It's been a little while since I've felt this way watching a drama - I absolutely fell in love with this. I don't think it's perfect but it definitely gave me that heart racing feeling from start to finish. The cinematography is great, the story is a simple and straightforward romance plot, but it's very well executed. The lead actors were great and also had really good chemistry. I can't quite put my finger on why I love this drama so much, but it does give me this nostalgic feeling. Like this kind of drama is the reason why I love Japanese BL so much I've already watched this drama twice and just finished airing, that's how much I love it lol.
there is a sex scene but I don't remember which episode exactly, sorry. it's closer to the ending episodes though. (also sorry that person's response was pretty rude.)
A good movie. I enjoyed most of story and the acting was superb throughout. Kamenashi Kazuya pleasantly surprised me with how well he did in this roll. The ending was a bit meh for me, but I understood why they would go that direction. However I think if it ended differently it would've kept my heart racing with excitement and I probably would've given this film an even higher rating. To be honest, I felt this was pretty tame compared to some of Takeshi Miike's older works lol.
A simple love story with beautifully shot scenes. This is a short movie but it is pretty effective. Despite there not being much dialogue and the acting being just okay, the soundtrack accompanied by some very beautiful cinematography really helped to bring to life the overall emotion of the film. There are also some moments that felt pretty random but it helped to cut through some of the melancholy. There were also some moments I felt were there to just satisfy some kinda kink and honestly could've did without those lol - added nothing to the story lol. Overall, it's not the best movie but it did it's job at making me feel something, especially at the end.
Well... I've watch all three 😅. This one was better than the 2nd one, but that doesn't take much. This one has the same problems as the last, the writing is lackluster despite there being moments that are intense. The audio was horrific. It was obvious that for most of Ruka's scenes, it was dubbed over and was very distracting for me. I think where this story had the potential to be even better than the 2nd movie was if they would've focused on Ruka's plot which only got less than 10 mins at the very end. Considering that most of this movie's run time was flashbacks of things we've already seen before, they really should've focused on Riku and his plot because that would've been soooo interesting to follow. Overall, meh series. I don't mind dark and twisted but if it is, it better be interesting from start to finish. These movies weren't.
Okay, so it's been a little while since I've watched the first one and I don't remember hating it. This sequel... idk. Didn't really enjoy it. The dialogue was so clunky and cumbersome. I know the writing wasn't great in the first movie but this felt like it was dragging and not that interesting at all. Yet... I'm about to watch the 3rd movie 🙃🙈
This drama was such an easy watch. It's simple and pretty cute. It's not the most impressive drama, it hits classic tropes that you either learn to accept by now when watching BL/romances or it will irritate you. The dialogue was okay throughout - writers definitely kept it very very simple. The actors are cute together but honestly, I won't remember this drama a month from now. But I do appreciate it how easy and cute of a watch it was.
I was actually a bit scared to watch this drama. I've seen the two leads in one other drama and I wasn't impressed with their acting despite them having good chemistry. But in this drama, they both had pretty solid performances. And the drama itself is solid as well. I was interested from start to finish. I was actually watching two other dramas when I started this one and this one easily kept me the most interested. I don't think the story is perfect. The writing isn't that much of a standout. But it is still a simple, easy and enjoyable watch. And the chemistry between all the actors is great and will keep you watching. Overall, this drama surprised me and I'm glad I watched it. I just know Nat is growing as an actor and I'm excited to see how he does.
Was looking for something simple and cute. This is definitely simple and cute but wasn't as enjoyable as I wanted it to be. Acting from the main two actors was a little uncomfortable to watch. The story overall was a bit lackluster I'm execution, definitely started to lose interest and skipped over many scenes because they felt like they weren't gonna add anything to the story... and they didn't. One of the positives I do have is that the NC scenes are good lol. Overall, it was just an okay drama. I'm not gonna remember it a week from now.
It's been a little while since I've seen a drama this good. The story is simple but the execution is done so beautifully. From the very first episode I was completely drawn in and didn't want to stop watching. The actors across the board were great. There were some things I had very slight issues with but nothing big enough to ruin the overall feel this drama gives you. Very good drama.
If anyone knows any others that are as good as this, please recommend!
I love the messages this drama has and I also love the actors, they were all great. However, I think this drama has the potential to be even better. For me, it kind of felt like its pacing was a bit to slow and because of that it didn't grab my attention as much as it could and should have. Also, I'm not sure if it's because of the translation or not, but the dialogue didn't feel like it flowed most times. But it's still a decent watch.
Absolutely agree! I am on episode 10 and usually I don't skip, but with this one it does happen a lot. There are…
You said everything I was thinking. Yes! I just watched the trailer for My Stand-in the other day. I'm excited to see Up in another BL role. I will definitely watch the entire series all at once when it finishes airing!
Was an overall okay drama. It has a lot of potential to be great if only the dialogue felt a little more natural, the editing a bit cleaner and directing more solid. It has an interesting plot but it dragged a little in some areas and took me out of the story. Definitely not a bad drama, it's just not gonna be one of those dramas I remember months from now.
