And then there's me, fascinated by the 360 cam as I check out Machida's living space, completely ignoring him flexing his guns.

i see a lil bit of jungkook from BTS, maybe some yamazaki kento at the right angles (i stumbled on a model shoot of his on youtube and thought it was yamazakis), and finally this one small role thai actor idk the name of. poor guy indeed, his identity doesn't belong to him lmao

ikr. less Japanese understanding fans are bl fans lol.

I noticed the height difference too when I watched the trailer lmao I was like, is Machida really supposed to be that much taller with a 3 cm difference? It's sus. After seeing other photos of the 4 cast in this drama, I've come to conclude that Machida might actually be 6'0", otherwise Yamazaki and Akaso are between 5'8" or 5'9".

Probably a right estimate at that tbh. I just saw another pic/clip of the 4 main cast standing next to each other and Machida looks the same height as Asaka, who's supposed to be 6'0".
My conclusion, Machida is around 6'0" and Akaso is around 5'9". Makes more sense than what Google says lol

nice analysis!

EXCUSE ME?! insert white guy blinking gif

Same. I feel like with the raws, if you watched enough Jdrama or anime or whatever with a lot of Japanese, the super basic words or statements you can make out and understand the gist of the conversations.

I thought they were both holding hands too but then it's only Kurosawa who brings his hand back. It looks like he was waiting but Akaso really couldn't be bothered to stay in character lolol But seriously I wonder if it's supposed to be like that or did Akaso forget to hold hands or did Machida do an ad-lib without consulting Akaso? Or what. But personally I find it a little funny. Both because it doesn't look planned but it also works well with Adachi's personality. Doubt the guy would be brave enough to hold hands in public.

So Google says Machida's height is 181 cm (5'11) and Akaso's is 178 cm (5'10). But in the drama it looks like there's at least 7 cm between them at times. So is Google wrong or is someone wearing insoles? lol the almost kiss scene in ep 3 gets me the most because I keep imagining Akaso bending his knees or Machida tiptoeing to create that height difference.

welp, time to start an account on Duolingo and learn some japanese lol
edit: well I just learned ichi, ni, san, yon and how to write them. I have now mastered Japanese.
edit 2: Was supposed to be learning Japanese but got sidetracked onto Chinese instead. Dui bu qi I betrayed you Cherry Magic lolol I'm bored, sorry guys

it's the contrast in the expressions that really get me.

oohhh that part? lol i'm thinking too narrow. i thought something was wrong with the chopsticks themselves, like being broken or having different chopsticks as a pair. but yeah, even then i just thought it's normal/part of the act that Machida did that. I guess it wasn't? ad-lib? idk. plus I was thinking i also do that, lick the chopsticks after dipping/touching it on food so it's normal for me to see Machida do that. I didn't even consider the implications that come along with it.

so i've seen people talk about the chopstick scene, but what does it imply/mean exactly? lol was there something wrong with Kurosawa or Adachi's chopsticks in ep 2? I didn't notice anything jarring.

Oh yeahhhh, that was pretty much a kabedon lolol. Albeit accidentally one. I was thinking of a more classic kabedon where the girl/person trapped, is trying to run away from a confrontation, and the guy/trapper stops them by slamming his hand to the wall. The elevator scene happened so quickly without that classic context so I kinda missed it as a kabedon. But yeah, if that's the kabedon they're referring to then that makes sense.

where art thou japanese bl fansubbers lol

Imoogi wants Yeon's body.................


so he's gay? LOLOLOL

okay i'm joking. but seriously. somehow this drama just feels flat. idk. im gonna sound like a parrot repeating after almost everyone but why is the brothership more interesting than the romantic relationship. i just don't feel it between Yeon and Jiah.

I'm rereading my comment and remembering the first episode. Thanks for notifying me to come over and having a good laugh at the memory of that cringey transformation.

Yep, no problem! I was also wondering the same thing about the kabedon. So far, we haven't seen any solid kabedon yet. Maybe it's in the unreleased upcoming episodes?
