Why would anyone think it would’ve cancelled at all?? It’s got nothing to do with China since it’s not airing…
People are panicking, because even if most of the production is not Chinese, and is "safe", the actors are Chinese and could be stopped by pressure from their government. The fact that the original work is Chinese could also serve as a reason for the Chinese government to halt production.
Mostly, the panic comes from this week's cancelled episode.
Ongoing Chinese BL adaptation being stopped by censors has happened in the past. Though this case is different as it is not a Chinese production. People are still worried.
It's was a little confusing for me.1. Why kotoha hide her name?2.why she hates her mom?3.How did megumi find her…
For the 1st point, it's actually because she wanted a legal trace of the abuse.
At that time, there was nothing in the law about a mother sexually abusing her daughter, so the mother never faced any criminal charges for it. She only got charged for sexually assaulting her son, as there were laws about it.
So, there was no trace of her abuse officially.
But she wanted it to be acknowledged, so she decided to do the work to change her name legally. You need to have a reason to change it, and she declared her abuse officially. There was no law to punish her mother, but she could still use the abuse as a reason to change her name.
So even if in her mother's legal documents there is no mention of the abuse of her daughter, as the law did not recognize it at the time, there is still an official trace of the abuse in the daughter's legal documents as the reason for her name change.
She also personally hated her name because it was derived from her mother's name.
What a gem! It was absolutely brilliant. I never tried Japanese GL before, and now I shot myself in the foot by watching what seems to be the best one first. Like... Wow!
The directing is gorgeous, the scenario is beautiful, the characters are amazing. The story has its dark moment but the tone is right, and it is never melodramatic.
The acting is insane. How could they nail every single cast? Everybody is just breathing life in those roles, there's nothing to say.
It's a 10/10 for me. I want to erase my memory and watch it again.
So we finally see why Sun has a problem with elevators.
He seemed to have interesting relationship to women in general, so no surprise he got mommy issues. (just by his choice of work, it kind of says a lot). That's pretty creepy of his mom to do that kind of talk in front of him.
I agree with her that everybody needs to do what they need to do to eat, and I disagree with shaming women for their choices. But not in front of the kid...
Saw the first 4 episodes, its SO GOOD. Mind and Nanon's chemistry is on point, how could I ship him with every…
I was super surprised at Sun's mom. I knew he would have to had a weird past to grow up like that but..... Girl, don't sell yourself in front of your son pls T^T
Mind and Nanon's chemistry is on point, how could I ship him with every personality ? The characters are super charming, from the main ones to the secondary.
I wonder if there will be romance between the lead man & girl. 12 years gap between the actors, seems pretty big, but if they have chemistry then whatever 🤣
Would love to see a platonic relationship thought.
Really fun first episode! Wasn't a fan of the cliché romantic poster, but the first episode was excellent. I love how the main guy seems to be very "honest" but also seems to be good at hiding things by just going around the truth. ;)
The script hits every note right, the dialogues are touching and the drama never goes melo. And all the cast ! WOW. Wakaba Ryuya is my discovery and his chemistry with Sugisaki Hana is mind blowing. And Hana is ... I had high expectations for her because I already know she's good but she's... She's just amazing. Her scenes flows and her eyes and voice give power to the most calm and gentle actions.
The last episode is so quiet, I can't believe how they both made it so strong. It was perfect until the end. I can't praise it enough.
It's an action movie, simple, and it's doing action reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaally well.
The choreography is WOW

The changes they made make it more modern and alive.
I like that we take the time with the story and the characters to meet and know each others.
