I love how this is 24 episodes but Wu Suowei pretty much has Chi Cheng wrapped around his little finger by the 2nd episode.

In certain scenes, from certain angles, it's actually uncanny!

I'm not expecting a happy ending, either. I think the official Netflix summary mentions the word "Tragedy." I don't even necessarily need a happy ending for it to be good. All I'm asking for is a real love story and not just one of them having a crush on the other 😭

I stg if this turns out to be unrequited love while I've been waiting for it since the beginning of time...

Not related to the plot, but that is the best located school I have ever seen. I don't blame them sneaking up to that rooftop every day, that view of the ocean is insane.

Only until the end of the year as I understand it?

The relationship between the two mains is so admirable, honestly. They communicate, they're honest, they apologize for their mistakes, they learn from their mistakes... I'm kind of amazed. But let's see how long it lasts lol.

Same. I can't stand the music that appears whenever they have a s*xy scene and the acting is not always great... But the leads sure have chemistry.

^ My issue exactly! There is nothing wrong with their chemistry and they are adorable, but the unresolved tension should have lasted longer considering there's 12 episodes...

The rating can also be because of the story which I find kind of intriguing...

I'll agree, the acting is not amazing... But it's not terrible, either. It simply shines through that this is a series that has a lot of first-time actors in it. But I think there's definitely potential for improvement.

@Tom Good point. I've been mystified many times before by Netflix's {lack of} promotion

To be fair, they did give us a teaser. It was included on the "Next on Netflix 2025 Japan" trailer. It only lasts about 10 seconds but at least we have proof they actually shot it lol

Ok I'm officially deleting this from my To Watch list so I don't get sad every time I see it lol. My hope is dead.

@Jojo Oh, I completely agree. I didn't mean my comment as a criticism of the scene because I think it worked very effectively. It was very brutal but I think it made them able to express their feelings way better than they could have with words.

@apathy Couldn't have said it better! Even if I was shocked by the concept of break-up sex, I didn't find it unrealistic in the situation. It worked, I think, because it was pretty effective in showing what the characters were feeling.

@apathy Oh, totally. Maybe Jin thought he could get Akin to change his mind? But then, the sex seemed kind of angry. The situation is so unlike anything I've seen before, and kind of absurd, but they still managed to make it kind of romantic. Probably because the actors are so good. I'm angry about that lol

Breaking up with somebody and telling them "I'll stay with you tonight, for the last time" is all kinds of new levels of messed up. Felt like a stab in the heart to even watch it. And to have it come from Akin who to me is the personification of a puppy.

So, on Danish netflix this is tagged as LGBTQ but also "Brotherhood." It probably means nothing but it still kind of worries me. I'm thinking about the possibility of this being a bromance with maybe one of the characters being not straight which is why they could promote it as LGBT...

God bless Matsuda for continuing to do niche gay projects (where the gay part is just a side note but it's more than ambiguous). Love him

Not to be greedy but I think it's about time we get another update on this. Anything small, even a poster will do. I need something to get me through the wait 😭
