Aww, that's sad, this drama is amazing! I'm so invested now, it's definitely not one that I would drop!

I know, right!? That almost never happens for me, but they're equally cute!

So, so true! He's definitely a more mature ML, feels like he's seen a lot. He was such a good choice for this role!

AND, is it really so hard to look someone in the eye and tell them point-blank to "stop interfering or I'll start hating you?" The SFL is very much a trope, the only really unpleasant one in the series.

Technically he said that with a 2 year age gap, it doesn't matter to adults. I've encountered enough people IRL with a bigger age-gap romance that has fallen to pieces so I don't hold out much hope for it in reality. ;)

Added Sapuri because the ML and FL just had polar opposite personalities, work ethic, lifestyles, etc. It was such a horrible match. I like Kazuya Kamenashi and it was still a horrible match.

Hana Yori Dango because I wouldn't have wished the ML on anyone. He's abusive and bullying and no amount of childhood trauma can excuse that. The victim becoming his girlfriend just struck me as so wrong.

For a country that shows the awful effects of bullying in dramas like this, they still have such a huge problem beating it. So sad.

Will definitely try it for Niu Jun Feng. He stole my heart in The Brightest Star in the Sky.

Disney loves digging its fingers into too many pies. They're nothing but a power-hungry machine now. This is just another example of that. Sorry to all the kdrama fans out there. I hope I'm wrong.

So stinking cute! Li Ge Yang is beyond adorable, even when he's a bit of a jerk! Amazon Prime has it for streaming with subs now, so awesome!

And 3rd episode, the same guy from the 1st episode was trying something with the FL and the ML comes to her rescue.

Completely agree, she's a pretty terrific character so far. Depending on what happens as the story progresses, she might end up being one of my favorite FL characters.

Same here, fingers crossed for a good ending.

Oh, was he? Hmmm, I really like Fair Xing a lot and was planning to watch My Little Happiness. Thanks for the heads' up, that might be too much kissing.

I agree with you too. I'm just enjoying the pacing of this drama regardless of whether there's ever any major kissing scenes or not. It's given me lots of laughs, the actors are all terrific, and kissing is not necessary for my enjoying it. Thanks for saying something! ❤️

Interesting. So because I mentioned "Second Love" as a Japanese mature drama option not just in reply to someone but also as an original comment, it got flagged for deletion? I'm going to give the reasoning the benefit of the doubt. So I'm going to say it again, "Second Love" is a terrific and short mature drama with Kazuya Kamenashi as the ML, showcasing his mad dancing skills that he's developed over years as an idol. It's also pretty sexy without being over-the-top mature.

That's understandable. And you're right, Japan does mature dramas like champs. I don't watch that many tbh, but if I want one, it's always going to be one from Japan.

It shouldn't really matter. He seems like an interesting actor whether he does intense kissing scenes or not.

Just for anyone who might be triggered, we've got some attempted sexual assault scenarios happening in episodes 1 and 3 (not from the ML).

Second Love (Japan) - an excellent vehicle for Kazuya Kamenashi that showcased the dancing skills he's honed for years as an idol.
