i LOVE this drama so much!!!! everything about it is so good!!! i’d easily give it a 10/10 but why did they use ai for some scenes 😭 not even major scenes, just little details, but still… you lost a few points there 😭 everything else is absolute chef’s kiss though!!!
can we please stop lying? they’re litteraly in love with each other, they even confessed it 😭
“not reading all that” while confidently throwing around words like queerbaiting and homophobic is exactly the problem 😭
you can dislike the drama all you want, but calling a confirmed queer love story “queerbait” just because it didn’t fit your personal expectations of romance/intimacy is still something selectively homophobic.

that’s not true at all 😭i’ve been waiting for this drama for so long, so i looked to it very closely since then. the director has consistently described it as a “love story,” “queer drama,” and within LGBTQ+ framing from the very beginning, not as a BL drama specifically. the BL label is something audiences applied based on expectations and marketing spaces, not something the creators explicitly defined it as.
and this is important because a lot of confusion comes from people assuming every queer-coded or male-male love story automatically falls under BL, when in reality that isn’t always how the creators themselves position it.
in multiple interviews (including the japanese ones), the language used stayed very consistent: “love story,” “queer love story,” and broader LGBTQ+ terminology. there was never an official claim like “this is a BL drama” from the director or script team.
so if people interpreted it differently, that’s understandable, but it’s not accurate to say the creators or script “made it something else” on purpose. the framing was already there, it just wasn’t labeled in the specific category some viewers expected.
