I assume that most viewers of the BL genre are interested in romance, that's what they prefer. It really depends on what you connect with. It serves as a break and is pleasant and exciting to watch romantic series rather than realistic ones where, in their opinion, there is no break. It's more about feeling life which they are already experiencing.

According to the website, he actually progressed very quickly compared to others. Starting to act at age 24, which is considered old, and still needing mileage and experience, it took him only two years to land a leading role, which is quite fast. Many start acting from childhood and also get stuck until they land a leading role. It's apparently not that simple. Maybe in this genre, it's easier and more accessible.

The last episode is the one that could have saved the series if it had started around the middle, precisely in episode 4 or 5. That's the episode that was needed, and from there, it should have continued to relationships. It's frustrating because the two main actresses are really charming and fit well together.

I didn't see most of the Jbl series on the site this year

One of the best series so far, truly touching, the actors are stunning one by one, with chemistry, so charming.I like it too much

This series is so boring and frustrating, but Kobayashi simply saves it with his charm and acting skills. I don't understand why people complain about the character; in my eyes, he is very realistic. There are such people in reality, it exists.

It's natural for people to expect romance, since it's explicitly stated as the genre. Perhaps they should have written that it's a series about life, not romance.

Ep 5, 6 Frustrating and entertaining at the same time, there's always a gloomy atmosphere in the air . There is no vibrancy; everything is dull, including the colors, the room, the clothes, the set.
When the couple finally opened up and communicated, it was very nice. You can't say that their development isn't authentic or realistic, maybe that's why it's a bit boring. In every episode, a secondary and unimportant character appears just to provide a reason for drama, but there are no consistent characters to follow.

In Asia and Africa, makeup that is lighter than the skin tone is sold, often referred to as "whitening" or "bleaching."

Ep 8 The most beautiful episode so far. Taishin opened up and showed his charm too, becoming more attractive and appealing when he is authentic and shows what he likes, not just chasing after Takara.

I agree, but there still seems to be some charm in the series. Unfortunately, Nakano Taishin actor wasn't a good fit and spoiled it a bit, but Iwase Yoji somehow saves it.

I understand you well; you don't like it when people criticize the things you enjoy. But that's life, so let's leave it at that and let others have the freedom to express themselves.

Why did I receive 10 notifications from you? White people don't try to look Asian or Black, but Asians and Blacks try their hardest to look white, it's well-known... It's not something I made up.

Tanaka is so cute and captivating, and they really match well. Episode 3 was adorable—I watched it twice, once without subtitles and once with flawed subtitles. I'll probably watch it again when a proper translation comes out. It seems to be the only series I can watch episode 3 three times and still enjoy.

I understand you well; you don't like it when people criticize the things you enjoy. But that's life, so let's leave it at that and let others have the freedom to express themselves.

It's clear that you didn't understand me. I mentioned that I don't generally mind if something is cheesy, but there needs to be some additional value that justifies the entertainment. In this case, I don't think the mother's violence had anything that justified it or any added value like humor. I came to the series with no expectations but with an openness to critique.

So, feel free to keep watching and enjoying, and anyone who wants to critique it is also welcome to continue doing so as they see fit. It's okay not to understand.

As I mentioned, I don't mind cheesy content, but it needs to have Value, like humor, and that's missing in this case.. Read everything from the beginning, and if something isn't clear, I'll explain it better.

Yes, it’s annoying because the female character in Korean dramas has changed a lot. She has become more Westernized and rebellious, but on the other hand, she is very anxious, filled with trauma and oppression. It’s just symbolic. After she experiences violence from her mother without having a chance to explain herself or get a fair judgment, it’s understandable why she was so annoying. You can't raise someone in a suppressive and primitive environment and expect them not to react like a child in a difficult situation.

Another point to consider, which I’ve noticed here on the site over the past few years, is that some viewers always look back nostalgically at the earlier days of Korean dramas, thinking that the shows were better when they first started watching. The thing is, everyone started watching at different times, and what seems beautiful to them is already worn out in my eyes because I began watching their very old series, while they started when Korea had already become an entertainment powerhouse. Initially, it was fascinating, fun, and good, but gradually, they got tired of it because there's a certain repetitiveness in these dramas. It might be that the shows haven’t changed drastically, but because there are so many of them, a lot of things get repeated, and over time, it becomes boring. Each person starts at a different point, and the beginning always feels more beautiful and exciting. Of course, this is part of a larger picture, and you can’t expect every series to be great, just like with anything else.

The episode itself is mediocre at best. I'm watching it only because of the lead actor, who performed really well in his other two series on Netflix, both of which I enjoyed. Those two series were somewhat realistic portrayals, but I'm not entirely sure about this one.

I think Korea is going through cultural and social changes, and Netflix is either encouraging or enabling this. I mean, the two series he acted in are more realistic in my opinion compared to the series I watched years ago after taking a long break from Kdramas. They have very "hardcore" Korean elements.

I think Netflix allows for some expression, but it can also, of course, be limiting when considering the capabilities and creativity they can bring to their series.

It's sad, but it might not be related to Netflix at all; rather, it could be a natural process influenced by economic and social factors.
