...and here I was, calling for Peterpan, to save and contain Pond in The Edge of Horizon - voila, pikaboo, i found him, just in the first minutes of this series. So our Reset darlings split into these two series now... hmmm. π€
Wow, this one is way deeper than meets the eye at first sight - it is still prone to do some too stupid too emotional things here and there, but this one has a big praise from me. They managed to do something a) I haven seen in thai series, b) did not expect despite loving it from the beginning, c) haven't overall use much this effectively in thai series (maybe bl series generally speaking)... bravo.
Of course it does, thatβs why weβre all flocking around this one gem. Iβll have to think through the differences,…
Interesting, you must be the only one who got a dirty old man vibe from Nozue, especially considering Togawa was nearly 30 there. I don't really see where the problem should be, unless we want to differentiate our own preferences regarding the main leads, which I understand is a good practice not to do in BL circles?
And I believe that in the case of Azuma Sakutaro and Kuji Shizuka, the age gap was even smaller, so it really might be that you just don't like Takeda Kouhei and his looks for some reason. Which is something I can understand, but I simply don't vibe with.
It might also be that you have personal issues with age gaps in general. Again, that's something I can understand, but I don't vibe with any of these interpretations.
There is another possibility: you are more into rom-coms and comic-relief-type, comics-like stories than real-life dramas. Again, I can understand preferences.
Interestingly enough, the age difference between Takeda Kouhei then and Watanabe Shu now is three years, if I'm correct. Takeda Kouhei was 37 when he portrayed Nozue, while Watanabe Shu is 34 now. That's just a three-year difference. They are, indeed, portraying very different types of characters: one is serious and dramatic, while the other is basically pure, contained comic relief.
I don't think Heisuke Takoi is supposed to portray someone approaching 40 and feeling like he has nothing, while Nozue was exactly that type of character. There is a difference between approaching 30 and approaching 40 in terms of the mental pressure that comes with it, and that is reflected in the atmosphere of both series.
So, I conclude that you might have some unreflected preferences and possibly that you are young, which would explain your message. Taste matures with age. :)
i believe firmly i am not the first saying this but: this hideous statue again? :D (now fingers crossed it was not made by one of the actors or the crew themselfs, or imma screwed :D)
Of course it does, thatβs why weβre all flocking around this one gem. Iβll have to think through the differences, though. One of the most significant would be that OFC is through-and-through drama, while this has its almost-comic-relief-but-weβre-over-thirty-so-catching-ourselves-at-the-proper-time-and-playing-it-out-by-running-away-quickly moments. :D
