apathy

i can’t speak for others, but that’s definitely not my reasoning. Even in their pretty explicit bed scene there was no passion. Some actors just have so much passion/tension/yearning that for a second you almost question if they’re acting or just genuinely enjoy being with their co-star lol. Even in bolder (often western) shows that don’t use shyness or stereotypical bl levels of jealously as a factor, there’s that electricity feeling (sometimes) that I attribute to chemistry. Obviously, this whole conversation is about something that is totally subjective but for me I was indifferent watching them argue, casually touch, kiss and have sex. I think the younger versions of them had better chemistry tbh.

And Kohei doing his best to basically seduce any girl that shows the barest hint of interest in Taichi? Hilarious. They’re all a very unserious bunch and I am entertained

That girl’s hater energy is kinda hilarious to me im sorry 😭 They looked like they were about to have a cat fight right there and then

sometimes i want to shake taishin and yell “you have a crush on takara” 😭 but even if that was possible it would ruin the slow burn which i actually really enjoy lmao

literally! like it really isn’t that serious. they need to logout and touch some grass

yea, if she kisses her without breaking up with tae then we can definitely say she’s cheating

the umbrella scene at the end of part 3 was so beautifully filmed and the chemistry was chemistrying omg

I wouldn’t call it cheating since she doesn’t know she’s falling for Judy and they’re not actually having any inappropriate conversations so far (and haven’t done anything inappropriate physically either). I do feel bad for Tae, but it’s realistic I suppose. People just fall in and out of love sometimes. I hope they break up before anything really happens between Bahmee and Judy though

that’s fair thanks

totally agree!

yeah the recorded lectures are more for filling in any blanks in notes if you (or in this case taichi) missed something. it’s also useful to pair it with transcription software. but yea, some ppl definitely do have a preference for handwriting their notes. it was just odd to me that it was never brought up as an option even by the note taker admin lady lol. i’d be interested in talking to a current japanese student to learn if it’s a cultural difference

by 2013 it was standard where i am to type your notes in class but i guess it can be chalked up to a cultural difference or fiction being fiction

I know but at least here in Canada it’s standard to type your notes (in real time) while in class. it makes note taking easier and quicker. For the rare prof/class that doesn’t allow laptops, students with disabilities and their support get special permission to use their laptops anyway. Also, students with disabilities usually get permission to audio record the lectures themselves (like on their phone) if the classes aren’t officially recorded. that’s what i did for several of my classes

ngl as someone who needed a class note taker in uni im confused why they’re not typing their notes and why there’s no talk about access to recorded lectures. is this show set in the early 2000s or something? i never read the manga

It seems like Ba Mhee is developing admiration for Judy and that admiration is becoming more crush-like. Her feels could just stay in the admiration zone or maybe she will eventually break up with her boyfriend who knows.

the way she slowly backed out of the bar before she took of sprinting was so funny 😭

Not to be weird but those two are really pretty criers. I was kind of blown away by their visuals during ep 5 haha

the actor who plays san is doing a great job showing old man energy 😭 his expressions, the way he walks, and talks…it’s all giving grandpa

i actually really loved the first episode. i understand why many have an issue with it, but im actually a sucker for reincarnation/love lasting multiple life times and loving someone for who they are/their soul rather than their gender or body. i do think it’s usually a hard trope to get right, but so far so good with this tho! i need gagaoolala to drop ep 2 already

i wish i didn’t learn about this until all the episodes had aired 😟 it’s gonna be hell waiting each week
