The trailer is bad, it looks like another Thai bl with a lot of nothing, Based on Mame , The novel writer of Type and Tharn , Don't say No, Love by chance, Thay are all not something to remember bt they were very popular, popularity is part of being generic . if there is a formula that is working on a large scale of audience probably it would be repetative, this is exactly what is happening in bl world. this what happned in Kdrama too, they look after a accurate formula and it's working for years and years. not only working it's effecting international TV and transforming everything , that is why we could see a lot of Kdrama generic scenes in Thai bl. like accidently kiss for example
I could not watch the last 2 episodes, droping it, I've seen the behinde the scene of the series in YT, I have seen the longgg kiss they had, and it make me more dislike it , how could it happned when I watched 8 misrable and loasy writing episodes without even one second of joy, and suddenly out of nowhere there is a long kiss? From the start I knew it, it was made only for $ nothing more, without all the iriginality and freshness we watched on S1, when they had no budget it was better. Unfortunatley it's happening all the time with Kdrama, when money get involved they stop being creative.
I think I'm droping it, I could barly watch ep 3, it was aweful and boring and cheezy to the level you can not watch it without want to puke, it's really bad and I'm very dissapointed, The manga is bad too, but the live action is worse, I can not stand both characters, Naito is a bad actor, and I could not believe his fake smile, Seto on the other hand is very good actor and have beautiful face, but Kaneda charactar is grose, creepy,and not real , there is nothing real about him, if he was a kid I could understand , but he is a old guy already, 20 and something it's enough , why he is apologising even when he smiles, and why he beg on his knees when he all he did is to help?! somthing is really wronge with this character writing, it's not for old audience, but at the same time it's not propare to kids either, To sum it up, I think that this Japanese bl is suffering from "Netflix" Syndrom, I would not be surprise they are involve in the budget, Unfortunatly in the last few years here and there there are some series that suffer from lack of "authentic Japanese elements" like, they are look and behave maybe in some point as manga characters, but it could not be a Japanese original production.
I really appriciate they are both gay, and not again the same plot we watching in Thai Bl when usually one is straight (or bi ) it's refreshing I love also the dynamic between them, and their acting, it's going to a really good direction, way better then "Senoai this can't be love"
When Kimura said that Takeda is a "Caramel popcorn" it's sweet but after that he fixed t to "caramel frappuccino" what could he mean? , it's only part of the translation, he said:"Ice cream on top of a sweet drink" what does it mean in your opinion?
I think the Thai BL industry suffers from 'Mass production' in that they saw it was something that was popular…
I'm watching all of Asia tv for years, My top is Japanese, and never will be, Korean is not in that level, it's a fact, because Japanese are putting a lot of effort in details, "Old fashioned cupcake" proove it well, but there so many of them that it's a long list, I watched and loved Korean to the level I'm talking Korean and understand a lot, but it can not be the same level because they mostly think about cash and you see it clearly in their productions, it is well done in terms of filming, but not in ideas and artistic, it's not that there isn't artist , they more go on the films and not the TV. I am watching Chinese and Thailan, and Vietnam, and I like mostly Asian then Western productuions, But I can not stand Netfix productions even if they are Asian, because they make it Western, you can feel it well. I think that it's not of amatter of taste, but a knowladge and background, and follow your age too, If you liked ITSAY it means you are very young, because it's target for young audience, I can tell you he is influenced from Wes Anderson, it's very clear, I do like WA, so I can appriciate the Thai editor, he have more knowladge then other Thai producers, so it's well done drama, I can not argue, it's just that Japanese are very deep, and artistic, they have a lot of Wisdom even in a simple series you can see they have a lot of their mind and abilities, it's part of their culture, that is why even when you visit there everything is well build, with thinking behind it, to add to all of it, Japanese care less about their rating and money, to the level of obsession like Koreans,, and after it Thai, so they put more effort in the Product without involving cash consideration, their values are different, you can see it btw even in their work series, when they put extra effort in what their are doing,
