I watched it 5 times.. don't listen to ratings or reviews.. its really good and those who get annoyed are the…
Totally agree! This is why it's one of my favorites...the pace is perfect. I didn't have to fast-forward at all... which I sometimes do if the storyline is dragging or giving too much attention to side stories that really aren't critical to the main characters.
I just finished watching, and for anyone that cant stand the fl acts stupid around ml but likes the overall story…
I agree! I understand the voice bit because I tutor Chinese students at the university I teach at and encounter girls talking like that... it's become white noise to me now.
However as the series progressed it became better and totally laugh-out-loud! My roommate would comment about hearing me laugh while watching it in my room. 😊
I wasn't thrilled with the last episode though...it felt like it was just thrown together. Also I wish more was given to the second couple on how their relationship evolved.
Clueless is an understatement. I agree with those who mentioned they put too much in the few minutes of the final episode and left the second half of the final episode with pointless scenes from the beginning of the story that make no sense whatsoever.
They could have done it so differently with the last two episodes that would have worked! Meteor/comet danger changes (stupid storyline anyway), Dad could have come around and come out, second and third couples stories fleshed out, and ML having a happy ending. Not sure why they had to convolute things with a ridiculous comet. Also, soooo many plot holes with things at the school, hints to organized crime with school officials, and the docks...plus too many others to mention.
There were human stories that would have made this much better overall, and would have had MUCH better final episodes. Such a disappointment.
However, the main actors were very good and I hope this series helps their careers, and the ridiculousness is overlooked when casting directors look for talent.
Is it worth continuing? I dropped it after few ep.. but still comming back to this series in my mind..
I have rewatched this series a couple of times. It's sweet, doesn't require a lot of energy to think through everything, and a break from daily stress. It's fluffy and was made for high schoolers. On a C/television reddit thread a member said it was like a Saturday show geared towards young adult audiences. So keep that in mind to help make your decision if you choose to go forward.
Thank you! I felt the same way. I agree with you regarding Itsuki's actions and lack of communication with Yuma…
Yeah... you're right, Itsuki needs to deal with his demons, and sadly his admitting he sees himself as a tropical fish belly up was disheartening. I, also, have had a journey that's been dark, so I guess I feel all the feels and wish for better. But everyone's story is different and not always with happy endings. It took a few decades for me as well, so I hope the Itsukis in the world can find light on their dark path, they deserve it.
I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, but I felt the story did not do a good job balancing sympathy with…
Thank you! I felt the same way. I agree with you regarding Itsuki's actions and lack of communication with Yuma which possibly could have helped with their relationship in the beginning. Also, Itsuki saying he'll never reach out to Yuma but will be very lonely caused me to cry. Itsuki is hurting and obviously has a lot of unresolved issues. When he sees Yuma's family being the opposite, that just compounded the problem. The story was good, and I feel very important for Japan viewers to watch. I understand both sides of the sexual minority stance with Yuma's position to bring awareness, and Itsuki's position that he wants to be able to go about his day being open like heterosexuals are. I'm queer so I get it... I feel like I have a foot in both camps. Honestly, I actually feel like Yuma and Itsuki could have been successful in a relationship if they were more honest (Itsuki especially) and understanding (Yuma). it will be interesting if we see a 'special episode'. I know Japan historically doesn't do that but it would be nice to see how they were.
I give it 10. Just perfect. This is my dream come true BL show. It rang all my bells. I wish we could see them…
Excellent analogy! "It rang all my bells" I also agree that I wish this pair would do more together. I actually feel this could have been easily a longer running series with multiple seasons. The couple are believable... salary man status, occupying roles in a society that's gradually dealing with sane-sex relationships. There's so many aspects of their relationship, family, work, and so forth that would be entertaining to witness with the characters' personalities and chemistry. I will definitely rewatch this one!
They eat fried worms? Is there anything that chinese people don't eat? It is a wholesome story though.
In certain provinces in Thailand, fried grasshoppers can be purchased from street vendors for snacks, especially eaten with beer. In Korea I ate eel skin snacks while drinking soju. When I was doing research in Okinawa, the family I lived with would serve candied and pickled pigs ears as snacks while we drank hobushu (a liquor that's aged with a poisonous snake inside the bottle). The world is vast and we need to be open-minded.
But I used to be a heavy gamer so maybe that's why 😂😂

It's been a minute and I completely forgot that!
Thanks 😊
