First, I'm feel funny. That's easiest and common feeling to have for short series. Then, I'm feel Yoon Su got bullied. But from then, everything just escalated to something that I didn't expect for short series especially 'those scenes'. Even some full series didn't have that. Feel like POV of Yoon Su when he watch 'that kind of stuff' from his phone and laptop. I think it's worth to watch. At first just want to give 7.0, but feel it's okay for 7.5 as well. For improvements, I think they should add more expressions, either facial or tonal. But more than that, really recommending for at least another one episode, just to show finally Yoon Su move out and stay together with Ha Jin. I think that's good conclusion for the show.
I'm among viewers who gave S1 full ratings 10/10. As this S2, the most honest I could give was 8/10. For ep. 1 to 6, not bad, but feel just too day-to-day, routines scenes and too focus on their career than relationship. For some, it's realistic, but as a show, I think should be entertaining. During airing of those episodes, feel like dragging my feet to keep going. I didn't know how much other viewers "fallen" between ep.1 to 6, unable to continue. But good side of ep.1 to 6 showed their supportiveness to each other in countering every challange of their career. For me, this S2 start from ep.7 and above. From there, dynamics of the story just get interesting, focus again on their relationship, not on the sideline. Feel delighted as this S2 seem make a comeback from there, last 4 episodes showed Touma and Natsume familiar characters, just like S1. Presence of Touma's dad and brother really enhancing plots there. Overall, S2 still a good show. If I could give a suggestion, those career centric scenes from ep. 1 to 6 limited to 2-3 episodes only, will be better and later make it as a background or sidelines scenes only, just like ep.7 and above. As a subtitute, they could make Riku closeness to Natsume (due to unconfident as the beginning of Riku's career) be misunderstood to Touma. Well, as mention previously, I even hope Harukawa still there for this S2. I will give 8.5 if he's there. I assumed Riku as a spiritual successor to Harukawa. Actually I didn't expect for S2, but it's good to have it. If they think about S3, if any, hope they will take ep.7 and above as a reference and foundation. That's all my cents.
I think this is the most "JDM" from all Japanese series that I ever watch until now. While the story is simple, but storytelling's elements and contexts there can be quite challenging to be understand especially for international viewers. Hard to find good translation also could excerbating the situation. All those deliquents culture, Japanese history and literature, might consume a bit of focus and energy to understand. As for comedic elements, I think this is unique to this series despite it's hit and miss for me. It's hit especially Toru's monoloque voice when encountered Kishi, I like the tone of his voice there. But it's miss especially when Toru and his gang's exaggerated actions and talks whenever it's related with deliquency. It's not bad, but a bit confusing to understand. I even think those deliquencies things are the hardest to understand. About Japanese history and literature, I'm learned a bit back in my school time, so I got a bit of the idea of those things. Overall, it's decent series. Interactions between Toru and Kishi either during or outside tutor sessions are the precious and main focus of this series. I'm waiting for special episode(s) if any. This is second series played by Tanaka Koki for me, first one is Sugar Dog Life. I'm also surprised that Toru is him as I unable to realised it beforehand. This also first series played by Rei Sawamura for me. I think for quite a long time, whenever I hear his voice, will associated him with Kishi Naito.
Did they set ep.3 just for member? So how I could complete this show? I thought that's their pattern, but I saw…
Thanks to all replies of clarifications. I'm never experiencing these as most of time, those short web series shows already ended for a some time before I get know about it. This is first time when it's still ongoing.
This just 17 minutes but I'm experiencing waves of emotions, from shock to excited, then sad and finally relief. I think if they make it 30 minutes, story plots will be better especially during Riku and his mom talk to each other, revealing relationship. I think excitement and nervousness could be add there. Also, can add some flashback at the early of the show, like when Keita confess to Riku, giving audiences some clue that they already in relationship because I'm clueless for a while that they already in relationship since the beginning. Overall, I think this show is good.
I'm assuming ep.7 last week as a transition for more balanced story plot. Ep. 8 this week make excitement return for the series. Hope the last two episodes will be great.
i think they will probably release it after some days/a week
Hopefully like that. I'm feel bizarre as never encounter any situation like this. If membership for entire series or only ep.1 with general availability, that's still common.
Did they set ep.3 just for member? So how I could complete this show? I thought that's their pattern, but I saw they didn't do that for previous series, just for uncut version, that's okay. Didn't feel necessary to become member just for 8 minutes single episode. Now I'm stuck unable to complete it. Maybe will move to on-hold until any other resource available.
I'm curious about high rating of this series as it's still in my plan to watch list. Quite hesitate to start as last time watch full fledge Thai BL series was TharnType, back to 2019. I'm still 20's back then, still high in energy and excitement to consume full fledge series. Now in 30's, feel partially retired. Haha! Will watch it later when ready. But first to thanks Thi Thirati (Tong) as I'm learn about this series through him.
Scrolling YT at 3.30 AM and found Be Mine, heard it... just so nostalgic. Already 7 years but still fresh in my mind. I think will just remain my profile pic. like this. Haha!
