Guiltless_Pleasure

So far, I'm really loving it. The vibes and humor remind me a bit of Blue Spring and Kabe Koji, and the story feels pretty fresh too

It's already September 21st. Where is this streaming?

I just can't get over how interesting the plot points are versus how sillily they're handled. A great show behind a decent one.

The more I watch, the more I feel like, with better screenwriting, direction, and production, this could be such an incredible film. The story is there, even the actors, despite their limits, are often really good, but the series stays too close to a rather silly space that doesn't do the material justice

Keeps getting better

I assumed so! Plenty of exceptions, but I often find when I respond to certain things, it's because it feels like it has traces of something from personal experience in it. But yeah, I don't mind playing with the BL format a bit. It's refreshing either way.

That's the stuff that actually helps us the most in the end, not the fantasy fluff.

Me, enjoying this: "Was this directed by a man?" ALWAYS. Do I even like BL... or just queer series? xD

We should be friends. I don't understand the people on here who like the fluffy fantasy stuff. I need SOME realism. Maybe because I'm actually queer, and I need things to help me understand and cope with life, not saccharine lies.

Good!

Thank you kindly! I'm loving it so far. The main actor's performance could be a bit more understated, and frankly I would be fine if this were just toxic and darkly real, but I'm liking the direction so far too. I AM getting a little sick of that room, though. Hope they branch out the story and locations a bit.

Why... would that need explaining? Do you think life is all sunshine and rainbows, or that people don't appreciate and benefit from exploring more realistic themes? Literally cannot understand this question. Bizarre.

I think I was right. The vibes are immaculate on the intro!

Good series on here are a bit like Asian restaurants in the US. Those with 3.5 stars are often the best, because of all the clueless reviewers. I saw 7.7 (the highest any masterpiece will ever get on here), the look of the series, and the online comments, and, frankly, my expectations are high.

Maybe a quad at this point... The new guy is even cuter.

I'm so bored by possessiveness. It's 2024. They should simply all date each other or something. Who actually cares? Always so toxic and controlling--and, worse, predictable. The chemistry and looks are the only things getting me through this.

I almost forgot Sahashi when Nanjo appeared. His voice, mischievousness, self-awareness, and tones are really charming. He's lovely.

I low-key just want Natsume to date them both

The saccharine opening gave me pause, but it's not just pure fluff and the chemistry is great

Cute so far! Not amazing but better than most.
