The school doctor no longer works at the school, and the student is now over 18, so there is no longer a teacher…
I swear, I was undecided about whether to read the comments because I was sure there would be a flood of accusations of grooming, uneducational behaviors and other nonsense. I decided to read and I must say they didn't let me down.
Got me thinking about the dangers of identitarianism. We expect others to treat us regardless of any labels, but at the same time, we are the first to think of ourselves in terms of the labels we have assigned ourselves.
Honestly I'm more invested in Shiho's character than the whole fake couple fiasco. Identify much? 😅
I have to admit that I’m here almost exclusively to see how they’ll pull off the most cringiestest scene ever in the live-action adaptation (and if you’ve read the manhwa, you know which one I’m talking about). Years have gone by, and even now, when I think about it, I laugh, shake my head, and cringe.
I don’t think he reproduced Gaysorn’s scent. From What I gathered (but I might be wrong) he created a perfume that reminded him of the Times he spent with Gaysorn: the forest, the city park, the sea and plus the peonia. Then he named it after him as an hommage. But yeah, I could be wrong as I didn’t really pay much attention
My unrequited advice to adult viewers Who may skip this series thinking it’s Just another teen drama. It’s not. It’s about teens but the way the story is told is not (Just) for a younger audience. It’s more of a coming of age. Give it a chance.
As many have already stated, I was sceptical at the beginning because the first episode… well, you know What I mean. I’m glad I still gave it a chance, as it got better and better after every episode. A really entertaining show, with a good plot, great cinematography, well rounded characters. A special mention goes to the beauty of Net and Kim, both gorgeous albeit of a different kind of beauty..
again f*** the brother and his dog bf ( will always hate this 2 characters)
The brother is really unsufferable. One minute he’s telling his big brother to forget about Lu Feng and the next he’s pushing him to be with him. Make up your mind once and for all! And also maybe mind your own business and let them be as codependent as they please 😉
Yeah he’s sexist. But… he’s also right? He assured the mom that she should take care of her health before…
He should have stopped at We leave you alone. The “love” comment isn’t offensive per se (perhaps because We are used to such sterotypical comments) but it says a lot about the man’s percepiton of women.
After this episode, I will be surprised if these two end up back together. They just fundamentally do not fit…
It's not just Japanese culture. In many parts of the world having a kid is the turning point for a woman's career and life. Many women do not go back to work, or have to reduce their job to a part-time (if possible) because they have to care for their children, while men are not affected in the slightest (she says in fact the her husband - while working in the same field - doesn't stop working). Having a child does not have the same impact on men and women on a social level. If you leave your job to care for your child for the first years of his life, it will be harder to find a new job later, and the companies will not hire you for fear of a new pregnancy or absence due to problems of different nature regarding your kids. Not the same for a man. Nobody expects him to not go to work because the kid is sick. In absence of specific laws (like for example mandatory paternity leave - like in some northern european countries -, or adequate childcare services) it's very hard for a woman to make maternity and career coexist. And this is one of the many reasons why, not only in Japan but in many other countries, birth rates are plummeting.
Shiho's boss feels so infuriating because people like him exist in real-life. Traditional, sexist, and narrow-minded.…
And I with you. Cause everybody knows women only talk about love, clothes and gossip, right? While men only talk about cars and football while drinking beer.
Honestly I'm more invested in Shiho's character than the whole fake couple fiasco.
Identify much? 😅
I'm enjoying it, though—the story is interesting and I'm curious to see where it's going.
