Such a cute story!

I love Japanese BLs So it was no surprise that I would love this one too. I think that story is really cute and the two main leads have a lot of chemistry. They definitely grew up different, but they still understand each other and are really comfortable with each other…. Especially in THAT scene. I’m excited to see you on the next episode I like and I hope they get closer..
The flash backs to when they were kids adds so much to the story which I really like. Hopefully they get to go to a festival??

I am here for these BEAUTIFUL BOYS!!!

"I have been living like this for 5 years already.... I will continue living this way...." Hiro said in his head. The loneliness bait caught me off guard; I wondered how somebody be so young but so lonely at the same time. And Kai enters the scene out of nowhere. Kai, as kid when he was like, maybe 10-12 years old, promised to marry Hiro. Here, you have a story of Perpect Propose.

Hiro and Kai are beautiful boys!!! And they will have a beautiful story indeed. The opening sequence has a beautiful song.

Absolutely watch!!!!

I love this drama. There’s something about Jbls that make my heart flutter. The perfect mix between sweetness and angst. This drama right here is so captivating with not only an attractive cast but one that can ACT.
The actor that plays Kai plays his roll a little too well *insert crying emoji* and so does the actor that plays Hiro.
Actually the entire cast is really good and the scenes feel natural. I really like the cinematography of the film.
Ofc the downside of jbls is they’re too short in length and episodes.

A perfect adaptation of a relatable manga for working adults

A Good Adaptation:
First of all, I think this is one of the most accurate TV adaptation of a source material which made me happy because see how it’s not that hard to just follow an existing material and made it work on screen. Perfect Propose didn’t just adapt every page of the manga and every lines but they added more background and interaction between main characters and their supporting characters to make them feel more relatable and dimensional. That’s the part I love the most of the story.

Relatable characters:
Some might be feel that Kai is relatable, some might feel more relatable to Hirokuni, for me it’s Hirokuni as we are suffering from very similar work condition and thoughts. The way he couldn’t sleep because if he closed his eyes he would open again to another morning really hit me hard because, me too.

Kai is a blessing for his dark gloomy and plain life where he lost the balance between work and life. It’s so pleasing to see Hiro starting to adapt healthier life style and yearn to be home because of Kai. Kai changed his life and vice versa because Hirokuni made Kai sees how his presence could make a huge change to someone’s life. They are made for each other.

The ending was satisfying for a story as simple as their love story. Some might find the lack of skinship and focus on romance tropes in this boring but keep in mind that their main point is how the main characters have each other as catalyst to change their life for better and I think that’s just beautiful and sweet for me.

An Adaptation for the Ages

This is the best adaptation of a manga I have ever seen make it to film or television. They captured every chapter, every panel, beat for beat for beat. I can only think of three things they noticeably changed over the course of these six episodes, and I appreciate each of those changes. This has not only increased my love of the original manga but has also introduced me to one of my new favorite JBL shows of all time. My one complaint? I could never have enough.

This Japanese BL series is great, even tho im not really into Japanese BL series i think this one is one of the few and only Japanese BL i liked and didn't get bored while watching it.
This series contains only 6 episodes of a duration of 25 mins per episodes , it might be a short series but it was still good the storyline was great.
If you like short BL well this is for you!

short but sweet

The story shows two different back story that depicts peoples current life / work. One who struggles due to his low self esteem and one who experienced loss of loved ones. The show showed how exhausting life can be that you'll eventually agree due to to frustration and exhaustion. One scene that caught me off guard was when Hiro said the reason why he is reluctant in leaving and made me feel sympathy with him. Lot of people choose to do something they're comfortable that makes them reluctant to change and be contented with what is with them right. However, it shows how brave the MC is for doing it. Kudos to all the staffs who produce this good show.

Most underrated drama

This drama is really fantastic people who was Thai bl this seems bit different to them may be because of not much comedy scenes or kiss scenes but quite romantic and based on past bl this drama contains child hood crush, past memory and office relationship wow drama no much complicated twist simple and clear unfortunately we have very less episodes and if they make more episodes with 1 hr time it would have been good but still they covered all the plots without truncating I loved this drama and Japanese bl always have different vibe the voice of actors and the music story is a kind of silent I enjoyed it and recommend to all bl fans

Perfect Propose: A Heartwarming Dive into Japanese BL

Okay, so let's talk about Perfect Propose, the latest gem in the Japanese BL scene. First off, can we just take a moment to appreciate how ridiculously adorable the main couple is? Like, their on-screen chemistry is so off-the-charts, it's practically contagious.

