Yet another slow-moving Japanese BL with a stoic, non-verbal lead... and I'm in love again. I cried, but not at the moment you expect. When Koichi stood up to the bully and Oumi said he was always in front of that open door protecting him... beautiful. Can't wait to have my heart broken in every episode.
These two are playing off each other very well. Naturally, they're comfortable, in their 2nd series together. I like them better in this one. More natural. Both are so charming and appealling. I love all the side-long glances at each other. The slow dawning of realization. It's cute. Nothing wildly crazy or original (although I like the office setting), but I'm enjoying.
That's just, but how- Peat's performance is so good and Sky's character is cute and relatable, how can you not…
It's just my personal feeling, but I've always felt like he was forcing his reactions. Nothing seems natural to me. All very calculated and "doing what he is told to do". I don't believe any of his reactions. I'm glad you're enjoying his performance, but it's just not hitting me the right way.
I'm bored. This has always been just okay but I feel like there's nothing new or really interesting, especially in the second portion of the series. While Fort is gorgeous, I never really cared for Peat's performance from the start so now that he's the focus it's even less appealing to me. I'm gonna drop for now. Maybe I'll binge the last few eps on 1.5x after they are done, but I'll probably just look at pics of Peat instead.
There's nothing horrible here, I just don't care. It's over the top in all ways but I still don't like either main character, so I could not care less if they get together.
Can we add totally useless bodyguards to the trope list? What's the sense in having bodyguards if they are so pathetic? (even in a comedy)
Not horrible, but not for me. Some absolutely ridiculous forced plot points. Low-budget/amateur production. Yoshi is a cutie, but that's not enough to keep me around, even if it's only for 4 episodes. I will say grabbing the wrong towel was funny, but I wish he had taken. a peek. DROPPED
Cute. Unusual premise. Adult males playing adult males (although one has a dozen stuffed toys on his bed!). Not much happens in each ep. Both eps I said out loud, 'That's it?!" But still cute and fun so far. Andy is GORGEOUS!
After todays episode, I never want to see Neo play comedy again. He's so good in the dramatic scenes. I've loved him since 'Cause You're My Boy, but he just keeps getting better.
I know I'm in the minority, but this is way to slow for me. Ep 10 and we're still revisiting the same things. If I hadn't invested so much time in this already, I would drop. Cake sleeps late. Who cares? It does not reveal a thing about their characters or their relationship. So many scenes about the banal. Have you eaten? Where shall we eat? Go take a shower. Who cares? They're still acting like 8 year olds instead of college kids. Santa is phenomenal, but he needs much better material than this.
I loved this one. Yes, it had flaws, but there was something so raw and honest about the characters that I just forgave them all. Super cute, fluffy, sweet, tender, innocent and fun. Very little really happens. They rehash the same "problems" over and over. Not much progresses, the characters don't change a lot But Amagi's dorky, awkward vulnerability and Takara's stoic exterior somehow were perfect for me. They were actually good at communicating, even though lack of communication was basically the major problem in every episode. They both spoke their truths fairly easily after the initial hiccups and their insecurities were very relatable. Very Japanese so if you love that like I do, you should probably enjoy it. I'll rewatch, although probably just the occasional episode, so I can spend time with these two innocent lovebirds.
Not to mention that the acting was high school terrible and the sex scene was cringe. What's so weird is the people…
I have had the same thought MANY times reading some of these comments. I'm sure many of them are real, people who just love all things BL. But yes, I think a lot of them are either marketing execs or paid posters who are brought in to up the average of each show. Why MDL is so important to them is the real mystery to me. The audience here can't be significant to the overall ratings of a show, nor really help bring in money to the producers/networks - but I've seenof... shall we say "questionable" praise.
I do not understand how this is the franchise that keeps on going when other BL series that deserve more seasons are ignored. I watched the first ep and could barely stop myself from screaming. Amateur all the way around. NOT INTERESTED.
Eh. I thought the first two eps were slow. They could have done all that backstory and set up in one episode. They rehash things and draw out the scenes too long for a sit-comy show. But the leads are likeable (as actors, even when the characters are not). It's got some decent comedic moments. Will be more interesting once the BL kicks in.
Not bad, but just not holding my interest. I like the Handsome Gardener, but find the ghost family too stiff (i'm sure they are directed to be this way). It's all a little flat and slow. DROPPED
