10/10 Best (b)romance | have ever watched.
One phrase: Chemistry is chemistrying If I knew when I was starting this tv show that was recommended by my friend my life was gonna change, I will find my new family and have the best time of my life watching all the content and the episodes along with people needing and screaming the same things I would have started it earlier.Class 2 will always have a special place in my heart.
Saintshin really changed the trajectory of my life, it feels like I'm exaggerating but guys it's true.
What I didn't like:
* I won't deny 1 got annoyed at first with the repetition of
"Please forgive me" "No" "Please forgive me" "No". Not knowing the backstory, not knowing exactly their bond,! thought it was kind of tiring and felt like if this were to happen to me I would be mad mad. BUT!: Once I learned exactly the back story and Shin's feelings about the situation I changed my mind. Even tho I was a little bit annoyed I was rooting for them from the start but when ! learned everything ??? I was ROOTING ROOTING like OH MY GOD. I just feel like they could have reduce the draggy part a little bit. Just that.
What I liked: EVERYTHING!! Let me break them down:
-My most important thing: their bond. Never seen a bond as strong as this. It's raw, it's so beautifully portrayed. It's the reason I wanted to continue watching. The reason this show won the hearts of thousands of fans.
-The acting: I swear their acting is something else. It more than saved the show: it elevated it, it made it bloom. They were ALL amazing. Every single actor was so good but Skynani outdid themselves. They shined! Their performances were so REAL so emotional. But yeah I gotta give credit to all the actors. I'm thinking of specific scenes, especially towards the end that made me even cry.
-The emotions: In this tv show l've cried, l've laughed, I screamed. I was fangirling, I was deeply moved, I was proud. I was happy, I was sad, I was stressed, relieved etc.
Felt too many emotions to count.
-Their relationship with ChingChing, the baby sister will make your heart melt. And the friendships?!?! The relationship with Chadjen o
All of them I can't spoil. I just
loved this show so much, I can't watch anything now, I MISS THEM (o)
MISS MY FAMILY!
-Themes: It dealt with some important themes. Like autism, bullying, pressure from parents for school, drugs, alcohol, abuse, friendship and family bonds.
-Can I also appreciate the teachers?! As I also just received my teacher degree, I felt so motivated, so inspired. I loved their efforts, their love and actual care for their students. Oh my gosh this show really changed me.
Overall: PLEASE WATCH IT YOU WON'T REGRET IT! DON'T GIVE UP BEFORE EP 11!!!!!
WISH IT HAD MORE EPISODES.

10/10 How can I love the show while hating the heroine?
A really captivating drama with the central theme of marriage disappointment, interspersed with a murder mystery, cutthroat workplace shenanigans, conspiracy and legal drama. While some of the twists and turns are not exceptionally original, I must say I was impressed by the ending. Not totally different from what I was expecting yet it was delivered in such a way that took me by surprise.Perhaps the biggest reason I give this drama a thumbs up is that, despite my revulsion with the heroine's character during most of the show, I was nonetheless thoroughly glued to her story till the very end, and even ended up routing for her. Highly recommended - as long as you're not looking for a comedy.

10/10 Melody of Secrets 10/10
10/10 Melody of Secrets 10/10Melody of Secrets is another series that I truly enjoyed. The story blends mystery and investigation as it uncovers truths hidden in the past, making each episode engaging and compelling. Every episode keeps you curious, and I never felt bored while watching.
The cast delivers strong performances, portraying their roles convincingly with charm and authenticity. Their ability to express emotions naturally makes it easy for viewers to connect with the characters.
What I loved the most, however, is the soundtrack. The songs "Dark and Light" and "Endless Love Song" are absolutely beautiful and perfectly enhance the emotional atmosphere of the series. The music plays a significant role in elevating the overall experience.
Overall, this is a highly recommended series for those who enjoy mystery-driven storytelling with emotional depth. The series is available for streaming on Viu.

10/10 No other series made me cry as much as this in 2022
10/10 No other series made me cry as much as this in 2022In "Eternal Yesterday" Oumi Mitsuru (Inoue Sora) falls in love with the "living corpse" of his friend Yamada Koichi who was killed in a car accident (Komiya Rio, who also played a support role in "Takara-kun"). Koichi can only be seen by the people who think of him, and he becomes increasingly invisible trom episode to episode, so the viewer knows that he will disappear even from Mitsuru in the end. But when it actually happens, it is still a shock.
This is a beautiful love story, but the angst that is always there makes it bitter sweet. In 2022, there was no other series that made me cry as much as this.

