don't stand in the middle of the road...
like seriously, this did my head in - them constantly having conversations or walking straight into the road, OMG.... but as watched the Thai version, i get that this a plot device meeh if u ask me. personally i always say if u gonna adapt something, do it better or don't do it at all (& this way better then the adaption for Love Sea - which i couldn't finish, but still - wasn't great).
1st off i was kinda shocked that the main pair was the same one from Love in the Air, didn't recognize Hamaya Takuto & given the shaky chemistry between the mains, was sure this was their 1st BL together. their kisses felt unsynchronized & cause of that all their NC scenes were uncomfortable to watch. there was more chemistry between the 2nd couple (& their intimacy amounted too a touching of the lips, that tells u how bad the mains NC chemistry was).
also the hot & cold act that Fuu displayed gave me whiplash - i get that it's cause he believed Sara about the parallel universe lie & was confused/guilt. still the back & forth was annoying to me as a viewer & feel like the only reason Sara could stomach a lot of Fuu's idiosyncrasies, was cause of his over bearing mother.
the plot is more psychological then sci-fi, time travel-ish & given Sara's upbringing i aint shocked he snapped. what i never got was the father just abandoning him with a psychopath & not looking backwards or trying to find a solution in all the yrs his son was growing up under the thumb of that crazy tyrant. yeah here she kinda got her comeuppance - which we didn't get in the Thai version. still it's a drop in the ocean - when u think about everything she did.
this was cute & i enjoyed this more cause of the side couple & side character's then the mains - maybe cause they didn't bring anything new to the table & i already saw the OG version which IMO wasn't that great to begin with - so the remake even if the acting was good, didn't interest me or even hold my attention - it was just ok. like i mentioned loved the side couple & the MVP for me in this was Taiga, he was adorable, sweet & funny. now i would've loved more of him.
the chicks even if good friends to Fuu, didn't like that one chick always hitting Yuta on the head - why this funny?? or acceptable idk - anyway this a one off & a never again.
J-Bl's can be so good, so why not change the adaptation to make it better???? oh well - this a one off.
