nero truong i made a joke about susumu & yamapi fake+fighting just for susumu to actually punch tsuyoshi but then they reveal yamapi accidentally really punching susumu jeimwfijweekje. i adore reiko’s character a lot. there’s not a moment where you can’t empathize with her. she feels a pain so many other vilified characters do & she was able to express it ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ susumu was also wrapped up really well. i can get behind his change in that one conversation with the divorce counselor. this was a good ending ，i also think it was clever. having reiko step onto the set & react exactly like drama fans would when tsuyoshi is still running with his tail between his legs. they drew it out perfectly though. each missed connection had to happen ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ this was a great watch. tsuyoshi had an interesting journey of defeat & misery that I’bve never seen depicted so well. this was a truly romantic experience. i loved this drama a lot.

Gris Olive I give it a 10 because it presented us with the pain of a forbidden love at that time, but quite common in other times. They played dangerously and ended up paying the consequences of their actions. Personally, they could have created a redemption arc where they both pretend to be dead and live happily ever after in another world.

I still feel sorry for both of them; if only their wishes were fulfilled, there wouldn't be so many people involved.

She played a game that even she couldn't escape; the desire to love from a young age continued to gnaw at her.

Everyone still shines here; I know you didn't like it because there weren't any scenes, but personally I liked that they used ambiguity.

Who will be the cat, who will be the mouse? This game will be so dangerous, and how beautiful it was that both gave us such good performances.

Playing with a woman's honor and mourning is wrong, especially if it's between women. What a spectacle we ended up seeing!

Actually, I did find it quite appealing to see him as a gigolo and at the same time as a puppy to his cousin.I understood perfectly why she made that decision, that betrayal by her husband, or even how she still wanted to stand out, she wanted that from her beloved cousin.

I felt the pain on both sides; she wanted to excel from a young age and was daring at first. I thought it would have something physical, thankfully it didn't, because I know it's a taboo subject. However, for Maintaining the family heritage could have been a good thing from that other perspective.Although it is not justified, I felt the pain of both of them for not having each other.

Duty First, Kiss Later Episode 10
0 people found this review helpful
estar after the preview in the previous ep we all kinda knew what would take place in this ep - even if the just got the highlights - it was enough to clue us in that Omaeda isn't a good guy & worse he was just playing Takoi to get back at Shu. of course Shu came to rescue & saved his damsel in distress who pledged his undying love. it was a very cute ending for a very cute BL which is kinda ironic considering the ages of the mains - character wise not actor wise. & NO i aint looking for adult content. but still this was kinda G-rated but in a very endearing & wholesome kind of way. not complaining as this was a fun watch but i wont think of this the sec i want something comforting to binge watch - it's kinda forgettable IMO. still enjoyed it well enough & aint crying about the time i spent on this. a one off

coffeejelly007 SO! I'm not really a fan of this "last-minutue-loveinterest" thing but this time, it serves a greater purpose, as shown in the preview for episode 10.Takoi seems to get kidnapped by our cute yet sus new transfer!! Shiono is already railed up with jealousy but now with Takoi in danger? That jealousy will turn into rage like a switch!What I will say is that I defiently wished for more romance development but oh well!Can't wait to see the finale!

I could not help but feel very bad for Wan this episode! Felt like he is caught between Third and Nine's conflict while also coming to terms with Nine's true nature. Also, don't know if Renji is genuinely concerned about Wan or only likes stirring up drama.

CDramaMama I don't care if it is Jiwon's first relationship, he knows how to care for people right? He has empathy, right? He never thinks about Jungwoo and that's why all his crying about protecting Jungwoo (who does not want to be protected) doesn't resonate. He doesn't act like someone in love. He keeps making all these decisions without Jungwoo's input. Jungwoo says, "I can bear my own suffering." Why doesn't Jiwon LISTEN to what his partner is saying? He doesn't act like someone in love. Jungwoo does. All the time. Jiwon is ... I dunno. A sociopath. Sheesh.

I know, I know. Jiwon is a kid barely in his twenties who's been in the spotlight and knows too well the harshness of being in the public purview. And I get that he's nervous because this is his first relationship. But he so easily lies to protect himself. He lies to himself the worst, especially when he tells Jungwoo he doesn't want to ruin Jungwoo's career. Jungwoo, however, is all in. He wants to tell everyone about their relationship. He doesn't listen to his green-flag boyfriend, who's willing to keep their relationship a secret because he likes Jiwon so much. Jiwon says he's making these crappy decisions for Jungwoo, but he's ignoring what his partner wants, and he keeps hurting him with all his "don't let anyone know" bullshit.

I'm really enjoying how fast-paced-without-feeling-rushed this show has been. The story so far has not dragged on any annoying plot contrivances. My one negative about it would be I"m getting tired of how often Fan Yue keeps grabbing Bai Shu by the throat and threatening to kill her. That seems to be happening about twice each episode and is on one hand still kinda disgusting imagery and from a story perspective getting old and tired. Please stop doing that. It's the one thing that's negative in an otherwise great show. Please come up with a different way to express his anger issues.
