People have been bashing Keita for really no reason.

I mean, we know LDH didn’t put any clause about it and Keita has always been very thoughtful on his interviews and he chose to audition for Cherry Magic.

We know Akaso’s agency doesn’t prohibits gay kisses either, but we know that he was offered the role and only agreed to do it cause a senior reminded him how successful Tanaka Kei became after Ossan’s Love. If the no kiss in Cherry Magic was really due an actor imposition, it seems it was Akaso and not Keita.

It was a very good ending, but it made me dislike episodes 4 and 5. If this was the ending intented, I wish they had included a more smooth Kiyoi changing

This series is an amazing characther study of Teh, he is the lead here and the script does an amazing job desconstructing him.

But as a sequel to a love story people want to see a couple being worked rather than only one of them.

I believe i saw somewhere it's confirmed to have a S2

The last 3 episodes were so weak compared to the others...

But still a nice show to watch

Yeah, most of them and full of filler. Even bad Buddy this week was a 50 minutes full so cute scenes just to do endorsements.

They woudl benefit a lot from the 25 minute japanese style.

But this will be aired on Tencent in Mainland China.

I don't think it will be an actual BL.

Some non jajapnese people come to japanese shows with their standarts of what is a good representation without even realising that this is a FOOD DRAMA about a MIDLE AGED COUPLE.

There's never skinship in this kind of drama, straight or not. This is based on a SEINEN manga, if you come expecting BL troupes obviously you'll get frustrated. Shiro and Kenji are a typical midle age couple on japanese television.

EP3 had It’s cute moments, Hira being over crazy about Kiyoi and was overall ok.

But EP4 preview has me shook. I need it ASAP

I was talking more of the director’s choice of showing it rather than through the characters, but yeah hahaha

This might have been the WORST kiss I’ve seen the last 5 years hahahaha

Their lips touched, but the way the scene was shot make it seems they didn’t, the trembling camera also hahaha

I hope there’s a better one later on

OMGGGGG Singto is soooo nice in this!

I couldn’t handle his scenes with Foei

Next week a BTS special
11/12 episode 9 (it’s tagged on the preview as “last chapter”)

TV Guida says it will end on 18/12, so we’ll still get 10 episodes with story, but it’s unclear if they’ll tag it as a spin off/Special

Maybe you’re forgetting this is a asian series aimed at women. We’d never see a Ten Tosatid kind of gay here. It will always pend to the more “clean cute” style and Singto’s character is completely convincing.

Oh lord, I've been feeling that from almost every drama form last year. It's a sad truth

LOL It's BL.

That's how the company advertised it, it's based on the most successful japanese BL series ever.

It's a thing of this story. The japanese version is worse. It seems haruta hates both guys.

This series isn’t receiving the justice it deserves. It’s well directed and acted and it is not the toxicity people are telling it is.

Yes, an obsessed and a douchbag. But that’s it. I even find Kiyoi more likable than Hira. I think people have came into Japanese BL cause of Cherry Magic and KeiKoi and thought that this was all about it.

This isn’t a disservice as TharnType or History4, it’s just a story of questionable people getting to know each other. And Japan has been doing some very good BL with this approach (Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese one of the bests this year)

I think Sei no Gekiyaku is way too extreme to compare to this… One of the guys is kidnapped and held against his wills there

Even Double Mints still being a little extreme, it’s closer to what we have in My Beautiful Man.

PS: I like all the series/movies mentioned here hahahaha
Only Japan knows how to make toxicity work

I believe you guys have a narrow minded view of what a killer gay should look like.

Yes, singto’s styling is pending more to a cute charming dude, but have you seen his confidence while flirting in the Club? I was completely sold as he being a seducer. If you guys have ever been out on the night you would’ve known that the biggest maneaters rarely are the built strong dudes, but the ones who have more confidence.
