Love the improvement

okay now this season is definitely much much better than the 1st season. both the main role in this one are showing that they're much comfortable with each other which makes me feel that they're getting better with the acting. i see the grow on the character and the plot. also i see something that makes me suprised.

in the previous season i know that the main character are cherish and being cherished but i cant really defying it. but in this one i feel both the main character are exponentially grow a lot and they find ways to open up about themself and solve their problem

but also, if you like a masochist paired with tsundere. this one is for you

I keep saying "Huh???"

I'm not the type of person who gets hooked on the first episode however mostly after 2/3 episode my attention usually fixed. Not this series tho. even after 3 episodes i'm still don't get excited. The actor performance was A-Okay but the plot of the story are not really eye catching and honestly almost creepy. At first i was trying to understand that maybe the main character is suffering but he always give a weird vibe and that's been proven on the not-so-ethical scene with his photo. and i thought that the main role just having some kind of stockholm syndrome or something but i just don't get it. after watching all the episodes i don't see any interesting grow both from the plot or the character. i even look up when i watch the 3rd episode that this is the best BL in 2023 and honestly i dont really think so.

I was told that if someone think that this series is not good, they should wathed it again. and I did.

Okay first and foremost i need to repent my previous opinion because i need to understand that every series is different. and watching this series after a very 'green flag' series probably corrupt my expectation lol.

okay now let's Re- Review the series again.
Yagi yusei acting are definitely good! he potrait someone who is very insecure and broken but he need to have a strong shell outside. he play the character kiyoi so good he gets all the sad, envy, sorrow, loneliness, love very well.
keep it in mind, if you don't think the same opinion as me, he supposed to be a tsundere here. so yeah he is suppose to be harsh on hira while also wanting to love him. he just wanted to be treated for the way he is as human. as hira always looks up to him as "deity"

i just need to dig more about this very low self esteem behaviour of Hira. still makes me very frustated to figure out what he wants.

I came for Yuta and leave with a new of eyes open for Japanese cinematic movies & Japanese boybands.

I admit, i only watch this because of Yuta. I don't know the plot, i don't know the rest of the prequel, you can say i know nothing. But holy guacamoly all those not knowing what will happen makes me truly and very surprised.

I write this as if i haven't watched the rest of the franchise. Okay so I was SHOCKED by how good the Actors doing their role. the emotion, projectoriy of the story an DEFINITELY the ACTIONS are magnificent!

However, i do not understand at first why does this schools are trashy and no teacher in the school and they're are still coming to school just to fight. that's the only thing i don't immediately like (i understand it after i watched the previous movies to this franchise).

all the actor work very hard for this and i don't know that there are SO MANY boy grup in this movies so it's make me curious for them. and turns out they make great songs too!

i enjoyed this movie very much!

I've never been so happy that "miscommunication" is the foundation of the drama's conflict!

The plot of this drama is truly exceptional. It breaks away from the typical predictable high school love story and offers a fresh perspective while still maintaining the sweet and innocent essence of young love. The pacing is just right, neither dragged out nor rushed, and the story unfolds with perfect consistency. Unlike other stories where unspoken feelings lead to prolonged tension, this drama avoids that trope, making for a much more enjoyable to watch.

Although Japanese BL miscommunication is a common issue, Aoki and Ida's relationship stands out because they manage to avoid this pitfall. While they do have occasional disagreements, these conflicts stem from their struggle to comprehend their newfound emotions rather than from any lack of communication. This unique approach adds depth to their characters and makes their story all the more compelling.

I appreciate the inclusion of the secondary storylines involving Aida and Hashimoto as supporting characters. Their presence adds a sense of wholesomeness to the overall story. Furthermore, I admire the writer's decision not to portray Hashimoto as the typical third-wheel character, which is a refreshing departure from the overused trope often seen in similar stories. This choice contributes to the unique and engaging nature of the storytelling.

The casting for the characters in the show is truly exceptional. Michieda Shunsuke's portrayal of Aoki is nothing short of brilliant. He effortlessly embodies the goofy, funny, clumsy, and kind aspects of the character, while also delivering the sincere, strong, mindful, and considerate traits with great skill. His acting is consistently top-notch, and I couldn't find a single scene where his performance felt anything less than genuine. Additionally, Maguro Ren deserves praise for his portrayal of the inexperienced first-time lover, as he brings the character to life with remarkable authenticity, drawing the audience into the story.

I commend the production team for their ability to portray various scenes in different locations, which keeps viewers engaged and eager for the next episodes. Additionally, the background music is a perfect complement to the story. The carefully curated OST enhances the drama and is well-suited to the overall narrative. This attention to detail adds depth and richness to the viewing experience.

Overall, this drama is a must-watch for anyone looking for a fresh take on young love and a well-executed plot.

Living together with my childhood bestfriend

In the first episode, I am capturing the sweet, gentle, and heartwarming emotions of getting to know each other. Tanaka and Natsukawa, once very close childhood friends, are now living together due to their parents' arrangement for attending the same university. They are finding their way to be comfortable in each other's company after growing apart in middle school. The first episode shows how they care about each other despite growing apart.
Sato Ryuga, who plays Tanaka, has impressed me with his acting so far. There is no awkwardness or stiffness in his performance. I appreciate how he portrays his character's kindness and caring through the expression in his eyes. He shows a lot of confidence in his first BL role, especially considering it is his first time portraying a romantic role.
Regarding Sakai Sho, who portrays Natsukawa, this is not his first rodeo in the BL world. Although his initial role in the BL series "Takara-kun to Amagi-kun" was minor as Tanaka's friend, I believe he gained valuable experience from it. He adeptly embodies a cute, kind, shy, and slightly low self-esteem character. I can clearly perceive the innocence in his character's eyes, showing his genuine desire to be of assistance to his friend.
The set stage in the first episode is promising as it shows a lot of movement to different sets in some scenes. However, as always, the first episode is the pilot of the series so the budget for the first episode is much higher. I just hope that as more episodes come out, the variety of the sets doesn't get reduced.
I'm a simp of a good opening or ending song as I discover my favorite artists through them. Unfortunately, this show only has one song for both the opening and ending. However, despite that, the song is quite catchy and I haven't heard of this group before, so I need to check out more of their music.
overall this drama is promising and i have a high hope for this drama.
