You're right, they could be genderqueer. It'd be nice if that could be specified instead of using the term crossdresser. I'd love more non-binary rep from Japan since genderless/androgynous self-presentation is becoming more popular in Japanese media.

Episode 7 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 focused more on the main leads. Loved it. Waiting for the subs of ep 8 but at the same time don't want it to be over so soon. Japan has been releasing so many good series lately! It's as if they're finally spoiling us after subjecting us to questionable/problematic/cringy bls of early 2000s haha.

Episode 4 was SO STRONG: I loved the conflict with Masumi's mother, etc. And then came episode 5,,, which completely changed the vibe of the show?? I do like Meguru's character (although cross-dresser trope is overdone, so trans rep would fit this show better in my opinion), but I prefered the serious tone before all the funny/over-the-top Yuma scenes occured. My hopes are still high for this series, so awaiting subs for episode 6.

Brb, crying happy tears.

I loved episode 3 so much. Was smiling throughout, until the ending killed my smile. Can't wait to see how they'll wrap up the season. 4 episodes just isn't enough!!o(╥﹏╥) Every single comment has already stated and over-analysed everything I planned to state, so I'm not gonna add more to my comment ahaha.

PREACH! Their relationship works because they both (no matter how much Kiyoi denies it) crave to continue the king-servant dynamic, but it's also wavering because they both take it to the extremes. They're just a puppy-love/lust couple not ready for a relationship. Therapy for both, please! I love them ('cause I can see where they're coming from).

This movie made me smile throughout, have second-hand embarrassment when the protagonist was learning to draw, and even tear up at how wholesome her first story was. Reminded me of when I used to make tiny mangas in school notebooks. I wish every child a supportive adult friend they can be themselves with. So heartwarming :')

Yes, I understand that feeling as well. But I also think that she thought it's unfair because everyone around her seems to be unashamed of their love for BL while she still can't be open about it (as we see her hiding manga in public and around her friend throughout the 1st part of the movie).

P.S. I'm not saying I don't love the slow-paced (realistic) character progression: I thrive on it! But what's scary is that we only have 2 more episodes to go and I hope they don't feel rushed ;-;

I will always love how despite Kiyoi's inability to not be a tsundere, he is trying his hardest to not let their relationship dynamic turn toxic. At the same time, what would 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 help Hira's self esteem issues is a good therapist <3 I hope in the remaining 2 episodes (and the promised movie) the characters show significant development. I loved their chaotic beginning, but now I just want to see them become a wholesome couple.

I love this comment - I had the EXACT thought 🖐🏻😭

You know a show left no impact on you whatsoever when you completely forget the plot and don't know what to rate it. I know I watched it, but it's not on my 'completed series' list. Apparently I didn't even bother adding it lmao.

Even though they're both emotionally constipated, and I really don't like the plot conflict being "miscommunication" (or lack of communication), and I'd love nothing more than for episode 7 to be replaced completely.... I still enjoyed watching this even through episode 7&8 frustration. It's a 6.5 for me. Had SO much potential 😔✨

Compared to previous episodes,,, episode 7 was pretty underwhelming. I'm still rooting for this show, so hopefully episode 8 will not disappoint.

Just commenting on here to say that I liked this wholesome show (a 7.5 for me) and waiting for SnowRegret to tell me why I'm wrong and need to go rot in a ditch for my opinion lmao

The people complaining that the relationship isn't "mature".... Do y'all just watch BL to see men **** each other? I just think since it's Seung Hyun's first ever relationship, it is expected of him to be all star-eyed and flustered. Heck, I have experience and I still become flustered on dates. I find the couple really wholesome, and their relationship is portrayed as healthy - no one is forcing the other into things they're not comfortable with (which is such a breath of fresh air). Episode 6 was much needed fluff after the short-lived drama of the previous episode. Hopefully it continues in this manner until the end. As for intimacy, maybe the leads are not very comfortable with intense intimate scenes, even if it's to pacify some of the fujyoshi/fudanshi who want that.

I thought the drama of episode 5 would be dragged out as always, but they actually communicated and resolved it?? Kim Jong Chan really said, "I don't understand you because the issue seems trivial to me, but I will learn to understand you, 'cause for you the issue is a problem you held on to for a long time". We love it here.

This is a show that doesn't need a season 2, but I would happily binge if they ever make one. Loved it.

It's so cringy that the fact of it being anti-climatic is washed over by second-hand embarrassment. Nothing progresses and there's no real plot, but the made-up medical conditions of the protag did make me chuckle a bit. It's a good watch to spend some mindless time - and to think to youself - "Yes, I do binge bl&gl, but at least I'm not this degenerate" 😂 5/10 but in a positive, no hate no love way. Give it a watch and judge for yourself lmao

After episode 3, I had to watch it on 1.5x speed. No matter how cringe Dennis was, at least he was interesting and his character wasn't as stale. It's not bad..... just not good. I think it's just enough to watch episode 1, 2 and 10 (my opinion, don't attack me please). Nothing against the actors, they just don't have chemistry and the intimacy feels forced. Their eyes don't communicate. Plot wise it's unoriginal and weak. A 5/10 with no rewatch or recommendation value. Still hyped for the next episode of "The new employee" hehe.
