1. I hope Guy doesn't get captured because I can't handle his pained expressions. When his features scrunch up in agony, it's just too much for me.
2. I'd love to see Guy and Tew's gaming buddies team up in real life to help Tew exit the gang life. It would be great to see each of them display their gaming skills in the real world, breaking through the encirclement, especially Phai. I'm picturing her in a leather jacket, riding a heavy bike, pulling a U-turn, and delivering a flying kick to the villains.
3. I'm also hoping Wahl joins the fight. Oh, I still want to give this guy a chance to turn into a hero.
4. As for Kenji, this guy will probably continue to be a thorn in Tew's side! But he seems more like a harmless character. (Is he wearing eye makeup, by the way?)
The story in question is "Jugemu," a humorous tale commonly told in rakugo, a form of traditional Japanese verbal entertainment. The name "Jugemu" itself means "limitless life," symbolizing a wish for endless health and prosperity. The tale revolves around a boy whose parents gave him an exceptionally long name, combining many auspicious and positive terms, to express their wishes for him. This name includes phrases like "Gokou-no-surikire," which suggests durability and resilience, and "Kaijari-sugama," a prayer for good health.
In the series "One Room Angel," the character Koki encounters a username "tks_jugem2," which references the "Jugemu" story. He correctly guesses the password "gokounosurikire," a segment of the lengthy name from the folktale. This element of the show cleverly integrates a piece of traditional Japanese culture into its modern storyline, showing how these enduring tales continue to influence and enrich contemporary storytelling.
'My Dear Gangster Oppa' really grew on me, like a fun fungus. Episode 4? Mind-blowing!
Tew and Guy's heart-to-heart, now that's some rare, genuine communication in Asian BL, and early in the series, no less! I've always been a fan of the pacing in the first three episodes – no dragging, just action. And Episode 4? It laid out Tew's backstory like a red carpet. Teen Tew? Even more charming. I'm all about his natural bangs and those adorably chubby cheeks. (How is Meen getting more lovable by the minute?!)
I was over the moon when my first episode prediction came true – I said Tew fell for Guy at first sight, and bam! In Episode 4, Tew admits it. Thai BL leads are finally ditching the cheesy 'Can I pursue you?' line for something more confident like Tew's 'Guy likes me, just as I liked you from the first glance.' Yeah, I'm Team Tew now.
And one of my wishes came true – Wahl punches Tew! No full-on brawl, but that scene? Pure genius in showing Tew's wit, realizing Guy wasn't in the room.
My only tiny letdown? Tew planning to leave the underworld. I mean, come on, talk about a cliché plot twist! Fingers crossed Episode 5 and beyond don't disappoint.
My first impression? The plot’s depth is shallower than a kiddie pool compared to its steamy scenes. If episode 2 doesn’t add some psychological meat and tighten up the storyline, it’ll be famous for all the wrong reasons – like being a muscle and nudity fest.
The music and dubbing? Cringe-worthy, like a low-budget adult movie. And that Japanese dubbing segment? A disasterpiece. I’m tempted to play it for my colleagues in Tokyo just for kicks. It’s like Hollywood’s take on Asia – if by ‘take’ you mean ‘miscast’.
And a bathtub in a garden with fake flowers? I can’t fathom the artistic genius behind it, really.
