This is for the people who are saying Qin is trying too hard to cry in the last scene. From P’Kla, director…
This was so obvious to me, it's totally in character for Qin to have built such high walls around himself and to have very muted expressions! Walls like that don't just come crashing down all at once, and I'm really happy that they are showing it this way. It's going to be a long process. But there's a crack now, and they will start crumbling as long as he feels safe enough. I love the writing here, how Duang and his unwavering puppy devotion and loyalty and care is just exactly the perfect match for Qin. I absolutely believe in them.
helloo!! I'm planning to watch this, is it really worth to watch?? 😭
It starts out as a very lightweight, cute story, but it just gets better and better with every episode. I started out as a pretty casual viewer, but ended up totally hooked by the characters and the story, and the acting and direction are very good. If you like red flag characters, you should look elsewhere. But if you like green flags you're in the right place. The MC here is the greenest of green flags, he's a whole forest. 💚
This series just gets better and better!? Now it even made me cry! And the acting!! That kind of deeply emotional scene we got at the end can turn cringe in a heartbeat if the actors cannot carry it, but they both (and the kid!) did such a good job!
Everyone is disappointed cause they didn’t show the NC scene but I think they have to understand the actors…
I think what we got last ep was super good. I don't think we need every detail on screen. Just the idea of the actors (young as they are, too) crossing a comfort line because of outside expectations gives me the creeps. You can tell when that happens and it just makes the whole scene feel totally off.
I heard good feedback about this series but I am really finding it difficult to continue. Still in ep5 and not…
You can basically skip from episode 3 directly to episode 9 and not really miss anything, because nothing really happens. They're just going in circles.
This series might have been better with half the episode count. As it was, it was dragged out like too little butter scraped over too much toast. Nothing happened and they were just going in circles for ten whole episodes. There was no plot besides the premise of "will Wataru eventually make up his mind". Even in slice-of-life type dramas we usually get some kind of new thing happening to the characters in every episode or so, but here? There's nothing interesting happening. Just a lot of flashbacks to their pretty boring school days, and them living together as best friends. There's not much to work with. Maybe a better director and scriptwriter and stronger actors could have turned it into something more compelling, but sadly that was not the case here.
I don't think there needs to be nc scenes in every BL, but at least I want the leads to have more chemistry than "best friends". I want to feel convinced that they actually have romantic feelings for each other. But that's a common flaw in JBLs, where the actors are hired based on how much they look like the manga character they're playing and not on how well they suit the role and definitely not on whether they click. Mostly they don't even meet until the first day of filming and there are no chemistry workshops at all, everything hinges on the acting skills of the two leads, and whatever natural chemistry arises between them in the moment. Which means that sometimes we get gold and sometimes chaff, and mostly something rather mediocre and boring. At their best, JBLs are amazing. But it feels pretty much like a lottery.
I don't think I'll bother to tune into the special episode. I'm just not that invested in these two characters even after ten whole episodes.
