The confession scene was so lovely. Fan Xiao literally confessed almost everything to his You Shu Lang just to validate his feelings for him. Of course, he filtered out those uncanny things he did to get the heart of his man. They are finally stepping up their relationship. And that intensity level of their kiss was paused because Fan Xiao is not used to being dominated. It was gooood. And then Shu Lang voluntarily decided to be the one being dominated was expectedly cute. Yet, the plot twist is that Fan Xiao is a virgin omg. Anyway, I'm happy that they are officially lovebirds! Once Fan Xiao had learned everything in bed that Shu Lang taught him, he never took a break. Poor Shu Lang haha.
finally able to watch this! I saw a trailer of it months ago but decided not to watch due to the reel format but now that Gagaoolala is releasing an edited version with the landscape format, I'm going to binge-watch it finally. The leads are such a cuties
So the reason why the title is To My Shore is Fan Xiao's reflection of love, comfort, and reason for living by means of having You Shu Lang by his side. From Fan Xiao's traumatic experience with the sea that caused the death of his mother, he later met Shu Lang, who became his person to go to and helped him face the trauma that had haunted him for decades. That was just a beautiful way of naming the title of the story.
Romance in winter: The artistic love and life of the youth
This is a piece of art. The combination of artistry and BL romance was so appealing. I love the drawings as much as I love the story. On top of that, the main couple is so handsome and really brings the youthful vibes around them. The chemistry had an impact, too.
It can be dramatic and eventually lead to a mellow approach. Both of them have a distinctive and dejected reality that they are slowly trying to overcome throughout the story. With this factor, they share the romantic love that they badly needed for someone to overcome their sorrowful experiences in life. They became each other’s light and comfort.
The tension and how they built the characters’ conflict were good. Aside from the MC, consider Turtle, who started as a brat but eventually developed into a good supporting role in the show. One of the main highlights for me is how they feature an artist with a visual difficulty in identifying colors, yet still striving to create pieces of art, now and then.
It was somehow a sad ending, with the Dad sending his son to Russia, and the other guy not finishing the admission exam due to the injury from the gang leader. After the scene where both of them walk through their own paths, the scene where they got together after a year was just an alternate ending.
Nevertheless, I enjoy watching this show and adore how both Qi Lu and Qin Xiao embodied the life quote of “Do what we love! And love who we want to love!” Beautiful love story.
Watara carrying Hioki like a big baby is so cute!! And that licking of ice cream scene was so shocking for him haha. Drunk Hioki became something else; he is confident and passive. Finally, the confession has been established. So excited for their confirmation and what awaits them more from their romance. Love this as usual!!
interesting first EP. It started so seriously, then got the unexpected plot twist of mystery at the end, with the supporting teaser for the next EP. This is good so fa,r and I'm hooked.
Well. This is good. I'm invested! The director getting addicted to the cigarette and matches is somehow a metaphor of him slowly being attached to the President.
Major change from a fancy opening choreography song to a punk rock song with our three major casts. love it! On EP01, Natsu and Takehara's side story was super duper cute. They have that chemistry, and both of them are super good-looking for each other.
Anyone know Takehara's real name or Insta account?
EP5 is Watarai's "being friends wth Hioki" agenda. The consistency of making me fall in love EP by EP was so great. Feeding on sweet fruit, hugging the tiny Hioki while watching their school trip highlights, being jealous, and Watarai being impatient to hug Hioki so tightly were all so romantic. It eventually leads him to ask Hioki for a kiss, haha. This boy is so in love, and I feel so in love too. Hioki's inner dialogue was so adorable. I screamed and giggled a lot from this EP. Love it!
Mob and his never-ending attempt to run away from the BL world will always be a fun and chaotic season. Yet, I am disappointed with the third season, as the age-gap story was the main contributing factor. I just didn’t like it.
