I thought there were 10 episodes for some reason. It seems like there were supposed to be two more episodes, because the ending will probably feel too rushed. It’s a bit strange that there’s only one episode left, since according to the manga it should be two, in my opinion.

I’ll read the manga and maybe get back to you. I also don’t think this series is excellent, but I do think the actors are cute and overall it’s cute. I wrote based on your description and my experience watching Japanese live-action dramas.

I don’t remember a motorcycle in those series either... By the way, I’m not praising or glorifying the drama, I’m just replying to him and his assumption about how things are supposed to be. From my experience with live-action, it’s usually very faithful to the original. I don’t know how good the series is or how closely it follows the manga, it’s cute so far.
I’m sorry, but Therapy Game is one of my all-time favorite mangas, it’s one I go back to again and again,…
I think you’re mixing in your own interpretation and things you personally feel about the characters. It’s like when you read a book and the director sees it one way while the reader sees it another way — that’s what’s happening here too. And actually, based on your own description, Minato fits very well. I haven’t read the manga, but from the character traits you mentioned, he seems appropriate.
As for live-action adaptations not resembling the manga, I disagree. 99% of the time, the Japanese live action looks very similar to the manga in the series I watch, and most of the time it even surpasses it. There are occasional imperfections, but that usually happens when the manga itself isn’t perfect.
Regarding the motorcycle scene — again, that’s solely your interpretation. You think a motorcycle is sexy; to me it’s not sexy at all, just annoying
In short, I don’t think this series is perfect at all. I haven’t read the manga, but based solely on your description — that’s my response.

This is a scene from the manga, and I took it as part of the fantasy. In the manga it’s still somewhat acceptable to have scenes that are detached from reality, even though they make no sense. I thought the Japanese would be responsible enough to leave it only in the manga and not actually put it in the live-action series… but I was surprised to find out it’s already in ..It’s probably airing so late at night that they just didn’t put any regulations on it.
as a heavily pierced person all i could think during the ep 6 hotel scene is that is the quickest way to get an…
This is what I was thinking — I thought about all the serious complications you can get from getting a belly-button piercing at home; it’s much worse than just an infection… lol. And others here were surprised when I wrote that. I find it hard to understand this scene.
I’m so conflicted about this series. I love watching it and I wait for each episode, but at the same time I feel completely frustrated—especially by the total lack of realism.
And in episode 6, the moral inconsistency becomes downright illogical. The main character is sensitive and has layers of depth, yet he can’t recognize faces, which makes absolutely no sense for someone that intelligent. The second character is almost entirely lacking in morals. Yes, he’s portrayed as compassionate and human, but when it comes to the deception (even if there’s an excuse for it), by episode 6 that excuse just doesn’t hold up anymore.
And the whole belly-piercing scene is something that works only in a manga. In the live-action version it’s really frustrating, because I can’t see it as realistic at all—not even close. No one would ever pierce someone at home, especially not on the stomach. So I’m feeling a bit frustrated with the show.
It’s such an enjoyable series with Fujibayashi Yasunari who’s absolutely stunning—just gorgeous—but the plot is so non-plot-like and so disconnected
Still, It’s beautifully directed… the director is doing exceptional work. He’s such a skilled and talented director, and he’s also directing another BLseries I really, really like. He’s excellent.
only thing keeping me sane abt the acting is that this would have been okay if it was an anime- the overreactions…
That’s usually how it is in Japanese series. I find it quite amusing and it adds a certain charm. I’ve watched a few videos of the older lead actor, and his gestures are rather feminine.

Ikushima is an ordinary person, yet at the same time an ideal partner anyone might wish for.
