FIRST IMPRESSION : YOU SHOULD BE THE ONE TO KISS ME
Office romance + fluffy romance is back in the JBL world! I have always been a sucker for the trope where the top is the one who secretly has a crush on the bottom. We get to see how Ueno (Suzuki Jin) quietly keeps his feelings for Kanda to himself.
I also think Ueno is a well-written character. The way he constantly overthinks his every move, especially knowing that many people are aware of his sexuality, makes his character quite interesting. He is always thinking of little ways to make Kanda smile and feel happy. One example is the scene where he wants to give Kanda a tie as a gift. It may seem like such a small and insignificant gesture, but I find it incredibly cute. The office setting works well for the story, and the actors' performances are pretty decent overall. I especially like Oshida Gaku, who plays Kanda. He does a great job portraying Kanda's cheerful and easygoing personality.
However, one big question has been on my mind since the very first episode: How on earth has Ueno managed to keep his feelings for Kanda a secret for SIX WHOLE YEARS? Has he never once considered confessing? And how has he managed to hold back all those feelings when he sees Kanda almost every day, and Kanda even visits his house regularly?
Honestly, the six-year gap feels a little unrealistic and unnecessarily excessive to me. I just find it hard to believe that someone could keep their feelings bottled up for that long under those circumstances.
But, overall my first impression for YOU SHOULD BE THE ONE TO KISS ME is good.
