i want to live in that bl world lmao

this show is funny and entertaining asf, i find myself enjoying watching and ended up bing watching the eps... something about it is so addictive? i was curious about the events and whats happening next. its just so interesting
i also wanted to mention that watched a lot of shows that have comedy and i find myself not enjoying most of them ,but this show was completely different, a comedy that is actually entertaining and funny.
the only thing to complain about is that i wish the romantic aspect of the lead was explored more, it was very brief but over all its great, i wanted to see more about ayato and tojo, was so interested in their relationship as well

Hehe gay

I completed it and read the manga along the way. It was funny and I didn't expect the most was for the protagonist to be with a GUY. Because I thought the plot was about a straight man in a world full of gay men. There wasn't any hidden or dark meaning behind it and the ROMANCE Is definitely welcoming! I liked the male lead because he was very cute. So watch this with your brain turned off and enjoy laughing and giggling at the actors. The actors and music are the best ones here. They are all good-looking (maybe I'm a bit biased, teehee) and the music is, OH M GOD. You can't skip the opening, that's literally a taboo!

Could I be a Mob?

I thought this series would be weird because the trailer one Viki was something and I would’ve never pictured a show would be about the whole world is like a bl drama were all the boys like other boys and if it was an actual world please sign me up cause I would love to see that type of universe. Also Mob is so hilarious because of how hard he’s trying to not date or have feelings for another guy because he doesn’t want to be in a BL. Also Ayato is so adorable and I literally love him so much like he’s my favorite character. And can we mention this bop outro ‘Bubble Love’ by Da-Ice is such a good song that whenever I listen to it I always remember this show. Also that intro has to be one of my favorite ones because the actors singing it and the costumes were so amazing and funny. I will warn there may be spoilers ahead so be aware.
I got hooked in right after the first episode, it I was quite funny how Mob was trying to not get pulled into the BL world, but could not escape it at all to the point that he could even write his own BL novel because when he was predicting who confessed to Ayato he knew that it was Toujou since he has roses and a spotlight on him. Also can we mention Ayato and Toujou’s relationship cause they are the cutest things on earth like they remind me of two bears. Also Mr. Mayama is kinda scary because he basically was writing about what he sees in the BL world and it actually comes true. Also it was funny about how hard Mob was trying to escape being in a BL, but Kikuchi was making Mob come into the world because he likes him. Overall this show is very hilarious and very short and I definitely recommend this show because you just can’t miss it.

Not my kind of comedy.

This wasn't bad, but it's just not my cup of tea. I am not a big fan of this kind of comedy.
The story was different, but very predictable. From episode 1 you could guess how it was going to end.

The acting was ok, so were the music and the visuals.
I am not a fan of so much inner monologue, it kinda annoys me.

It's not a bad watch, and seeing how many people rated this drama high i think you should just watch it.

Really funny.

Even tho i'm not a fan of irrealistic stories i wanted to give it a try on this drama, and it was really the best thing to do cause i laughed for two seasons. The story is a bit superficial and there are a lot of filler episodes with multiple side stories that are really fast, but one thing that i liked is how in the future thoose side stories mix with the main one. For the acting, the way over the line story and reactions that i usually dislike here made me laugh really hard, even tho sometimes i got a bit of second hand embarrassment. Overall, it's a good drama, so if you want something simple and comic to just relaxate and laugh on absolute bl it's the perfect drama.

So close!!

The first 3/4 are perfect. The show explores fantastically the cliche scenarios para only happen in BLs time and time again. I love the fact that our protagonist is such an extra that he doesn't even have a name, he's just Mob. The fact that he's the only one aware that this is a BL world makes everything funnier.

I don’t hate the ending. It makes sense for the protagonist to end up falling for a guy. But it would have been so nice to actually see him escaping all the tropes and be alone in the end, judging everybody around him. Or at least have him fall for a guy without it being connected to super cliche, like what ended up happening.

