Feel the manga vibes!!!
From the start, the series has showcased us with a high-quality live adaptation of a manga. The nostalgia that I felt is very reminiscing. The visual animations and sound effects really radiate a fantastic manga/anime vibes. Added with the opposite personalities of two main characters, which are commonly seen in Manga World, their chemistry comes in perfect unison to give us a well-balanced lovely and charming couple. No need for kissing scenes. What was given is satisfying.There are minor issues regarding some plots that I will leave unmentioned, but overall, I like this series.
This is.... Entertaining. Uplifting. Heartfelt. Worth the watch.

Good and funny but needs a lil something more
I was really excited to watch this drama! As an artist, I found myself relating to the existential dread that he is going through. I think they portrayed that part really well. As a J-idol fan, I enjoyed the portrayal of fan culture and the idols' experiences, as it is something I'm familiar with. The somewhat niche comedy was really this drama's strength.This drama was pretty good and pretty funny. However, I think it could've been better. I understand that he is supposed to have conflicting feelings, but I feel like most of what was portrayed were the frustrations, for both characters. Though necessary, it would be nice if there was more of a balance—I wish they explored more of their feelings of yearning for each other. Maybe I just wished for more 'kyun' moments, haha. I think there could've been more chemistry between the two leads. I don't mind the lack of a kissing scene—it wouldn't make much of a difference. There are other ways to portray intimacy. But, I really think there's room for them to explore the characters a bit more. There also seem to be pacing issues. The climax was pushed back to the end, and everything was resolved in one episode. Usually, when dramas do this, it can still be executed well. I think it needs a season 2 to make it better.
Overall, it was enjoyable and good. I had high expectations in the beginning, but I was a bit underwhelmed at the end. I have no regrets watching it. Better to watch for the comedy than romance, in my opinion. Still cute, nonetheless.
Sidenote: This might be the 2nd best opening in a J-BL. Of course, nothing will top the openings of Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai VS Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko.

Dropped after 2 episodes
- I just can't with this whiney ML- don't like the editing style in general, although I enjoyed some scenes.
- don't like the manga this dude is drawing xd
- don't like the female friend -> to overdone
- don't like the overacting, even if it's typical for japanese dramas. (At least this is what I read about a lot of japanese dramas. I'm new to them lmao) I already watched drama where I can stand this, where I even can enjoy it and find it funny! but here: no chance
- I think the story is very predictible, so I prefer to safe my time and not force myself to watching this
- it's just boring and nothing in this story is exciting or interesting to me. x.x
- I really don't like the humour at all.
+ Tsubasa is actually a character I like so far!
+ Shiny smile (Issay expected lol) is overall a group of characters I really like! Probably would enjoy a show about them a lot more lol.
+ Kyou is goddamn cute.
+ I really like Ryuujis calm personality.
+ Yeah...totally whipped for Shiny Smile, sorrynotsorry.
I don't want to say people shouldn't watch this show, because obviously a lot of people enjoyed it. But for me, it's just not it. I wouldn't say it's a bad show, but it's definitely not for me. So don't hesitate and if you're interested, give it a try!

Amo os plots japoneses
Uma série que gostei bastante. Já comecei gostando da abertura, que lembra a de "Absolute BL", porém num tom menos exagerado.O roteiro é bom. Os dois personagens principais são interessantes. Suas histórias de vida no presente foram moldadas pelo seu passado, mais especificamente por maus entendidos ocasionados pela falta de comunicação entre os dois quando era colegiais.
Mamoru, por sempre ter amado a arte de fazer mangás gays, se sente inferior, ou pelo menos tem muito medo de ser inferiorizado pelas outras pessoas... além de sua amiga, ele não interage com ninguém, e por isso ele acredita que o sorriso caloroso que Kazama Issei sempre lhe dá é de desprezo.
Kazama Issei é um dos garotos populares, com um sorriso encantador. Ele sempre esteve lá para Mamoru, aguardando que este desse qualquer abertura, mas o complexo de inferioridade de Mamoru nunca permitiu que ele confessasse que na verdade o que sentia era amor. A rejeição de Mamoru fez com que Kazama Issei quisesse se tornar um idol, e ele conseguiu, na verdade, ele atribui todo o seu sucesso a Momuru, e nunca viu essa rejeição como algo horrível, e sim como um obstáculo que o fez crescer como pessoa para merecer o amor dele.
Já Mamoru, depois que rejeitou Kazama Issei, mesmo dizendo exatamente o oposto do que seu coração desejava, piorou seu complexo de inferioridade e sua capacidade de expressar sentimentos e se relacionar com o mundo, fazendo com que sua vida girasse em torno de sua arte e de um lugar na "parede".
Quando sus mundos se cruzam de novo, as vidas de ambos passam por um turbilhão, suas vidas profissionais e pessoais passam a ter problemas, e de uma forma meio excêntrica eles acabam sendo o alicerce um do outro.
O plot também fala de amizade, sobre algumas dificuldades sofridas pelos idols, a ética profissional dos paparazzis e sobre tentar ser melhor a partir do exemplo de outros.
A atuação nessa série é incrível. Os atores são perfeitos para os personagens, a caracterização é bem interessante, a ost é excelente, inclusive é cantada pela banda de Kazama Issei. Com certeza recomendo essa série.
