Incompetent Competence

Because for some reason society still needs a reason for people to be LGBTQ+. It can't simply be because they like same gender, it has to be because said same gendered person made a huge impact on their lives, which then proceeded to turn them gay. It's honestly overused, but atleast in Coin Laundry's case, this trope only applies to one of the main characters, and the other was already gay without needing some life-changing event.

10/10. Easily one of the best movies I have ever seen. The acting, the production, the music, the quips and the script. A rollercoaster of emotion, as I cried, and laughed and cried and my dog cried then my step-brother cried, then we all laughed and literally died and came back to life, except for my dog, who is still dead.

(This movie was literally made for shits and giggles, you can tell. Fun watch and I don't regret a single second of it.)

Holy shit this is so good. How have I been sleeping on it?

Also I can't stop but feel bad for the people who refuse to watch this because it isnt/is BL. Missing out on amazing story and phenomenal acting cause there isn't enough kissing between two men xd

<3 YES! Give Kamen Rider the budget it deserves!

FInally got the sheets scene from the manga (I thought they completely removed since it happened earlier).

I love how the intro changes from episode to episode! We now have the teacher as part of it, and I suspect that next episode we'll see some veritcal video of Hiiragi too~

Hope this doesn't disappoint

I'm willing to bet the day this starts airing is also the day cdrama land finally gets out from it's shitty drama phase that its going through currently ;--;

Idk if its covid, but 2021-2022 cdramas have mostly been... uninteresting to say the least, with a few exceptions here and there. Plz China, release it on some streaming service or something, take my money I'm really desperate to see something (hopefully) good D:

Anyone has a link to the behind the scenes?

Anyone has links to this? Raws are fine too.

Eng translations so far is up to a couple episodes worth of content after ep 3 I'd say. Like, the show will 100% cover all the chapters up until translations so far as of the date im replying.

Didn't get very far since the show isnt that far from translations, but it was a joke in manga (up until that point). People theorized he actually had a crush on Akira. once again, not confirmed up until that point in the manga. He's just a really good wingman so far.

We got Asuka in the intro now too! He's probably my favourite character in the manga, and he's still so much fun here.

there are some rather spicy scenes from the manga. They haven't avoided any of those (just lightly censored), and the drama even added it's own so hopefully everyone will be in for a ride.

Shin is the embodiment of Togawa from THAT picture (just check the picture page of Old Fashion Cupcake and you'll know when you see it).

10 year age gap, Akira refuses to date Shin because of his own issues of self-esteem. In the manga so far, Shin keeps making advances, Akira denying them because he believes that Shin's feelings are fake/fleeting. They're not even officially dating yet. If you're concerned whether they'll end up together? 100%.

If you're asking will there be a kiss? Who knows. The drama so far has changed up a little of the plot, and has soft-censored a couple scenes (which I was absolutely fine with, if you read the manga, you'll know why). At the end of the day, this drama has already done what so many others refuse to do, and that's have a character explicitely state that they're gay.
Good enough for me, in full honesty.

Every character is batshit insane.

Yeah. This was a hit. A genuine diamond in the rough in the land of "post-covid" cram releases from asia as a whole.

.... I'm guessing adoption, right.

Right?

I've got pretty flexible ideals when it comes to stuff like love but blood-related incest just aint it.

Not Joseph Zeng's best work, but it kept me watching until the end at least.
As many have mentioned before, the side-characters absolutely carried this drama (to be expected as to see who the cats is).

Wang Xiao Shi is also the embodiement of bros befores hos, which was nice.

In the manga, Akira's fear of advances on Shin is mainly self conscious because of his own experiences. He kissed his teacher in high school, but immediately ran away under the pretense that "theyll never see each other again". Akira literally tells Shin that he's young and that his feelings are false/fleeting, and that theres still so much to see and he shouldnt tie himself down to someone like Akira.
