Shook but also expected this from the previous preview. Lotta stuff happening right now and am really curious about next ep

Same! I love some of the old JBLs for their ridiculous nature.

Yes because its a BL and nothing wrong with that. A lot of this site consists of BL fans so to have a drama become more succesful because it has BL content is not some sort of surprise. There's way less jdrama fans than BL fans on MDL and its been that way for a while.

I do agree its true that a bunch of BLs in the recent past have been less exaggerated. Like His 2019 or Kinou nani tabeta? 2019 were way toned down in comparison to this.

I will say there was an age of JBL (pre 2018) where the exaggerated label definitely applied bigtime. If you are more familiar with these early 2010s JBLs then yes Kieta Hatsukoi (and other recent JBLs) have been a whole different vibe. It was the wild west out there with titles such as Fujimi Orchestra or Same Difference or Candy and Kiss or even the entire Takumi-kun series which was pretty ridiculous at times. So there is definitely a line upwards to realism overall if we take into account all released BLs from Japan over the years, it really depends on what you're used to.

Unfortunate to hear you don't like Japanese comedy in shows. But yes its one of the genres as you can see on this drama page. I really like it myself so haven't really been bothered by it. Does it take away from the seriousness? Mayby but the overall atmosphere feels really light for the majority of the time and I don't dislike that myself.

I can see some elements from that battle scene reflected in this one yes but I personally don't mind as long as the endproduct is nice. It was on a way smaller scale anyway, just a nice battle scene between all the calmer stuff.

I need more context behind his story as well. But yeah its him.
Not only did we get that shoulder scar but also the same way of handling an arrow ''the swingy thing'' as the assassin. And he acted sus by snooping around in the palace in different outfit.

What we know regarding this is that his father got killed as a traitor (flashback ep 8).

I think that he signed up for killing the next royal in line because of that out of revenge for his father. He had failed in the hunt to kill her so he just joined the guard to get close to her. Through that he found out that killing her wouldn't actually be that impactful for the royal house and now he has his sights on bigger targets in the royal family. So he's kinda sorta? ally now but still could turn against them depending on if she and Ji Woon stand in his way. But Ga On has nothing to gain from the crown prince dying for now it seems since he protected her.

Warscene was awesome and I'm loving the storyline. But I'm mainly here for the super sweet brother-sister bond between FL and Zhuo Ying instead of the romance. That can still change down the road of course but their bond is a great part of the drama.

It does look promising ^^ See you on that dramapage too soon then XD

Its oki! But yeah its just a show and I'm just here to enjoy it too ^^

That varries from woman to woman. Some feel pain and others don't feel anything at all. So I can still believe to some extent she just won the genetic lottery on that one. But yes that could've been an additional issue too.

Oh the episode amount never changed from 10 but other things could've changed yes. This is an issue which started from basically the first week of KH airing so its a longterm thing.

You can try starting this next one soon too:

It airs pretty soon and its also a school JBL.

Are you sure? It says unlicensed which I assume means they haven't picked up the license of Kieta Hatsukoi yet. But if this means that they 100% will in the future then that's great ^^

Thank you, mayby they will fix it but I know some issues are just left like they are if it isn't deemed worth fixing.

I suspected the reason being BL too (as it has happened before around early 2020) but its weird that they would solely apply it to Japan and not for the rest of the countries. Mayby to see if it would affect popularity as a comparison to Cherry Magic? Whatever the case, at least its back in the overall airing list now.

I also get the whole ''but what about the manners!!'' thing but its a bit silly. Lets be real here in reality a woman pretending to be a male royal would've been caught very very quickly. One unfortunate accident and a doctors visit and its over. So I can't really take the nitpicking about behaviour very seriously. Just enjoy the romance ride.

''Although you're a man and the crownprince of this nation. I.. love you.''

Tears, that reminded me so much of Coffee Prince. Loving the characters but not ready for the upcoming sadness when Ji Woon has to leave.

The music always gets me so emotional T-T episode 9 no exception. Great episode!!!!

Home page of MDL -> Top Airing Shows. (right side of screen in browser)
Then click on the one for Japan. It shows Kamen Rider Revice on number 1 currently.

Wow I just checked the airing list and its there.... Thats weird. It wasn't on the airing jdrama list for like its entire airtime.

I'm interested to see if the MDL home page will update to have Kieta Hatsukoi included in top 5 (after like 5 weeks) since it has been the top airing jdrama from basically the moment episode 1 aired. The system sure is confusing yes
