NotYourOppa

There was many beautiful scenes. My favourite was the last one from the past between Rinko and her mother. The knitted breast - I almost cried.

I loved it. But what's with this ending, really?!

I agree, it was a very messy realization. On the 3rd ep I started to wonder if I'm watching not full episodes but some parts of them. Also the description here didn't match then.
As for Best I'm thinking maybe she was mentally slow or smth. Remember that she strangely smiled at everybody - probably in order to "make friends". And she couldn't say "no".

However I appreciate the education value of the drama. Hope it'll teach - not only - teens how stupid and sensless it is just to run around with a phone and record every person without their consent or even knowing about it only to post the videos later on the internet. Also to watch that content and immerse themselves in the neverending comments mostly being boorish and offensive.

I'm in love... with the corpse - I mean Zombie ;) One of the best corpse I've seen and the best actress in this drama ;)

Oh thank goodness we have Maria Schaff to explain everything to the poor us. How would we live otherwise...

Now seriously:
First: speak for yourself and don't overuse "we" - if you wait "for the guy to break through your barriers" that's your problem.

Second: it was just a bad made drama - when the guy is "caring and understanding" for most of the time but when it comes to even kissing the vibe is totally off to the not-comfortable-dominant direction.

Third: the girl was weak enough not to be able to scream or fight back. It looked like she didn't want it and afterward she would rationalize like "but we are together so it's ok", "I wasn't screaming so maybe I wanted it" or smth. That kind of dumbness makes me want to puke.

I respect different points of view and everyone can rate and watch dramas that comes to his/hers liking - and we all here are expressing our opinions on them - so the one that should think before opening mouth is YOU.
The fact that you are especially active in the comment section under this drama is striking and strange how much you defend it. Looks like you either have enormous amount of free time or you get money for that - I wouldn't be surprised :P

Oh no!:) I really appreciate that one in a time I can watch a drama without forced, stupid romance thread stuffed in the plot :D It was absolutely unnecessary in this story :)

By "the japanese way" I mean that it often is quite theatrical and unreal BUT while watching you don't scream to yourself "oh it couldn't happen" or "that's too unbelievable". because those scenes show something very true.
And by respecting circumstances I was talking about how Japaneses show pretty well that everybody has their own problems and points of view - which is a truism acutally... But somehow I really like how exactly them are doing it:D Let me tell about another drama "Toumei na yurikago" which is a story of a very young girl who starts to work at a maternity clinic. After the first episode I put it on hold because it looked to me as an anti-abortion propaganda but I'm glad I've retured because it was nothing like that :) Actually it's not a propaganda on any side. The drama makers managed to show more complex or less complex, sometimes naive and sometimes very hard situation and attitudes towards pregnancy. I hope that the (thinking) "pro-birthers" whould watch it and I hope they would understand finally how complex and wretched it might be and that no one can ever tell a pregnant girl or woman what she can or what she can't do - being the one and only in that state. And it doesn't mean "an encouraging to abortion".

Back to "Fujoshi..." - asking: "what does this series tell us?" might be wrong. Imo it's "what does this series tell us about?"
Maybe I'm immune to that but also I don't think that they showed us "a glorification of heteresexuality" or that being gay is always pure horrible while being straight is "beautiful" and trouble-free.
However you wrote a very interesting analysis of the kiss scene. I have to watch (marathon;D) the whole drama again and see if I've (hugelyXD) missed something :)

That's true however such sexism is everywhere and people believe such behaviours are okay or not-that-bad. (I've recently left a comment under a chinese drama that I think is damaging - "Professional single" is the title) Pointing only manga is a little unfair. Also people will react differently on a woman and on a man so if you want to induce specific reactions you can use it (as an author of manga/book or any online content when you don't have to show yourself or speak;)).

I will come back to the Ho Goo's Love (because we are making a huge off-topic here:D) and I'll say one funny thing about the scene at the beginning of every episode where Ho Goo is wiping Do Hee's shoe. Actually I don't really like it (and I think it's because of those "equality" and "respect everyone" sayings that antifeminists dislike so much - and if any of them would have seen the scene for sure he will be mocking that "those feminists speak highly about mutual respect but are happy when a man is treated unfairly). I think it was unnecessary - maybe if the one wiping was the rapist as an eternal punishment it would be different :P

Kyaa~ Thank you!:D
edit: I saw that they write the subs are out but in the adresses of those links there are still "raw" and no subtitles are visible :(

I hope you won't feel offended eighter by what i'm gonna write. At first I've hoped you meant that - if someone wants - one can watch this drama to see something that might be harmful for a very young audience (I wish to believe that the older one won't be bought by these).
However it also might be a guide or an educational material on what is WRONG. I regret that young girls and women aren't really thought about boundaries in relations with guys which when are crossed should light big red light and lead to breaking contact with that person. Like: if he pushes you in anger or "for fun" you can be sure he will beat you and break your bones later - leave him, now. I know it's a vivid example but I can give another one - right from this drama: Qin Shen treats Yuan Qian like his possession (I pointed his behaviour in my first comment), all those grabs and bossying lead to actually a rape case.

I think there are so many light, fluffy, funny and unreal dramas to be enjoyed out there that we can leave a harmful one. Even if you like a strong, cold, tsundere type of male lead and innocent-not-to-say-dumb female lead it can be done without violence.

And I agree with you that some points have to be overlooked in order to enjoy most of the dramas - believe me I do that too :D and I enjoy many of them. But it doesn't mean there are no limits for that. I think abuse is one of them.

How would I know? :D 2 months isn't really long while waiting for english subs for j-drama/movie ;)

I loved the tv series but the movie was so boring :/

It's on kissasian now too. No need to download.

However the guy is from Estonia :D (in real life, not in the drama)

I have to admit it bothered me also. Maybe without "dumb" - I assumed he sounds a little weird because he's non Japanese. But "big-fat-gaijin" (with a beard like a woodcutter) was the only flaw of this drama.
My reluctance though got slightly better after I read the actor's bio. He's a former sudo wrestler. Maybe Japaneses are likely to know about it so they don't see him only as a fat-gaijin.

I've only watched 2eps but how could there be "GENDERLESS" (guy) in the title?? When (as far as I've seen) NO ONE is genderless? There's only a guy who says he's a "guy" (and uses "boku") but wears not-so-"manly"-clothes.
I wanted to see a drama with a real genderless thread, so I'm disappointed. (Plus - Kira is super-annoying)

You're welcome :)
Fun fact: you'll need to watch the deleted scenes (from the second season) to know who exactly is that girl ;)

I heard about it. They should have him retired.
Japan society is very conservative and it changes very slow. Maybe in Europe it happens faster but men 40-50+ are likely to be such pricks. This might show how fast the changes came.
The saddest part is that young men and teenagers are very susceptible to sexist attitude. And even if we're optimistic that it changes for better all the time, it doesn't mean the regress is impossible :/

Why mix them in here? There're so many mangas and animes out there that I don't really like to point "manga" as a sign of sexism in Japan. Or saying they're only "porn cartoons".

I mean that they might grew up and still make the same things. Somehow.

Yeah and they're still sweeping which makes me furious. And I'm livid when I hear something like "he made a mistake, he's young, let's not break his future" or when the discussion starts from how girls/women act or dress and how it is "provoking".
