Contender for Best BL for 2025.
Disclaimer
What I am writing here are my views and thoughts about this movie. Some of you may not like it. That does not give you the right to try to come at me with your opinions on why this series should get a better score and why it is better than I think it is. You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly respect that.
So, in the beginning, I was not interested in this series when I saw the trailer. But, as the time drew nearer for it to premiere, I realized that it was adapted from the manga series Dakaichi: I'm Being Harassed by the Sexiest Man of the Year. I knew it from the anime, as I did watch it while it was airing, more than from the manga, and this got me excited for the series.
Now, I know the two main leads from some of their previous work. I know Smart from his previous work 'Don't Say No' (and yes, I was one of the foolish ones that was waiting for his character's story, Leon and his love interest, Pob in what was supposed to be called 'Just Say Yes' that never came to be). And I know Boom mostly from his lead roles ' My Dream' and 'Chains of Heart.' And, I must say, they both did an excellent job with their performance in this series. I was enthralled every week and couldn't wait to see what else these boys could bring with their performances. Their acting and chemistry were on point, and I felt that they did a good job in bringing the manga to a live screen adaptation.
So, I know from the title people may be wondering if I think that this is the best BL of the year; why did I not give it a 10? Simply, the last episode, in my opinion, was not really the strongest, as it gave us an ending that is open for a second season. I personally don't have high hopes for a second season, and for that reason, I am giving this series a 9.5.
