So before starting this, I have to ask, why does Takezai Terunosuke always act in these type of dramas, not that I don't like him or anything but it feels like I watching the same drama, he reminds me of Kento Yamazaki, he is in 90% of the live actions 😂
But both are doing great so 👍👍

Edit:
So I'm done watching this and it was funnier than I thought,the lead was hilarious and with his best friends are the best combination, it was a very cute drama and I like that there is no hateful characters except maybe for the weirdo Sunbae but he didn't appear that much, I really enjoyed this drama from the beginning till the end, highly recommended.

At a certain point after watching too many Thai BLs you kinda stop rationalising them, come what may I'll just watch it!
This lacks a lot, like A LOT of things but I understand the overall plot and it could be better IMO if the script was slightly more developed.

Because I watched the series I wasn't really impressed with the movie version, actually I found it slightly boring and though I disagree with some points in the movie I kinda like the way they represent the idea, be that as it may I think it's a one time watch so if you have already watched the series you needn't watch this one ~~~

‌
That was really disappointing, I thought it would be a fluffy light BL but it was so bad, I did not like Mahiro and I don't understand him at all, so you meet your first love, you hide everything and don't confess, then get jealous for no reason, and when he -somehow- try to sort out his feelings towards you, you lashes out, get angry and leaves heartbroken all by yourself.
What gives you the right to act like that!? Also I know this is drama not real life and that is why I'm saying so but if you are that "different" from him, you should really let him sort his feelings without getting butthurt about that, considering that you ALREADY DID what he asked for, at least he'd have YOUR consent.
I'm sure some may disagree but I'm talking from this drama POV I wouldn't suggest that IRL.
But I really can't deny that I'm really disappointed with this drama which rarely happens so I would not suggest this drama to anyone, just skip it ~~~

I don't know why but I expected it to be funnier than this, I smiled in like, a couple of scenes and that's it. The good news is it was entertaining and fun to watch, I liked the action sequence and the story went smoothly I didn't find any plot holes I could think of aside from, of course, the unrealistic side of the whole movie but I genuinely enjoyed it, just for other reasons than what I had in mind.

A less developed survival game,, if I to compare it to other dramas of the same genre like liar game/ Alice in boarder land ... Etc. It'd fail miserably not because it was bad but because it left us with too many unanswered questions and some mysterious characters with a few things that need to be explained too, that been said I think it was on the same level in term of the smart ML and the interesting game.
I liked it to be fair, but I think it could have been better ~~~

Cute, but is cuteness enough!?
For a KBL this is more than enough lol but generally as a short drama, it kinda lacks a lot of consistency in the story, but I still was able to enjoy it.

I'm trying not to be judgy but I think I slipped lol I myself am single but I have seen when one side in marriage doesn't want sex/children and the other wants, it all lead to one thing that's all am saying~~
Both dramas are somehow with the same views on marriage I think ~
I think we can just agree to skip the last EP ~~ 🤣

Yeah, I went crazy reading some comments thinking Yo and Michi "look good" together despite everything!
Those people have never been in a serious relationship nor got married before and it shows lol

I didn't expect to laugh this much while watching a sad movie, it was hilarious 😂
I love how they ended it with good memories but the three friends were amazing, loved their friendship and while I didn't cry but I was so touched by the sneakers scene ❤️ it was so lovely, highly recommended you won't regret it ~~

Typical Japanese rom-com, it was fluffy and cute, I love Yuki ❤️ his smiles are rays of sunshine and the two leads were great, slightly awkward kissing with a few meh! Moments in the story but it doesn't matter much, it's still enjoyable!
Highly recommended ~

Ok so I thought the end would mean anything, alas it was ridiculous, it's not that I care about who ends up with whom but seriously, the drama literally shot itself in the foot with this end.
What is the point of showing an unhealthy marriage and moving a step closer to solving the matter by divorce then enter the toxic relationship all over again as if the whole drama didn't happen.
All I learnt from this drama is if you got married to someone then you are enslaved into a relationship with him/her with no way out of it no matter how terrible he/she is and how bad your marriage turned out to be.

