After watching the episode with proper translation the conversation between Adachi and Fujisaki hit me so hard! I can literally relate to both Adachi and Fujisaki.
First, let's talk about Fujisaki's perspective on life and the problems she has represents so many of us Asian women. I have just graduated from university and just entered a job life. I want to pursue further study and focus on my career but all the elders could hear is the bell of time running out for marriage! It's not even my own parents who care about it but the elders.
"You are getting old hurry up get married", "No one will marry you after you turn 25", "Will I be able to see my grandchildren before I die" "Can you not do this for us after all the sacrifices we did for you" etc, etc. It's so fucking tiring and so toxic.
Here is the thing, you can't even argue back with elders especially if you are Asian, or else people will taunt you for being disrespectful for the rest of your life And let's not talk about the aunties and the neighbors who will taunt you and your parents to shame if you don't get your daughter married at "ripped" age! Disgusting!
And just like Fujisaki said that she is not interested in a relationship and so am I. To my girlfriends having a boyfriend/husband (some of my friends already got married) is so important and behaves as being in love or in a relationship is a top priority than anything else. No matter how much I explain it them they don't understand. They think I am bluffing or still a baby! But truth to be told If I don't get married ever I will not even for a second feel bad or lonely instead I will be the happiest person. Just like Adachi said even you have no love or romance in your life every day is fun in its own ways. I can't explain with words how much I relate to that line.
And I have stopped caring about what people say about me being not getting married or being in a relationship or I am the only one with medium brown skin tone compared to my white skin sibling and cousins. I am done! But I pretend that I haven't heard anything or care about those remarks.
And just like Adachi, I used to be scared of facing my insecurities and standing up for myself. To fight for something that I badly want yet give up before trying just cause my opponents is someone whom I view as popular and perfect and decided for myself that I will never succeed. It took me so many years to be brave and to face my insecurities and overcome them and have lost so many opportunities in my life that I will never get back probably. I still have some issues that I need to face and I will but one step at a time. No one is perfect literally no one! It's just some are very good at hiding their imperfections and others cower from our imperfections.
This episode was amazing and expressed issues that us adults feel! I can understand that those who are yet at a tender age may find this episode as filler or boring but the truth is life is complicated and we find complications boring.
Sorry, I am posting this long-ass essay here! Ignore it if you find it annoying.
You took the words out of my mouth! This episode was all about the character growth and mindsets of our mainleads.…
I am currently re-watching OL and the two shows are very different. OL feels like COMEDY-romance where else Cherry Magic feels well balanced Romance-Comedy love story.
OL for some reason never felt like a love story to me. Yes, OL did touch upon LGBT struggles and societal issues but the storyline was beating around the bush HARDCORE which was ruining the essential scenes such as the coming out scene to Maki's father felt very meh and disappointing for me. I wish they did some scenes with more seriousness but then again I do understand why they choose this direction.
With all its shortcomings, I love OL and it will always make me laugh.
And honestly, it fathoms me that Japan also is known for it's Yaoi or shounen-ai mangas are still far behind in producing BL's than Thai and Taiwan.
Hmm, interesting...Tsuge mentioned he started to hear others thoughts at the age of 32. Which makes me think,…
You took the words out of my mouth! This episode was all about the character growth and mindsets of our mainleads. It was very different from the first three episodes and felt semi- interval before things starts to pickup again but this time with more serious tone.
im curious what is there to actually dislike lol just some petty person being like "ugh Kurosawa is too considerate…
It will happen eventually and that's expected so fretting about it pointless. I mean three people already dropped the show so that kinda forecasts that there will be more but it doesn't matter. What matter is that those of us are enjoying the show and sharing and spreading positive vibe here. We can outnumber the negetivity!
I have tweeted to the official Twitter account of this series requesting to open an official youtube channel for…
I really don't understand Japan's lack of interest in their international fans. I just visited Adam Uni's FB page and apparently, they are surprised by such a big international fanbase they have gained so finally they acknowledged us but I doubt they will put an effort to cater to us. I will send them a message on twitter but I will not get my hopes high.
I can kinda see it? I was thinking more on Jungkook since they both share this bunny-like feature haha.
Now that you mentioned it yeah I kinda see the similarities between these two? but Adachi and Simon have a strong resemblance to each other. Jungkook is the cutest bunny period!
No, I agree too. The mouth area is similar to Simon
Exactly, their mouth area is similar. The first time I saw Adachi, I was like "this actors look like someone" but couldn't pinpoint like who though hehehe!
