I loved the moment between Wut and Joe as well. It was like Joe was coming home 😭Also found it really good…
I felt the same way! The reunion between Joe and Wut was like Joe coming home, and it was so touching 😭. Ming's meditation scene was also great—watching him slow down and sort through his thoughts added so much depth to his character.
The most heartwarming moment in this episode was when Joe and Wut reunited. Watching Wut go from wanting to punch Joe to embracing him was such a powerful display of their brotherly love. It genuinely brought tears to my eyes.
Ming's struggle with anxiety and inner conflict was so palpable. At first, he couldn't handle the master's suggestion to meditate together. But by the second attempt, he was meditating on a branch, wearing that striking Marc Jacobs Monogram hoodie. Up's portrayal of Ming was spot-on. The intricate typography of the hoodie seemed to perfectly capture Ming's inner turmoil, adding a powerful visual punch to the scene.
Anybody understands the plot for 'Hire no Yume'? The BL drama that Yuki and Hayama are making in here. I don't…
Actually, the story within the BL manga ‘25 Ji, Akasaka de’ (At 25:00 in Akasaka) is called ‘Hiru no Yume’ (Afternoon Dreams), not ‘Hire no Yume’ (Fin Dream). It looks like there was a mix-up with the title.
In ‘Hiru no Yume,’ Yuki plays a waiter, but the details of this fictional BL drama aren’t really fleshed out. It’s more of a backdrop that highlights and reflects the relationship between Yuki and Hayama, both on and off the screen. The plot of ‘Hiru no Yume’ is kept pretty abstract, fitting the artistic and metaphorical style typical of BL dramas.
So while we know Yuki’s role, the actual story of ‘Hiru no Yume’ remains a bit of a mystery and is mainly used to enhance the main story’s themes and character dynamics.
For once, I won't agree with you. I'm so hate watching it, I just don't want to drop it. I won't even rate it…
Haha, that's fair! Sometimes a show can be a bit like a train wreck—it's hard to look away even when you're not enjoying it. Maybe the next episode will change your mind... or at least give us more to rant about! 😂
Totally agree with the cross cuttingI really liked that too
Absolutely! The cross-cutting really added a layer of depth and tension to the episode. It was such a clever way to highlight the connection between the characters. Glad you enjoyed it too!
When I say this episode almost took me out. I am not joking. I was wheezing throughout this episode 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha, same here! This episode had me in stitches too. The unhinged moments and unexpected twists were just too much. Glad to know I wasn't the only one wheezing with laughter! 🤣🤣🤣
Although the subtitles made me cringe at times, I really appreciated the filming techniques.
In Episode 9, right after it starts, there’s a powerful scene where Hayama leaves Shirasaki’s place and heads home. The absence of background music, with just the cold, quiet night sounds and his monologue, is incredibly impactful.
Later, the director brilliantly uses cross-cutting to show both characters in different places, building tension and seamlessly connecting their stories. At one point, even though they are in different locations, they appear in the same frame, emphasizing their bond. Then, suddenly, the scene jumps to the film set.
This kind of innovative editing is rare in BL dramas and truly stands out. It’s a great reminder of how thoughtful direction and editing can elevate storytelling, making the episode even more engaging and memorable.