That was lovely, not quite what I expected but it wasn't bad, I kinda thought she did friend-zoned him for a meaningful reason instead they went for the cliché "I'm too scared to lose you if we break up one day so we'll just stay friends forever" also the trailer and the plot gave those vibes.
As someone who friend-zoned a couple of my friends before, I have to say that THAT'S NOT HOW IT HAPPENS IRL!! I literally lost contact with those two later and the reason for refusing their feelings was quite deeper - won't say it, too personal - but anyway my point is, it doesn't always have to be this reason you know, plus she obviously had feelings for him earlier on, and that's the thing I never understood, why two people who love each other think about a future where they'll break up, it's like you enter any relationship with a mindset of breaking up one day! That's quite ridiculous imo.
But to be fair, the movie was quite entertaining, enough for me to not drop it ~
I'd recommend it if you didn't mind the cliché story and the two odd leads~

"How to be selfish 101"
the worst thing ever in any marriage is selfishness, if you only think about yourself in a marriage that is supposed to be about sharing your life with someone, then you are killing your partner slowly, Kaeda and Yõ did exactly this.
Getting used to being loved by someone is so addicting that some people get too drunk and take that for granted. I absolutely loved that both got divorced, and like I said before I even care if Makoto and Michi got together, just saving those two poor souls from such a disastrous marriages is satisfactory enough for me ~

That was worse than I expected, I understand you want to tackle some serious issues but if the representation isn't interesting, no one will care, if you have to use entertainment as a weapon you have to use it correctly, otherwise it'll back fire at you, and that's exactly what this series did.
I wish they work more on the actors choices and the overall plot I stead of adding some weirdly awkward NC scenes here and there ~

Yea, but why! My whole point is why the remake if it's still going to be heavily censored 🤷

This was about to be one of my favourite BL because of Ki Tae but then Lee Wan appeared....they both are my most favourite character and worst character in any KBL I've ever seen, Ki Tae the best mentally stable, adorable and reasonable Main character ever!!! And Lee Wan is just the worst.
I have to admit that I didn't like the main theme because it's repetitive but I accepted it because of how Ki Tae behaved toward Wan, the way he didn't vigorously approach Wan nor acted like a bitch towards him for leaving him back then, how he managed to control himself, didn't blame him though Wan was a total idiot! And at the same time he managed to mess with him innocently and get back on track with him after losing 7 years unnecessarily.
On the other hand, Wan was really stupid, confess by yourself, get disappointed also by yourself, disappear with no trace then complain about heartache for 7 freaking years!!! The first rule of communication is...it happens between two people and they talk to each other, if you are going to do everything by yourself then fall in love with your right foot or something ~
You know I wouldn't complain that much if he didn't act like a broken hearted ass the whole time.

If I have to rate this it would be highly rated and recommended but wan was the thorn that pricks your finger when you touch a beautiful rose~

That was umm ... Weird!
It's a story or a cat and a mouse and who cheats on whom then BAM! Nothing is real .... Alright then ....

That had potential, but after I ended it I understood what all those comments were talking about...

I think they should have added "sci-fi" genre because this lack common sense in many scenes and a few unrealistic moments too, like the "kidnapping" scene when Young shim is in the car and then the guy driving suddenly and shockingly notice her after driving aimlessly and unnecessarily for a very long time when he could've just stop after a couple of miles to destroy the whole laptop, or just throw it on the road, but no no no he has to drive till the end of the earth to destroy the recordings.

I mean, I'm trying not to be harsh on
this series but seriously some scenes felt too stupid to be real and they kept them just as they are. I also hated Wolseok!! Like what's her role!? What is she doing! It seems to me like Hyoyeon and her twin always picks the same Bitchy and annoyingly colourful characters that everyone hates and tries so hard to slow the two leads progress in anything without any reason for that, one of the scenes I didn't understand was the workshop thing!! Like why!? The two leads literally love together, you need the workshop to give them excuses to put the leads together but how couldn't they use the living together card except for one scene maybe!!

Another scene was at the end when the leads talk for 30 mins then oh my she noticed the teddy bear after he came too close almost touching to her! Didn't know the whole cast had low vision!!
Not to mention, the whole two months breakup lol that was over the top and could be solved with one sentence, if you are going to throw everything in the garbage and come back to her you should have told her so and ask her to wait maybe! I don't think she would mind considering the whole "20 years and still haven't forgotten about you" thing

The main problem I had with this was the story, beside that everything ranges from acceptable to almost very good! But I really wish to see Song Hayeon in something good!! Please give her good script next time!!

What I love about most Japanese drama is that in most stories they present a character that lacks something and then meet another character that fill that void, it's beautiful, fluffy, and heartwarming really!and Tane was the cherry on top, he was super adorable 🥰 I also love when there is no hateful characters in the drama, all of them were lovely really feels like Utopia lol
Be that as it may it was too simplistically done it felt unrealistic at some parts and this could totally fit as non BL really, at one point I somehow wanted them to not only depend on each other and you know, meet other people but Yutaka has said a lot that he has friends and knows a lot of people yet they showed him as a very silent introvert so I wanted him to be more open so I'm glad they added that part at the end.
Highly recommended ~
