I watched it all in one go, it was great! The first episode grabbed me right away, so many emotions and new twists everywhere, it was so refreshing!๐โค๏ธ
I love Japanese BL series because they always reach a deeper level. Even though I'm a little disappointed that after โTaikan Yohoโ there are too many setbacks in the intimacy scenes (no deep kisses, only very limited physical contact...), I can once again overlook this in favor of the narrative and emotional depth. But nonetheless I still keep wishing for more progression in intimacy scenes.
But anyway, loved the series and will definitely come back to rewatch in the future โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
It feels like a one-man show (or rather a one-Pond show)... His acting performance is great, but everything else falls short? I mean, Peterpan has only one facial expression for 75% of the show, and the plot has significant gaps in my opinion.
Overall, I don't understand the hype, but okay, everyone has their own opinion ๐คทโโ๏ธ
(BUT I would totally watch a spin-off of Janine and Veynai, they kind of made my day)
I really liked her in Glass heart, her smile while playing the drums carried all the emotions necessary, great performance! ๐๐๐ I hope she gets more main roles in the future
I came for Satoh Takeru's devilish grin and stayed for Miyazaki Yu's sweet smile. ๐
Okay, now for my review after watching the entire series: The last two episodes were a bit disappointing for me... One thing that really made me sad was that the brother wasn't really part of the series anymore. He appeared quite often at the beginning (and totally grew on me), but in the last part, which dealt with the spoiler about ML, he wasn't allowed to say anything, even though they're brothers? I just found that disappointing.
I don't know the novel, but given the diagnosis, I wonder if this is really a happy ending, as so many say. I mean, in real life... let's not talk about sad things ๐ ๐ซฃ (feel free to spoiler me if thereโs more info in the novel, please)
All in all, I stand by what I said above: I came for the handsome devil (even though I don't like the roles he plays... but at least I like this one a better than the last one) and honestly stayed for the good music and especially for FL! Her smile/happy face was great, she played her passion for music so well ๐๐๐๐ซถ
Nice drama... but... what about the elephant in the room? I mean, they couldn't mention often enough that vampires shouldn't fall in love with humans. So it would have been more than nice if they had picked up on this at the end and brought it to a conclusion. ๐
I'm usually a big fan of JP BL, but this one just doesn't appeal to me. In the comments, people say that the first part of it is the stronger one, but I'm halfway through now and can't really say that I found it strong.
My main problem is probably that I personally don't feel any chemistry between the main characters, not even a little bit. Maybe it gets better later on but itโs hard for me to keep watching. (Also, right now I just feel like one of them is only interested in the other because they're both gay, nothing more nothing less).
Like I said, this is just my personal opinion, so please don't be offended if you have a different view. But while Old fashion cupcake is my absolute favorite series, this one wonโt even make it on my BL list..
Wohoo! I just finished watching this season and thought it was great from start to finish!! Hopefully they'll produce a few more seasons, I really can't get enough of it โค๏ธ๐โค๏ธ
After watching crime 3 + 4, I can only repeat myself: I really really enjoy watching this series! I wish it would go on forever ๐โค๏ธ (love the actors, the guest stars and the plots โค๏ธโค๏ธ)
hi! i've watched up to episode 4 and there is very-little-to-none requirement to watch the previous season. there…
Hi! I wasn't familiar with the series before, so I started with this season and I really like it and have a lot of fun!! BUT I have a feeling that after watching it, I'll watch the other seasons too, because I'm having so much fun watching this one.
I think I read before that there was supposed to be a scene that he really was crying hard but it was scrapped?…
Yeah, youโre right, their chemistry is awesome and carries a big part of the drama โค๏ธ By the way, I really like your suggestion, I would love to see them together in a modern world drama ๐โค๏ธ
I agree with you about the sometimes anticlimactic acting from both leads, they are great at portraiting their…
Now I'm even more disappointed that it won't get any better in the next episodes ๐
But seriously, I'm not entirely sure it's just his fault. The whole scene seemed strange to me. I mean, him having a facial expression would have been perfect, but a close-up of his clenched fist or something like that, or even a brief moment of silence where he closes his eyes or something, would have been a better solution than what they did ๐ฉ
The second one was deliberately silly. It is supposed to imitate a makjang drama where events are too ridiculous…
As I said, I like the whole series so far (both crimes), but if I had to choose, I would prefer the first one. And what you felt about the first murderer is exactly how I felt about the second one. Overall, this just shows that it's a good show because it caters to different tastes and opinions.
I'm a little disappointed by ML's reaction (or rather lack of reaction?!) in episode 19 (after he wakes up and finds out about FL). Hopefully itโll come around in the next ep.. (And Iโm a little fearful by the trope hinted at the end of 19, not a big fan of this one. But letโs see what they make of it, so far, Iโm still pretty invested in the drama ๐ซถ)
Personally, I liked the first case better in terms of the plot, the actors, and the detective. The second case was also entertaining, but I found it a little too silly. Also, the second murderer wasn't a particularly good actor; their facial expressions gave everything away (in my opinion).

For a quick BL fix, it's definitely worth it!
