Yes, she's just awful, yet I can't quite hate her. I loved when Taichi is arms akimbo in front of Kohei and she intervenes, also arms akimbo. So childish. She keeps staring at Kohei in disbelief: "How can you be so smitten with this guy?!" I think I don't hate her because it seems obvious that she's going to lose badly. She is absolutely, 100% clueless and deserving of pity.

Yes, I usually wait until the whole thing drops and it's torture waiting a week. I just keep watching them over and over. Every character is so charming. The acting is topnotch. The longshots of Taichi's earnest face slay me. And Kohei's unashamed admiration and jealousy are delightful. This is why I come to BL. What will I do when this over?!

I liked it. Ridiculous premise, but you just have to go along for the ride.

Why do they all brush their teeth like madmen, frothing like a rabid dog?

Cheesh, nothing like waiting until the last minute

This is so sweet. I keep watching the episodes over and over. The 25 minutes goes by so fast. A whole week?! Now I remember why I usually wait for a whole series to drop before I start watching. "Why are you crying?" "I don't know." Wah!

I'm applying to DO on July 31, 2024. (I'm trying to register to "Drama Taku")

Oh, this was just perfect. Exactly what I'm looking for in my BL. Be prepared to feel good for the rest of the day. Much thanks to Nicksden for doing such a great job subbing it and making it available. Buy him a cup of coffee, folks!

"Filmed with a potato." You're killing me.

Yes, in my mind it is stamped a happy ending. It's the only possibility, really. Enjoy!

No, it's not bad. It's just that you're not 100% sure of the happy ending. Please watch it. It's a wonderful relationship. I plan on watching it again someday.

Wow, what's not to like? And such skinship from China!

So frickin' adorable!

He abandoned him with no explanation! That was horrible for me, like there was no air in the room. At the very, very end someone calls his name, and he seems pleased. Curtain. I'm sure he had a good reason to leave and it would have been nice to hear it.

OK, not great, but I liked it. You have to kind of ignore the contrived, ill-constructed plot and unstellar acting, and just focus on the sweetness between the characters. Chaste Chinese BL has more passion than other countries where they are allowed to be physically passionate.

Yeah, more devastated by sadness than anger eventually. Still want to murder the b*stard father though.

Yes, I couldn't sleep for the longest time, and woke up sobbing again. Just devastating.

It did seem to be like dominos falling, but there were lots of ways it could have been better. Scheming to have a baby to satisfy the POS father was just one, ill-advised, plan. Lots of ways it could have gone. His "friends" just let society steamroll heterosexuality over them and are enjoying its benefits. And f*ck Makio. Yes, they needed to suffer more.

Yes, skinned alive would have been appropriate. What was he crying and saying sorry for? Apparently, it was because they lost their dear friend, but did he honestly give a half a sh*t about Makio? He got everything he wanted, and Makio lost everything.

It's true, but I didn't even notice or miss this. Makio was just kind of a free spirit who was apparently put on the earth without parents.

In US it's on Amazon Prime

It reminded me of Romeo and Juliet. The relationship forbidden by the family. The girl with a clever scheme that looks good on paper but with tragic results. The relationship was pretty much doomed after the father forbade it. That sweet, sweet Makio said there was no hope for them to be together if the father disapproved. They should have broken up and the father may have relented at seeing how UNhappy his son was. Would have been better to be straightforward. And the lie of who was the father, told with good intention, was just more scheming. Eiji, who I had respect for initially turned out to be quite fainthearted. He gave up his dream job, got a regular hairstyle, worked an awful job at his father's place, and just didn't fight to keep Makio. I like the good old US of A where you can just tell your family to pound sand. Yosuke turned out to be so good for Makio. I don't know if I could have massaged my mean old grandfather or walked hand in hand with my ex's daughter. They are better people than I! I'm afraid I'm only going to be able to watch BL with happy endings from now on. This was just too devastating. It was like there was no air in the room.
