Hikari no Naka

By definition, Akaso is the main leading role but it's a bit confusing here in MDL since they only have main role and support role. Machida is the second leading role/main supporting role, so maybe that's why it is put as the main role as well here.

This feels like a half-cooked meal for me, great recipe, great ingredients but the cooking time is not sufficient. Many things left unexplained leaving me puzzled. And am I the only one that think Hyun Jun's acting is rather stiff? He has a pretty face, giving vampire-like vibes but almost expressionless. Some of his lines are very romantic, but he spoke it like reciting the sentences and I don't feel much emotions from it. And I was always distracted by his spotless snow-white skin, if that's really his real face complexion, I'm dying to know his skincare routine XD
Positive sides, great production quality and OST! As expected from Korean production.

Omg I was imagining the same thing! XD that's very possible, right?

Thank you! It's a pity that she hasn't written BL manga for a long time now.

Is this fanservice more of Thai things? I don't see it with Japanese fan culture either. If there are cute interactions, it's bc they genuinely have good relationship. On the other hand, China has started to do that kind of fanservices too but labeling it as "bromance" lol. I really hate this kind of forced "sugar", it's very unhealthy for the fans and the actors.

I checked the award website since I was curious, hopefully I got that right :) apparently Galaxy Award is one of the most important awards in Japanese entertainment, no wonder the cast and crew are so happy ^^

More good news! Yesterday CM received Galaxy Monthly Award for the month of Dec 2020 in TV category and making it eligible as candidate for the annual Galaxy Award. It is apparently a prestigious award that all CM casts and director celebrated it on their social media. Machida also mentioned it on his Insta live yesterday. Congrats Cherry Magic!

It would definitely be nice if there is a kiss, but if they are going to do the emotionless fish kiss like Tsuge-Minato, personally I would rather them not having it. Their hugs, hand-holdings and flirting are much more sweet and intimate than dead fish kiss :)

It is actually the official one, you can see it on their official website :D

Awesome! CM is really popular in Taiwan. If there is no pandemic, I bet Machida would've had fan meeting there since LDH has office in Taiwan *jealous*

Ichihachi san, would you consider subbing 3boshi? *wink*

Oh that's a good sign :D

My big question with this drama is:
1. The manga itself only just published in Nov 2020 (1st vol out in March 2021), so most of the story in the drama will be original ones?
2. The incredible speed of the whole casting and production process. If manga just published in Nov 2020, meaning the whole process only takes less than 4 months until broadcast. Machida was also likely to be cast during or after CM broadcast.

Omg that's so true lol. But I'm looking forward to him playing beautiful and mysterious bartender ^^

Any idea where I watch Ep 6 raw? Can't wait to see Akaso's performance there.

We will have ikemen feast \^0^/

Please don't make us fall for him even further XD this role is also supposed to be a bit mysterious, so different from Kurosawa with all his wild fantasies lol.

Sample manga chapter from the author. Machida looks perfect for Amamiya's role!

No idea yet, but maybe Irozuku or Ichihachi will be interested?
