Hi you can watch it on both kissasian and viki

Hi, subs are out. You can watch it on kissasian and Viki 😊

You wrote a thesis on this, that's so cool. I've studied it to at uni, such an interesting topic in my opinion. But yes I agree, there does need to be a predisposed cause for it to get this bad.
That's last part made me choke, cause there is an aspect of BDSM that included vampire kink 🙈

I feel you. I like him as an idol and I'm conflicted on watching his dramas too. I feel like it's going to disappoint me in the end so I'm just avoiding his shows 😂

No I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that. It was an expression of sorts (I probably didn't use it well, English isn't my first language😅)
And don't remind me, poor Oshi, by the end of the drama I just wanted him to be happy with anyone, I was ever prepared for him to have a ship with Yokode if it meant he was going to get some love 😭.
I really do hope there's a season 3, this drama is too good I don't want it to end 💔😭

Actually , you'd be surprised how many people use dramas/movies as life frameworks. Have you ever heard of the James Bulger case? These 2 boys (around 13 years old) watched a horror movie called Childplay and then in the next few days they killed a 4 year old child, known as James Bulger. Both were sentenced to prison. One of them actually served his sentence and was released on parole (I think) in 2017/18, but he killed another child as soon as he was released from prison.
So what I'm trying to say is that you may think it's impossible unless something is wrong with a person, but really consistent research has shown that media does have an influence on behaviour. Although this is excluding factors individual differences, because we won't all act the same way in the same situations.

Don't hate me but I really liked his pairing with Arisa she was really cute with him. But next in line was Kurumi for me. She really liked him without judgement or anything. I hope in season 3 (if there is one) we get to see him in a relationship, I feel bad that he ends up single in each season (╥﹏╥)

Lol ?

I finished it just now, that ending was so good ? yes I really hope there's a 3rd season too

On kissasian, there are 7eps Eng subbed so far. I'm still looking for the 8th

I know right, he looks really hot I kept repeating his scenes, Masaki must've worked really hard recently, I wonder if Wonho was his inspo...

Is it just me or did Masaki get a bit buff, he looks really good ngl

It's 8am in the morning and I just spent the entire night binging the drama. I can confidently say that I cried the entire time. I swear Okada Masaki blows me away everytime with his performances, the man knows how to pick a good script and execute his character well.
The entire cast actually did a really good job. There were times when I wanted to slap a few characters for making certain decision *cough when shishou told Kiko to break up with Miyo cough cough* and there were times that I just wanted to bawl my eyes out and cry really loudly like in the last episode, when Konatsu lays her head on Kiko whilst listening to Yato's performance on the radio, that scene broke me in a good way, you can't tell me no one cried at that part (╥﹏╥)

At first it's hard to get used to the subbing style because the drama is really unique but once you get the hang of it, it gets easier to follow along.
Also, Okada Masaki is just chef's kiss, he did such a wonderful performance for this drama

I don't know if you've watched it by know, but there's eng subs on dramacool

If anyone finds out if it's been subbed lmk too pleaseeeeeee ?

This drama was so good, I'm surprised it's not being talked about that at all. It touched upon a lot of topics such as insecurity, jealousy, competition and rivalry in a really healthy and non-toxic way that made me enjoy it the most. I really loved that the main characters sought out help from professional mental health therapist to overcome some of their difficulties, as by doing so, the drama is really educating it's viewers that there's no stigma in seeking help from professionals. The dramas approach to solving family issues and misunderstandings was also really refreshing and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Not gonna lie, but I came here for Okada Masaki, but I stayed for the entire cast and storyline. The drama was executed nicely and the casting was perfect.
9/10 rating only cause I'm sad it's over. I hope they have a second season ?
