Ep 9 was good, I almost shed a tear right along with him thru that apology scene. Acting was very emotional, felt sincere, liked it. But like some others said, they are making the younger bro take too much spotlight over their situationship, wish the script wasn't a heavy influence from him. Love second couple, they are funny now :) So lovey-dovey!

Binged eps 1-5 and caught up. I like the actors. Backstory is filling in ok to let us know what the characters have faced so I feel more connected to all now. OK..hmm.....that dental finger file, omg and ice a wound with cubes, no ice pack? lol...whew, our Dr/Dentist was getting all hot and bothered! 12 eps total so we have a good way to go to see how this develops. Almost shed a few times too. Enjoying it so far.

Ep 11 and my mouth is hanging open on that ending......I saw that net and immediately thought oh hell no! WOW with one ep left how is this gonna play out? (I seriously have second couple syndrome in this one, not usual for me but their dynamics and storyline content is great!)

well.....lol....ya know, what can I say haha

Absolutely agree. The original author made this story with glaring flaws in the characters and they adapted those flaws straight into this series, Kuji gives me that, if my Daddy didn't show love to me then how can I love and connect to Azuma? Dude, get over it, you old now!! And I saw with Azuma, him begging for any tiny bit of emotion to connect and him being jealous of the editor and the other points you mentioned he slowly has been asking of Kuji. What kills me most is Kuji in the first few eps. is like, omg I could really like him, I want him around etc. and then he backtracks to total silence and he even goes overseas for like 2 years? WTH was that? but comes back a few weeks early cause Azuma's friend passes and NOW he supports him? Kuji sucks lol This is a rip your hair out while watching cause wanna just slap someone all the time :)

Yup! We're viewing this in the same manner. Hope for last 2 eps to be magical and hit us with a nice punch!

I get the feeling these 2 characters should be burning down the bed HA they're not :( More sullen theme based then a feel of a mature adult relationship starting, which should hold fire, someone thru a pail of water on them lol As actors tho I still got that draw to watch them and see how this goes down

yea the growth of the characters isn't advancing for me at all mostly, abet they have made a tiny bit of growth towards each other but also in this series, actually a lot of time has passed since they reunited, and being mature adults ya think they could have a real convo?? Nope, as per a manga, it drags out the miscomm and hidden non-expressed feelings forever sometimes and it seems the script writers put it in this story also lol The maturity level and growth progression of them together should be more advanced by now I thought too, especially with only 2 eps left. We gonna have a AH HA moment and they connect instantly I guess and we all smile a happy ending as they lock in their future together? :) yea!!

I KNOW!!!!

@etoks21 I actually agree with a lot of what you said, but these characters were obviously written to be broken and flawed and have clueless awareness of their connection, that's how much manga storylines flow in that direction and drive that plot hooking the reader to ohh and ahh and relate and say you dumb f to the weak character and cuss the more evil characters while reading HAHA I do, I insult my mains all the time in my manga/manhwa stories lol.....and if this wasn't an adaption from an original work, I can clearly see these characters written a bit different. But I am enjoying the calm/slow of the story. Why, not sure, I think I am liking the actors in their parts, wanna see more.

Ep8 and awwwww. Just silently watching the screen intensely for the emotions that are seeping out and the subtle changes nd growth they are experiencing and how each consider their futures etc. I am so happy with this adaption!!! Enjoyable, fine acting!!

I read the original manga a few times already and yea, they are doing a great job on the adaption. One of the first catches is visual, so casting these actors for Fukami and Kaji was spot on, Fukami really resembles the character art! (I missed the anime, looking it up now!)

yea, crap parents right? That scene was very short really and it conveyed so much about him not feeling love from his parents and then him being envious of Fukami's good family bond. It packed a ton of emotional baggage for him in just a few sentences. Then those few sentences triggered Fukami feeling he only hurts his partner and now he feels he hurt him also....yikes. Writers are good here, they made these short length episodes always have meaningful dialogue, not much air time wasted on unnecessary filler crap I think.

Ep 8 still in love with this adaption for this series. I felt so so sorry for Fukami who is in so deep for Kaji now....and those idiot words I never love to hear from a main, "let's end this now', crying, boo hoo. Ep 9 can't come fast enough!!! Just their moans and Ah, Ahs and heavy breathing is making the NC scenes great for me lol damn!

YUP! It's great! LMAO at MDL Church Girls

Right there with you!!!

Just saw Pavel say it should be released end of year.........Arrrghhh OMG wait is too long for me lol No exact date but he said to check out P'Chod's IG

so agree. Any slower story has to have superb acting also for me to hold interest, and these 2 actors are keeping my eyes on the screen. The maturity level also sets the tone for a chill vibe, not rushed, just good solid performances and based in real/relatable content like you mentioned. We got this show figured out lol

true, this second couple has a true storyline and with that screen time it makes their bond feel like it can hold well on its' own, at least they feel really complete, good writers!

Ep 4 and still enjoying it :) I like there are less characters in the palace court and less emphasis on the overall historical content of dynasty power wars and all that and this has a bit more lean on their establishing their relationship now......I am so happy they had that interaction!! I was grinning like a fool thru it lol I like these 2 guys, the characters and actors! Fun watch.
