stories than real-life dramas. Again, I can understand preferences.
Interestingly enough, the age difference between Takeda Kouhei then and Watanabe Shu now is three years, if I'm correct. Takeda Kouhei was 37 when he portrayed Nozue, while Watanabe Shu is 34 now. That's just a three-year difference. They are, indeed, portraying very different types of characters: one is serious and dramatic, while the other is basically pure, contained comic relief.
I don't think Heisuke Takoi is supposed to portray someone approaching 40 and feeling like he has nothing, while Nozue was exactly that type of character. There is a difference between approaching 30 and approaching 40 in terms of the mental pressure that comes with it, and that is reflected in the atmosphere of both series.
So, I conclude that you might have some unreflected preferences and possibly that you are young, which would explain your message. Taste matures with age. :)
i believe firmly i am not the first saying this but: this hideous statue again? :D (now fingers crossed it was not made by one of the actors or the crew themselfs, or imma screwed :D)
Of course it does, that’s why we’re all flocking around this one gem. I’ll have to think through the differences, though. One of the most significant would be that OFC is through-and-through drama, while this has its almost-comic-relief-but-we’re-over-thirty-so-catching-ourselves-at-the-proper-time-and-playing-it-out-by-running-away-quickly moments. :D
...up till ep 5 - this is zzzzzzzzo gooooooddddd, why so low rating?!!! 😭😭😭 ...since episode 5: YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS, THIS SHOULD HAVE -5 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000.0 RATING! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
I have the same issue. I blame the companies. They don't give this couple proper projects. I haven't started watching…
OK. That's fine. "can be their last series as a cp if dmd think the series is flop in their eye" - sounds like a reason why to stop criticising it publicly, now i see why ppl might be sensitive about it more than ever. I kinda feel like they buried them WITH Naughty Babe, NB SHOULD be THE series for them, why did DMD not create appropriate project for them then? Even more reason was thatv ZNN were support/guest roles there too. 7.7 so far is not the best, but def. improvement in comparison to previous flop projects, if they dont fuck up big time something in the project, and if they compare DMD work with DMD work (i mean domundi, not fans), they shouldn't see this as a flop - comparing their standards with their standards. (Also, it is going to drop, but if only by 0.1, it will be a good result). On the other hand, it is sad that one of the best know and firts and biggest companies doing BL can only produce projects to this level of quality. But if we believe in ability of improvements, then DMD is not lost yet. I hope it goes well for them, it would be infuriating if they had to split not over their decision or outside circumstances, but bad work of their core company.