Now, if you're a manga fan, you're in for a treat because this series stays pretty faithful to its source material. Of course, they had to tweak a few things, especially in the "intimate" department, because, you know, TV ratings and stuff. But hey, no complaints here, it's still pretty darn good.

But, oh man, can we talk about that overworking scene? It hit me right in the feels. I mean, seriously, who doesn't want to scream at their boss for making them burn the midnight oil and not even giving them a pat on the back? It's like, come on, show some appreciation, people! And don't even get me started on how it messed up Hirokuni's plans with Kai. I was legit tearing up over that.

Now, let's give a round of applause to Kai for being the most understanding partner ever. Seriously, that guy is goals. His patience and support throughout the series just made me want to give him a virtual hug.

Overall, I had a blast watching Perfect Propose. It's another win for Japanese BL, folks. So, if you're in the mood for some heartwarming romance with a dash of drama (and who isn't?), this one's a must-watch. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. ?

mais que um romance

é de se imaginar que em uma série de 6 episódios com 24min cada não tem muita abertura pra se desenvolver uma grande história, mas as vezes a vida surpreende a gente como é nesse caso aqui.

honestamente eu enxergo toda história de perfect propose com algo além do romance, é muito claro que a relação do hiro com o kai expõe o impacto que uma pessoa pode ter em nossa vida. que as vezes vivemos em um modo automático que nos prejudica e tudo que precisamos é de alguém que nos ajude a mudar de percepção. o romance é lindo claro, mas é muito reconfortante assistir o apoio que eles dão um para o outro em conjunto com o cuidado que eles compartilham entre si. no geral a série é uma boa surpresa

Des thématiques fortes en dépit d'une romance délaissée

Combien de personnes sont soumises à une source de stress au travail ? À quel point la pression peut être forte ? Comment évoluer sereinement dans un environnement qui use jusqu'aux os ? Et surtout, quels sont les impacts sur la vie privée ? C'est ce qu'explore Perfect Propose.

Hiro est usé. Il suffit de le regarder se traîner hors de son lit tous les matins. Après des heures de boulot (et un supérieur qui semble lui refourguer le moindre travail), c'est lessivé qu'il rentre chez lui. Malgré la fatigue, le sommeil ne vient pas. Ou du moins, inconsciemment, Hiro refuse de s'endormir pour repousser l'arrivée d'une nouvelle journée. Une routine dans laquelle il est coincé et où on se sent presque étouffer avec lui.

Le retour de Kai dans sa vie va permettre d'équilibrer un minimum la balance tout en poussant Hiro dans ses retranchements. Si les thématiques abordées sont fortes, je regrette qu'une grande majorité ne soit qu'autour d'Hiro. Kai est un personnage à la passivité émotionnelle frappante qui pouvait créer un contraste intéressant.

L'amour apparaît comme une potentielle réponse quant au soulagement qu'Hiro pourrait trouver dans sa vie. Pourtant, la romance n'a jamais eu le temps de se développer. Bien sûr, le duo est sympathique - si on laisse de côté la scène du premier épisode. On est sur une dynamique classique avec Kai en tant qu'audacieux, et Hiro tendu comme un arc. Ils arrivent à faire tourner l'ensemble, le problème est que la partie bureau prend trop de place et ne laisse plus rien à la romance. Cela dit, Perfect Propose est beaucoup trop court pour traiter chacun de ses sujets.

Les JBL me font toujours plus réfléchir que les autres. Peut-être parce qu'ils sont les premiers BL que j'ai vu, j'ai un attachement unique pour eux. Pourtant, les romances sont souvent des frustrations auxquelles je n'arrive pas à m'habituer. Alors, oui, la romance est mignonnette pour le peut qu'on obtient, mais insuffisante pour satisfaire un quota romantique.

Les flash-back n'étaient pas utiles. On aurait pu les sacrifier eux plutôt que la romance. Les décors sont minimes (métro-boulot-dodo), cependant, j'ai apprécié l'ambiance sombre et lumineuse à la fois, et même chaleureuse sur certaines scènes.

En bref, c'est un bon drama en raison des thématiques qu'il aborde (tant la santé mentale que physique). En revanche, il manque l'étincelle qui pouvait faire pétiller la romance.
