This much sweet fluff in the first episode of a Japanese show usually means they will rip our hearts out in one way or another for most of the rest of the show. Brace for angst ahead!
Well ... this looks about as well directed as those drinks were shaken. I'll enjoy the scenery until the overlong stare shots and excessive flash backs drive me too crazy to continue. Maybe it will surprise me and actually have a plot somewhere down the line.
is this one worth it? which one is better, thai or jp? (and why?)
Worth it. It's hard to say which is better. the Thai lingers a little, explains some of the back story a little more explicitly and the story was originally written in Thai so some of the culture influenced some characters decisions and that doesn't translate as easily into the Japanese culture(I like the brighter colors and the actors are pure eye candy). Sofar the jp version is faster paced I think the acting is a little stronger and they place their camera shots very intentionally. I suggest you choose the culture you are more familiar with and be aware that the first few episodes feel like an excuse for plotless nc scenes but there is a plot that shows up later.
I'm a gay man and I love these BL series....I read where the majority of fans who enjoy these series are woman…
(mostly straight woman here) my theory, based on no evidence or research, is that it's not necessarily straight men acting in gay roles but straight presenting men. Watching 2 people we find attractive fall in love with each other is fun. Straight woman do not usually find effeminate men attractive. I think it's the same reason straight men like to watch women going at it. I'm quite sure there are some of all flavors acting on and off screen in whatever way they and their managers think will earn them the most money with no regard to who they actually find attractive. ps who doesn't love a romcom full of attractive people it's like cotton candy for the brain.
The girl is giving supportive bestie vibes than a love rival atm
Yeah, I could be wrong but I feel like she has a hunch about the underlying feelings and is trying to gently push them together. No real outrage at not being able to contact them just 'What happened?' and then the 'I see you are fighting, go fix it.'
