Soul Mate Episode 1 Reactions
i can't say this was good cause the whole vibe was a bit depressing & yet it was good. my heart broke for Arata, i get that friend thinking he was doing Arata a favor by outing him. but that wasn't the case - also it wasn't his place to decided to Arata. the fact Ryu was scared silent - again not shocking cause no matter how open or accepting a society is u need to be ready to admit this fact to ur-self. so i get him needing time to face his own feeling let alone face Arata's confession - all the other guys on the team finding out just pushed Ryu deeper into the closet. but the sad part his running away might have given Arata the idea that he was the one that outed him. still i don't get why he felt the need to try & put an end to things. but i donno what else he was dealing with so will have to wait & see how things unfold. just glad he survived. ***********************************************Jo Han doesn't seem lost, he just seems in a place where his focus was the boxing match & nothing else. & as he was there only for X amount of time he didn't want to bother connecting with others. even though the way this ep went it feels like this gonna be a "2 trains passing each other in the night" scenario. where they meet, even connect on some level but they wont last for every. & for most of us that need the happily ever after - this type of open end (am guessing) is depressing - but maybe i am wrong & this will turn out different (doubt it given some one the comments i read & also the writer, director is a man they love their depressing plots lol).

First chapter: an ice hockey player kills himself because he is gay.Now it's understandable why Soulmate didn't premiere in December as planned. That month, the LGBTQ+ community was engrossed in the "queer joy" of Heated Rivalry, which also takes place on a hockey rink. But the anti-gay director Shunki Hashizume is a proponent of "queer misery," as he demonstrated in More Than Words, the most homophobic series in history.

Me ha gustado ese aire nostálgico y la forma de pincelar los personajes. La iluminación, la paleta de colores, la velocidad de los diálogos, todo te va preparando para una avalancha de emociones. Ya siento que va a doler y aún no se desarrolla la historia. Veo que ya están juzgando que si es bl que si no es, que si es bait... Yo vengo por una buena historia, no por los besos ni el romance y el primer episodio promete dejarme satisfecha.
