Disclaimer

What I am writing here are my views and thoughts about this series. 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 higher or lower score and why it is better/worse than I think it is. You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly respect that.

I would first like to say that I usually don't like series/movies that deal with cheating unless the cheater gets their just desserts. That being said, I actually like this series. It's more than two men, who are both in relationships with other people, coming together and cheating. Both of their relationships are not offering something that they both desire/crave/want – intimacy with their loved ones. And yes, it may be a shock to some viewers, but I honestly believe that they do love their respective partners.

I mean, I personally believe that they should have broken up with their partners before this relationship developed as far as it did – but, as I mentioned before, they loved their significant others. In the span of seven episodes, we the viewers are able to see how much time they have expressed their desires to be intimate with them. I understand the reason for Kaori and her desires for no intimacy. I honestly didn't fully comprehend Fujisawa's own, though. But what I took from this was that these two couples knew that they had an intimacy problem. One partner wanted it, while the next one didn't. As such, someone from the two relationships should have called for a breakup, or at least Kario/Fujisawa should have explained to their boyfriends the reason behind why they don't want to have any intimacy with them.

That being said, I can understand why some people love this series and why some don't. I'm not here to try to change anyone's mind for them to either love or hate this series, as we all may understand this series differently. I'm just here to say that I liked it, and if anyone wants a JBL recommendation that's a bit different from what is usually portrayed, I will recommend this series to them.
