Car park

I agree. However, the fact that Minami had to go to the club to "rescue" the student sets off the premise of this entire drama. So it worked out.

Exactly like me, I do my chores, work, my exercise, walk the dog, clean, whatever, and LTL is my reward. I actually skipped a weekend workshop I was supposed to attend bc too many of my fave episodes were out Sat and Sunday lol. (Back before I decided to concentrate on LTL)

OK i watched about 5 minutes and it looks like what I saw on other subs. I personally could not wait two weeks for NF. But that’s me, I also watch w no subtitles, then Spanish subs, then English, THEN NF lol. So I do watch obsessively I guess haha.

I see what you mean about the warning, I’ll watch a bit and get back

I have been watching on KISSkh and I thought the subtitles were fine but I never really compared scene by scene w NF (whose subs are nothing to shout home about tbh)

Hello, any chance the English subs are out yet on Ep. 9? TIA

thank you! I've only watched Venus and Love to hate you, both of which I really liked, so I took a screen shot of your recs and will try. In my case I honestly cannot watch anything until this is over, like Nemurerukana, I'm obsessed lol....

Same. I feel better knowing I'm not alone. I have re-watched the later episodes several times each but soon I'm going to watch from the beginning and see what I've missed. I've started several other dramas, some of them things rec here on MDL. I last a little bit and then I'm like, until LTL is over I just cannot watch anything else, they all just pale by comparison. Especially Bon Appétit. The male lead is kind of hot so I was kind of enjoying it but then it starts with the filler and the soundtrack was pretty mediocre and like monstersnroses said, it's just typical crowd-pleasing whatever. After Raul....I mean who can compete.....he's just beyond.

Good job!!! How did you find that perfect song and the clips that matched the lyrics, wow!!

Keep watching. Things can always change.

Up to 9. Scroll down, a couple links were posted, one without subs, another w Spanish subs...someone will probably post when the English subs get released.....if you dont want to wait forever for NF.

I said on Discord, if it's not a happy ending, I will make my own HE in my mind, like I did w CLOY, In my mind, I will say, "the writers got it wrong. These two made it and now they have two darling little mini-Taigas, and their best friends are Kawahara and Monomo (who also got married haha)."

Good question. Do you think maybe someone in the host industry, knowing of the new laws being passed, asked for it? Bc sounds like there are other perhaps less flattering dramas about the host industry (someone mentioned Callboy)...

How did you like it compared to LTL?

So a couple days ago, a few people said LTL was being "hotly" discussed in Japan. Would anyone like to share what the Japanese audiences are saying about it? TIA

This looks v good

Thank you mille fois!! I was literally just going to ask again haha!!

Makes me really resent Netflix

If you think this was stressful, watch Queen of Tears lol.

Thanks! I look forward to seeing more contemporary Japanese dramas. I know that the classics are out of this world. I do think LTL will be a classic. It’s an intelligent drama w a stellar cast and production team. Kudos to the director and writer. They paid so much attention to detail. The writer said she pictured a more sophisticated hat for kaouru. But the director thought they should be from a touristy seaside shop. Those simple hats also spoke to what the writer said when she wanted the leads to be ordinary people. I wish there were more detailed discussions on Reddit like is easy to find w mediocre dramas. The writer said she wanted to use symbols like the hat, pen, umbrella, etc.
Trains play a big role. In a later episode manami is running alongside the train. And when she calls Kaouru to warn him about her dad the red lights of the track are dinging. And in the latest episode, Dvorak’s “Going home” is playing. Erik Satie was in the background earlier in a cafe w Takawara .Such intelligent film making. Honestly I know we’re all saying it but it’s pretty hard to watch anything else after this one. It’s like going from a gourmet meal to Denny’s.