As usual, the opening song was an icon. They retained the whole sing-and-dance trademark from previous seasons. I like it. The environment where you live, surrounded by BL couples everywhere you go, with their cliche romantic scenes, was absolutely a great atmosphere for a BL fan. They still bring out their signature dramatic and comedic execution, which makes me laugh a lot.
Toujou is so handsome, especially during the Halloween party EP. The composition of short little stories featuring different men in this sequel was half good and half bad. A few good stories were about the physical contact arc, the scent arc, and the cinderella arc. The rest was either average or lame.
I miss the old feeling of getting fascinated by Kikuchi’s character. Fortunately, he came back at the end, but faced a young man as his love rival for Mob’s heart. I want him to end up with Mob in the final season.
Is there really a confirmed spin-off from the side couple? It seems like the MDL page for it is not yet updated, right? I read that the title of it will be "Hiru no Yume: Another Side"
I found another favorite of mine! Watarai and Hioki are super duper cute! I am so excited for more from these soon-to-be-lovebirds. Every scene was so romantic!
So I just caught up with watching the first EP, and it feels so great!! Damn. I've already fallen in love with the drama, even before airing, I can already feel the high chemistry and tension between the couple. The story is so freaking cute, too. A BL version of F4 with no extreme bullying whatsoever.
Watarai obviously has a crush on the cutie Hioki! I can't wait to know his backstory. So far, so great. Them, walking in the pouring rain, holding Hioki's hand to guide them back to their accommodation, while everyone is watching them, was so romantic! Love it!
Funny and entertaining… until it gets so boring. I honestly have so much laughed during the first half of the show. Having Nut played as Woradet is the best part of it. He is such a goofy and dramatic queen who carries out the whole team’s success. Then we have Jet, and his sexy servant shorts are captivating. The set of casts looks so pretty.
The most memorable scene is when Woradet, Jet, Kosol, and Banjong were captivated inside a prison cave. In which the MCs are trying to make each other jealous by doing so extra to the point that they kissed the other party around. These scenes were so hilarious. Peak comedy!
Unfortunately, they failed to polish a more reasonable plot twist and make the story much appealing. I was so bored watching the usual rivalry for the throne with deaths and killing involved. It even feels more annoying when the main antagonists are exempted from dying due to the MC's unreasonable kindness. Kosol, with Woradet’s influence, can easily kill a soldier, but decides to spare the life of the villain. Making it worse by letting him roam free around without shouldering the consequences of his evil deeds that just recently happened.
I was disappointed. I know that it became so bad when I did not give any attention anymore to what would happen to them, and by fast-forwarded the speed of watching the show. I just continue watching for the hope that the next EP will improve this, but it has not happened at all. From a perfect ten rating, I decided to give this show at least an eight of score for the fun time I had during the first half.
Odajima’s unexpected journey of finding a new reason to live on
Such a classy and perfectly crafted show. And hey, it’s a Yakuza-themed BL! This show explores the uncanny life of a boy born into a family where incest is forced. This eventually became his sole reason for not valuing his own life. A few years later, he found another family through the presence of his best friend, Asahi. Who then died by protecting the young Yakuza leader and his role model. The emotional buildup for Odajima was impressive.
I was expecting it to be more chaotic, but it turned out to be gentle yet endearing. Kataoka brings color to Odajima’s grey and sullen life. I just love it every time Kataoka calls him his ‘beloved wife.’ Their chemistry is top-notch! And their intimate scenes were so sizzling hot that the car scene at the finale was magnificent. Also important to mention that all the casts are so handsome! Eye-candy visuals.
This might be short with just a few EPs, but ultimately enough to satisfy my BL-heart. Them wearing a Hawaiian shirt on an island during the ending was so beautiful. The color yellow shirt signifies joy and happiness, which the two were finally able to reach together, ending the show with such a lovely kiss!
The opening OST was so appealing in both visual and audio elements. It also has the right balance of comedy, romance, and drama, which makes the series more entertaining. Absolutely love it, and I want to see more from the main couple starring in a new drama or a possible sequel.
