"And we also knew from the very beginning that both were deeply in love with one another."No, I do not…
It is obvious you se this series differently. Perhaps in the beginning one could make the case of hero worshipping when they were youngsters. However, that does not hold as they grew older and became their own selves. Hence, they indeed have a 'love' for one another from the very beginning. I saw no sense of cohesion or bullying and having been a product of that and having a professional background in human services, I just did not see that here - at all. If I had, I would have called it out. I detest and hate bullying and any form of abuse. These two guys knew each other and how to perhaps not with great finesse draw each to the other. I can't help but feel that BOTH were being manipulative, seeking attention, and desiring the other. So who is outmaneuvering whom here? Anyway, we see it all differently.
I feel like if they were going to make it fully a BL they should’ve added more dialogue and not tiger just wanting…
Honestly, I had not thought of that point, but I would completely agree. That would have given them more of an intimate connection rather than a sense of obligation. Nice catch!
i think it's good to have some lighthearted series within BL tho. it's like an escape from real life where it's…
Oh I could not agree with you more! I love escapism. If it has a point - fantasy, comedy, tongue-in-cheek. What I dislike is an asinine portrayal of the 'real world' with idiotic decision making being supported by people who should know better. Throw in some reality to counterbalance the sugar. I did not find this series lighthearted. I found it infantile. Big difference for me. But I truly understand your desire.
I obviously touched a nerve with you and you want to kill both the message and the messenger. Admittedly and honestly, I am not its demographics. I acknowledged that. Perhaps you ought to acknowledge that I am entitled to an opinion nonetheless. I want you to remember what you said to me because if you are lucky enough to reach my age, these words you have said, will come back to haunt you. Because if Karma is real, they will come back at you. These insults, and that is what they are both condescending and ageist, you will remember. Respectfully, it IS the series. Don't pin this one on me. I may be old but I am that I am. Besides, this is only a snippet of a review. I have a full review of this series that delves more deeply into this string of cliches and tropes. I won't keep anything 'cute' to keep anyone happy.
Sometimes I find your reviews too generous towards a drama: I just tried watching A Perfect Match after reading…
It's good hearing from you. After the junk I have been watching, I found A Perfect Match to be a perfect match. I honestly thought this was endearing. Some of the crap that is out there is beyond description. A lot of it is Thai, unfortunately. I am having a hard time with the tropey cliche-driven stuff from Thailand. Don't get me started on Teenagers Judge. That was AWFUL. I hated it and was hard to watch. Will end up on my Bathos list. What a mess! Yes, I loves Khat as well except for its format also. Funny, I usually get criticized for being too critical .
Thank You! I know I can be a bit brutal with my reviews at times. But I think it is time that BLs are taken a hard look as a genre with more objectivity and not just because they have eye candy to them. I appreciate the feedback. BTW, my FAVORITE BLs are Vietnamese. I love most of them as well. And again thank you for the positive feedback. I appreciate it deeply.
You are a moron. and how dare you assume anything about me. I have never been paid to write my review. Just because I see things differently does not give you the right to assume anything about anyone. You appoint you the Lord of Being Right?
Thank you! I found it! It is also on Viki (in the USA) but they named it My Love Mix Up). They do NOT list it under the Japanese name, oddly. I appreciate your help. I want to finish my review!
I cannot seem to find the last episode in English. I am assuming it is out but I cannot find it. Can anyone tell me where it is? When I click on Ep 11, it simply takes me to previous episodes. Thanks!

I have had several comments on Twitter as well. This is a two camp series - one that will think it is the greatest while the other, not so much.
