Hmm fair enough it is still Japanese TV with its content-limits.
When the promo-pictures of episode 6 get posted around this Saturday then I'll be more certain.

It's true unfortunately. But there's a novel that's completely translated and online that you can read afterwards. It gives some extra info that the drama didn't have time to explain, tho I prefer the drama-version of the plot up till now.

Have you seen the first trailer of the show?
Because there's 1 scene of the final episode in there that we haven't seen yet and it sure looked like something was about to go down lol.

As far as I can tell it is uncut. There's indeed no translations but I understand very basic Japanese so I managed to make sense of it without needing much subs.

I know sketchyblsubbingteam fansubbed episode 1 so googling the name might get you to that one.

How did he not realize until the last episode?

Not every comment online needs to be taken 100% literal. I'm just hyping pre-release, let me be at peace and we can all point at the movies flaws post-release ok?

This show is super rare to find for some reason. Even Youku (Chinese title: 日耀云帘) doesn't seem to host all episodes anymore. I've recently seen the Facebook page of CH3 post episodes and Youtube hosts like the first 3 episodes.

The rumors ->
''Because the drama was based on political and political corruption, there were many reports that a politician ordered the immediate cessation of its broadcast.''

The official statement ->
''NBTC announced that Channel 3 itself ordered the ban of the drama. Because the content may violate the Broadcasting and Television Business Act of 2008, Section 37, some politicians from the Democrat Party have expressed their disagreement with the ban on this drama.''

Like Discord servers or you can read Japanese reviews on chil-chil (one of the more wellknown fujo-sites in Japan).

A few more days til the release of the most iconic BL movie of this decade.

Yea OG Ogami is kinda a tsundere thanks to this whole sequence of events.

Me going into the discourse of Parallel vs Original Ogami ^

''I want to get along with everyone at Sales + I want to be acknowledged by Ogami''.

Some wishes can be made true by our own strenghts and other wishes were maybe never needed in the first place.

Okay so there's a lot of discourse online regarding Parallel Ogami vs Original Ogami. But I kinda wanna also focus on Kano, what he wanted out of this experience and what was important for him.

First, original world backstory ->
Kano is hardworking and unable to show his vulnerable side to his colleagues, he wants to earn respect the hard way but is unable to befriend those around him using those tactics.

This obviously backfires as Original Ogami is unsure how to approach Kano in a way Kano himself wants to be approached. This after being told off by him; creating a very hesitant Original Ogami. The turning point obviously being the talk where Ogami is present as Kano gets criticized.

What does Kano wish for? ''I want to get along with everyone at Sales + I want to be acknowledged by Ogami''.
What he learns in the parallel world is essentially that his 1st wish is within his own strenghts to reach.
But the second lesson he learns is that his 2nd wish was never needed, he was already acknowledged for a long time.

So in the parallel world ->
Obviously Parallel Ogami does not feel the same boundary towards Kano as the argument between them never happened. Parallel Ogami openly acknowledges Kano as a partner. The wish did come ''true''.

But when you look back at the personality of Kano, you know that settling for an easy option is just not him. Parallel Ogami was acting and performing sales in the way he and Parallel Kano agreed upon after the first sales incident, he had no idea he was dealing with a different Kano with different needs. I therefore don't blame Parallel Ogami for how he kept Kano in support-role, because from his perspective that's what his worlds Kano wanted.

The difference between Parallel Kano ''Please help me'' and Original Kano ''I never asked you to help me''.

When Kano realizes he had been acknowleged all along by Original Ogami + he now learned how to handle his colleagues better in his month-stay at Parallel world. He has zero reason to stay in a different world since he can now face his original world bravely. Although I think he will always value Parallel Ogami and the lessons of that world in his heart.

Original Ogami likely is just holding back out of consideration of what he thinks Kano wants. If he notices Kano doesn't mind being closer, I don't doubt he will open up.

It's in the MDL Discussions-page linked to this Shows page, someone started a topic for it.

HUGE warning!!! The fan-translation novel is content-wise one episode ahead of this show. Meaning you will read spoilers for episode 5 in the novels latest chapter.

Here's the link to the topic which includes the link:

The novel imo has some faults that the show improved on. But it is a very addicting read and shows that the story flows quite nicely.

XD thank you, I really went deep into theorizing for this series and estimated it based on info I could find from Japanese articles about the novel, Japanese reviews of the novel and the few already English translated parts of the novel at that time.

I am gonna consider that you are at episode 4 atp in terms of spoilers.

You know he's just gotten back to his original world after like a month. What changes he has made gradually in the parallel world will appear more obviously when highlighted against his old-world co-workers who still expect him to work in the same manner. So in terms of personal growth, I think episode 5 will show it.

I agree that a last-episode confession is troublesome as it allows less time for domestic BL-scenes. However, if they build the chemistry in ep 5+6 sufficiently then I hope they will make it an impactful one.

We know romance will be the primary focus of the final and I am hopeful (with the tweaks they've made from the source material) that it will cement this show as a high-ranking BL. I think all we need is for the actors to give their 100% and not hold back in at least episode 6 for the final.

So he's going back to the original world at the end of episode 4 it seems. Which means 2 full episodes to warm up to cold-version Ogami.
