REVIEWFinally, I'm done. Just accidently know this series last Thursday, simply could finish it in a day, but…
ABOUT 2ND SEASON I'm cautiously optimistic. Glad to have but some say, there are "curse" of sequel or 2nd season. I think, they have reasons as for myself, never watch if available, 2nd or sequel season of any series, except Cosmetic Playlover (that also with "average" 2nd season but I'm still okay as of ep.5 now). As this School Trip already set the high bar, will be challenging for themselves to meet same or even higher expectations.
My opinion, in any series, that's because storylines of every efforts to start and build relationship, puzzle and denial of feelings, curiousity between characters, panic of revelations, and finally "officially together" already done on the 1st season. Thus, they may hard to find or get good storylines for the sequel. Either will be too plain or too heavy with conflicts.
But I see there are some potential storylines for 2nd season. I saw suggestion 2nd season for their university time. That's reasonable and maybe... for their "first time". I mean, that could be more proper timing, right? Haha!
As I was informed, this series based on the novel. If there are stories in the novel that still didn't cover in the series, significant and good enough for 2nd season, that's all right. If not, then suggestion for their university time just good. Aside that, they may insert about relationship or love stories of other members of "Big Four", kinda spin-off like that. Well, I'm not a fan of this path because for me, for any series, the main pair always the main face of the series, regardless of season. But as an insert or side story, could give exception as I feel there are potential for other members. If not, why they are called "Big Four", right?
I'm more than glad and happy to watch it especially if they "strike it well" with excellent storylines. Really hope if there are 2nd season, they will, with full of miracle, able not to entagled with 2nd season "curse".
Sorry for long writing, but that's mean, I'm feel so good with this series.
REVIEW Finally, I'm done. Just accidently know this series last Thursday, simply could finish it in a day, but when I enter 'reserve' mood, that's meaning the series just so good for me, don't want it finish so fast. I should thanks YT feeds and Kodai (Hioki) face in the preview, basically many series I watched, many due to attraction from the "submissive character" of the series (I don't know why! 😂)
Just budle my review together here with After Story episodes (I'm consider as ep. 11 and 12). This is the first series that I rate before I'm done watch it, since ep.7. Gladly, feel no need to alter my 10/10 ratings. The series in line with my taste right now. Storylines are simple but interesting, that's really good for casual show and audiences. Simply could watch it over and over again without feeling "heavy". It's fresh, airy, light, bright, conflictless, overly cute and specific for this series, slow burning sensation of love. I think this is the first series I'm feel like that. There are some emotional scenes but it's okay and understandable.
My favourite part when they kissing, I like to see Hioki's Adam's apple moving up and down. I'm sorry for that, know it's weird but couldn't help myself 🙏
Couldn't agree more with other users by giving high rate for this series. The OST (opening and closing) also good, worth to be in my playlist. Kudos to all parties involved in this series.
Ohh... just visit here again after many years. Watch it when it still with "airing" status. So nostalgic. Already 9 years ago. It's my 1st series and the only 2 Moons that I recognized.
Accidently found this on YT feeds, barely look at the preview, somehow just watch it, look if I will like it, and... the rest is history. 1st ep already make my feelings overwelmed. Although still ongoing with ep.3, I can see 5 stars rating from me, save there are same overly cuteness, brightness and lightness as ep 1 to 3. Look at overall rating 8.7 from other users, I think this drama deserve it, or even higher.
I just realized that Toru actually Tanaka Koki which I know him from Sugar Dog Life as Isumi! I'm unable to recognize it until look at the cast list here.
Ep. 1 quite good, I like free conflict episode or even the whole series 😆. But deep in my heart, hoping there are still cutie clumsy Harukawa in this season 2. But it seems not like that so... I will miss him and that may affect my rating for this season a bit.
Already a year since last time watch series (but years for Thai series). Assume retired but found the actor TK promoting this series on the streets, so I will make an exception exit for a while from my retirement. Haha! But the official platform available for me just their studio's YT channel which complete with English subs but still up until ep. 1 only right now.
