YOU chose to press play on a yakuza bl and then get mad when the yakuza be there? cause this rating is insanely…
Who is "YOU?"
..."i do not think it is very good but it is not bad at all..."
Contradict yourself much? The quality of a show shouldn't be judged with a finger on the scale because X country isn't "there" yet. It's either good, bad, or somewhere in-between regardless of where it was made.
How would people know they're "not gonna like a show" if they don't watch at least part of it? BTW, this rating is insanely HIGH. It should be a 6, max.
OK, well, first of all, the finger separating their lips in that hospital room smooch put to death any last specks of credibility this show had. Nothing screams "These actors don't want anyone to think they're homos!" like the refusal to kiss, even though they're playing gay characters. Never mind that they've already acted out two gay sex scenes, I guess kissing is just too f**king gay for them. Absurd.
This show had a great many pacing and other issues already, but the finger kiss was the last straw for me. I'm curious enough as to the outcome to keep watching, but I'll do so grudgingly. One of the show's more annoying flaws is the loooooong pauses when no one says anything at the end of crucial scenes, or the end of episodes. Amateur hour.
What's up with the Yakuza Boss's wife's freaking ears? And oh my god, her fake actor-laugh. Kill me now.
The bit with the lipstick kiss at the funeral was bizarre and made zero sense to me. I'm blaming the director for all of these issues, by the way.
I find the biological son increasingly hot, unfortunately.
Well your statemement and opinion simply dont make sense, because i know a lot of people who dont even watch bl,…
"People are allowed to watch dumb, idiotic or low quality shows."
Please quote me where I said anyone is not "allowed" to watch this "dumb, idiotic, or low-quality" show. Watch whatever the hell you want, child.
"...who didnt even like this drama that much. I thought of this drama as meh, and i also dropped it at some episode i dont ever remember anymore."
So, basically, you agree with me about this show, but thought it would be a great idea to jump in here and leave a four-paragraph rant about shit the voices in your head yelled at you. lol
Kinji isn't riding Ren....Ren is the bottom ....Kinji was f****** him....I read the manga Kinji is top and that…
Must disagree. Just because something is one way in the Manga doesn't mean it has to be that way in the adaptation. If the director's intent was to show Kinji pounding Ren, the scene was exceedingly poorly executed. Where were Ren's legs? How did he not have his pants off or legs up? And afterwards, we only see Ren apparently zipping up. If he'd just been f**ked, there would be more mopping up to do. :) Oh well. It's too bad when a BL like this that shows promise is so sloppy with details like this. It just occurred to me we have yet to see them kiss, though they've supposedly done the deed twice. Weird.
Pretty damn good. Keito's comparison of the rose to a woman's hoo-ha, and the crushing of it thereafter in his palm, was cool and creepy. Some silly scene/props/detail flubs, but nothing to cry about. lol That view from the grave site...wow. Gorgeous.
Moving along well...nice pace. Excellent boink scene. Sexy. I like that Kinji bats for both teams, maybe more than two teams, but isn't conflicted about it. He likes sex. Any kind of sex. :) Kinji's back tat is awesome.
Overall, this has a pretty good/authentic vibe, especially considering its Yakuza setting. Most BL portrayals of Yakuza stuff is cringe, especially when actors who look like they're 14 are playing hardened criminals. :D Takahashi Hiroto is 25 but looks 10, but I'll let it slide because he's cute and his acting doesn't suck too bad so far.
Wada Masanari is a hoot, but then, he has a much broader, expansive role to play. Playing the silent/brooding dude, as Hiroto is doing, is a tougher sell.
If I ever move to Japan or Korea, perhaps I can get a job as a BL intimacy coordinator. Not to make sure no one gets their feelings hurt or steps over a line, I don't care about that, but to ensure that sex acts are convincingly portrayed. Examples: Kinji riding Ren's gear stick in the car - You have to move up and down vertically, not make tiny horizontal sliding motions. I laughed when they showed the car bumper bouncing up and down, but then we saw Kinji barely moving inside. Ren giving a BJ to the Yakuza senior - Generally, when one smokes pole, one must move one's head up and down; that's why it's called "giving head," not "holding head still." Again, I laughed. Tidying up afterwards - Again, in general, if you participate in mud packing, or give or receive a BJ, there are...substances...that must be mopped up, wiped away etc. Now, perhaps Ren swallowed, but apparently, both of them zipped up after the gear shift incident without wiping up first. Gross.
PM me if you want to know how I know these things.
Why are they hanging out/sleeping in the car? Yakuza types have money to burn for a hotel. Did I miss something? That car looks to be from the late 80s/early 90s. Is that when this is set?
"Please stop discussing it with me..." lol You hold the power to end this discussion any time you choose, silly.
Child, I couldn't agree more that the universe is gray, not black/white. That concept is a cornerstone of my worldview. Regardless, you have yet to explain why Black people don't publicly call themselves "n****rs."
Of course, language evolves. That's part of what makes language fascinating. My problem with "queer" as you use it, is that it did not evolve naturally; it was jammed down our throats overnight, beginning in the 1980s, by activists and academic types. One day it was black, and the next day it was white, you might say. I, and a great many other people, don't like having language controlled and manipulated in such a presumptuous, arrogant manner.
So, you consider "strange" a compliment? Do you know where the phrase "queer as folk" comes from? Do you know who Oscar Wilde was (he was English!)? Do you know...ah, never mind.
BTW, the European version of Google (a US company!) says the same thing about "queer" as the US version.
"Queer" has been a pejorative word from its beginnings in 16th century Scotland/Germany(that would be Europe, yes?) to mean "strange, odd, unhealthy, weird," etc. By the late 19th century, it had evolved into a derogatory, sneering term to describe gay men, as it was used in a letter read aloud to the court during the trial of Oscar Wilde in 1894. You DO know who Oscar Wilde is...right?
It remained a sneering insult until gay people like you started shoving it down our throats 40 years ago to describe ourselves. Suddenly, "gay," which previously covered the LGBTQ+ spectrum, wasn't good enough. We needed to "appropriate" "queer" as an in-your-face self-descriptive, demeaning ourselves in the process. How strange...Black people don't publicly label themselves as "n****rs. I wonder why that is...?
Why not go all out and use "faggot," "dyke," "muff-diver," "cock-sucker," etc., to describe ourselves? There could be a department of "Faggot Studies" at the university where I work!
It's clear you don't know about a thing called Google, and I'll not expend any more energy trying to bring you up to speed. But do consider, if you care about other people at all (Does "So, don't see that just from your POV." ring a bell?), that when you throw "queer" around as if you know where it originated and what it means, that word hits a lot of us, myself included, like a knife.

Why is everyone so drawn to the little Hobbit MC?
When it comes to BL, Japan truly has become Thailand North.
Why do you consider 7.7/10 to be a low rating?
"Hating/haters:" The most overused cliche on the Internet.
Fire your ESL teacher. They suck.
