This is a nightmare if it turns out to be true >.<

You've listed all of my fears if this is true. I f*cking hate it and hope it never happens!

He might suggest it but knowing Kurosawa he'd probably leave it up to Adachi to decide for when he's ready and comfortable. Oooor it will happen without them even noticing, like they spend more and more time together until they're inseparable and practically living together

Y'all are making me tear up. Why does it feel like the drama already ended and we're saying our goodbyes? ;___;
I hope we can keep in touch somehow and honor the yearly rewatch promise and make it a tradition.

A remake is usually by another country, unless it has been years/decades and they want to make a newer version which is clearly not the case here. I haven't seen anything about this, I guess it's just wishful thinking from fans.

*group hug*

You are not alone my friend. As the end is drawing nearer, I can't help but think about what I'd do without it in my life. I know I can rewatch it over and over again but it's not the same as anticipating new content every week and the excitement that comes with it. This wholesome community here has also become so dear to me like a second home and when we eventually drift away, I will miss it a lot. I'm not exaggerating when I say my mental health has improved since I found the show and I've been in a constant good mood thanks to it. It's really my happy pill and I'm dreading the depression I'm sure I'd feel once it ends :(

I've just seen the tweet, tears are falling ;___;
I can't believe CM is giving us the best year end possible in such a shitty year

What can I say, the thirst is real xD

I'm a new fan but it's about time, he seems to have worked diligently and hard for years, he deserves it

I actually think it's a smart move. I have respect for actors who start small, hone their craft through many supporting roles before climbing their way to the top. Acting along seasoned and skilled actors can only benefit him to gain experience and it shows now with the way he's nailing this many different characters.

We love a man of many talents <3

It's not stupid. If it makes you feel better, after starting CM I did some "research" on his kissing skills, you know, for science lol I came across that video of his drama where he romanced Yoshida Yo and I am so very tempted to watch it after all this even tho they're a side pairing and the main romance is off-putting to say the least.

ikr, he's got the full package ;__;

They're only speaking the truth xD

Finally started Alice and he's hot af (and that introduction scene lol)

There was a change in the rating system by MDL and all ratings dropped, not just CM's. 8 is the new 9. It sucks but we'll have to get used to it.

This would make Kurosawa the worst person, it boggles my mind as to why would anyone wish for this twist

Yes because not telling anything will have Adachi constantly feeling guilty which will get in the way of their relationship. He needs to be honest with Kurosawa because it's not fair to "spy" on his inner thoughts without his consent. Even if Adachi decides to not use it to respect Kurosawa's private thoughts, this means he will have to avoid Kurosawa's touch and if he does that Kurosawa will be confused and even hurt and this too will ruin their relationship.

Yes, most kdramas are guilty of this, I almost grew to dislike the genre. I like me some romance but it often loses substance after some time especially with the 16 over-an-hour episodes format that really doesn't help.

Sorry for jumping in this convo but I think CM made it clear from the beginning it's a low-stake show and, using the screenwriter's own words, in this world there's no bad person and it's a story that won't hurt anyone. Its naive and optimistic view on things is intentional, real life is bleak enough as it is and the illusion of a simpler world in fiction is a welcome escape but I totally understand how this might become annoying after a while for viewers who prefer a more realistic approach.

As for the second point, I usually feel this with other dramas after the couple get together and there's pretty much nothing left to show. I'd worry about it here too if we had more episodes left but we literally have less than an hour between the last 2 episodes. They don't need to extend the plot because the plot is already reaching its end and the mindreading issue is enough to sustain it imo.

Thank you for expressing yourself, it's interesting to read about different point of views. It's sad that you might drop it this close to the end but if it doesn't spark joy anymore then it can't be helped ^_^

Yay! I'd be home for both days and can join in properly instead of lurking from work lol
