Episode 5: Oh my god, this has become so juvenile and stupid.
I feel embarrassed for Gennosuke, who is a good actor and hot af; everyone else involved should be banned from the industry for life. Especially the writers and director, who are without talent or discernment.
Every "conflict" is shamelessly manufactured and derivative; if not for tropes and cliches, this show would have no plot. And its tropes and cliches are rendered with zero originality. School festivals, haunted houses, fevers, trip-fall-catches, Shakespearean drama over missing an event because you're sick...seriously? And sorry, not sorry, his werewolf costume and act were not frightening or kawai; they were pathetic. He acted like the festival would have shut down if weren't there, when in fact, no one noticed his absence. 🙄
And then, after five episodes of irrational, inexplicable, fevered passion for the rather plain runt that is Mayama, out of the blue we get "I like you as if you were the school mascot..?" wtf? I think this show is seriously stupid and even my jaw dropped at hearing that. 😂
Lord, what a mess. I hope this doesn't dent Gennosuke's future. He's talented and has the face of a star.
I find Chiharu such a frustrating character at this point I don't want them together he never seems to put Wataru…
Wataru is a great example of the victim mentality. He creates scenarios in which he casts himself as the poor, poor, pitiful one. I don't want them together either, but for reasons opposite to yours.
This series is going in circles. We are back to where we started but just before Saeki's departure. IDK why he…
What should he be begging forgiveness for? Studying and pursuing his degree ambitions? Why would Chiharu look to Wataru for perspective or feedback? He never gives any. He's always in his own head.
I mean, everyone in the latter part of the comment section seems to be acting as if Wataru is a saint and Chiharu…
Holy shit, THIS! I completely agree, and I thank you for saying it all much better than I could.
All the conflict is manufactured and exists solely in Wataru's head. Neurotic af. He's a professional victim feeling sorry for himself and Chiharu should run away fast.
i just think chiharu knows how much he hurt wataru by leaving without saying a word before and putting him through…
I'd argue that Wataru has put Chiharu through a lot of hell from his side, with his endless dilly-dallying about finally acknowledging their relationship and acting on it.
Episode 11: If this show had a mouth, butter wouldn't melt in it, and that's the problem.
Theatre manager's a stalker. Eleven eps in, and we get a trip-fall-catch..? Lame. Could they be telegraphing what's about to happen any more obviously? 😏🙄 That "fall"...please. 😂
Wataru is cute but neurotic af. Chiharu would be wise to end whatever this...relationship is.
What are you crying about, bitch?!!!
This show is a great example of how low the stakes remain when all the miscommunication/misunderstandingsconflicts are so clumsily self-manufactured by the writers and thus the characters. How can I care about them when their "suffering" is so avoidable with even one or two brain cells and even the smallest fragment of a spine? Doesn't help that the story, such as it is, could have been told in four episodes, and here we are, moving into the TWELFTH.
I'm going to stop wasting my energy thinking or bitching about this weak show for today. I don't want to risk burning up one or both of the two brain cells I have remaining.
(Not a fan of Thai shows, generally.)
Japan appears to be the new Thailand, BL-speaking. 😊
To me, there is no chemistry.
Why are your emojis sad?
He was holding onto a skinny little twig. 😂
What do you like about the show?
Look it up.
Also, relatively few people are watching this show, and even fewer are commenting.
No surprise there.

I couldn't agree more with your take on these two characters.
I'll be following your career from now on.
Best of luck to you.

It's a dominant genetic trait that humans are generally drawn to.
