WEIRD & TWISTED BUT A SWEET LOVE ! :)
What I have observed is, MBS Network brings New but Weird concepts for dramas especially BLs, either there will be a character with twisted personality or an odd storyline.
(Are such Mangas, different but with refreshing themes, chosen for drama adaptations deliberately to seek the attention of the audience or just a coincidence? Haha)
Anyways, even such twisted stories or odd characters too, find beautiful True Love finally, such stories are executed very well as a drama n that makes me to love their BL dramas :)
(U can check their list of BL dramas. Almost every drama has one odd point in it but is a hit with 8+ rating :) )
Such stories are Extremes, either U LOVE them even being peculiar or HATE for all the nonsense n toxicity, haha
That said, even this drama depicts a Story of Two problematic characters.
***** STORY:
The Story revolves around only two characters -- Two extreme introverts, who act immature or obsessive, can not communicate their feelings clearly and with dangerous levels of own assumptions n prejudices.
A Story of Love and Emotional bond between two such persons.
This drama proves that even such extreme reserved people can fall in love deeply with each other and have a Happy Ending (though troubled n bumpy throughout the journey).
This couple proved that deep love can exist between twisted personalities too, who usually take a negative meaning of anything and everything, even when love is expressed in a positive way.
This negativity is all bcz that the love expressed in actions, is indirect. Though in deep love, they really can't express it directly in words n that is the greatest drawback in their relationship.
It looks like a Master - Slave relationship but No. It's an Unrequited Love from both their points of view.
(God, these babies! Eye rolls, Haha)
Each of them, thinks the other doesn't reciprocate their love and this confusion happens only bcz of Zero or No Open Communication in their relationship, Wrong Own Assumptions & Lack of Transparency in their thoughts with each other.
This confusion continues throughout the drama to the extent that irritates the viewer, haha.
Also, this Master - Slave relationship looks toxic but in the end, it is shown as it's their weird way of loving each other, (What !? :O Poor me, for tolerating their twisted love tale till the end n yet enjoying it, haha)
As a viewer, U'll have an extreme Love - Hate relationship with this story.
(Some might find this boring, toxic n may drop this drama while others, like me, though it is toxic, find it cute n love it :) )
*** Just a Fun Thought:
Some PROBABLE EXAGGERATED REACTIONS of the viewers (like me, haha) while watching this drama:
1) Seeing their misunderstandings n lack of communication even over silly topics and getting irritated n tired of watching those misunderstandings repeatedly, U get angry n wanted to scream to their faces saying "Silly Bakas, Just Talk!", haha
2) But then in the next frame, when they are Sweet n Caring, U will be in happy tears seeing them all fluffy :)
(Me, Too much Drama! Hehe)
3) Also as though, One introvert character being silent n unreasonable with overthinking n own assumptions, is not sufficient, the director and the writer gave us two such MLs, OMG! :o
(Haha, this story really creates anxiety issues to the viewers 🤭)
***
Overall, though a Weird n lil Toxic Love bcz of all the Unnecessary Misunderstandings, Assumptions n Zero Open Communication, still I love Segasaki n Yoh ! :)
(Maybe, my PMS moods made me to love this toxic tale!? :O, God! Haha)
Re-watched it many times.
Poor Boys! They are such babies in love complicating everything unnecessarily :)
Silly Bakas! ;)
*****
Direction, Story Writing, Story Narration, Story Progression n Pacing, EVERYTHING NEEDS IMPROVEMENT.
THIS IS LOVELY ONLY BECAUSE OF THE CAST & THEIR PERFORMANCES, else this love story of Zero Communication is impossible to watch.
Cinematography n Production are Cool.
***** ACTORS & CHARACTERS:
Anyways, Segasaki is better and mature than Yoh, though gloomy & introvert like Yoh or faking being social with everyone else at job.
Sega, may not be direct but atleast he tries to express his love indirectly through his actions n unfortunately Yoh takes all such actions of Sega as controlling or obsessive and never tries to show his own love towards Sega :(
Both are Weird enough n Sega is better than Yoh in that weirdness too! :)
Usually, it's boring and frustrating to watch such a relationship which is full of misunderstandings but these TWO ACTORS (Higuchi Kouhei and Mashiko Atsuki) really brought out the quirky eccentric nature of both the characters and their weird love for each other, they brought life to the characters and hence made this drama watchable, tolerable and a lovable one! :)
If the casting to these two roles is different or if the characterization is different, I wouldn't think that I could watch it.
And so the Actors' Performances are AMAZING and done right to their roles!👌🏻
I really want more of their love, only these two actors in these roles.
