girl 24 is still so young it's normal for girls like tohka to have never had a boyfriend. she did say she was…
Yes, I hear you. However, to many men, it would feel like dating a needy child with very little life experience. That is in no way attractive, irrespective of how pretty she was. It felt like she's lived in a bubble, which also amazed me as she was an actress. The only standard she portrayed to me was the fact she liked tall men and desserts.
What an utterly ridiculous response. If you don't want to see the person's responses, simply scroll on. It really is that simple. Your post is both rude and dogmatic. No problem to think what you think, however, in this regard, I think the term: "First world problems" equates well to you. They are not abusing the comment section, they're simply utilising, what is a comments platform to its full extent.
How unnecessarily rude of you. You do realise this is platform formed for people to comment about dramas right? You can clearly see she is excited about the drama, so why not leave her to continue to enjoy herself and take your negative, misogynistic energy somewhere else.
I despise reality TV and especially UK reality TV, it’s the reason why I turned off my TV 7-years ago and turned to the likes of Netflix and Asian TV. UK reality television is vacuous and all about unintelligent, self-absorbed people looking to get rich quick solely based on their looks and physic.
So, I surprised myself when I decided to give this series a try. I did it because it was Japanese and I thought the concept of dating without a mobile phone was innovative and interesting. I’ve also travelled around the South of France and visited all the places featured, so I was interested to see how they'd depict it.
I enjoyed the series. However, I found myself taking a huge dislike to Mimi. She was an absolute player, gold digger and totally fake. That book she carried around on how to behave to attract a partner said it all to me. There is no doubt in my mind that she only chose Akkun because he is wealthy. Additionally, we were only told that she worked part-time. Part-time at what? We were never told, yet we knew the occupations of everyone else. Additionally, nobody asked what she did for a living among the cast and the presenters also never mentioned it, yet she clearly wore designer clothes. All quite strange.
I felt for Tokha, sadly, not many men are attracted to a woman with so little life experience, especially in terms of men. I found myself asking: “How on earth have you got to 24 and never dated?” She was just too childish and needy. However, I have huge respect for her, as she did go on an enormous journey of self-discovery, which was much needed.
Aru's meltdown episode was pure car crash TV. It was painful to witness. I felt so embarrassed for him - hugely uncomfortable viewing. I kept shouting: "Pull yourself together man!" Respect to Mimi, she handled it well.
My favourite person was the Brand business owner, Kyoko. She had such screen presence, highly intelligent, eloquent and lovely to everyone.
It is definitely an interesting watch. I'd highly recommend. It's a 7/10 for me.
Oh, JG. We're talking about a BL here. If the parents don’t die horribly in a car accident, how could BL as…
I hear you. Personally, I really couldn't get my head around why Fujisawa denied loving Sei, even with his explanation, it will never make sense to my brain. If anything, I'd want to protect, love and fuck him harder. #JustSayin'
The series follows the novel arc so this episode is not really different from the novel. It's not satisfying for…
I hear you and thank you for telling me about how the novel is depicted. I just don't believe that the written word can always be translated into the visual.
And in this case, it honestly didn't translate. For example, I've heard in the novel, they were fucking like rabbits for 2-days straight in the hotel. They never showcased this in the drama, and I get it. Time being a bummer 😆It took the written word to tell us this.
For me, if you're writing and depicting a drama like this, which at its core, is about sex, be it the lack of and communication breakdown between partners, you should be thinking only about how your can exacerbate it to make it fruitful for your visual audience.
And, so it concludes. I've said it previously, this drama could have been my all-time favourite BL ever, however, those final 2-episodes, massively placed a spanner in the works for me, and I'm currently conflicted as to the rate I will give it.
Why? Because, two men continued to come together bound by their natural affinity to one another. That part moved me. The dialogue between them was always direct and straight to the point, mainly from Sei's perspective, dashed with much needed doses of Hagiwara's kindness, comfort and off-the-scale beauty. Damn, Muto Jun, is indeed a seriously beautiful man, so made for camera, which is impossible to ignore and so very, very captivating. Man, did he deliver his character, as did Ito Asahi.
So what went wrong? Honestly, WTAF was that reasoning behind Fuji's treatment of Sei? Writer, are you taking the actual piss? I ask this honestly. You could have written something beautifully poignant and captivating and instead you chose to go down the utterly unbelievable and laughable path of: "I saw your parents in their car. Waved. Talked and then they died. It's all my fault. If I hadn't waived and held them back, they'd be alive." Who, honestly, would believe this shit, or make it up as a plausible plot line in a drama? That's the sort of ridiculousness that I was reading at the age of 8, with Mills & Boon. Really, that's the path you chose? To my brain, it honestly, beggars belief. You did yourself a massive disservice.
However, all-in-all, this was a drama that resonated with me. It was Creative. Innovate. Captivating and most-importantly, thought provoking. I adored the way sex was at the core of its narrative and its implications around rejection, loneliness and lack of comfort felt across all characters.
I'm going to hold off posting my final rating as MDL seems to believe there's an EP8 incoming.
We get it. We get it. Rain. Rain. Sunshower. Rain. Downpour. Rain. Symbolism. Rain… Now that it's raining more…
Oh, for the love of symbolism. Fucking hilarious my friend. I hope you had said tune on in the background, tapping away, while provocatively shaking your tush and busting out your vocals for all and sundry to hear. Now, that would be a scene to behold. #JustSayin'
"We fucked like rabbits." Yes, you tell him Sei. Let him know you fucked like rabbits for two, exhausting and fulfilling days straight. But, you didn't want to hear that did you, you psycho mother fucker, so instead viciously raped him. Karma is indeed a bitch and that bitch it coming to get you. Irrespective of the situation, our men will see that you can never deny what the heart desires. It is called a huge flaw of human nature for that very reason.
Kudos to Kaori, at least she had the dignity to bow out gracefully. However, I did find myself wanting to slap her sexless face so damn hard when she said "I might have found a way if you had slept with a woman, but I don't understand why it had to be a man. That's what's bothering me. To touch each other's bodies, would be unbearable." And then the bitch troll from hell, had the audacity to say: "You blame me?" WTAF! Yes, he does blame you. However, he's too much of a gentleman to actually tell you directly, so chose: "I'm not your pet dog Kaori." Respect Hagiwara, huge respect.
I find it quite strange how the writer has made the conversations between our lead characters so direct, straightforward and to the point. There is zero fluff in this drama, which I adore. Yet both Sei and Hagiwara, have struggled for so very, very long to have a straightforward conversation with their partners. I suppose that's why this drama is so damn captivating, riveting and appealing.
I just so want the final episode to be 23.59 minutes of pure, unadulterated love.
