and deserves a much higher rating.

Ever so randomly I often find myself just wanting to watch LTNS. The literal only fault I have with this show/movie is that it’s too short. But that’s probably a crappy thing to say, because what they had and what they did with it, it’s just phenomenal.
I like thinking about how this was made years before KinnPorshe, but as a part of the BL gangster-land dramas, it rivals for the best

Here’s the thing about TLDHLB, it delivered.
I ordered something delicious and fun, and it showed up right at my door.

After my second time watching, this is still a solid 8/10, I upped it to 8.5 just because it still brought them feels the second go around. Those times when Togawa literally made my chest tighten and I could feel his want and need. But this will always be my one and only fault with this show, the only kiss you get to see is forced, and after that, it’s only missed opportunities. Granted, they’re not going to go about kissing in public, and understandably so. But we never get to see that private moment of a shared kiss that feels fulfilling and equally reciprocated. I swear I’m not trying to make it about the kissing and nothing more, it was just a let down when I craved to see that shared connection between them.

This is an incredibly acted drama with a good story, I’m sure I’ll come back and watch yet again, but I’ll forever feel robbed of getting that little extra sweetness.

I really liked this weeks’s episode.

Love is better the second time around - which is also completely true of my second time around viewing this. As a binge watch it really packs a punch and leaves you fulfilled. I remember when watching while it was airing, and each week the episode felt like it held so much but also was never enough, but as a binge watch, this is chef’s kiss perfection. I’ve got nothing but love for this show and it stands at the upper echelons of Japanese yaoi, imo.

For real though!

Total dick move there with the ep.15 cliffhanger. But I’m already invested. Of course I’m going to tune in to see how this all ends.

He must be, right? His strength of character goes beyond that of a televised persona. Thank you for this. I love your optimism and I both hope and believe it can be true. 💖

I told myself about a couple of episodes into this that if Ryota finds a happy ending, I’ll give it a 10/10. I don’t know what it was about him exactly, but I just wanted to see his happiness. That wasn’t the case unfortunately, but still 8.5/10 because this was fun and I enjoyed watching.

Avid fan base. Grrrrrr! I love that.

At this point I’m only responding because you are and I both don’t want to and also want to sort of keep going. Why am I not allowed to dislike this but you seem to feel liking it is the only right answer here? It can be both.

I’ll stop here. Thank you to you guys. They say that debate is the great divider, but when you think about it, it also really brings us together. We have a shared passion in something. Thank you again to you guys for sharing that with me. I literally hope you all enjoy until your hearts are content. Happy viewing!!

Ouch, that’s a lot of assumption. Is the purpose of this platform not for one to call a spade a spade and another to disagree? My opinion is not hostile, and I feel like it’s become too focused on the point that yes, I expect a BL to have any kind of “L” in its storytelling. This show, is yet again, a misuse of the ability and the greatness of Off and Gun. I’m allowed to say that. You’re allowed to disagree. But damn, have you seen “Not Me”? There was a story, and there was romance. I will not believe that I am expecting too much by expecting an iota of the same from any show they appear in. This is not Off and Gun at their best. But believe what you will, and I will do the same.

Touché. And right back at ya.

Will do. I’ve happily found the exit. I hope you also find there is better out there than this nonsense. If not, ignorance is bliss and I wish you all the happiness.

Something, anything. As opposed to nothing. It’s halfway through and there’s been nada, zip, zilch. Don’t call it BL and not deliver on the love/romance part. But to each their own. I’m glad you’re enjoying and have at it. It’s all yours.

This isn’t a slow burn, it’s a no burn. Someone forgot to even light the stove. I’m done. Another OffGun down the garbage chute. It’s a damn shame.

Frickin corporate greed, always rearing its ugly head.

You couldn’t have said it better. I’m currently one of those people that is constantly having an internal debate about whether it’s worth my time to continue watching anything being made by Gmmtv. There are other and better shows out there.

Oh yes, I completely understand that for anything to be produced and distributed, it’s going to need funding. My complaint I guess is that I don’t want to be complicit in my support for a production company that is pushing quantity above quality and using its actors as merely spokespeople for the products they are selling. It doesn’t seem like gmmtv is very strapped for cash, not with the amount of shows they’re pumping out. But it does seem like they care more about making money from the products they are selling than having any quality to their storytelling.