Surprisingly good. Made me want more...

I've already watched nearly all the good dramas. So i picked this up thinking it was not a BL.😅 My assumption was it's a drama with him avoiding guys and nothing else but then i realised we had side couples😭. Everytime a side couple appeared i wanted more of each of them😭😭😭 can we get a complete drama with the otheer couple's stories...
Then i was like no way Mob is gonna end up with someone but then kikuchi got him🤭🤭 not complaining but i kinda wanted mob to end up with the white flower guy from the bar..
It was surprisingly good. Although i read the next season summary that kikuchi dumps mob for his ex🙄

To be honest I really enjoyed it .it was really fun to watch i know some of you guys wouldn't agree with me but im gonna write it anyway because it's killing me i don't think I'm gonna re-watch it because i don't think kikuchi was complimenting "mob" i mean i almost dropped the second season because i didn't like them together.. i was really happy when i found out he was gonna have a partner but i wished it was kikuchi.. really don't like them together.. maybe if there was different actor who played kikuchi i would've rewatched it . At last it was really fun to watch but i don't think i like the person who played kikuchi...that's my problem or else i think the drama itself is great.. waah it feels great writing a review..(^._.^)/

Hilarious, witty and sweet!

Goodness the amount of times I've laughed because of this series, it's uncountable!!! I can't believe that this didn't get on my path earlier!
The maincharacter is hilariously and painfully aware of himself and I love this so much! I also love the beautiful and talented ensemble cast and I especially love that yk, the MC isn't even homophobic, he just doesn't want to become one of those cheesy main characters in a BL manga, which is fair.
I also love the opening credits: the dance and the song are so addictive!!!
If you're a BL fan you'll certainly recognise the many tropes that are present in this series that are being put upside down and be able to laugh at the absurdity of it all.
So, go watch it! (I found it on daily motion ;) )

Hilarious and Fun Show

This show tells the story of a “straight” man who discovers that he was living in a BL world. All around him are boys falling in love and BL tropes happening. However, despite all of this, he is determined to find himself a girlfriend. The story focuses on him trying his best to escape all BL tropes and not become a “main character”

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT
- The premise of the show is so unique that I absolutely loved it. I haven’t seen anything like it before and the show delivers on their promise perfectly.
- The acting is absolutely hilarious. The MC really goes through a lot of emotions and he depicts them perfectly. Tropes that we might have found super romantic in another show just seemed hilarious in this one because of the MC’s reaction to it.
- I really like the MC’s little brother. He’s really cute and his romantic story is hilarious because he has 3 people pining for him.
- This show is extremely funny because it applies BL logic to real life and the MC is a normal person witnessing all this and trying to adapt. I like how he can write out a BL story in his head just by seeing someone for about a few seconds.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT
- I really didn’t like the MC’s love interest because first, there is no build up, just instant fall in love. And that love interest kisses another guy in season 2 before deciding MC is the better choice for him. He’s not good looking and he’s just not likeable.

**Conclusion**
This is a hilarious series that you need to take a look.

A Fun Time

I don't know how I came across this movie, but I am really happy I did. I am typically not a huge fan of really exaggerated acting (like Tsuge from Cherry Magic), as it usually makes my second hand embarrassment flare up, but I really think it works for this movie because of the absurdity of the premise.
I have watched quite a bit of BL at this point, so I feel like I can appreciate all of the ways in which this movie pokes fun at the genre. I think this movie is a fun time, and I would recommend it to pretty much any BL fan.

hilarious

This is one of the funniest series I've seen in a while.
The main character 'mob' plays his role so well, his face expressions and inner monologues are on point.
I think I laughed so hard even my neighbours heard.

Also, very binge worthy since it doesnt take that long, i went through all of it in one sitting (it says here 120 min but one rakuten it was divided into 4 episodes)

The scene where he was smelling the backs of his possible 'saviors', was hilarious,
and i loved the 'bubble love' theme song
starting on that second season right away!
