Really enjoyed this movie. The cinematography and art were gorgeous and the leads were also beautiful. I felt engrossed in the story, and while it wasn't fast-paced it was very soothing and healing. However, I just felt like something was missing. I think I wanted a more conclusive ending (see spoiler).
At any rate, it was a lovely film about how art can be a catharsis for one's life, trauma, and emotions. It was also about family, as the ML found a new family with the artists and a new passion and purpose. Everything was very delicately portrayed and well done by the actors. We can assume in the end that both leads found their direction once again.
Additionally, Ryusei was gorgeous in this, not going to lie. However, his haircut seemed a bit problematic. I kept wanting to brush the hair out of his eyes so he could see his art better, LOL. His bangs looked like they kept getting in the way.
I like that Ryusei chooses different topics and types of movies/dramas to challenge himself and grow as an actor. With his pretty face he could stick to romance and with his physique and martial arts skills he could just do action and slay it, but he doesn't. He chooses variation in his roles and totally commits. Love that about him. I can't wait to see what type of role he'll choose next. That said, I personally wouldn't mind if he picked some more romances. Just saying! ♥️
Admittedly, I watched this film solely for Ryusei. He once again proved that he is more than just a beautiful face and a gorgeous specimen of a man in this role. I wanted to both pity and punch his character. His acting was superb.
I finished subbing episode 3 🥰 if you want to check it out it's here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10EdfwOam13NzEOuK65sDtkxiIXDN_7GG/view?usp=drivesdk
Woohoo! Super excited to rewatch this again and I can't wait for tomorrow's new episode. Thank you so very much for this! Keep 'em coming!
was a bit worried when the drama announcement was made because i knew subbed episodes would take awhile and my…
I must second this. I too love this drama and am so fortunate to have found such talented and kind posters here willing to share their hard work with others. Thank you again for all of your valued efforts from the bottom of my ❤️!
Yup, so far we get to see it twice this new season. In E02 in the spa/bathhouse and in E03 when he comes inside after getting caught in the rainstorm. And of course we can't forget the bridge scene from E02 and the the majority of the pool scene from E06 of Season 01! At 19:50 from S01 E06 is a spectacular shot of the both of them, not to mention his dripping wet hair! Lucky us! ❤️
raws to episode 3!https://mega.nz/file/jdF1zQpS#pV785rYhyTq-lFm3HEdy_52d2GOO03kg044WtrJEILM
Fantastic! Thank you so much! Just watched on Tver with horrible auto-generated Eng subs to tide me over while I'm waiting for some decent Eng fan subs from you lovely people. Thank you for your efforts!❤️
Ryo was literally made for this role. He's absolutely perfect as Haijin. I'm reading the manga between episode…
I couldn't agree more. Ryo's outstanding as Haijin. His acting is so authentic for the part, I never would've guessed he was so nervous in the role during S01! I can't believe he was so stressed that he cried! 😭
After viewing the first season, I checked out his profile on MDL and was sad to see that he doesn't yet have too many parts under his belt. He appears to have a very natural talent for acting; he makes it look so casual and fun on screen!
I'm glad he's been happy working on this project and wish him many more acting opportunities in the future. It would be wonderful to watch him grow as an actor and improve his craft.
He can only get better with time and with more experience, as well as with lots of love from his fans! He's not at all hard on the eyes either, wink wink. Thanks again for sharing and for spreading the love! ❤️
haha im here again... if anyone has twitter/x, my friend and i opened up an update acc for haijin's actor- we'll…
Ryo was literally made for this role. He's absolutely perfect as Haijin. I'm reading the manga between episode releases right now because I can't get enough of these two. The script, the scenes they chose, and the actors are just so spot on. They have the best comedic timing and chemistry together. I can't picture anyone else now but these two while reading.
I truly hope Ryo gets more projects because he's an amazing actor. Both leads are fabulous tbh. Someone needs to buy the show's casting director a coffee, LOL. Here's to the series getting lots of love so that we might get another season! Six episodes is simply not enough!
You're most welcome! The subs were pretty bad since they were auto-generated, but they were somewhat understandable based on what's happening in the show. TVer appears to be an official TV streaming site for the show in Japan, as it was suggested for viewing by the MBS Japan website. I also found the show on Hulu Japan but I don't have a membership/login for Hulu.
At any rate, those of us who are eager to watch should be able to watch the show for free on TVer with auto-generated English captions (which are better than nothing) as each episode gets released.
Then we just have to wait for someone who's capable to be so kind as to help with adequate subs... ❤
Found the below link to watch for free using my VPN with the region set to Japan. Had to answer three generalized questions (for tailored viewing preferences) to allow it to play. It asked for: DOB, gender, and zip code (I used the default zip code shown in the box).
I basically entered random responses, LOL. I am able to view the video using MS Edge as my browser which has an auto language translator built-in. Therefore, MS Edge is translating the Japanese language on the webpage as well as the Closed Captions (you have to turn them on in the player by clicking the CC button) for the video to English.
If you use a browser that translates webpage languages like Edge, you should be able to select the language you need the webpage and Closed Captions to be translated to (if something other than English) via your browser. It's not perfect and the subs are wonky because they are auto-generated, but it works for an initial viewing!
Many thanks in advance to anyone else who is able to watch the video using the below link for free and work on better Japanese to English subs! Link - https: //tver.jp/episodes/ep1ev341dp (enter the link without the space after the https:)
Additionally, Episode 01 of the series can also be viewed for free on this site by scrolling down on the webpage and selecting that episode. I hope this is helpful for everyone else dying to watch the strawberry scene like me! 🥰 😊
