I forgot I finished this show so am adding it now. But yeah really entertaining show for those who can appreciate the type of random humour. If you don't like the humour at all after watching a few episodes then the show may not be for you as it does continue like that throughout. Its a very very slow romance but has cute moments that keep you going. Episode 3 was my favourite episode.
When Hikaru Genji went to save Saori from the fake marriage, that was cute ^^ Also glad they cleared up that the family and friends of Hikaru Genji aren't left behind alone and now there's modern Hikaru Genji and old Hikaru Genji. Loved the ending kiss, adorable stuff.
First 2 episodes were fun. Any BL fan who has seen an Ossans Love show before will find themselves getting flashbacks to the original scenes. It was fun recognising them as they happened
wdym? I remember Meguru straight up saying "I'm a guy" to the waiter who served him and Wako drinks served specificially…
He may have given some advice to Renn back when they had their vampire drama together. I've seen Goto Yutaro and Itagaki Rihito in videos and pictures together too though ^^ If you search for ''後藤優太朗&板垣李光人'' you will find those.

Well, in this drama (set in Japan and not America) the androgyny theme is about fashion. As a popular recent fashion trend called ''genderless fashion'' is used by both males and females in Japan to dress in androgynous ways. It doesn't necessarily mean they identify as such for their gender. Their aim is just to be able to wear whatever they want.
The drama is going for the theme of genderless fashion, not for exploration of androgynous identities. In this particular case it really is just about fashion and expression of that. The main leads aren't questioning their gender, they are male but just express that differently than the rest around them.
They do struggle in the world but not because of their identity but because the rest of the world doesn't always accept different expressions of fashion that go against the mainstream. So yes the main struggle for the male leads is just society having only 1 image of the male gender and not easily accepting those who deviate from that through fashion choices. It is about allowing more freedom for males to express themselves comfortably in fashion without shame. Here is a good video on genderless fashion and what it means: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrYJE1sFVd8
Finally watched it! Movie gives a unique insight into the practise of shudō in the past which is rare to see portrayed in Japanese media. Don't expect a wholesome lovestory. Be ready for a grim portrayal of the topic which focuses on the toxic side like the power imbalance.
I suggest those who want to know more about the topic to just search on Youtube. There are some great videos explaining the entire system of that time.
The attention to detail and the way it shows how heavy the influence of gender roles is on lives is really good for such a short show. Some of the moments of the show are recognisable.
It's only 4 minutes long but the episodes have been pretty memorable for either being funny or having some good social commentary. I would recommend watching it if any of what I mentioned sounds interesting to you, just don't expect a complex storyline since the focus is mostly on gender roles.
So made in Hong Kong but are they going to follow Chinese censorship laws so they can promote it in mainland China?…
I don't think they will, while there is a market for it the mainland Chinese fans wouldn't wanna be stuck with a watered down version that doesn't even have a kiss. So I think it'll just be dependent on international and views from Hongkong fans. Of course mainland Chinese fans will watch it too but they'll just pirate the BL.
Yeah altho given the age of Momochi its a bit late for rebirth now. Of course if they don't intend to continue the relationship after rebirth then it's no issue. I think it's best if they both get reborn at the same time.
Well, I watched the final episode. I suppose she's just earning that heaven money by drawing manga and will return for a while anytime she has earned enough. Well, while it's not ideal I think somehow everyone in the story can find peace with that if it's just an event that happens once every year.
I see the bromance tag on this drama but I'm at episode 12 and am not noticing any major bromance. Is it still too early or am I missing something here? Just curious since I know sometimes its later on in the drama
