the whole wedding reason & issue was wrapped up in the blink of an eye. but as this shorter then the other adaptations, i guess we don't have time to waste. **********************************************************************************************************also really like Tiger & Only but we r half way through & only now they getting some focus a a pair. if there was any type of spot light on them from the start, maybe i would be more interested. as is i find like i want their scenes to zoom by, so we will get to the mains story. which is a pity, as i pointed out already i really like both character's & they could've been a great addition to this BL, as neither actor is lacking - this down purely to writing & direction.*******************************************************************************************************************************************liked how the kiss scene was dealt with, considering (the actor playing) Pop's age, in real life. as is IMO there is more then enough tension between Pop & Hero so don't need them to be overtly sexual, to push the point that they r into each other. they doing one hell of a job as is.

even though Pop's mother is depicted as a bad-guy, i didn't think that of her that way. i got her side, like i understood Pop's inability to brush the past off & accept all she had to offer, let alone her sudden presence in his life. but i can never get over, how even after decades she kept belittling her ex (Pop's father). **********************************************************************if u've moved on & now ur in a better place with a better man - enjoy what u've got. plus u got enough on ur plate trying to regain ur sons loves & trust, let alone try to get along amicably with ur stepson. *******************************************************why treat ur ex in any way then with civility?!?? ur insulting him wont win u points with ur son & it could turn ur ex vindictive enough to make sure ur son will never come around to accepting u. the fact that Pop's father (in-spite of her behavior) will never be a mean person, that would think of retaliating is what make her a bad-guy.*************************************************************************************************************************************************must say i am really enjoying this,

i donno why, but this comes off more realistic then the OG BL, Hero beats someone he gets in trouble, same when his gf walks into a school she isn't studying in & does the same. Hero gotta pay the price. there is logic & the teachers r more realistic. i kinda like this dynamic - even the family setting was warm & welcoming. **************************************************************heck all the parents/adults here r very realist, in Stay with Me it was almost like a fairy tail, how sweet & wholesome they were. here they r completely wholesome, but also very realistic. **********************************************************************************************************************************************Hero & Pop totally pop lol (kitsch i know) but they vibe & i like how u can feel the tension between them. think them keeping it lowkey adds to the feelings IMO. i personally find this funny & fun & i am happily enjoying how this is unfolding.even loved how the situation with Hero's gf was handled. no need to drag sh*t out or turn her into a really dislikeable, despicable character, just cause she's not end goals. personally i appreciate that.

the minimart that is almost always empty, now got two employees lol... & sorry but idk what people were going on about, when they wrote that the mains got no chemistry. it may not be hot & heavy but it is certainly there - it's more subtle & yet as sweet & charming as in any other romcom - not every emotion needs to be in-ur-face. **************************************************personally i really like the style of acting & the plot so far. all the actors r brining their A game & it shows. idk why everyone is this critical. but each to their own ＼（〇_ｏ）／*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** also loving Only & Tiger, they r sweet & love that Only is totally You Qi, but Tiger isn't a delicate flower like Yang Meng - who was sweet, but also felt too fragile & the power dynamic in any relationship he had, always turned him into a pushover that everyone took advantage off & pushed around. didn't like that, as was constantly worried for him. here Tiger can hold his own & i like this character better.

One Stars

this wasn't as bad as some commenters made it out to be, just cause this an adaptation, it's doesn't need to be identical. yeah it's hard to forget the OG drama, considering how intense the chemistry between Bai Luo Yin & Gu Hai was in the C-BL. but sometimes it's better that there r changes made to fit the country & the actors playing the roles. i think everything that was different here, made sense & i for one didn't think anything was lacking.********************************************************************************************************************************************was worried when i 1st saw that Poppy (Bai Luo Yin) would be played by a 16yr old. considering how intense the relationship between the mains is, was worried it would be cringe inducing. but i think turning this into something more PG wont necessarily take away from the main plot - it just will be different. like the adaptation Stay with Me from 2023. which was different, but just as good as the original. so i hope this is as fun to watch. this 1st ep was promising & i enjoyed myself. ********************************************************************************************************************************************side note; i really loved Bai Luo Yin's father in the OG & Wu Bi's family in the C-adaptation in 2023. here the father seems depressed & bland in comparison. that is a bummer cause what made this drama wasn't just the chemistry between the guys, but the fact that cause of Bai Luo Yin/ Wu Bi's family, Gu Hai/Su Yu didn't just find love but a family in meeting Bai Luo Yin/ Wu Bi. so hope this just a one off & the father character reverts back to the warm, welcoming, happy-go-lucky father figure both guys needed.

so finally Miyata decided to admit his feelings & ran after Iwanaga... big whoop - could this have been better - hell yeah. there was too much dancing around the bush, instead of being straight forward - communication is the key!& i still don't get, if Iwanaga was indeed true in his feelings, how the frack did Kyosuke have a picture of Miyata to send(?!????) in the 1st place, something doesn't fit. *************************************************************************************************************************************************& the mother sent her son to be adopted, not when she found out he was gay but when he tried to act on it. ok, but now as an adult that is openly living a gay life (i assume) what she want him to take his rightful place as heir & get married?? why she think an adult will bow to her will when the teen didn't?!??? ****************************************************************************like i said this was meeh & toxic as all hell a one & done -

