Sooo… I initially dropped this series relatively quickly after starting it about a year ago, in large part due to the alpha/omega elements - moreover, supernatural genres have simply never really been my thing in any format. But I circled back to this recently after an unrelated and completely different supernatural leaning series that I had also prematurely written off ended up winning me over. And I must admit, this series is actually quite good! I went from scoffing at the plot to wishing there were more episodes. All this to say, if you’re on the fence about watching for similar reasons, give it a shot anyway because it just might surprise you!
I hear what you're saying. What is it about them, that qualifies them for the sex, right? That argument makes…
In part, so true, but at the same time they technically don’t need one another to get the job done so there’s definitely an element of human connection associated with the act for them that they miss and thus seeking.
Cheating is cheating, But a relationship has a definition, and any defect in the circumstances of a relationship…
Right, if you’ve essentially become glorified roommates then that “relationship” needs to either be redefined or left behind. Like call it what it is or call it quits.
This series is so unserious… I can only laugh and give the outlandish flare the benefit of the doubt as it was surely intended. still, can’t help but wonder if the original actors for these characters (as seen in the teaser at the end of Cutie Pie) jumped ship on account of its ridiculousness.
This didn’t work for me. I’d say it needed a better plot but I’m not even sure it has a plot in its current state. Unfortunate as the leads seem have chemistry.
Finishing this series felt like a chore. It didn’t help that I felt more annoyed by the Korn character than I did sympathetic. Maybe I’ll feel differently after watching The Next Chapter.
22 days later and the Type character has grown on me. There’s something endearing about the actor’s portrayal of him that makes the character too soft for me to hate.
I don't know how will this story progress, but I like how this drama is talking about topic that isn't talked…
This! Sexual compatibility is vital to the longevity of a relationships. As you said, there are those who have it and there are those who don’t. The latter has two subsets that vary in their respective complexities being explored in series:
1. those who don’t have it and never did - aka Nakarai, who willingly resigned themselves to a sexless fate for reasons unbeknownst to us at this time
2. those who had it but “lost” for “reason(s)” known to the other or not, meaningful or unjust, circumstantial or life altering/health, etc. - aka Kazuaki, who, according to him, was having lots of sex with his girlfriend before the year-long drought. He seemingly implied their sex life slowed down after moving in together. Seeing as he still wants to sleep with her so the stalemate is notably one sided. It’s entirely possible she became indifferent to him.
Realistically there are a lot of ways things could go. We have yet to learn of her reasons (if any) which may very well be plausible or completely selfish. It’s clear she’s withholding not just sex but intimacy too which is undoubtedly cold, but the picture hasn’t fully developed yet for any of whys to clear. At the same time, I can’t blame him at all for where things are leading though.
Frankly, I’ve become much more sympathetic to men in recent years as it relates to situations like this after having learned some things first hand about close women in my personal life (friends, immediate family even) conning their boyfriends into apartments, engagements, buying a house and the final level: marriage using sex as leverage. Saddest part was how proud one was in their self brag about cutting their husband off from sex like it was some ultimate power play. Hopefully my brother-in-law and the other men I know in similar conjob relationships are getting some on the side.
