Absolutely terrible. Thailand continues to aggressively insult its BL audience by releasing this sort of made-in-a-minute garbage. At least it's nice to know I won't feel obligated to waste 45 minutes of my time each week for the next century.
LMAO!!! i love your comment..thank you :-DDDD hahaha. I'm usually the one dropping BL series but this time it's…
I watched the first episode and found this show intriguing and well-directed/acted despite a low budget, so I hoped it would turn out to be a good series. But beginning with episode 2 the series has gone downhill to where I don't want to watch anymore.
Must-see film, especially for those interested in WW2 history.
Great to see Watanabe Ken so young...I didn't know it was him until I came here to rate the film. He's become a much better actor over the years since this film.
This would have been a 10/10 from me except for some cheesy and over-the-top acting here and there, which I blame on the director. Also, some inexplicable behaviors from characters here and there. Best performance in the film may be that of Kishida Kyoko as the head nurse.
ummmmm do you think the same about straight dramas???
Well said. So many MDLers see sex as this dark, nasty, rare thing, when in fact it is one of the, if not THE, most powerful influence on human behavior, including those far outside the bedroom. There's a really unhealthy view of sex as something to be whispered about, hidden. Lot of shame-based sex-related thinking on this site.
first it was romanticising pedophilia, and now an unprompted admittance that you’d rape somebody.. I bet the…
I realized I had wasted far too many keystrokes and brain cells interacting with you, so I deleted my replies.
All I really want to say is it's a pleasure inadvertently pushing your innumerable and hyper-sensitive buttons with my comments, eliciting the wildly revealing sort of replies you leave.
No, they are not "wholesome." Being asexual and unlike any young man ever made on Earth is not "wholesome," it's…
Oh my. "whatever you say, Mia" was meant exactly as it reads. Not dismissive of your comment, just not into arguing about it.
Ummm...there's a lot of optional space for plot developments between "fuck each other into next week..." and profoundly unrealistic, asexual "wholesomeness."
The first time Akira overreacts to a loving/flirtatious comment or gesture from Shin each episode makes me laugh but by the fifth time each episode, I'm over it. 🤪
I never said I "hated" anything or anyone. I DID say I tune in each week to gaze upon the beauty of Kusakawa Takuya's depthless, round eyes and handsome face.
Yokohama Ryusei is hella hot and seems to be a good actor, but less than a third of the way in, I'm dropping out. It's too boring. I love me an engaging mystery/thriller/evil corporation - type flick with creepy undertones but this is too slow in starting to go somewhere. Also too many miscues like dumping huge truckloads of mysterious contents into holes not big enough to hold them. So you have guys shoveling dirt onto what would end up being a big mound in the middle of the flat portion of the landfill.
And who would build a gargantuan, concrete factory/facility on the side of a mountain in the earthquake center of the universe, Japan? It's sitting there, waiting to slide down onto the village in the midst of the next major tremor.
Why do we see hundreds of marchers with torches in some kind of procession, but then just 30 or 40 people in front of the stage for the performances?
Finally, how many times to Asian flicks have to repeat the old tropes such as weird old matriarch dying of cancer, young woman concealing a serious illness while secretly snarfing pain pills, a useless parent who gambles racking up debts she can't pay, a masochistic son who slaves all day and night to pay off the debts his useless mother racks up but who doesn't leave or kick her out, loansharks (really? operating openly in a town this small?), etc. etcl, before the writers start coming up with some new ideas or at least new twists on the old ones?
Anyway, bored and annoyed, I'm checking out. Don't really care WHAT they're burying at night in the landfill; it can't be any more lethal than this script is to my brain cells.
Not gonna give it that extra 10 minutes of my life.

Highly recommended.
The FL here is atrocious.
Cannot stand this actress.
Almost as annoying as her character.
Dropped. Life's too short.

Out after 45 minutes. Dropped.

You deserve an endurance medal.
Your reviews are...something.