10/10 Have tissue ready.
10/10 Have tissue ready.As with most Japanese BLs the storyline is amazing. I assume there is lots of Japanese culture brought to life in the approach being made in this story. You will learn by episode 1 or 2 one of the main leads dies. The way he still interacts in the story is where the Japanese culture part comes through. There is a similar storyline in HP series when talking about the deathly hallows, so it's not as creepy as it sounds (I have seen negative reviews addressing this).
This is a love story that gives a chance, their "miracle", to love to the fullest with their remaining time. Be prepared to cry, a lot.

10/10 thank you for opening my heart once again
I really hate romantic drama, because in my life, never dating and had bad experience of love rejection many times, and looked down on myself in 1 decade. I often run from romance and only look at the sensuality and eroticism side.This film with fresh and very interesting ideas plus professional acting, slightly opened my cold heart to imagine the beauty of love, two-way relationship dating. intelligent director who is experienced in making cheerboy films who make this drama androgynous, we do not face gender issues in love, the element of conscience which is usually rarely used in this drama can be the main weapon, the screenwriter is also great at negotiating with original comic writers and adding the storyline is important. after a long time I fell in love, I can feel them expressing feelings of love and feel the warm hug and the beauty of dating, I can watch this many times without getting bored. in the last episode I want to have a happy story maybe getting married or living together as lovers. thank you for opening my heart to try to love someone once again, this drama deserves to be a movie or a second season

I Became the Main Role of a BL Drama Season 2

8/10 They Became The Couple Of A BL Drama
8/10 They Became The Couple Of A BL DramaIt's been 2 years since the first season (the really really short season with only 3 episodes), finally.. the time has come for season 2! And it didn't disappoint me. After the cliffhanger of season 1, the sequel continued the plot with added spice to the romance. There's a more in-depth coverage for the managers, too. And since it's been going so well, I think hoping for a season 3 is not asking for much.
Fingers crossed!This series is a breath of fresh air! It has all the key components with a dazzling and animated cast who have the perfect chemistry for this fun plot. The first episode was absolutely hilarious, and I found myself totally engrossed in the little details of the characters and their unfolding story.
The wit of the script is palpable and there were a few times, ! thought to myself that this writing was perfect. I really enjoyed each character, and although a very short series it managed to keep me fully invested until the end. This is now one of my favourites and I will definitely watch the Crank Out Edition as well as put this on my re-watch list! Highly recommend this feel good series! Enjoy!

9/10 Love Begins in the World of If 9/10
Love Begins in the World of If: is a Japanese Boys' Love series that left a strong impression on me.One of the highlights of the series is its beautiful cinematography and visual production, which creates a warm and emotional atmosphere throughout the story. The narrative is well-structured, with each episode developing naturally and logically, making the series engaging and easy to follow. I genuinely enjoyed watching every episode.
Another strong point is the chemistry between the main characters. Their performances feel natural and sincere, allowing the emotions of the story to come across effectively. The combination of visual aesthetics and emotional storytelling makes the series particularly memorable.
The only drawback, in my opinion, is the short number of episodes. The story had enough potential to be explored further, and with a longer runtime, it could easily have been a 10/10 series for me.
Overall, this is a touching and well-produced Japanese BL series that I truly enjoyed watching. The series is available on GagaOOLala.

7110 Sugar Sweet Life
7110 Sugar Sweet LifeThis is the vanilla kind of BL series. Meaning there's no violence, abuse of any kind, toxic of any kind, or anything negative which can make you feel any kind of bitterness in life. It also means that there's no scandalous scenes of any kind. So for those who expecting some spicy scenes, ! suggest you skip this one, cause you'll be disappointed.
That being said, even though my description kinda made it sound boring, it really isn't. The main lead is a pure hearted person who doesn't have any malice in his mind. And the other one is a kind and brave police officer. Both characters brew a slow burn romance drama for the audience, which only bloom at the end of the series.

