I like that this story is more on the realistic side of life, but I would have liked Tojo to get some sort of character development/introspection/facing his fears/whatever. It's so depressing to see him struggling like that. Seems like he has no eye in how Keiji is feeling either, like he said some hurtful things as well and isn't apologizing at all. I'm glad his coworker noticed though and he got some family time to cheer him up.
I would have preferred to watch this series in 1 go, if I knew it was going to be so angsty for along stretch of episodes. I feel like this series was mostly presented as cute and fluffy slow burn romance. I don't feel any burning but Tojo's brain trying to rewind and forget everything to escape this existential crisis π
Even tho Iβm not as old as Suzumi, Iβm only 22, but oh my god this hits way too close. Life is already really…
I'm so sorry you feel this way. I have to say I felt the same way around that age (36 now), and it got better getting older, finding friends and purpose in life. Maybe you could try new experiences and find things that give you a sense of fulfillment and belonging, one step at a time. The things that are unclear now, don't dwell on them, they will get more clear on its own time. It's okay to just focus on living now for a while and not having to figure everything out at once.
But on another note, I agree I would also have preferred to know this show was getting deep and existential crisis before I started watching. I don't mind, but then I also plan it to watch it on another time, not when I need a bit relaxing slice of life to unwind at the end of the day π π
When I started this, I thought it was gonna be all cutesy and fluffyβ¦ but now tell me why Iβm getting hit…
Yeah I wasn't ready either. I don't mind angst but I prefer knowing beforehand π I feel this was not how the series was presented and how it started off. I would have waited for all episodes to be out, not watching every week feeling my heart ripped out.
I can understand the comments I read complaining that this episode didn't show progress between main couple and…
These are all valid points, but then don't promote the story as a lovestory where the ML are 'slowly closing distance', because the distance is still miles away from my point of view in ep 10. I get how frustrating and frightening it must be for Tojo, but it would have been nice to see a bit more character growth, it feels like he is still stuck in the same thought patterns.
I hope Suzume doesn't take him back so easily. Keishi should suffer at least for one more episode so he will learn…
Eh Suzume did the exact same thing to Keiji though. Suzume didn't want anyone to know. What is Keiji supposed to do? He also apologized, which Suzume didn't even think to do, and Suzume said hurtfulthings as well. He is just as unconfident and closed off as in the beginning of their 10 weeks...
Itβs ok but Iβm not blown away by anything and itβs not doing anything exceptionally well so far so the…
Oh wow, that's not my experience at all with Khemjira. I'm glued to my seat and feel like the episode is over so fast. There is not that much action that's correct, but it's the tension and bonds that are being formed that are doing it for me. Also I love all the ritual details and scenic vibe.
I'm kinda hooked but at the same time struggling with how incohesive it feels and looks to me. The actors seem to be styled each by a different person or something. The only one that really gives me credible vampire vibes is Mark.
I love that BounPrem are back, but the way Boun's character changes from comedy to serious and back gives me a whiplash. Also I like that it's faster paced, but at the same time I'm struggling to follow the storyline (maybe is a me thing π ).
The editing seems a bit choppy and the scenes sometimes feel like they are from a different story/director glued together. I hope it gets more cohesive and less campy but maybe I just have to roll with it .
Also did anyone notice the "throne" of Ciar was an air mattress π€π That was hilarious to me lol.
I really like this series actually. Not a lot is happening on the surface, but there is a backstory behind both characters and why they act like that. I like how it is serene and simple, but at the same time both characters have deep/conflicting emotions for each other. Maybe it is a bit of a stretch that Natsuo didn't recognize Hiro, but tbh he doesn't look or sound alike.
I love that the actors seem comfortable with eachother, as well as their characters in the story. There is not a lot of kissing or skinship, but they have good connection. In the beginning it was weird that Natsuo popped up without asking. But I guess that is kind of their dynamic, Natsuo very in your face and unbothered, Hiro very closed off and overthinking.
Even without seeing the last episode and the ending I am quite sure I will rewatch this one. I just really like the calm but emotional vibe this one has, like a lot of other Japanese bl.
I started watching this when it was released and only just finished it now. I liked the ML and other actors, but I found myself watching a lot on 1,5x speed. The story got kinda repetitive? Also how many walks in the same street were filmed π₯² I also got annoyed with the lack of communication between ML but I guess that happens a lot in series.
I really loved that all the members of Mars got their own backstory as well and there where important themes like friendship and the problematic music industry. The chemistry was also good between ML. I'm glad I finished it, but it was kind of a struggle ngl π
Overall I really liked the story and execution, although I would have liked a bit more action and a little less sweetness. The chemistry between ML is amazing though. Only thing I didn't feel much for was the villain. I get he had to act like a madman, but I didn't find it very scary or realistic.
This looks promising from the first episode. Kinda scary with the jump scares. But the threat from Jet to leak the phone number had me laughing hard for a long time lol.
I love the idea of this series, but I find it a bit heavy on the company/stocks/technical information that for me is hard to follow. Also I noticed there is a lot of talking but not that much of action scenes, or actually showing what is happening. Which for me makes it a bit less interesting to watch. I still like the story though and will keep watching. Just not the style of filming I expected.
Wang Shuo has such a beautiful style. Also, you can tell his schemes are rooted in his own vulnerability, there…
WS's behavior gives more of a borderline personality disorder than bipolar I think. I also don't know what to think of his brother. It's giving too good to be true how he's acting toward WSW, and he's quite forceful and distant towards WS. I wonder if he mistreats his brother and contributed to WS's illness or if it's a reaction to not being able to handle WS's mental problems
I liked the show more in the beginning. I found myself skipping a lot in the last few episodes. I like the story and the actors. I didn't feel much chemistry though between 2 ML, they felt more like friends. I do like Mark and Ohm, maybe not together? It was a lighthearted sweet story, but I didn't feel the romance.
I'm on like ep 6 or 7.... but the ML lost me... I hate when ppl come to the worst conclusions about someone who…
Don't worry, his eyes will open and he will understand if you keep watching. FL doesn't try to explain because someone that is angry and in pain doesn't listen. And ML has a lot of reasons to be angry and scared because of how he was treated by bad shamans in the past. It holds a lot of trauma for him, but he will realise what FL has done for him and he will apologize and fall for her.
It's kinda hilarious how p Sorn was teaching Jun in ep 2 to go slow and not to rush. Then proceeded to never doing…
Actually I watched back their first nc scenes and Sorn was alway quite gentle until Jun running away and wanting a break. After that he became more forceful and never got back to being more gentle, even when they reconciled. Which is a shame honestly. It felt like Jun stayed anxious and uneasy and Sorn as well, even though he tried to change and ask for consent.
I'm glad his coworker noticed though and he got some family time to cheer him up.
