BL Compilations

I do a First Impression and then generally update along the way but I always update it to a final review. Some people aren't sure if they want to start a series or not so I think a First Impression might help those people.

I personally wouldn't recommend it, I was going to suggest watching for Mai/Ryou but episode 6 ruined that ship.

I read your comment and I do agree that Souta is portrayed as an idiotic child. In his defense about the wanting to kiss but not being sure of his feelings, not everyone is aware of their sexual orientation from birth. I totally get Mahiro not wanting to be an experiment but they could have had a conversation and more understanding about Souta going through a journey of figuring out his sexuality. I don't know, overall the writers really messed up both their characters which is unfortunate because I think this had a really interesting premise with the cooking, naked dining & countryside setting...

Mahiro lied to Souta and said that he did have feelings for him in the past but did not in the present. Mahiro kept running away/avoiding telling Mahiro about his feelings (I think he even admitted he'd rather silently simp from afar). Mahiro oddly insisted that Souta was straight even though Souta never said explicitly his sexual orientation. Souta bothered me as well as I mentioned, but at least once he figured something out he pursued it/was more forthright. Both of them have terrible communication skills and I didn't really want them together at the end. If they could have shown more Mahiro having internalized homophobia (and or dealing with homophobia) then I could sympathize with him a bit more but the series did not show that.

I updated my comment so hopefully it's more clear now, thanks for letting me know the correct term for that instrument :)

Sorry I mean harmonium (didn't know what that was called), I'll update it. When Ye Chan first wants to give it to Yul and the ex throws it on the ground, Yul comes to where they are (and should be able to see it on the ground) but doesn't look at it or comment on it which I found very strange. If they had shown that it was tossed out of his sight line then it would have made more sense why he didn't talk about it.

Glad you enjoyed my review. I think we are in the minority but I don't rate things based on what the majority thinks...

Yes though neither was my cup of tea - Love at the End of the World (2021 Philippines, on GagaOOLala), Til The World Ends (2022 Thailand, on YouTube & WeTV). I know there is a Thai one that should air later this year or next year but I'm forgetting the name of it.

yes, the dancing was super fun but I agree the sound effects are distracting and (for me) make it less enjoyable to watch

I don't factor source material into my reviews, I only review the series. But it's interesting to hear how things went in the webtoon. Thanks for commenting.

I'll watch ep 8, thanks for the heads up

I'll likely just watch ep 12, but let me know if you think I should pick it back up sooner

I heard there are flashbacks that aren't clearly flashbacks which also add to the confusion....I might watch the final episode just to see how it ended, but yeah, not interested in watching all 12 episodes

content warning: incurable illness - I wish they had chosen something like cancer with a hope for remission/staying alive, I'm going to pretend he tried an experimental drug and had a long/healthy/happy life

I'm guessing this is a new account since I blocked your old one (and will now block this one). As I've told you before, people have different life experiences and find different things triggering. I'm sure I omit things that trigger people and sometimes include things that trigger no one, but I'm trying to be helpful. Can you say the same about your comments?

thanks, that makes sense

Awesome, I have no plans to stop reviewing any time soon :)

I try to watch (and review) everything that has m/m romance, I started around 2021, so yeah, you'll see my reviews a lot :P

Very welcome, glad it's helpful for you.

Thanks for the information about his name meaning Future, I'll update it when I next update my review.