After 2-3 years of hiatus, I think already retired from watching bl series. But this series make me come back. As a simple, easy, conflictless and adorable series, ticks all the boxes of my criteria. Could become my series of the year. As a straight foward storyline, series version lighter than manga version which is hotter and badass, may didn't suitable for sophisticated audiences but really going well with easy going viewers or as a light entertainment.
As mentioned, it's 10/10 from me and hope the series will reach at least 8.0 for overall rating. It's my first JBL series although second to completed. Now need to figure out which series need to watch next. Found some series I think with the same vibes as Sugar Dog. Just need to balance it with my assignments. Hope you guys enjoy watching the series and give it high ratings.
Although I know I will rate this series 10/10, but will wait until final episode done so can feel "properly assessing" the series. Hope could see it reach at least 8.0 later.
I could not stressed enough how I like this show. Even just raw episode, able to make me giggling, much meaningful after a very stressful day. Hope subtitles will available soon.
This is your first completed JBL because you tried a couple and didn't finish or you are not a fan of JBL? Anyways,…
I will try to look on those series. While Cherry Magic already in my plan to watch list but looking to have proper time to watch it. Thanks for your suggestion.
Still looking for ep.6 with substitles. Only watched raw episode, barely understand but visual pleasing as usual as Sugar Dog's previous episodes. How I'm hoping to understand Japanese (same feeling hoping to understand Thai when watch their series) while even for English, still a lot to improve. Haha!
This is your first completed JBL because you tried a couple and didn't finish or you are not a fan of JBL? Anyways,…
Yes, first completed JBL. The 1st one is Sugar Dog but still ongoing. Previously more to Thai series. But as I'm getting older, looking for straight foward, conflictless and easy to watch show, thus expanding my search to Japanese and Korean series. For the couple, I'm okay... Can give 4/5. Maybe their characters are cold hearted and stubborn, I even imagine there are another extra character that able to talk to them directly, figure out about their attitude especially to Mamiya. But as themselves, I'm happy they appears a lot on my social media, give likes and following them. Haha!
Watch this while waiting for next episode of Sugar Dog Life. Rare to do so as there are tendency to direct comparing to each other. As Sugar Dog Life almost free of conflict (as of ep.5), I'm glad Cosmetic Playover not that too heavy in conflicts. The most for me just between Mamiya and Kakizaki. Also glad every conflict solved in time, not dragged unnecessarily and later hastily to solve it on final episode.
But my biggest hope for extra episode like spin-off for Harukawa. I'm even feel pity when he leave after Sahashi arrived at the festival. He's so nice and hoping for better story for him. Somehow feel most pleased character in the series. They also make a good selection of actor for Harukawa's character.
As for 1st completed Japanese bl series for me, it's nice. Theme also something that unusual for me (male BA) which give new perspective on that career to me. Adding more like romantic scenes can be helpful to enhance their chemistry and togetherness as main characters (Sahashi and Mamiya) are basically cold hearted and stubborn respectively.
Overall, if you just want something to watch or favour for easy and simple show like me, it's a good show.
My 1st bl series from Korea. Knows this series 2-3 years ago but stuck at ep. 3-4 then forgot to continue. Now able to completed the show, I think maybe extra 1-2 episodes can make this series better. For me, acting quality is the best. There are movie version which I think better form of the show as each episode just around 10-15 minutes but I'm unable to find it. Otherwise, maybe already able to complete the show years ago. As a simple, light and interlude show, this series is good.
I see rating up a bit after ep. 7. Found many good comments too. Should I just watch start from ep. 7? Haha! I'm never do like that with any other series. Plus I heard only start from ep. 7 KlaNo scenes become prominent than previous 6 episodes. Maybe will wait until the end of the series. Look how next 6 episodes will go.
Finally ep 6 is bringing things back on track and how we were left back in S1 , Ae is no longer on full on break…
Reading your comment about KlaNo make me think "did the only chance for me to start watching this S2 already diminish?". I'm reading comments here searching for KlaNo's highlights.
