Masterful, simply masterful! 👏👏👏 In my view, the ending of the series is not sad, quite the opposite.…
The only reason why the relationship failed was because Shi Wen kept dying.
I thought that the breaking of the pendant happened because Shi Wen did not die, when it looked like the red truck would hit him. Because when that lightspot had hit Shi Wen deadly, Shen Nan asked the pendant for a last chance.
If the breaking of the pendant happened for another reason. Namely that Shen Nan was able to stay out of Shi Wens life and not loving him. That, now the pendant has broken. He can get into Shi Wens life and love him?
Why, if this is the case, not show us, viewers, more clearly? Like, Shen Nan realizing that. See a smile and turn around and walk in the direction of Shi Wen?
Because I had not interpreted that way. I think we needed a more clear way of showing that to us viewers.
"I don't condone cheating but this is an exception""I can't wait for their cheating era""so excited for their…
Breaking up is hard to do. That is, besides a song title, also a reality for most people.
Kazuaki does not want to break up with his girlfriend. Although they don't have had sex for a year. But his breaking point is the conversation with Ayako, the boss of the nailsalon were his girlfriend Kaori works. She revealed that Kaori laughed when she told her that she doesn't like Kazuakis masculin side. That was a shock to him. That night, he tries to get intimate with Kaori. But he is again rejected. That confirms the conversation he had with Ayako.
Also Sei does not want to break up, he loves his Kazuaki, although that Kazuaki hates sex. And is controlling the life of Sei, without him having noticed. Allthough when he encountered a old university friend. He became aware that his Kazuaki was gate keeping him and did not let Sei know that his friends wanted to contact Sei.
So. Kazuaki and Sei are in the position that they crave and need sexual intimacy, are not getting it. Are frustrated to the core but don't want to break up.
The point is that they think they will only do it once to get their relief. And that is that.
They themselves consider it cheating. But arent their partners also not partly responsible for this? Kaori lured Kazuaki in a sexual relationship at first, taking him to a lovemotel. But is now leaving him dry for a year without a reasonable explanation and Kazuaki is much to nice to ask why.
For Sei, it is different. His Kazuaki already said that he is not offering the relationship that Sei wants. But wants to be with him forever. But knows to well what Sei needs. But is leaving him, like that time in the bathroom, on the floor. When Sei was really not well. Like he was filth. That is not how to treat your partner.
I also think that your remarks about people applauding for their cheating. That they are women that fetishize gay men and negative about lesbian women very derogatory. I have really no idea were you get that from. And it really bothers me.
That I like to watch BL does not give you the right to make those statements without any single proof. And it is quite disturbing and mean.
To get back to the cheating. This is imo necessary. The cheating will mark a breaking point. It will be painfull. But at the end of the tunnel it is for the better. They would not have broken up without the cheating. And their lives would have been miserable.
I had also send some info about the actors and the instagram link of this production at that time. I guess that gave enough info when the pictures of the actors were out on that IG account.
I have just watched episode 4 and it is amazing. The fights are so realistic, I often pause and go back, just to see what kind of technics are used. So I can maybe use that irl when it comes to that.
The actors are truly pouring their hearts and souls into their performances. If I were decades younger, I’d definitely be tempted to dive into this sport myself, haha. You can tell they’ve put in an incredible amount of effort to get to this point.
The storyline took a unexpected turn in episode 1 when it comes to the dynamics between the bully, the victim, and his savior. It’s a refreshing take.
Kimura Keito is aversatile actor. I first noticed him in *Ameiro Paradox* when he was just 21, and he has since captivated me with his range. Although his main job is primarily as a dancer in Fantastics from Exile Tribe, which I really don't know much about. Because of him, I watched *Sacchan Boku wa* from 2024—where he portrayed a student in some quite revealing sex scenes, but the story and especially the ending of that show left much to be desired for me.
In this series, he convincingly plays a 16-year-old, and I can hardly recognize him from his earlier roles. His transformation is remarkable!
Then there’s Makoto Hasegawa, who delivers a completely different character than in *Love is Better the Second Time Around*. He’s so convincing in this role that I completely forget his previous character when I see him here. Both actors are truly impressive, and their performances elevate the show to another level.
Also, i really need to see Kao ni Doro wo Nuru, I mean, Kimura Keito with blonde hair as a man passionate about make up?
And the young hottie, Shin, from Minato Coin laundry as a abusive boyfriend, controlling his girlfriend?
Arghh, my to watch list is so long with all these actors I need to see!
This is a show, that, allthough a couple of plotholes, did manage to entertain me. Not only did i buy into the whole from animal to human story. Many lines in the script were funny and unexpected. The actors, they did a stellar job. Junior was not only adorable, but fierce. Sun was moody, but also loving and protective. I recommend this show! Hope to see all the actors in another show.
Indeed. As the XY-person who gets called "mom" by the kids and their friends I should have found this relatable…
You nailed it. The marriage is not how i think a marriage is. It looks like he adopted a kid. And she has a housekeeper for free.
I don't need steamy scenes. But a hint that they sleep together. Even that is not there. There is 1 bed for 1 person and the couch. They sleep separately.
And I wanted to add, as a spoiler, that if you make a show about a woman that can choose a marriage partner out from 3 men, she chooses the oldest one, who does everything in the house. That there is no ROMANCE at all? No hint of having sex, no kiss. It is just like a unpayed housekeeper!
I liked the fact that she chose him, cause he was the man who she was most comfortable to be around and who she would miss the most.
But, can he, allthough he is older and is mostly wearing an apron, could show his sexy side to her? This looked indeed like a mother daughter relation.
If people like asexual relationships, this show is for you. There was talk about the possibility of children. But how?
I have a list with over 200 series that I have to watch, but for some reason, Netflix threw this at me and I tuned in. In 2 days, I discovered, that there is really NO NEED to see the first 9 episodes!
Because the 10th, which I now read, that this is actually the special, is a RECAP of the 9 episodes, and really, you don't miss much skipping the 9 episodes and go straight to number 10.
And the 9th episode was also not satisfying as the end.

That person was fast. Cause I submitted it 11 days ago.
