i watched this on a plane so memory might be a little muddled but i remember Hori Sensei very subtly inflicted multiple manly stereotypes on them. "shake hands like a man." "you should be stronger like a men." might seem trifling but to these extremely vulnerable boys, its enough to justify Hori as a way to vent their confusion or their inferiority because they already perceive themselves monsters.
"they're just gay" i think what's so lovable about this "another LGBTQ" movie is how they revealed the entire thing. all those small subtle actions that hold so much meaning and connects us closer to how the boys actually felt, both the realisation, confusion, and hatred for not just themselves, but eventually the concept of society. all these along with the multiple perspectives and interpretations the film made us witness. how it feels to be the "monster", and how the actual "monster" perceives them. all these aspects together makes the film especially meaningful, it was a beautiful showcase of a pure and heartbreaking young queer love story!! oops i might have yapped a little, my apologies.
The end does drag a bit, but this drama is still special. I can't really articulate the quality about it which…
heavy on the nostalgia 😠was like 9-10 when i watched this on tv back when kdramas still had chinese dubbing😂 that typa familiar feeling where you just wanna travel back to 2016 when life was much much simpler.
The first episode is too exaggerated, even for kdrama standards that was too much for me. I mean, the guy grabbed…
i feel like this show was headed towards the webdrama vibe. not so much on the typical kdrama vibe, so it was bound to be slightly more exaggerated. its a refreshing change!
Everyone keep talking about this almighty chemistry, am i the only one that didn’t see it? They seems very awkward…
its definitely the strong filters they put on the actors, cancels out alot of expression. without expression the chemistry is practically non-existent. its the same DDH and GW stare since ep 1. personality wise the characters are also so-so.
feel like Rikuto might be on a spectrum of autism, wished there was a scene where he got dignosed!! ive rewatched this show multiple times how did i not notice haha
