Tokyo Dokushin Danshi (2019)

This is one of the most heart-wrenching, relatable shows I have seen in a long time! Although I can see, and sort of agree, with how and why a few commenters have said they've dropped this show, however, on the other hand, with such an amazing cast and a very thoughtful, tangible, genuine story of life and friendships and reality, I just don't see how they could drop it!

If you've seen the American show "Friends", then the feeling/air of this show is something similar, though I wouldn't say it's an exact copy because it definitely has its own fantastic qualities! The synopsis, and even title of the show itself, suggests that it is a show about men and how they move throughout their life/lives while being single. But do not let that throw you, and do not let this show fool you! Sure there are a few slow moments, but if you pay attention to detail (mostly words and how the actor himself/herself portrays their character) during those slow moments, you'll realize that everything that person says and does is pretty beneficial to the show as a whole.

This show is not just a story about the three main characters friendships within their "lair" or within their group; it also shows a lot of how society manipulates and recreates us as human beings, not to mention our relationships within our families, romantic relationships, and within our jobs. This show brings to life the actual act of human life; real, raw, and honest!

Got me out of my slump. Sweet friendships, and enjoyable slice of life ?

ep 7. I like how the fls aren't doormats and even equals to the mls
Mls have their fantasies and idealistic ideas but so do those fls. Both don't want to be used but both also a bit lack in understanding and accepting the other
So one doesn't commit the other feels robbed. And walking away is a wakeup call but sometimes it can also be too late to fix it

ep 5. My dude better not betray me. I honestly appreciate all characters. Even the double love triangles are opposite of each other so it adds good depth

ep4. This was a good ep. The women like I said before even in a male centered pov are still diverse and hold their own ground. Sure like love to hate you the ml here also judges women by their yooho(?) Type, it's not your fault, godzila girl, but the mls themselves aren't any better
Which goes back to a bit of realism, he's an idiot but he's making an effort

ep 3. I'm against long term one sided crush but I need to keep remind myself of the 1st ep and the elevator scene
The sister is a bit weird, she's been so cool and "one of the guys" but she has an extreme clingy side to her
Like I'm disappointed it was a hallucination from 3 years ago. Her wording of you kissed me and said let's get married.. I hoped it was 2 days ago..
Tho taro is an idiot and blind so he does need an extreme to push him out of his comfort zone
Like his ex and her soft "turn the coaster if you're not expressing your real emotions" was so mellow she left and he was too idiot to speak up
But I loved her part of the guys chill persona more. It'd have been a nice change to have a chill fl who's still deeply in tune with her feelings
Yo what is this and why has no one force me to watch this? I LOVE IT. if there's something jdramas do well it's slice of life ish stuff
This is so real, over dramatic and silly but so daily life of people, chill and fun

ep1. I adore Takahashi and this is the type of characters I want from him sexy mature idot?
Also men are stupid, I'm glad eventho this is from 3 single guy's pov, the women are still smart. Tho my boo is going for the worst type of women thinking only about her being his ideal 1st love
I'm glad my 1st sight ship with the 2ml sister doesn't seem too delulu??