Though it's a love with misunderstandings and painful but at the times when they are sweet and caring, it's too Fluffy n Hot to watch :)
Their Sweet Moments are Full of Passion and Strong Love :)
(I want more than 8 eps, haha)
Sega n Yoh are so SAME being introverts n yet DIFFERENT - Yoh is too silent n immature while Sega is reasonable n mature at times.
Manju (Yoh's female friend) n her husband are Sweet.
While our boys couple is Hot.
Actor Kouhei (Sega) is cool.
Actress Sayuri (Manju) is pretty.
Actor Atsuki (Yoh) :
Our Hagi (my fav char) from JDrama "How I Attended an All-Guy's Mixer".
His role here is a complete contrast to that role, Hagi.
And Atsuki performed very well in showing the variations in both the roles -- comedic (there) vs introvert (here).
There, he is loud, goofy n a confused funny soul🤭 n here, too silent :/
The actors' chemistry is Natural and Realistic!
Now, Sega n Yoh are one of my fav BL couples just bcz of the actors Kouhei n Atsuki! :)
SEGA -YOH, weirdly, THEY ARE MADE FOR EACH OTHER! 💕
***** SOME MORE RANTING:
This series is saved only by these two Actors and their Amazing & Lovely Chemistry.
Even such Imperfect Story Would Be Perfect, if some of these are made clear in the drama:
1) Why Sega proposed a live-in, instead of a direct love proposal first, that too to our dumb Yoh (who takes his own meanings n misunderstands even when a matter is said directly)?
Maybe a back story from their college days, just one more scene of Sega's thought process when he fell in love with Yoh in college n the reason to make an indirect proposal.
2) During College days, how long they were friends and Now from how long they were dating or living together?
All such time periods, if shown exclusively, it will be clear to the smooth flow of the story and easy to understand their story.
Also if the Ending is made little better, this toxic story would be perfect bcz of good character arc.
But now the Ending gave a vibe that there is absolutely no character development for both the characters :(
****** SPOILER *******
ENDING is lil disappointing bcz they are back to square one :(
They got a Happy Ending and Communication between them is improved a bit in finale (ep 8) but again dropped to level zero, fell back to the starting point n making both of them to do the same mistake - "Lack of communication, only inner voices with own imaginations".
Few important matters n misunderstandings are still left unclear between them n so back to almost zero communication like in the beginning, God! :(
For eg, Yoh n Sega should have cleared that misunderstanding about Manju's Husband :o
If everything is cleared, it would have helped to build Trust with better understanding n avoid any sort of assumptions or misunderstandings further in their relationship.
The FINALE ep gave an INCOMPLETE FEELING as though it is RUSHED to give a RANDOM CLOSURE :(
Their misunderstandings are not clarified, still they have trust issues & obsessive childish behaviour even at the end.
There is No Maturity in their Relationship and absolutely, No Character Growth towards the end that U expect after 8 eps.
Sega is not a person who says "I Love You" in Words but expresses his Love only in his Actions.
Yoh is a person who cannot understand Love expressed in Actions.
Right from the time Sega proposed live-in (in the beginning of the series) and the actions done by Sega out of Pure Love, Yoh took everything as a Master - Slave relationship was proposed by Sega :o :|
N so Now in the end, when Sega with great difficulty, pushed himself to express in words, asked Yoh to stay forever with him, he meant "Love/ Lover" but our dumb Yoh may take it as "Slave" forever..
( God, these two! :|
It's my bad to expect character growth, haha)
This Ending is not like a Happily ever after with all misunderstandings cleared but it's more like a Cliff hanger Ending with temporary happiness with only few issues cleared + still, a lot of misunderstandings + still, lack of communication, jst like how they were in ep 1.
I'M DISAPPOINTED WITH THE ENDING! :|
Whether they did get or no but I didn't get a Full Closure to their story, haha
POORLY WRITTEN CLIMAX!
So Need S2 or a Special Episode to conclude this story but with more clear and transparent communication between these two extreme Introverts.
***
Kouhei n Atsuki in Behind The Scenes, all smiling, are so lively n lovely, unlike the gloomy vibe in the drama.
And so, this shows that they acted their roles very well (that variation of lively, offscreen irl vs gloomy, onscreen)
***** OST:
Opening n Ending themes are Very Good and suit well to the theme of the drama.
MV of the Opening theme is very lively & playful as they are all smiling n playing in rain like a cute couple, in contrast to the gloomy vibe in the drama :)
Piano BGMs are Good, Soft and Soulful.
***** RATING:
My RATING for my silly boys is 9.5 / 10.
(Though my Review looks like a lengthy Ranting, I love this drama a lot to the extent that I can't give anything other than a positive 9.5 , hehe)
One of my fav dramas n fav couples !! ✨
I MISS THEM! :|
