Like War (Mark) in Love Mechanics or Peterpan (Phanu) in Oh! My Sunshine Night. Although in the latter case it just wasn't worth it to sit through that torture. I'm with you - I'm a little tired of totally useless Victorian consumptive virgin ukes.

It's a fantasy sequence where he emerges like Boticelli's Venus. It's in an early episode - I can't remember which, and I'm not rewatching this travesty. :)

I take it this was canceled.

While it's still awful, the uncut version is considerably better - it explains all the relationships way more and makes a lot more sense. I thought it would be racier, but it's not really.

I think he does that sweet cuteness well and with consistency. Maybe it's also the bad hair they gave him. The tattoos do make him look a little older and add a touch of masculinity that a lot of people don't like to see in their ukes.

Blueming was a missed opportunity. If they'd made it a comedy like it was supposed to be, it would have been a lot of fun. I don't know why they keep adapting comedies as dramas.

They did it with Love Stage, too. In the original the uke us totally useless - for example his artwork just looked like a 5-year old with crayons drew it, and only the seme found it amazing because he was so besotted. Also, the brother relationship was a bit more questionable, in a somehow funny rather than disturbing way (it was totally desexualized).

I don't remember him having a body like that, but holy cow.

Or perhaps less work into the script and let Hiro and Jericho do their thing.

If they'd done the logical thing and had Mahiro come to Tokyo, they'd have needed another set for the dinner, unless they ate in the office.

most people's mothers matters to them but you don't see any directors throwing them onscreen for no apparent reason. It's self-indulgent.

Did they let Hiro and Jericho write and direct their own parts? Because it feels like a completely different series - and a much better one.

The problem with Xion Lim productions is that he has no control over self-indulgence. How could anyone believe anyone gives one flying f@#$ about that stupid dog? Or Miss Becky, or any of the other grotesque stereotypes that manage to be offensive, annoying, and boring all at once without any real camp? A real drag queen should have a streak of malice and fabulousness to her, not just screech constantly.

I can't even watch Win & Sky - that actress who plays their boss is so incapable that it's embarassing, there's zero chemistry between the main pair, and their kiss was even fake. Teejay obviously would like to be anywhere but in this disaster, and Miko, who at least has always had charm in his past roles, doesn't here.

Contrast that with Zeke and Fifth whose scene was so scorching hot, not to mention beautifully written, that it's impossible to believe they're in the same show - only the completely incompetent lighting gave away who the director was. The way they touch each other, lean into each other, and interact feels real, like they're really into each other. It's like a more sexual version of Fourth & Gemini.

This show is a 9 for Zeke and Fifth and a 1 for everthing else. Unfortunately everything else is most of the runtime.

That doesn't make any sense, but I guess I can roll with it.

It was a tad odd. But not as odd as having the couple drive 2.5 hours to some house in some village in the middle of nowhere.

Also, hot body. I'll never grow tired of it.

That was tedious. I actually thought I was rewatching last episode and looked for Ep 4 - way, way too much flashback. Also, why would Saengtai hear kissing noises (actually eating noises) from Phat? Don't they just hear each other's thoughts?

The enemies to lovers of the secondary couple takes it too far - they're just unpleasant. I really liked the first two episodes, but this last one knocked off a few points for me.

Me too.

I like this - time to get the romance going though.

I think Mahiro knows what his feelings are, but he had no clue that Souta shares them (and neither does Souta).

I have friends who had about 2 weeks of parties for their 25th anniversary - they probably had other celebrations as well.

Well, it's a Chinese name, so Taiwan?