I think this series like a sandwich at convenience store, it's simple, light, fast and easy to consume. Perfect as an interlude show while waiting for next episode of the main series or as a "detox" if the main series just too intense or complicated. Pace of plots and storyline also good despite very short time frame, didn't feel "jumping" that create confusion and no unecessary scene too. Perfectly packed within compact space. There are no any plot twist or surprise, but that's the strength, just evoking calmness. Overall, it's good, proving that short series also can be done decently.
Ep. 7 is a sigh of relief for me. Bright and shine as their summer vacation, it's like myself joining them as well. Finally, there are episode that didn't have intense about works and more focus on their relationship, make me realize that this is still BL series.
Know about this series from IG which many says this series very underrated. I didn't know as not watch it yet. But when looking at my watchlist, there are only two series from Taiwan, both from History franchise, back to 2018 and 2019. That make me curious is that many Taiwanese series actually underrated or it's just for me only? Btw, I'm keen to watch this, finally third Taiwanese series after 7 years. Will give my review later.
I think should give "warning" here that this series unsuitable for sophisticated and high expectations viewers.
I'm also watching Thai's series from small studios, you know; with very amateur actors, production and storylines, I think this series show me (maybe) the Korean's version, but still not even comparable. If I could conclude in a sentence for this series: it's funny, confused and so sudden, all at the same time.
Well, as other viewers, I'm no longer care about storylines and plots, everything just look funny. They meet for the first time in an undesirable situation, then expect for a profesional interview session, yet become like very "domestic couple" in no time. Also in no time, Jaeyeon become most trusted person to Geonwoo. I thought Geonwoo is an arrogant and closed personality, but those characters seem melting faster than ice cube during hot sunny day.
But the funniest part is when Geonwoo got stabbed (don't know the motive), yet out of no time as well, he's just like suffered small wound or bruist. I mean, he got stabbled, not accidently cut his finger by knife while cooking! Like by using Handiplast, everything just fine. No doctor, no hospital. I'm utterly speechless, so confused but later feel funny as well. But... only to be found later on IG that Geonwoo faked his injury to pull Jaeyeon closer to him. I mean, I'm never encounter this kind of show which reference to other platform almost compulsary needs just to understand the storyline.
But whatever I'm say here, all in positive vibe. No hard critics. If this series around 20-30 minutes per episode, then I think will be better or at least decent. With just around 5-10 minutes and 6 episodes, I'm strunggling to understand "what's actually happened", need to make up my own stories in my imagination to bridging those scenes.
But on other side, I think, there are still potential especially for the casts. I think almost all of them are good looking, acting skill not bad, not stiff or awkward at least. I even think Chan Kyu able potrayed Jaeyeon's character with "wifeyable" gestures. But what they just need a good story. Even if they get supportive roles in other good series, already a good start for them.
Wish the best for them, hope they will get another opportunities to show and develop their talents.
I'm still can't move on from this series, like thinking about it everyday, sometimes smiling to myself. My social media timelines and feeds also didn't help much, just keep reminding me about them. I like the ideas there about to "pairing" other members of Big Four, mainly between Hotta and Nakasato but some prefer Morisaki and Nakasato. Well, I can go with any pairing, whoever left can be pair with Tsujitani 😂.
Although I'm remain cautiously optimistic, but looking at social media enggagement, I think they should seriously consider for S2 or at least spin-off.
This series stay more than a year in my "Plan to Watch" list, since 2024, around the same time (back then still airing) Sugar Dog Life. Just finish high rating series "School Trip: Joined a Group That I'm Not Close To", so I'm afraid this Perfect Propose will be just okay or at most, decent series. Already think I will just rating this series around 7.5 to 8.0, that's middle lower rating for my scale. So last night, in effort to make my "Plan to Watch" list shorter, finally pick up this series to be put in "Currently Watching" list and by today, I'm done. Suprisingly... it's good. Now questioning myself why not watch this series earlier. It's straight forward, easy to digest, not heavy and I think problems there related with many people in reality (including me). This series might not gain higher rating due to simplicity and short story, but that characteristics also make this series easy to rewatch. I'm really appreaciate it and suitable with my preference nowadays. With overall rating now at 7.7, for me it's a bit underrated. I think should at least 8.0. As for myself, I give it 9.0, middle upper of my scale.
ABOUT 2ND SEASONI'm cautiously optimistic. Glad to have but some say, there are "curse" of sequel or 2nd…
I think there are optional enhancement could be made especially the scene when Ryoto (Morisaki's brother) teasing Hioki by pretending to kidnap him. Hioki expression and reaction, while panic already there, I think if he's really cry or begging for his life, make the scene much more realistic. I mean, in reality, people will either fight (I didn't expect Hioki to do that) or begging for their life. Then, when he sense there are no more hope, then ask to call his family. That will make him look more vulnerable and fragile rather than accepted his fate being kinapped and has his life ended by the villain. As a result, maybe much dramatic scene for Watarai as well. But of course, I'm understand they got limited airing time so those kind of elaborate scene might be difficult to be fit in the time frame.
I think it's worth to watch. At first just want to give 7.0, but feel it's okay for 7.5 as well. For improvements, I think they should add more expressions, either facial or tonal.
