I really loved the last episode. It was very sad and not easy, but it felt deep, different, and real. It’s a pity that it’s ending so quickly. It’s hard for me to believe there’s only one episode left:(
The first episodes, 1 and 2, were extremely annoying, with all the sound effects, fast transitions, and the opening itself being irritating. But after that, the episodes were better in my opinion. I don’t think there’s much chemistry between the main characters, and I also don’t connect to their appearance. I think the second couple looks better and even has something more attractive in their acting—they feel more authentic.
I also don’t like that one of the characters takes advantage of the naïve guy just to get someone else or to take revenge on someone. I used to be able to watch things like that, but today I’m less forgiving, maybe because it’s not really a comedy, and it just feels a bit mean to exploit another person for revenge.
In any case, it’s a series that passes the time, nothing more.
this kept me from enjoying the show almost completely, but i don’t think it’s the actors’ fault exactly,…
On the face of it, you would be right, but since there are many Japanese series like that, with hesitation before a kiss and the like, I don’t think it’s related to the production—it’s just how it is. And there were times when it worked despite the hesitation; there was still chemistry. There’s also the matter of a look(eyes)that wasn’t there. It definitely felt strange because they felt strange. But of course, that’s your opinion and this is mine. It’s all fine.

I don't think you understood me. There were enough intimate scenes—there were a few kisses, and one scene was more intimate than just a kiss. But it didn’t work because there’s no chemistry between them. I think the actors are excellent and the production was fine
The series was overall cute until the end, but there was no chemistry between the actors. They looked more like friends, There was enough physical interaction between them .
Ep 10 is the most episode though. It's a philosophical discussion on the loneliness epidemic in Japan.
In my opinion, it’s not related. I think it’s because the audience is older, and as usual with older audiences the story is told more reservedly, with almost no intimacy. That’s because they attract viewers who expect it and then disappoint them. It’s not the first time; this style has been going on for years. I can understand his vulnerability and why he’s hurt, and it’s completely legitimate that he prefers to be alone in such a situation, but it could have been told in a more engaging way. At this stage of the series, communication is still possible. For example ,even in “cherry Magic,” the breakup episode was much more successful than this one—it just drifted into irrelevant scenes that didn’t add much. In any case, I think it was time to move on, to progress. It has already turned into a trend rather than a real attempt to deal with the issue.
This constant insertion of a small child into the BL story is becoming sickening, and the fact that an adult is jealous of him makes it even more disturbing. The series is deteriorating
I'm sad it's over. Such a sweet series that only got better with each episode. The actors were excellent, the plot was charming, the music was great. The second-to-last scene felt so natural—everything was calm, genuine, and a joy to watch. And I really love Soma; he's a wonderful actor, and his character was absolutely delightful.
I can’t seem to finish the tenth episode… I’m wondering if I should even keep watching until the end. Something just isn’t working, something feels missing.
It feels like they’re friends rather than a couple, and their dialogue is very shallow and doesn’t develop, at least in this episode. It’s uncomfortable to watch.
Overall, the main character leaves me with an uneasy feeling because of the unresolved conflict with his mother, which sometimes makes it feel more like a suspense series than a romance.
I don’t understand why Muto Kaishin likes Rakumoto Ai so much when he treats him like trash, like a gigolo and pays him, and even curses and yells at him. It’s pretty disgusting. That’s why it’s not an authentic Japanese series. Usually, a person like that is someone you leave behind to start a new beginning with someone good, kind, and considerate. But in this case, it’s more in the style of SKorea or Thailand.
pheww, held off my review for quite a long time considering the fact that I finished this same day last EP aired,…
The Japanese have always been at the top of my list and still are. There’s just no one like them — when it comes to production quality, emotional depth, humanity, and storytelling, they have no competition. Everything they do is so well thought out. Sure, there are disappointments here and there, no doubt, but overall… they have something that others don’t, and that’s depth.
That depth is missing with the Chinese because they simply can’t be authentic and human; everything feels engineered. And honestly, that reflects their country in general and everything they produce.
I feel like everything you wrote mirrors exactly what I went through, especially with the dubbing — it was just so hard for me, and it only got worse as the episodes went on instead of improving. It frustrated me even more.
I have to disagree with you about the actor, though. I think he was really bad and ruined a lot of the enjoyment for me, especially in the episodes where he needed to convey more complex emotions, like crying or happiness.
Despite everything, I’m back here commenting after the series has already ended because I kind of miss them, and that feeling they created in the early episodes. It was so fun at the beginning… It really bums me out, so I’m just letting it out a bit here in the comments.
I'm on ep18 and I've genuinely had to pause to take a break multiple times the last couple of episodes. The first…
Yes, that’s exactly how I felt… It’s a shame because, in a way, I miss them. They were really a part of my daily routine during the first half, and I was absolutely obsessed with both of them… Ugh, it sucks.
I also don’t like that one of the characters takes advantage of the naïve guy just to get someone else or to take revenge on someone.
