Got it. :)

I hope you didn't just spoil this story for me. You wouldn't do that, would you?

In truth, I'm up to here with people who come flying into comments, insisting that "this, this, and then this, are all going to happen because that's what happens in some Manga or novel, as if live-action adaptations aren't almost always significantly changed in the conversion process, whether for brevity, or just because a director wants to do so.

I should have known better than to click on your spoiler reply.

Indeed. Though, to be non-sexist, that should be "to each their own,' yes? :D

I dropped it quickly.
As I watched, I kept wondering why the main couple in a BL was being played by two lipstick Lesbians.

So far, my doctors suspect I have a brain worm of some sort...

Agreed!

Lots of MDLers think lame shows are "great."
MDL ratings are a joke.

I hope you don't determine your life choices based on how many other people are doing the same thing. Lemmings follow each other off cliffs, too. (Actually, the Lemming thing is a myth, but you get my drift.)

SIGH...
"Hugs (like the one behind the curtain) or eyes can convey so much more meaningful importance and sexiness than a kiss!"

Here, you clearly rate "hugs and eyes" as potentially more intense than "a kiss," which puts kissing in second place. Also, I'm not clear on how putting one's mouth on another person's mouth, moving one's lips in coordination with the other party's lips, and potentially tangling tongues and swapping spit can be LESS "intimate" than hugging someone or using eye signals. This is why touching, hugging, eye-staring, etc. always LEAD UP TO the kiss. The kiss is the ultimate deal.

I find it interesting/amusing that sex-phobic fujoshis love to giggle and gush over BLs that lack kisses, as I so often see here. It's revealing. They, and perhaps you, in their hearts of hearts, find kissing between two guys to be icky.

It doesn't matter what Morisake's brother said, if that's what he said, because Sake is never served in that huge an amount, never in a tall glass 2/3 full, never with ice, and never with lemon. Thus, it was either a goof in the writing or the props. Consider applying your knowledge of the Japanese language to the culture, as well.

Nor does one get vomit-drunk from half a sip of booze, no matter what kind. More bad writing.

Have a wonderful day.

Hello.
Glad you enjoyed my rant. :)

What does the "Zettai BL approach..." refer to?

Thanks. :)

One example of really bad writing...how did you notice it among the 505 other examples? :)

No...no, it's not.

This thing is FULL of dumb BL tropes. Who would notice one more?

Could you point me to where it was indicated that the drink was sake?
He drank it from a tall cocktail glass with ice and a lemon slice.
Sake is almost always served warm from small, ceramic cups.
In the rare instances when it is served cold, it's in a wine glass, and NO ice.

You know nothing about SAKE, do you? lol

He got half a sip, max. Bad writing, bad directing.

Starts strong, then becomes increasingly lame with each succeeding episode.
If you like well-written BLs with plots that make sense, and in which young men act like actual young men, you won't like this at all.

He drank half a sip, if that.

At least that might make it interesting.

This could only be written by a straight girl.
