wait i just got the netflix notification that this is upcoming, and thought the guy looks so much like daou help XD i had absolutely no idea daou is gonna be there, good thing i checked. can't wait to watch ^^
No, I guess this is all these actors were willing to do. It's different in every show.
omg i remember ''The Novelist'' and ''Mood Indigo'' as the extreme examples of JBL, despite watching them 6/7 years ago. i totally agree with your take on them being very mature XD
ohhh never heard of ''The End of the World With You'', and i just added it to my list. thanks a lot for the recommendation. definitely gonna enjoy that <3
this was such a beautiful refreshing ride. i honestly miss them already, and can't wait for all the cps' 2026 works. their chemistry was topnotch to me, and their characters' communication style and problem-solving abilities, despite their young age, was honestly one of the best out there.

really? but you know what's funny? i just finished watching Love Begins in the World of If, and even their kisses are more like cute pecks. but i haven't yet watched that many JBLs, so good to know that there are more mature kisses out there, so i don't generalize this hehe. thanks for the reply xx
He could have been an illegitimate child. It wouldn't be recognized legally, but they could still be true blood…
that is true, and i understand now that the majority of the critiques comes from the fact that Jeong Han went into this whole thing while being under the impression that Il Jo is his "real" cousin. i guess it can be rooted to cultural knowledge differences and personal beliefs now. cause i know for a fact that marriage among cousins is a real thing in some asian countries, to "keep the blood pure among the family". i personally am not a fan of this concept either, but the negative reviews were confusing me. if this was the reason, then i'm all clear. thanks for the reply xx
but he didn't know that though.. he was fine with being with him even when he assumed they were cousins lol

loved this 🥹 my winner was "reset", and i'm not surprised hehe. also i noticed that i have a few dramas to add to my list, that i haven't even heard about this year. thanks for the game 💖
this was so cute, i need more of them and their relationship :( also i have comments re: the kiss scenes. they reminded me of the kiss scene in Punks Triangle. why don't they open their mouths properly, and just do pecks? is it a JBL thing, or are they following the manga? i'm really curious, and while i'm super bad at reading, maybe i should give the manga a try to compare. has anyone here read the manga?
this was so pretty, and i loved how they fell for each other. also, i would have normally said daou was such a…
btw i wonder if there is any talks about a special episode or something for this series? i feel like the ending kept a few details open (future career, etc.), and we could have had more time with the lead cp. i will comeback to give a higher rating, if we actually get a special, to properly wrap up those details.
this was so pretty, and i loved how they fell for each other. also, i would have normally said daou was such a pushover idiot for being forgiving so many times, but then again, i would have done the exact same thing, knowing how much of a romantic i am. good for them lmfao. now i already miss my daouoffroad. what do i do :(
you still haven't watched it yet, right? it has a happy ending. their relationship is super beautiful, give it…
haha no worries lovely, and ur not alone, cz i also always make sure of the happy ending before i start a series. shedding a few tears during the series is totally fine, but a happy ending is a must for me too hehe. hope u enjoy this when u get to watch it 💖
was i the only one who didn't get disappointed at the cousin fake-plot? from the very 1st episode it is apparent that Iljo is not the real son of his dad, cause there was conversations about how he was not officially added to the family tree due to circumstances. we then get to actually understand those circumstances in the last 2 episodes. so if you know from the very beginning that they are not blood cousins, and not even real cousins (aka officially adopted), why would it be a turn off for you? i have been genuinely curious about this. also some asian countries have weddings and arranged marriages between blood-cousins, and i genuinely hate that; especially if you want to have kids later in life, which genetically is not recommended at all. that's why i got even more confused hearing people's disappointment, when these 2 aren't even real/blood cousins...
For most of the series, I found myself tearing up, half from sadness, and half from joy. Chosen Home is such a beautiful, heart-warming story, and it gently yet honestly touches on so many real-life issues: LGBTQ+ experiences, parenthood, teenage struggles, inclusion, women in the workplace, housing, and the importance of seeing ourselves represented in real life. There are even more themes woven in, and many of them felt deeply personal to me, which makes it especially hard to let go of this series.
I don’t know if I’m wishing for too much, but a second season would be amazing; one that explores the lead couple’s relationship as they settle into their (new) home, Tamaki’s high school life and side job, and the character growth of the guitar workshop’s grandson.
I also gasped when I learned that Tamaki is only 15 years old. She was truly brilliant in this role, and is already such a remarkable actress. I can’t wait to see her future work.
March has such a special place in my heart, bcz he was the one that introduced me to the BL industry in 2013. i still remember him and his character in Hormones. i really hope he gets the chance to act in more BL series. also Fluke is so precious and beautiful. hands down he has one of the most beautiful smiles in the industry, and he gets even prettier as he ages.
