I for one don't want dramas to check diversity boxes and look like American dramas. The reason why I escape to…
you people always talk about how all these massive corporate entities (who are ofc famous for their progressiveness and concern for the working class & marginalized groups) have some sort of evil, secret agenda but you never specify what it is... oh no, Netflix's secret evil plan is to have... *drumroll*... a couple of black people in a TV show!!! truly, the world is going to the dogs...
Really goodThough Im kinda sad this isnt a Kentaro x Honoka romcom they look soooooo good onscreen
wait, they aren't? they're shown in the cast like they're one of the main couples lol ... and I agree, their visuals together and on their own, are amazing XD
Ep 6: that's just rape. What the actual fuck?? I never liked this guy from the very start, a filthy cheater who loves to gaslight her but this is just too far and too fucked up even for a scumbag like him. She also had so many red flags and warning signs and she never chose to take him to task or leave him.... Her friend who always advises her to leave him or at least confront him is the only intelligent or emotionally mature person in this entire drama.
Ep 7: And the way she described the rape to Nagao and how she felt... It gutted me. Jesus.
Ep 8: Okay it's fucked up how people are treating Mikami as basically a good guy with a few flaws instead of a rapist and a serial adulterer... Why is Nagao, the strait-laced guy who disdains infidelity and anything untoward, encouraging Satomi and the asshole to get together? It's not he forgot her birthday or anything, he literally raped her and cheated on her at least twice...
Yet another of those Japanese movies which I'm too dumb to understand and have too short of an attention span to enjoy - I found it quite slow and too contemplative at times. But it is hilarious at other times and the acting was amazing - Non did a great job and she is heartbreakingly gorgeous. Also I loved Hashimoto Ai's brief role in this movie, she was very notable and she looked so cute. And Kento Hayashi was so sweet and adorable in this movie - we need more MLs who are so patient and understanding.
I know that i am going deep on a movie that it's quite the opposite, a light weight Shoujo movie, but i need to…
I always hate when people make blanket statements about Japanese dramas and movies. I'm not sure how many you have watched but mostly I have come across have assertive FLs and non-toxic MLs. Sure, some Japanese stories have either or both of those but so do those of every other country. By and large, they don't so it's not fair to put them all in a box.
