why does that chairwoman send kimchi to people’s houses (for example, ep6 36:06) ? Is that her way of inviting people to her auctions?

I assumed it was the guy that had turned him down in the past (i think in university)

thank you so much for letting me know! I’ll make sure to check out your website ^_^

omg thank you for the detailed recommendations! I’ll make sure to check these out ^_^

thank you! I might give it a shot in that case ^_^

literally 😭😭

I’ve actually been considering watching this, but the comments and reviews are making me skeptical.

Was the acting good? I am not a fan of over the top acting. What were some things you liked and disliked aside from the kisses? Mild spoilers are fine too ^_^

this was so beautiful! deserves a higher rating imho :(

absolutely love the cinematography. the rooftop scenes were breathtaking! the story was very beautiful and heartwarming too.

however, i found hayakawa’s character quite frustrating. he did multiple things that i couldn’t quite ignore. if it weren’t for all that, i probably would’ve liked the drama a lot more.

he’s probably like 5-10 years older given that he’s Akira’s brother’s friend. he’s giving me the ick. bro, go date someone your age instead of your friend’s brother who’s literally a high schooler😭 i wonder why akira is with him:(

yes, happy ending.
all 8 episodes aren’t available internationally yet, though :(

tysm!!

I wasn’t planning on watching this before all the episodes are available, but curiosity got the best of me🥲

Loved the first two episodes! Can’t wait till all the episodes are available internationally 🥹

I saw him in Therapy Game yesterday while binging the drama. Today I started watching Contrast not knowing he’s in the cast there too, such a coincidence !

It was lovely to see him as the main lead in the first two available episodes of Contrast ^_^ cant wait for the entire drama to be available internationally!

where did you watch all 8 episodes, if you don’t mind me asking? are you based in Japan? seems like internationally we’re only getting 1 episode per week :(

thank you! I actually binged it last night. You have impeccable timing haha😂

This was so freaking cute!

I went in with zero expectations, thinking that I won’t like it and might end up dropping it. But I actually ended up liking it much more than I expected!

I loved how they were together from the beginning and that we didn’t spent several episodes stuck on silly misunderstandings. I’m kinda tired of the “taking 99% of the series to get together and starting the relationship a few minutes before the drama ends” trope.

Amagi is a literal ball of sunshine. Takara is the typical stoic popular guy lol. Katori as the “ Wind Whisperer “ was amazing 😂 i really love how supportive he was the whole time.
(It’s funny how I coincidentally saw Jack o’ Frost right before watching this drama, where he was the main role. I started watching Takara and Amagi without knowing he was in this drama too. The contrast between the roles was incredible 😂)

They really needed to chill on the blurring effect though😭 I honestly don’t see why that was even necessary? both main leads have amazing skin that didn’t require any further editing. the filter was so bad at some points that it made them (especially amagi) look like ghosts🥲

this was cute and funny! i liked the uniqueness and ridiculousness of the plot.

however, the main lead (Fukuhara) was making it unbearable. the over the top acting and internal monologs every 5 seconds was really getting on my nerves. his mega panic every time some form of intimacy was mentioned even when they’re officially dating didn’t help either :3

loved the other main lead, though. it’s a shame that his character wasn’t explored as much.

I think I understand what you mean. I’m not an expert, but from my limited knowledge of Japanese, I’d say it’s something you’d hear when someone is angry or annoyed.

this was so beautiful! idk why it has such a low rating:(

yes, the characters are flawed. and I’m not a fan of the lying and manipulation. but the acting, cinematography and music really touched my heart. it was a lovely journey seeing their beautiful moments from the past, and seeing Ritsu finally remember the love he had always felt for Fumiya.

overall, a beautifully made series that deserves a higher rating imho :(

I think it was a decent watch! nothing groundbreaking, but something cute and fluffy to pass the time. MUCH better than all the horrible KBLs lately😭
