J100

I watched it today with subtitles and it was better, but still it's less good from the previous episodes, just because it is full of flashbacks and not funny like the rest. although it's not in the level of CM it's still very good drama to my point of view.
I think that most of the Jdrama have depth in terms of exploring situations and educate, it's not really educating, but their perspective is always more into it even in their comedies, it's not really helping probably or really educating, but it's something that the west left behind because their values are all gone, so it's nice to watch it and it has a warmth that no longer exist in other cultures. So I guess this is the "depth" you are talking about

"Shinomiya has been consistent up until this episode" what do you mean?
He took a step back because of the "fist" of Kura

"I don't even know what's in character for Fukuhara because the writing of him is so all-over-the-place " I didn't see any inconsistent in is character, just growing up, late bloomer,
I think maybe you feel that because there is no other characters, and the focus it's on them both only. so it's a heave weight. they talk about it in their interview too.

You need just to keep on watching, I don't think it will disappoint you in the 3 episodes left, although the manga is not good I think here they doing a great job to bring the fun of it

Past few!? it's only 5 episodes ...

One good thing about Thai bl is that the actors always wearing interesting and colorful outfits, not boring at all, like their suit in the interview,

Can someone translate their interview?

Ep 7 shows how much this series is bad, the actors are bad except Max, he is the only actor there, there is no chemistry, and there is no plot, but there is not concistency to the guy that suddenly change his mind after yesterday say he is only his friend, this series is frustrating to watch really, but there is nothing so I skip most of it just to know if it's improve, it's not and will not

I could barely bring myself to watch ep 7, it is so dragy and stupid in another level of stupidity, what a shame of this one, when you want to enjoy fluffy series in the weekend and there is nothing

more like 3-4

Yes, and that is more reason why there will not be a S2, they have no interest to make it for old international audience,
and probably it's not even only for older viewers, but they didn't promote it in any way so only like us that follows the bl knew about it, when the young audience maybe will watch it, it would too late for S2

There is more update in Twitter, when you search "RakDiao" or "EarthWin", they have new interview coming soon, but I don't think it will be translated,
the fans are older then this teens, so there is not a lot of sharing and clips and so on.

I have to disagree, the reason it is so funny it's because of the cartoonish expressions , everything is extreme, the selling falling down on his face, the water splashes, and so on, that is what manga is all about, if you don't like it I think you don't like Japanese live action drama in general, for me it's the best but a lot of people doesn't like it and can not understand it, maybe because I really love Japan and read in the past a lot of mangas and also watched Anime so I am into it more and can understand them more

It is a fantasy comedy, and because he wasn't upset it's what I wrote about him being dull character. it could happened but not in that degree maybe, there need to be more depth to his character, maybe it's the only bad thing in this manga /series
the more I read your comments about it, the more I think you just don't like it from other reasons, it doesn't have depth and it's not a depth series, it's a comedy live action, all of them are build on the same idea, not real, without real characters, just extreme characters, like he is too nice and too much lucky, , and the main character is too unlucky. too much to be "real" as youwant it too be:) it's not a drama at all

It is muted in the meaning of he is thinking about it, but stopping saying it , because Nayoa is enter the room, or something happening, or he is stopping himself for thinking about it, but it's there,
And I don't think it's the reason why you are upset, because you like Plus Minus series, it's worse there, it's already 6 episode and old guy , maybe even close to his 30's , doesn't know how he feels about the gay friend, even after they are kissing he is pretending it's not doing him nothing, so it's worse then this one, at least MR Unlucky is funny and made in high quality, with good and handsome actors,

You mean overall one of the worse bl

I want to add that I understand your frustration about the same loop of figuring out slow thart you are gay in this bl, but it will not change soon, it is the core of Japanese gay character, all the mangas are like that, and it's bascly one of the reasons it's popular, it's target young audience or like me that like comedy, if it made funny and well I don't care about the plot, if it is just plain stupid withou humor it's another problem, mostly doesn't happned in Jdrama

He saying he likes him couple of times, since episode 3 , but it's muted like to hold on the thought, for example when he came home after the date and thinking about the kiss,and in ep 4 when he is sitting in the table, the issue here is a complex of couple of points, and off course stretching them to make it more exiting and funny, first the sexual identity, it's probably not acceptable to be gay in Japan, second, he was a lonely al his life, your 12 age is compare exactly to his 20 years, developing slower as a lonley person, and in a introvert society, so to accept and understand himself it's harder,
The manga is exactly the problem and not the series, there is only one character that carries all of it, and the other one is limited, they improve a lot the manga, I don't know where it will goes, but it could be a dissapointment because where the story goes, infortunattly, there is only 8 episode so they could not develop it more

Why boring? This is exactly as a manga character should be, there is nothing more perfect, he even adding spice beyond the manga,

The series is very similar, there is small details here and there that are different like the silling falling down in the manga, and not water on his face (that is more funny), and more things like that, but overall it's keeping the same,
Nayoa accept Kota, and isn't mad or even so sad, his character is very dull in the manga. but in the live action it's dull too, but a bit less, so we see him a little sad about it, but nothing more, he wants him back,

Another spoiler if you like,

There is no motive behind Naoya liking Kota, he just go with the flow.

Well, this week in ep 5 there is no happy pill, depressing episode, I'm sad they didn't change the manga more they did, because the manga isn't so good, and this on top of short episodes, I must say the main problem is Naoya character, he is very dull even in the manga, totally empty, he is nice but what we got from him isn't enough to be able to like him, it could be they put an episode of only him, but still , up until now he is very dull, I didn't mind about it because there was no drama, but after reading the manga, I understand it's the same until the end , it's a shame because Sota is doig a great job with the character, and he is funny, but it's like not having a real partner, Sato is beautiful but what is more ? is there anything he tribute to his character? nothing, pocker face.

The fans of this series are probably more older then other fans of bl, so they doesn't put any effort for free, at the time I was for example watching Bad Buddy it was filled with sharing videos and shorts, and pictures of Nanon and the other guy, but here almost a desert, nothing, so you can not count on the fans to translate it, I'm not sure even who translated the episodes before the YT channel , it was fast but still probably they got traffic into their website, it's not for free,

Cute but I don't think they have a translation, maybe after a month or half year with the pase of this subtitles,
