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.

Ugh. Why did I keep watching this. I feel nothing for these people. Either the direction is horrible, or these actors have no idea how to express true emotion. It all feels so cold and flat. Their eyes are dead. Hated the manipulative story arc. Makes the characters so unappealing. That girl... ick. It's a shame to go so far with a series and then drop it, but I just can't watch another minute.

And she says, I don't really like to meddle.... after imposing herself on him 3 episodes in a row. He told them both he's not interested. That should be enough. And why is she only concerned with the girl's feelings and not with Kanade's? If my boss ever did something like this, I'd be calling HR.

An okay short. Nothing great, and the coach was not very good at his job, which angered me. As many are saying, not a true BL. Feels like they reduced a full series to 20 minutes and gave us a couple of moments. Might have been better as 6 or 8 eps, but not bad. Just not memorable.

This is very sweet. Mashiro's explanation of his feelings in Ep2 was so heartfelt and tender. Plus I love his chubby-cheek smile. And the "why did I have to drink?!?!!" moment was very funny. I'm really looking forward to the rest of this series.

1st ep was cute. Feels a bit too much like Old Fashion Cupcake, but will wait to see how it progresses. His character feels more like a teen boy than a 40 year old. I thought Keishi came on a bit strong very quickly. Seems like it will be a super-sweet series.

Probably my favorite of the Suk Films mini-series. At least this was a different kind of story from their norm. If you're gonna include kissing, please KISS. Fish lips are so 2010.

This was pretty good. I think it started stronger than it ended. I didn't understand the big fight and time apart. None of it seemed justified, but forced for conflict only. Jiwon had some of those tropey aspects of the timid virgin. There was one scene where he literally jumped back because another student was walking towards him (not directly AT him, but just walking in the other direction). Being frightened to walk down the street was a bit too much - even with his trauma. They could have delved further into his past and the trauma from it. Having it come out only in comment sections and then never addressed directly seemed lazy. Jeong U was a bit too sensitive for my tastes as well. He had all those clingy, needy, jealous aspects that did not seem to fit his character or were justified, given Jiwon's clearly stated interest and feelings. But they were a sweet couple and their tenderness was comforting. The 2-minute slo-mo sex scene felt like fan service, but I shouldn't complain. They both looked hot and definitely in love. All in all, decent and sweet.
