I have two questions that have been nagging at me - flagging slight spoilers: first when he says I'll make you cry and beg (problematic, much?), is the intended meaning, I'll make you beg *for forgiveness* (Slightly less problematic)? And second, when he gets back and she takes care of him while he's drunk, even though his friend says all those things about her having cooked the meal, he doesn't realize that her being there wasn't a dream/episode?
He's an incredible actor. I don't know where he's been hiding all this time. His eyes speak volumns and his facial expressions? Chief's kiss. Fake Fat Lips is completely made because of him. Otherwise, I'd probably have dropped it partway through episode 1. (with the first NC scene. It just rubbed me the wrong way.)
Ok, so he's doing another japanese drama, but the is saying he only has some Japanese skill and had to memorize his script for the last one, but none of the sources are really great. So what is his skills in Japanese? And/or why is he in so many (ok, 2) japanese dramas?
Some might say this show isn't a BL, but then again, aren't BL the stories of two male-identifying individuals…
Also, if something disappointing happens in the next 2.5 episodes and I don't remember to come back and address it, please be understanding. And don't spoil it for me.
This may be one of the most beautiful, heartwarming, and (seemingly coincidentally) politically perfect dramas…
Some might say this show isn't a BL, but then again, aren't BL the stories of two male-identifying individuals falling in love and being happy despite society being the way it is? Plus some other semantics. Get it? Semantics? LOL. I'll plead delirious happiness as an excuse.
This may be one of the most beautiful, heartwarming, and (seemingly coincidentally) politically perfect dramas ever. It is a fantastic storyline and the characters are wonderful but most importantly (in many regards), it makes such a simple and fundamental argument for marriage equality that everyone needs to watch it. Especially Japanese politicians. And people who love good stories. And people who are experiencing relationship problems. And people who like petting zoos and cute puppies. And those who are looking for meaning in life. But I digress. I can say, without knowing the author's intentions, but just watching it as is, not a political show, it's a contemporary fictional story, or, if we were to categorize it according to westernized concerpts of Japanese genres, it's a slice of life story, and the story depicts the three main characters' life experiences and how their lives intersect. It's a story about people confronting and overcoming typical slice of life challenges and the family that naturally forms through working together to confront these challenges. For some characters, the chosen family fills a void in their lives, and for others, it is just the natural progress in their life - falling in love with another person and making a life with them. But this, in essence, is the argument for gay marriage. It makes lives complete and it fills the void where conventional, heterosexual relationships fall short. You don't even have to realize it's making perfect arguments for marriage equality. The show just does it by existing. Oh, it also manages to argue for pay equality and women's rights in the workplace through another seemingly unrelated plotline... It's just brilliant! And I haven't even finished it yet! I just cried over the mother's speech to the BL author and how BL helped her accept her son's identity by realizing he can have a happy life just the way he is.

And second, when he gets back and she takes care of him while he's drunk, even though his friend says all those things about her having cooked the meal, he doesn't realize that her being there wasn't a dream/episode?
