Hikari no Naka

I think it's a very good BL drama, good production, good story and directing. I really like Shirasu Jin's acting, he is very natural and good at expressing the emotions, not to mention very good looking also. But I find the actor playing Yuuki is rather stiff, at least not as good as Shirasu, and that's what makes this drama rather lacking. And I couldn't get past his weird hairstyle, I mean, he works as salaryman, is that kind of punk hairstyle acceptable? And when he gets older his hairstyle also stays the same... oh well.

Personally I wouldn't take it seriously, it just doesn't make sense to accept a role in BL drama when he's prohibited to do MM kiss. Most of JP BL will have a kiss scene, so it's kinda inevitable. Popular actors in Ossan's Love also did kiss scene more than once. And the original post said "he/she heard it from his/her sister" (?? how accurate could it be?). Well, even if it's true, at this moment I'll still be content with their sweet life together :)

Thanks a lot for compiling this, it's very informative!

Akaso's photo album will be reprinted according to the information. You can also try order it from CD Japan when it gets reprinted, they ship overseas.

I think there is something wrong with the system, the top BL next door's viewers also decreased quite a lot..

Yeah, it doesn't ship overseas. I had to resort to buying Kindle version of Machida's photo album before. I just hope that it will somehow be available in other sites such as YesAsia where they can ship overseas.

Is it my eyes or my computer or the number of watchers has dropped from 6000+ to 3600?? and the no of rating dropped to less than 1000?? and it's no longer the Japan's top airing show! what happened to MDL?

As much as I want to see Machida in it, the story is about survival game which looks quite bloody.. not really my cup of tea. Maybe I'll just pick scenes where Machida is in it lol. But thanks alot for organizing this :)

His photos are beautiful! I wish I could buy it.. T_T

Looks like an ecchi drama? lol

I can listen to his voice forever :D he has such a deep and gentle voice..

I translated a very short Kurodachi comic from Twitter in the Discussion forum above. Bless all these wonderful artists for giving us elixir to prolong our lives during the painful weekly wait. I might translate from time to time if I find time and interesting comics. Enjoy.

Yeah I think it also has something to do with how the rating algorithm works. I also want to write a review but I'm waiting until it finishes. But it's kinda frustrating to see how the rating doesn't differ much with other average-quality dramas.

I seriously don't know how people give rating in MDL, I always thought that the rating here is very generous, I often saw drama that got really bad rating somewhere else but still got OK rating here. That's why I don't really take MDL rating seriously. But seriously guys, this drama deserves higher rating, it's been stable at 9.2, what happened?

Thanks for sharing this. It is interesting to see the author's point of view since we don't get to see a lot of it. It is indeed the greatest joy for a writer to see their work being adapted in such a faithful manner and even exceeds the expectation. So happy for her. I can only sympathize with writers from some other countries who often find their works being butchered beyond recognition once it is adapted to live action, it must be devastating for them.

It's a very Asian thing, once you get past certain age (like 25 yo) then you're considered old T_T

I can already imagine how cringey they are xD

No prob! might be handy for future reference, lol.
