cute & all but have to say Haruka's…

cute & all but have to say Haruka's overreacting was killing the buzz. her always falling over her own two feet to not make the person she loved, feel obligated, constantly apologize & be overly grateful was really too much for me. i get this more of a societal thing - where the women dress & act this way - or this is how they need to act & look. either way to a average person like m, it feels a bit cartoonish & immature. but on a whole everything worked out & they got a happily ever after so that was cute. even though i would've liked Hikaru's parents to do the right thing by their son, by the end. ********************************didn't get the need to see Keisuke & Mio, when Keisuke is supposedly dating someone else. very weird choice plot route for the finale IMO. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also i find it so weird the closed mouth kisses & the almost sterilized romantic scenes, when u have BL's coming out of Japan where it hardcore erotica - i don't get this dichotomy. oh well it is what it is. glad it was short cause if this was longer, i wouldn't be able to stomach Haruka's insecure, self deprecating attitude. she lucked out in that Hikaru cause of his crossdressing & parents objection's, was similar to her & could appreciate her ready acceptance of his true self, without a need for change or any judgment. which made him accept her without the need to take advantage of her hang-ups.

Keisuke is really good looking (this just…

Keisuke is really good looking (this just an observation i needed to make lol). but i didn't get what was the point at the end. it's not like Hikaru is partying. he is at a new job where he needs to prove himself & will have to work his ass off until he is recognized by his boss, as worthy of getting hired. the fact Haruka is sad she hasn't yet realized what her dream is, neither here nor there. she has time, she is a collage student & that means she has all the time in the world to think about what she wants to become once she graduates. that is the point of collage & universities - not just the degree's & the studies, but seeing what u want to do with ur life when u graduate. *********************************************************************************************but i guess as there was one more ep to go, we needed some pointless drama - especially if going by the last ep's preview Keisuke is gonna turn to Mio. ********************************************************************************************************but liked the interaction between Haruka's mother & Hikaru, the fact she wasn't worried but happily accepted Hikaru was very sweet & open minded of her. pity Hikaru's parents haven't tried to reach out & mend bridges

am glad that both Haruka & Hikaru r being forced into addressing their feelings. Shu & Mio r right in that accord - they need to face their feelings. even though personally i think they should take their time, to come to that conclusion all on their own. but it really bothers me that Haruka has gotten buddy buddy with Mio. ******************************************************************i know Haruka doesn't have friends, so Mio's overly pushy personality has basically pushed herself into Haruka's life & circle. but cause of how they met & the fact that Mio knew what she was doing, by contacting Keisuke while she knew he was dating Haruka. let alone playing innocent when she knew she was trying to rekindle sh*t - makes me dislike her & i would rather Haruka not be contact with her. but i guess she was needed to push Haruka into confronting her feelings. still don't like it or her much -

A Heart Torn by Rain and Memory

Episode 1 began like a puzzle of pain. Ice and Saint already knew each other, but the air between them was cold, sharp, and full of questions. What had broken them so deeply that even their eyes could no longer meet without trembling?Episode 2 unraveled that silence beautifully. The idea of the notebook, filled with Ice’s handwriting, his doodles, his quiet feelings captured on paper, became a window to their past. Through those pages, we saw how they met, how laughter once replaced the tears that now stained their memories. It was such a brilliant way to tell their story, love written in ink, now smudged by time and regret.Then came the heartbreak. Another father poisoned by homophobia, another wall built from cruelty. Ice arrived with a teddy bear, ready to congratulate Saint on his graduation, a small gesture but one filled with so much love. Yet, Saint’s father stopped him at the door, his words slicing through Ice like a blade: “Saint already has a girlfriend. Don’t come here again.”And just like that, the rain that once united them became the rain that washed Ice away. He walked home drenched not only in water but in sorrow. He never knew the truth, that Saint never had a girlfriend, that it was all a lie, a cruel misunderstanding that grew into tragedy.Ice’s pain runs deeper than the surface. A father who drank away his love, debts that chained his youth, and now, when he finally found someone to love, another father crushed that fragile hope to dust.But fate was not done tormenting him. The man who should have guided him, his professor, his mentor, betrayed him in the most unforgivable way. Drugged, violated, filmed. His innocence stolen and paraded before the world that chose to judge, not protect. Instead of justice, he was handed shame.Then came the final blow, his father’s death, the debt collectors’ cruelty. Forced into adult films, Ice’s body became currency, his soul left bleeding. Each night he closes his eyes only to face another nightmare, the same wounds replaying in the darkness.Yet fate, cruel as it may be, leaves a single thread of mercy. Ice finds himself sharing a room with Saint once more. Perhaps destiny is offering him one last chance, a chance for Saint to become the light that reaches through the cracks, to remind Ice that love still exists.Because sometimes, the most broken hearts are the ones most capable of love, if only someone is brave enough to hold them again. 💔

Explosive Start for a New Uni Enemies to Lovers BL

Yet another university enemies to lovers trope, but this one surprisingly starts with a big bang. I really enjoyed episode 1. There were no cringe moments or awkward background music like in many other uni BLs. The plot feels fresh and interesting, with the main couple already knowing each other and fate bringing them to share the same dorm room.I’m so used to seeing Ja paired with First, having watched three series with them, so it’s refreshing to see Ja (as Saint) acting alongside his new partner Tae (as Ice).Ice is cold, cocky, and incredibly talented. Can we take a moment to appreciate that he wrote and sang that song so beautifully? He can sing, play guitar, act, and he’s good-looking, a perfect match for Saint. Saint is gentle and caring, and it’s obvious he still has feelings for Ice. Their chemistry is electric. I loved the scene where Ice ate durian just to annoy Saint, yet Saint still washed and hung up his clothes. They’re practically living like a couple already.Their chemistry is off the charts, and I can’t wait to see their hearts slowly find their way back to each other. The first episode had it all: romance, comedy, tension, and great emotional build-up. My Wednesday nights are going to be fun with this series until January 2026.
