I decided to make a comment because I just want to get this off my chest. The girl making story about them and…
I do agree that it was a bit detracting, but after time it was almost a comparing analogy of the typical syrupy trope-h BL and then the reality of what it’s like in their real life—would have helped if maybe someone actually brought that up in the series, otherwise it seems a bit random. Also wondering if it was a way for the channel to give romantic fanservice without taking away from the story. I was honestly kind of glad when they removed it and had more scenes with the main characters but if it was a longer series I may have been okay with every 5 episodes her comparing her novel to real life as a funny comparison
Yes—the series does end a bit rushed at the last minute and could have gone on longer—the original intent was for a long run of episodes but ended at episode 15. But it does have a happy ending, no crying here. It takes an episode or two when they use less of the laugh track and to get used to the sound effects, but imo the sitcom is a funny, goofy, feel-good gem
How haven't I heard of this before with a rating of 8.2? o__oThe synopsis sounds exactly like Roommates of Poongduck…
Correction: Roommates of Poongduck sounds like Rak Diao (Rak Diao came first), so much that I thought it was like a remake or spin-off of the other (plot-wise, not production or language-wise)
Yeah haha.. Because I have watched Rak Diao first. I suddenly realize this show has same premise (just have finished…
Agreed!! They could have done so much better on the promotion end. It’s funny to think that I once had a hard time with the laugh track and sound effects with Rak Diao at first but after a few episodes in it grew on me and had unexpected depth. It was an incredibly underrated, sometimes goofy, and unique show (especially since I don’t see any other BL sitcoms anywhere!)
It very underrated and touching and still has 2 episodes to be released—I definetly recommend watching it, but it may be wise to watch when all episodes are out so you aren’t waiting for another week like the rest of us!!
A big factor that they keep bringing up is that Mamocchi uses the wall and his manga as a form of validation and recognition; whether that be as an artist or as a gay man who wants to be accepted, it’s not clear—but hopefully in his connection with others and with Issei’s authentic encouragement he will find the acceptance he needs to create a marriage of both that art he wants to do and also sprinkle in perhaps something new (experimentation), to what his fans would want too and overall learn how to connect with others (and even use that experience in his work)!
On a side note, I like how Issei brought up that it’s okay to want to be recognized despite everyone saying that shouldn’t be his goal, because that realistic and should not be seen as abnormal. We all want to be recognized, accepted, and wanted in some form or another in our performance, grades, work, art, social media, photos, friendships, and relationships—I think Mamocchi is just more honest about it