Miyata is giving me a headache with his stupidity. the passive aggressiveness, the inability to speak when needed, to shut-up when not... common sense doesn't exist with this dude. ******************************************************************************i felt bad for the teen that got his heart broken. that was undeserving, get also his not rushing to confront Iwanaga. but NOW when he's faced with the man that set off this whole disaster, why not use ur brains & wonder - wonder why the person that made the bet (that u would show up for the elopement), was the one that clued u in on the bet? making sure that u wouldn't!!! why not spill the bean when in Iwanaga's office, as to who this person is (to u) & wipe that smug smile off his face?!? *************but nope, he rather be passive aggressive about the wrong things & getting tired of his words not matching his actions. he loves saying he's not in-love, that he doesn't care or even want to be in a long term relationship, but everything he does screams love & a want for commitment. he keeps playing this f*cked-up game of chicken & then is shocked when he loses. ************************************************************************************************************************************************also i really am tired of him acting like he's unworthy.... it now seems like he is fishing for compliments & it's just adding to how much i dislike his manipulative ways. i don't like Iwanaga, but i am coming to really detest Miyata.

well didn't take them long to get to the mating part lol... not shocked considering how Miyata was going about things. he might keep playing hard to get, but that's just it - it was a game, nothing but a tease. he wants (in the biblical sense) Iwanaga, maybe even more then Iwanaga wants him. but found it hilarious his rant at the end. i thought after getting laid people usually mellow down. here Miyata wound tighter then before - guess it will take more then one "try".... for it to work on him. after all he been thirsting for a couple of decades... ******************************************************************************************************************************************feel bad for Yuto, dude was used & then tossed aside, instead of moving on he was kept beside the person he's infatuated with. little wonder he can't move on. but love his b*tchy side & he get's Miyata good lol it's hilarious. Miyata has no come back & the ones he makes, r as weak as his resolve & personality - sorry not sorry.*****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i know the looker of this BL is Iwanaga but IMO Miyata is better looking between the 2, heck he manlier too - physic wise.

this may sound mean, but Miyata is like a b*tch in heat. he loves that Iwanaga is circling him, but when he tries to mount him. Miyata pulls back, not cause he doesn't want "it", but he has to play hard to get - he needs Iwanaga to work hard for "it". especially given their past, he can't make it too easy (even though anyone with eyes can see, that he's dying for "it"). so this basically their mating dance.*******************************************************************************************************************************************what i did love; Ako Akihiro's girlfriend, smart chick legged it & saved herself the headache of ending up as his beard - in a loveless, cold marriage.. no woman deserves to be tied to that type of man (someone that i using her), with no regard to her as a human with wants & needs (not just sexual). *****************************************************************************************& the 2nd happy moment in this ep was when Yuto, Takashi's assistant called Miyata a b*tch lol i cheered Ψ(￣∀￣)Ψ 2 scenes that made this ep for me. the mains r just tedious

of course gonna be the odd one out, don't like either main. really don't like Iwanaga, there is something sleazy about him - the typical middle-aged professor that sleeps (= take advantage) with his young students. & Miyata not that much better, he's deluding himself (u gay date a man & then the 1st love wont have such a hold on u, maybe) or the woman he is dating. what is frustrating to watch, if u don't like someone or hold a grudge - even if u gotta work with them, u will keep it 100% professional & avoid any type of innuendo's or friendly overtures made by them. *****************************************************here Iwanaga from the word go is grossly lecherous towards Miyata & instead of reacting coldly - professionally, Miyata acting coy, like a confused, inexperienced school girl. ***************************************************************************************even though this just 6 eps, i feel like i am gonna have a tough time keep my temper in check - but hey at least (given this toxic as F*ck) i won't be rooting for anyone, so wont be invested... sadly doesn't mean it wont annoy the carp out of me lol

when someone tells u who there r, listen! *********************************************************************************************sadly i know Taishin is a lost cause, he is blinded by this 1st love & will agree to anything, if it means he can be with Takara. the fact Takara gave nothing of himself, in his confession if anything declared it was more of a take it or leave it offer. he had planned out his future & it was left to Taishin if he was in or out. this so one sided -************************************************but as he kept Taishin close, creating a homey atmosphere - always being around one another. it's like u create an addict, u offer them freebies until they r hooked & then no matter what u demand or say, they will do anything for the drugs. situation no different here. *********************************************************************************************************************this started off good but slowly turned toxic... & i need Taishin to stop saying "Takara saved him, in their 1st meeting." yes it is heartbreaking, losing a childhood pet. not belittling his pain. BUT he wouldn't die from that loss, it would hurt & he would cry maybe for days or week, but as time goes by, that pain would get bearable. that's freakin life

Takara is genuinely frustrating me, doesn't he like Taishin?!? isn't that why he pushed him into confessing (coward move BTW) here Taishin walks around with his heart on his sleeve, he is an open book & even if something could confuse u, he is painfully candid about his every emotion & thought, so u r Not left guessing. ***************************************************************on the other hand, u got Takara who seems like he is enjoying playing the aloof character, that is above the need to explain himself or steep so low as to showing his true feelings. even when he sees Taishin constantly second guessing his worth & his right o be with someone worthier then him, like Takara. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************i know it's great when someone keep massaging ur ego, but that also mean Taishin is belittling himself constantly. why not clear things up & tell him u care for him, r into him - that he is worthy of u. that u want him no less then he wants u... bleedin annoying
