It's scheduled to come out in September. Here's hoping nothing throws it off.

It's being advertised in a very het way, like the het love triangle, but I hope they get some side gay in there. It's a huge waste if they don't!

Wait, for real? I hope that wasn't a mistranslation or something and they're legit a romantic couple in this. I'm just surprised they didn't announce this project along with the other BLs, so I didn't want to get my hopes up. But now I'm extra eager.

Is this seriously just a recap? Would you miss anything by not watching it?

That's valid, but in comparison to other shows with even more annoying characters, I'm surprised it was rated lower. Maybe the usual crowd isn't watching this show. I suppose it's worth considering the types who are drawn to these themes too. Maybe the countless boring school dramas have higher scores because the people who gobble those up aren't as interested in something a little darker and more supernatural.

Why does this have the score that it does? So weird. Usually I can tell why something falls below the 8.0 range, but this time I'm at a loss. If it's in the upper 7 area, it's typically either an aimless mess or incredibly boring. Or both. But this show is neither. Otherwise I'd assume it was too much focus on het, or problematic content like homophobic stereotypes. But nope, nothing problematic, and the het is inoffensive (though pointless, why is that in almost every BL?).

The leads have issues but it's part of their growth as characters. The acting is strong, and the story is decent, if perhaps a little confusing and drawn out for the first half. Even if people find certain things annoying, it's weird to me that there are much more annoying programs out there with higher ratings. And when I say "much more annoying," I mean it objectively in that they get a lot of complaints from viewers.

Maybe too many people are like me and want to wait until it's done airing to avoid cliffhangers and a potential sad ending. But I saw a spoiler and figured I'd just catch up now, with the last two, stressful episodes ahead of me because I'm a genius. I guess if that's the case, the types who'd like the show may not have watched yet. At any rate, it deserves at least an 8.0, so I hope it goes back up. Usually the community is right about something under 8, and my exceptions to that rule are mostly still fairly judged due to being way too short and, thus, rushed. Not the case here. Even if you find it boring, it's much more interesting than a lot of what's out there. Maybe the hate is similar to Cutie Pie, where the show is actually perfectly enjoyable, but people were expecting something else? Though even as someone who loved Cutie Pie despite its flaws, I can say this show is probably a bit better overall.

I just want to know what it's about and if it's gay, lol.

Wtf, I swear I've seen her in other things besides Dear Doctor, but I haven't seen any of the stuff listed on her resume besides it. She's a really good actress, and she has a distinct appearance, so I feel like I can't be confusing her with someone else. But since I can't remember what the other thing was, maybe I am... If anyone sees this and knows of another BL she was in but isn't listed in for whatever reason, please let me know!

I do appreciate that you take the time to add all of these forgotten films, RandomUsagi, though it does make me sad that I'll never get a chance to watch any of them. I find the nature of them for the time period really fascinating. It's interesting to see so much depth and drama integrated into softcore erotica like that.

Wtf, why does it double-post my comments sometimes? It's been doing that a lot lately.

THANK YOU! It's such a pointless, lazy plot device. Also, I guess phones and email disappear if you're gay and have to be apart from one another, because we're not gonna talk even once in several years, but the moment we see each other again, we just pick up like nothing happened, making the time apart completely pointless anyway.

Aw, thanks for taking the time to comment! I do my best.

I asked them on their official instagram if there were any updates on this and was never given a reply. I'm sad to say, this is very likely to be canceled. I swear, every gritty and interesting concept has a huge chance of just never happening.

EDIT: Never mind, they just updated about it and claimed it's coming soon. We'll see.

Game On has been canceled for some time. Waiting for it to officially update with that, but it's definitely a waste.

I appreciate that these are being posted, because their strange and interesting, but now and then I kind of want to watch one and don't know how I can. Anyone know where I can find this? I feel like the title alone will make it hard for me to search for it, but given the age, I'm wondering if it's not even available digitally or with subs.

I hope he's gonna keep acting. It's been a while since he was in anything, but not so long that I can't still have hope.

Right, I saw the info for that one! I don't focus as much on Western stuff these days, but I've been meaning to try to get back into it. I think I've just felt spoiled with Eastern stuff, so it's hard to go back to the old form, lol.

I've seen that one. ^^ It was definitely cute.

It does, and I typically hate endings like that (time jump happy endings are my biggest BL pet peeve--they ruin great stories all the time), but it isn't so bad here because it starts with them in the future, so you get to see them reconnect before anything else happens. It was too short to really be what it could have been as a show, but the ending is happy.

Thank you for actually bothering to use a spoiler tag. So many people didn't.
