You're in for a treat! Recent Japanese BLs are gems, often short but unique, offering some food for thought. Although some people may not be used to their exaggerated acting in romcom like Cherry Magic & Kieta Hatsukoi, the more serious ones like Love on the Line, His or Restart After Come Home are touching and thought provoking.

If you are more adventurous, a few controversial movies are worth checking out; The Dangerous Drug of Sex and Mood Indigo.

@jpny01 You always have interesting and different perspectives, bro. With what we have seen in the recent Japanese BL, I believe we might have a nice surprise or satisfactory development to their love story such as with My Beautiful Man's finale.

I don't exactly know what you mean by 'that face' of shinomiya but a few close up shots of him looking directly into the camera, to me is the most beautiful face I have ever seen!

There are a few close up shots when he looks directly at the camera, he has the most beautiful face I have ever seen!

@candyboy You can watch it at Netflix and Gagaoolala.

@jpny01 Accountant in mourning, haha! Somebody commented the new death storyline per episode doesn't work well on BL dramas. A lot of knowledge and real case study needs to be done in order to get such storyline interesting and at too ridiculous.

Otherwise, BL makers should stick to different professions, work environment without going too much into the field story like surgery and operation.

@jpny01 Soul Reaper guy is only hot when he is not working. It's amazing how different with his hair down and smile makes him a lot more attractive than when he combs his hair bavkward and doesn't smile as a reaper.

The drama is manipulative and preachy. The ost is also wrongly used in first episode, a sad and melancholy music score is played when a patient dies; we barely know the character but the director wants tears from us.

Love mix up has up and down, I think My Man Is Beautiful is better as long as you don't see there is bullying and toxicity im their relationship. They came out at the same time.

@J100 Wait which he is he again? Haha. We cannot differentiate he or she like in BG drama.

If you have seen recent Japanese BL, I think they will always have some nice surprise for us. They don't do dozens of flashbacks and show everything on screen to make us understood unlike some other BL from some Asian country, if you know what I mean.

His face is already one of the prettiest in Japan BL dramaland together with kurasawa from Cherry Magic (look like Noaya elder brother). I was surprised his body is defined for a young guy! 😘

Korea and Japan, please stop having Asian casts with bleached blond hair! It's hideous and make Asian haters hate us more for being white wannabes! I haven't seen any Asians pulling off great blond hair, what's worse, it makes some Asian skin looks really yellowish with bad blond dye!

You win, I've watched twice only and looking forward to the new episode. Noaya is really handsome like Kurasawa in Cherry Magic. I wish Kuota had unbleached black hair and better styling. I'm sure he looks better and match better with the gorgeous Noaya.

Yes, a few favourite BL of mines in the last few years have been Japanese. I think the industry is also getting more good looking actors to compete with Thai and Korean productions. That Naoya guy is YUMMY! He looks like the younger, cool version of Kurosawa from Cherry Magic.

@JT100 I've just finished "To Each His Own" and still would like to thank you for bringing up the film. That is a beautiful film ! While the office scenes are depressing and hard to watch with all the shouting, the messages are powerful about life outside the toxic corporate world and how most parents are ultimately our beloved.

It's a pity you didn't watch Restart with subtitles, you can google the full title + bilibili . It is life affirming and very heart warming film and a happy ending!

I guess some BL needs advertising to fund their production so I am ok with it as long as it is not too intrusive or in your face.

I worked only 3 months in a Panasonic factory in my country 20 years ago but I could see some similar corporate culture in this film; strict working hours (penalty for lateness), open plan office with boss sitting in front of everyone, morning exercise and position based on seniority. Most of the Japanese staff from Japan office have worked for more than 10 years or so in the company. It is no wonder not surprising if you quit a job too soon, the next company may not hire you in Japan.

I couldn't stand working in that monotonous corporate culture and experienced a complete change when I worked for an American PC assembly factory (Gateway 2000) where I worked happily for a few years, before moving overseas to be with my ex boyfriend.

Anyway, the actions of the boss would have got him and the company a lot of lawsuits in the US and probably exaggerated with those beating and kicking. I am not surprised though with the pressure one could experience in a sales company.

Some people think given more budget and longer episodes, the series would definitely be better. I'm doubtful cos the scripts have been bad and full of clichés, longer episodes will make a bigger mess. We just stayed till the end to see our hot leads, any longer will be bigger waste of time.

@jpny01 I have checked that nerd guy is called Arm in this series, no wonder people bringing up this name, I thought it was misspelt. You know what he was first Runner Up in the 'Mister Star Thailand 2018, no wonder he looks hot without the glasses and shirtless!

@LykeItRuff My god you have toned down so much I woudn't recognise you from your writing, haha! I find the episode just as bad as episode 2 as there is little progress in term of plot development. That Thakhun fashion sense is just going overboard!

@Riri, You piss off lady! I could see your profile as a female, so I don't think you really know what real LGBT world that much! If you are a lesbian, you should even be more vocal about these crazy fangirls obsession with BL simply because of some hot guys!

@se0ulmate The reason I label him "supposedly straight" is because in episode 1, when he was a bar tender, his colleagues said he was good at "handling the ladies" and later on there was a scene of him fxxking a lady customer. Showing Thakhun straight porn is also another hint. There has been no scene or hint of him so far indicating he is attracted to Kinn, while we do get to see Kinn's lingering look at him.
