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.

Short-length BL series (6 episodes) but very cute
PLOT: Hiro, an IT, is on the verge of burnout, squeezed dry by an abusive manager. He collapses in the street from exhaustion and is picked up by Kai (a very close childhood friend he hasn't seen in six years). Kai asks him to put him up for a while. Kai cooks for Hiro, gradually filling his life with joy, and confesses his love. Hiro is distraught, depressed, unable to make decisions, and the pressure at work intensifies.+++ Nomura Kota as the MC is charming and very talented. He's very young, but very promising. I'll definitely be following him from now on!
Kaneko Shunya is also excellent in this role of an ultra-stressed, manipulated, and exhausted employee.
+++ The series accurately portrays the working conditions with a toxic manager. It also shows how difficult it is to break free from this control.
+++ The direction is excellent, with good pacing, emotion, and beautiful visuals (actors & food).
+++ The OSTs are well-suited.
No flaws (except we would have liked a slightly more developed ending).
=> A very cute BL series, full of Nomura Kota's charm :)

Série BL Courte (6 ép) mais très cute
PLOT: Hiro, technicien IT, est au bord du burn-out, pressuré comme 1 citron par 1 directeur abusif. Il tombe d'épuisement ds la rue, et est "ramassé" par Kai (ancien ami d'enfance très proche, perdu de vue depuis 6 ans). Celui-ci lui demande de l'héberger pr 1 moment. Kai cuisine pr Hiro, remplit peu à peu sa vie, et lui avoue son amour. Hiro est désemparé, dépressif, ne peut plus prendre de décision, et la pression au travail augmente.
+++ Nomura Kota as MC, craquant et très talentueux. Il est très jeune, mais très prometteur. Je vais le suivre désormais ! Kaneko Shunya est également excellent dans ce rôle de salarié ultra-stressé, manipulé, épuisé.
+++ La série décrit bien les conditions de travail avec un manager toxique. Elle montre aussi comment il est difficile de se défaire de cette emprise.
+++ La réalis° est excellente, avec du rythme, des émotions, et de belles images (de cuisine, notamment).
+++ Les OSTs sont bien adaptées.
No flaws (sauf qu'on aurait bien aimé une ending un peu plus dvlpée)
=> Série BL très cute, remplie du charme de Nomura Kota :)

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.Was this review helpful to you?

Calming, relaxing, emotional yet realistic
This is one of the most touching and realistic BLs I've watched. The drama has quite some unique features like less emphasis on the leads being gay and more about their life and other problems. How everything is not magically solved.The story is about 2 boys one who gained some light as he grew up and one who lost it. Hiro brings this light into Kai's life when they were younger but overtime loses his own cz of how messy life is.
Compared to Kai's story i liked Hiro's more. I like how accurately they described corporate life. How companies make you feel unworthy and how you lose yourself unknowingly over time. I liked how hiro didn't confront, fight or do anything instead just quit to get out of the cycle. Unlike other dramas where you see the lead works hard and then things happen the villain gets fired and the office problems are solved. In reality no such things can happen. I like how hiro finished his work and quit. How subtly Kai supported and brought back light into Hiro's life and how they grew during the entire series.
It's just beautiful. I dont understand why its rated 7 but for me it was short and sweet

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.Was this review helpful to you?
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 fansWas this review helpful to you?

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, une romance sacrifiée...
Combien de personnes sont soumises au stress dans leur travail ? Jusqu'où la pression peut-elle aller ? Comment évoluer dans un environnement qui use jusqu'aux os ? Et surtout, quels sont les impacts sur la vie privée ? Voici ce qu'explore Perfect Propose.Hiro (Kaneko Shunya) est coincé dans un environnement professionnel nocif. Il enchaîne les heures alors que son supérieur lui refourgue sans cesse du boulot supplémentaire. Le matin, il peine à sortir du lit. Le soit, il s'empêche de dormir afin que le lendemain n'arrive pas trop vite. Derrière ce sourire de convenance, l'usure est palpable.
Aux premiers abords, l'arrivée de Kai (Nomura Kouta) n'est pas une si bonne nouvelle. Après une scène fortement discutable (en 2024, ce genre de scènes existent encore, vraiment ?), leurs vies trouvent un équilibre, poussant malgré tout Hiro dans ses retranchements.
La dynamique du duo est mignonne, parfois audacieuse, en dépit de l'égoïsme d'Hiro. L'un est audacieux, l'autre tendu comme un arc. Leur relation progresse avec des flash-back de leur amitié d'enfance inutiles. En réalité, il aurait été intéressant de les sacrifier eux afin de laisser la romance vivre. D'ailleurs, si les thématiques abordées sont fortes, c'est regrettable que la plupart ne tournent qu'autour d'Hiro. Kai est un personnage à la passivité émotionnelle frappante, cela pouvait créer un contraste intéressant.
En revanche, la romance n'a jamais eu le temps de se développer, malgré la piste ouverte sur le fait que l'amour pourrait être ce dont Hiro a besoin dans sa vie. Perfect Propose est trop court pour explorer chaque piste. Encore une fois, la romance est oubliée au détriment du reste. Quelques baisers ne suffisent pas.
En bref, Perpect Propose aborde des thématiques importantes. Cependant, c'est au détriment de la romance qui n'a pas le temps de se développer ou de créer une quelconque étincelle
