Stay by My Side After the Rain is a warm and easy-to-watch Japanese BL series about two childhood friends who were once very close, but grew apart because of misunderstandings and one-sided love. Years later, they meet again as young adults—and this time, they get a second chance at love.
The story is soft and emotional not too heavy but touches on real-life issues like coming out to your parents, standing up for yourself at work and among friends, and growing up with a parent who struggles with mental health. These themes are handled with care, and give the story some extra depth.
The characters feel more real than in many other recent Japanese BL dramas. Their emotions, reactions, and struggles are believable, and the two actors do a great job bringing their relationship to life. The chemistry between them is natural, and the slow build of their romance feels sweet and sincere.
Even though the pace is a bit slow at times, it fits the mood of the series. It’s a calm, feelgood story that still manages to say something meaningful. Definitely worth watching!