9/10 Tooth-Rotting Cuteness
9/10 Tooth-Rotting CutenessThis show is literally so adorable. It's a great palate cleanser without a ton of action or high-intensity scenes; just the blossoming and unfolding of a cute and wholesome high school romance. They made the right choice to keep it at 8 episodes that were about 24 minutes each. Any longer and I feel like it would have gotten too tedious, repetitive, and boring to watch.
It can be a bit cheesy and maybe even cringy at times, but the overwhelming cuteness of the relationship between Takara and Amagi overshadows those moments. The writers and actors both did an incredible job figuring out how to accurately portray many high school romances as well.
There are so many moments of miscommunication that could be solved so easily. Some viewer may find that it makes the show unenjoyable, but as infuriating as it could be, it feels very accurate and appropriate for the age range being shown.
Overall, I loved this show. I thought it was so sweet and I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for something lighthearted and laid-back.

10/10 One of the cutest BL series ever
10/10 One of the cutest BL series everIf you're yearning for 6 days, 23 hours, and 37 minutes to pass, what's waiting for you must be something extraordinary. "If it's with you" is exactly that, because it is one of the cutest shows I've ever seen, although there's always an element of angst lurking underground.
Amane (Okura Takato) moves to Enoshima to finish school after unpleasant, if not traumatic experiences with gay lovers (or maybe clients?). In his new school he meets Riuyi (Hyuga Wataru) and immediately falls in love with him. Riuyi, however, doesn't have much time as he runs his late father's restaurant.
Both actors do an amazing job displaying the doubts and fears of gay boys coming of age, and they are both extremely handsome, so that their cuteness makes the viewer forget about the hard road they both had to travel.

9/10 Happy of the End 9/10
9/10 Happy of the End 9/10Happy of the End is a series that draws its charm from a story that is far from glamorous. The main characters both carry heavy scars from their painful pasts before fate brings them together, and eventually, they find love in each other.
At first, I expected this series to be overwhelmingly sad, considering how dark and harsh the experiences of each character are. And while the story is indeed emotionally heavy, it gradually reveals moments of tenderness and intimacy that soften the overall tone.
What stands out most is the storytelling. Despite the high level of emotional tension throughout the series, it manages to balance pain and love beautifully. The series allows viewers to witness not only suffering, but also the quiet healing that comes from connection and understanding between two people.
Overall, Happy of the End is a well-crafted series that blends darkness and romance in a thoughtful and meaningful way.
It offers a realistic portrayal of damaged souls finding solace in each other, leaving a subtle sense of hope beneath the sorrow.

6/10 who is paradoxically pink here?
6/10 who is paradoxically pink here?Not having read the original manga, i can't tell the extent to which the storyline has been adapted. Most viewers claim absence of harmlessly fatal banters (laughs) and complained of shallow interactions between the leads. This short series on V:ki took me too long to complete. I would blame the cinematography because journalism was different from it's contemporaries as a premise, years ago. However the narrative contained typical elements like reserved and disciplined passive partner, cynical and carefree aggressive partner who flirts women prior to realizing his feelings for his colleague. An EXILE enthusiast pointed out that the agencies of Keito and Yutaro respectively, planned their promotion outside the insular country hence opted a BI.
Fortunately, they won't be dragged into toxic shipping culture owing to no stipulated work partnership contracts.
Opening theme song is playful and slow unlike most J series.
The chemistry between main leads neither impressed nor disappointed me thus i can't recommend this series..... gomen.

8/10 My New Favorite Japanese BL
I loved this. Short and sweet. Definitely one of the better ones l've seen and may even be my favorite Japanese BL. It was well-written and well-directed. The casting was great: two actually good-looking actors with great on-screen chemistry. The acting was good, too; there were still some awkwardness here and there, especially in intimate scenes (BL guys just never quite know what to do with their hands, do they?), but overall, it was some pretty solid acting from the whole adult cast. I made the mistake of reading the manga halfway through the series run because I got impatient with the weekly release. It was a mistake because I robbed myself of the otherwise worthwhile experience of going in blindly and being pleasantly surprised by all the good things that a well-done show can offer. While I loved the manga and this faithful live action adaptation, I really think I would have enjoyed this a lot more if I didn't have the source material in my head as I watched it. Nevertheless, ! loved the series and I can't wait to rewatch it in one sitting this time.Was this review helpful to you?
