The saying that ‘imitation is the sincerest form of flattery’ is not always true. This series proved that. I shall come right out and say it. This is one of the worst BLs I have ever seen and one of the worst supposed remakes I have ever seen as well. To put it bluntly, this version was fatuous. Everything about it is. The production. The acting. The story. The plot. Hardly any of it even resembles the originality of the Japanese version. That had humanity. It had heart. Most importantly, it had authenticity sprinkled with humor, grace, and tons of human emotions. I can categorically tell you that the original Japanese version of Ossan’s Love was a masterpiece. This is simply a farce. What disturbed me the most about this series was the lack of focus and direction. It tried to mimic the original version and ended up not being funny and more like a mockery. Then relying heavily on the strength and reputation of the relationship between Earth/Mix to carry out a weak plot which they could not. For me, this is one series that should never have been made.
