Unexpectedly really enjoyable
I don't usually write reviews, but here I am after the 10th rewatch of Time of Fever. I just wanted to share how well made this short series is.When it came out I had already watched Unintentional love story and I mean, I thought it was okay as a BL...
It was the usual enjoyable K-BL with a pretty basic storyline, based on lies /misunderstanding, (which honestly is not my favourite trope, so i might be biased) so I didn't expect much from a mini series on a side couple, which had a little to no screen time.
Well Time of fever exceeded my expectations, the actors did such a good job, the chemistry is phenomenal, the soundtrack is really good and the whole scenery give such a feeling of happiness and youth, while showing the complexity of feelings of a young love in a difficult situation.
I love how they shown us their feeling progressing together, good and bad moments and finally explained why their relationship would be so complex to develop even in an adult context.
In general if you need a chill serie to binge watch in a night, with a nice storyline and a good chemistry, this is the right choice for you.

If perfection was a BL :)
I usually don't write review for various reason ,but after I've re-watched Kieta Hatsukoi for the fifteenth time since it came out, I decided it's time to share my opinion.Long story short Kieta Hatsukoi it's a simple still really entertaining show ,I loved every single moment of it, it was such a heartwarming experience, if you like Soft BL like me and you've been searching for new wholesome characters to fall in love with, this is for you.
The Plot is simple and really funny , it's like a development journey you make with the character, which make you bond with each of them for different reason , without the need that many BL Drama have of a complex plot or a sort-of toxic relationship (of which I'm not really a fan of) ,to keep the public entertained.
The whole cast did such an amazing job ,I fell in love with Michieda Shunsuke (Aoki) in literally 5 minutes and I'm pretty convinced he is happiness personified, in contrast with him Meguro Ren(Ida) did an amazing job representing his character simplicity and making his character really interesting at the same time(I'm not gonna lie He is really handsome too) and we can't forget Fukumoto Riko (as Hashimoto) acting as the strong ,supportive female character we all love to see.
Also Suzuki Jin(Akkun) deserve to be mentioned for the versatility of his role ,proving he can act really well even in a less serious role as we had seen in Given.
Actually I don't think less importance should be given to the soundtrack, in fact the opening is made by なにわ男子 (Group of which Michieda Shunsuke is a member),while the ending is by Snow Man (Group of which Meguro Ren is a member) both were stuck in my head for months after seeing Kieta Hatsukoi for the first time, actually I like to think of this two songs, the first having an happy atmosphere and the second being sad, express somehow Aoki and Ida different personalities. Give it a listen :)
I wrote too much, still hope you'll find this useful and you'll enjoy this masterpiece as much as I did...
