Ah... MAME. I should have guessed. No wonder I didn't like it.

Thank you!

Got halfway through this one before I had to drop it. I know this will be unpopular opinion, since many of you seem to LOOOOOVE this one, but I think it's one of the worst JBLs I've seen. The character motivations change from moment to moment. One second Ai seems in love, the next he's cold and dismissive. They cry about their feelings and then deny their feelings. I'm no prude, not by a long shot, but the whole "buying him for sex" leaves a really bad taste in my mouth (no pun intended). It makes me dislike both of the characters and doubt their motivations. They say one thing and do another (Ai tells his assistant to buy Kaishin clothes, but the next day she buys clothes for herself and Ai buys clothes for Kaishin). I find the acting really false. I don't believe a moment of Ai, nor his assistant whose over the top screams at EVERYTHING are truly annoying. Even the lots of tongue can't save this one. Dropped.

Who was the waiter in Episode 6? He looked familiar, but I can't place him.

First.... spit. Invented long before lube. LOL. Second, there are lots of things they can do without penetration. Third, tent sex is far better in fantasy than reality.

Are Jet and Charn supposed to end up together?

I love it when single people give relationship advice. How the hell would you know what makes a solid foundation of a relationship?

A decent short. The actor playing Choi, the one who likes middle-aged men, is not that strong. But the other lead does a good job. Choi's character was also unredeemable to me, so I don't see the attraction to him, but to each his own. But the surprise ending and that fantasy scene - so well conceived and beautifully edited.

I have been BLOWN AWAY by first episodes of other BL, so it's entirely fair to judge this one based on one ep.
Length and budget have ZERO to do with quality. I've also seen 10 minute episodes that were better than 1 hour eps. Not this one, though.
Why should base my enjoyment on a studio's previous work. I'll just focus on this show.
If you don't have high expectations that's fine, but I'm allowed my own. Enjoy.

The first time I made love I was ON FIRE. I was so excited. So passionate. I FINALLY was getting to do what I had dreamt of. But these guys... it's like they're drugged.

I could not believe that scene. The kisses have been horrible, but I can totally let that go. But that was the most awkward and uninspired scene I've ever watched.

I don't mind a lack of kissing so much when it's two young boys, because it's all new and scary to them - but these are grown adult men, who have both been in relationships before. Many BLs infantilize their main characters, so they act like 8 years olds, even when they're 39. I'm still enjoying the show, but it is a bit ridiculous.

Aside from 3 cute guys, nothing of note here.

They may seem over the top to some, but to me these two play those moments so naturally and realistically that I find them adorable

A decent short film. Nothing new or revelatory, but well done all around.

Not worth the time.

I know Natsuo pestered Hiroshi in HS, but honesty it felt like he had a crush on him, not like bullying. He just wanted to be with him all the time. He's such an over-the-top character.

A decent start. Liking the actors so far. Intrigued.

They probably made the trailer after they finished the first two episodes, and didn't have any other material to include at that time.

How sl-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-wly can I press the "Not Interested" button? It could have been a 30 min episode without all that Slo-Mo.

I liked this one a lot. It just hit all the right marks for me. It's not remarkably fresh, but the acting is strong and the characters nuanced. You believe these two are destined for each other and root for them from the start. I'll rewatch.
