The last two episodes were exhausting. They take lack of communication and cluelessness to a level that’s not funny anymore. Senpai, this ain’t love; it’s audience torture. It’s too much anal retentiveness for a single series.
PS: Not to mention the wasted opportunities. They place Yanase ALONE IN KANEDA’S APARTMENT FOR THE WHOLE NIGHT and he doesn’t even take a peek at the ‘forbidden’ calendar or the shrine while he’s there. Even bubbly Thai BL Secret Crush on You addressed a similar plot point.
“How do you contact people outside the village?,” asks the dude who used a cell phone to call his brother in the beginning of the same episode. To be fair, it was already going downhill before that.
PS: I love how somebody must’ve remembered once in a while to tell make-up department Prince should be sweating during the fever scenes. Other times, he was lying in bed like a Lancôme poster boy.
What a well-written episode! And it only works because of the solid world and character building in the previous episodes. Also, the weaving of drama with (very good) comedy made things less oppressive. They’re exploring the loop premise to the bone but hey it’s working! When you thought things might drag a bit in the end, they made the premise fresh again.
I don't know about no-password as a cliche. In fact more and more people start not setting password on their phones…
Interesting. I thought all phones nowadays had an emergency function that worked off the pass lock. I personally don’t know anyone who doesn’t have a passcode. In any case, it’s a trope that keeps showing in many series (BL or not) to advance the plot. See Sky in your Heart for instance. That’s why I called it a cliche.
So far Poppy has taken other guys’ girlfriends in two series airing *at the same time*. He’s BL’s Don Juan. In an unrelated note, we get to see the most repeated cliche in TV dramas yet again: the no-password cellphone!

Boyfriend: “Are you challenging me?”
Who wrote this? A repressed middle-schooler?
