I've agreed with many of your comments on lots of other dramas, but not this one.

Sorry to bother your entertainment with pesky complaints about the normalization of sexual violence too often in BL's....(eye roll)

I'm going to do what I tell other people to do, and that's wait until the drama is over to rate it. (But it won't be in the 8's.)

It does for many of us. I know that that's a source of consternation for others on here, but it actually makes the show MUCH less entertaining. Because sexual assault is just not fun to watch.

I don't understand your question. "gay bashed?" What are you asking?

LGBTQ+ media is being produced in great quantities all over the world, (and have been for years) but they don't usually have the tropes and fetishizing fanservice for straight women that many (too many!) BL's from Asia have. It's media produced for the queer community, not straight women, which is very different.
(Also, Brokeback Mountain was not a "BL movie", and neither of the characters were married when they started their relationship.)

I hope we can get to the point where we say that each person gets to decide for themselves when to have sex with another person. It's majorly screwed up that this character decided FOR his stepbrother that it was time to have sex, and because they weren't moving fast enough (in his opinion), he sped up the process. That decision wasn't his to make, though, and that's why a lot of us have an intense dislike for that particular storyline in this drama. That was one character thinking he knew better than another and taking someone he supposedly loves completely out of the equation. That's not healthy - it's the complete opposite, actually - and it's not a good start to a relationship.

Well at least you admit that a character was actually "drunk and taken against their will." And for many of us here, being drunk and taken against their will is a hell of a lot worse than infidelity between two sober and consenting adults. Sober. And consenting.

I loved this - from beginning to end. Have a box of tissues ready but it has more meaning behind it than it just being sad.

I'm not sure what movie you watched if you thought Yokohama Ryusei was emotionless in this film. All kinds of emotions seeped out of his pores in every scene he was in....

This was very interestingly done - much more like a stage play than a film. The acting was extremely good - especially from the cats.

This was ok, but the main leads were just too pure and naive and the conflicts were unnecessary. However, (and as always), Ryusei doesn't disappoint, even with less than great material to work with.

This was adorably quirky! Yamaken's deadpan internal responses were on point and Ryo's ridiculousness was goofy but endearing.

Watching Haruma at the end was almost too much for my heart to take.

Where did I use all caps? On proper nouns, names and acronyms?! Because I didn't use them for anything else...
A "shame-free" society? You're an expert at shaming people on here who express a different opinion. But again, you really are reaching here, and you seem to like making huge declarative statements about how right you are and how wrong everyone else is. Again, you don't know me, but you keep making these assumptions about what "people like me" do and say. Suffice it to say that all of the bullshit you've spewed so far about me is just wrong. But I don't owe you an explanation, and there's no fucking way that I would trust you with any of my personal information.

Fuck off, honestly. You used some big words in your screed just now, but you just sound pathetic and sad. Talk about not being able to handle something - dear Lord, you are the worst. If my opinion really didn't matter to you, you wouldn't have used as many caps as you did in your reply (which you also insulted someone else in this thread for doing, but you seem to not be able to take your own advice.)
I've watched LGBTQ+ content for longer than you have, I'd be willing to bet, so don't lecture me about what I can handle. You don't have a clue.
"Virtue-fascism"? WTF?! As if you can fucking talk. You virtue-signal all over the fucking place, but whatevs. And you don't know me, but I'm about as far from puritanical as it gets - but hey, you've got to always be right! And contrary to your proclamations, you actually seem to be the biggest moralizer on this thread....

Hey, Flypyde, I, for one, am fucking tired of you throwing in SJW whenever someone says something you don't like or disagree with, especially around issues as personal as sexual violence, assault, and consent. By this point you've probably written a ten thousand word thesis (on this drama's thread alone) on how you feel about these issues and I've seen you use SJW as an insult more than once. I get that in that US now it's the new tag to get thrown around at folks who are tired of getting run over by unfair systems but I actually AM what you might call a SJW - like it's the actual job that I hold, in a real field of employment, that I get paid for, in real life, working for justice and preventing real violence and death in various communities around the US. So just fucking stop. I'm sure you can think of other ways to insult people on here - I mean, we've all seen that ability on display for a while now.
And maybe just be grateful that there are still some of us who care about justice in this country, because it just might even save your rude ass one day too, (or someone that you care about.)

OHMYWORD, this is the BEST. If I wasn't already obsessed with Ryusei, it would be a done deal by now, no question. The two leads are so precious together I can hardly stand it. The food looks amazing, and that view of Mt. Fuji?! #iwanttogotothere

Every review here is glowing, so why is the rating only 7.7?

Can you tell me where to see this?
