going by the og manga which this is based on they did leaps and bounds beyond anything it could offer in the best possible way. my only wish was for this to not stick to the typical jdrama trope where the mains finally get together in the last ep. but otherwise, all the added details and the delicate story was a joy to watch every week. Also their height difference is the cutest thing. The casting was very well done. i want more!!!
does anyone know the exact reference of pi? or it’s just random
it's a play on the word "oppai" which means boobs. akafuji says op and then you see the pi sign on the screen lol. nips are called something else (chikubi). akafuji was too shocked to see hajime's chest basically.
im gonna say something that will probably be an unpopular opinion but they have no chemistry and the show feels pointless/plotless. like it's ep 4 already and nothing has really happened. the acting is also not great. i liked gawin's acting but here he acts so over the top and it feels like he was told to act to fit into the 'uke' box.
The short of it is BL adaptations have been blacklisted in China since policy change in 2021 and it doesn't look…
i wish what happened with the spirealm happened instead, so even if the show was live for a few hours on a platform and then got pulled, we could have the full season. i really wanted it for this show 😭💔
okay can someone please explain the whole controversy with this show? why did it get cancelled after 8 eps and why is Japan airing it now? and it's edited in this new version? will we ever get the original unedited episodes after those 8 eps?
toxic psycho men: the series that's it. all three of them. i know this'll be an unpopular opinion. but i said what i said. the direction, production, acting and casting was all great. but the problematic source material is what let this thing down. im a fan of darker storylines but this was a whole lot of horrible violent acts without the characters causing the trauma facing the consequences. yes jaemin went to jail. but only he did. they also took all the sexual assault from JM and SH so lightly which was disappointing.
this show had so much promise but couldn't deliver imo. if only it had an actual plot, and dunk would know how to emote, it would've easily been one of the best bls of the year. idk what jojo had envisioned for this show but it didn't happen. firstkhao and joong carried the show. the episodes were entirely too dragged out and long for the lack of plot.
every episode i cry and that's a great thing tbh. this is a beautiful drama! if you are considering watching this, please do it! it is not grim or a sob story. overall, heartwarming and truly worth it. the visuals are beautiful too. i also love the director's other works.
is it just me or did motai masako's character feel super creepy in this? like it was so scary how she appeared outta nowhere each episode. lol. this show is visually striking and the depth of the conversations are good. however, i prefer stories to have a little more oomf, and more warmth like Danchi no Futari. Charming show regardless. The first episode with Koji Yakusho playing a hyperactive weird character was such a surprise (especially if you think about his character from Perfect Days).
this started off promising but overtime it became incredibly dragged out (like there no need for 1+ hour per episode and 10 episodes at that). Another recently adapted Sammon's work, Spare Me Your Mercy was much better executed. At this point this show is focusing too much on one thing (the raindrop killer) to the point that it is getting annoying. The acting isn't half bad, but the story has lost any and all meaning imo.
Makiko was my fav sister. I am still confused if her husband is cheating or not but I guess yes
i was confused too but then i remembered how he mistakenly called home and then hung up. so he clearly was cheating. but i wonder whether he was cheating with the colleague who got married or someone else entirely. out of all the men makiko's husband was the worst because he was the sneakiest and always denied vehemently.
that's it. all three of them. i know this'll be an unpopular opinion. but i said what i said.
