Do you consider murder to be a behavior that is "OK?" Well hello...it's the main plot point in a zillion films. Where did you get the idea that only behaviors deemed "OK" are to be featured in film/dramas?
Yes! Eager to find out what he has been hiding all this time and why he's so bizarre.
oooh...wow, I completely forgot that. You just inspired me to binge the first five eps before #6. This is one of the first Japanese BLs that's worth doing that. But we miss so much on the first watch...I watch all movies I like at least twice, because I pick up on an incredible amount of info I missed first time around.
lol As soon as I read your quote above, even before I got to the end of your sentence, I thought "serial killer!" hahaha That might be a bit much, but this show has been so well written to this point, who knows? Maybe they could pull it off. :)
Perhaps he's up to something like that or worse, and feels dirty and unworthy because of it, and that's why he refuses to be intimate with Sei. That makes a twisted sort of sense.
Lol, you say the guy who is abusive, neglectful, controlling and just an ass to Sei is actually loving him? Only…
It's actually bizarre how hard you're working to make Fuji seem sympathetic despite his sadistic/controlling/abusive behavior. Oh well, maybe there will be some huge revelation that will explain all of that and we'll all go rushing to Fuji's side. Who knows? But I doubt it....
Oh yes, I was picturing them on the office table 😏❤️🔥
haha me too! Love the use of the glass wall to separate them. They can see each other but something invisible is keeping them apart. That said, Sei didn't call Hagisawa just to let him out of there...
The fact that Kaori can just pick up Kazuaki's phone and scroll through it looking at messages beggars belief.…
ummm...not disagreeing but a lot of phones can be set so they automatically turn off encryption in specific locations, such as an apartment or house, so the user doesn't have to deal with it at home. Plus, he hasn't had to worry about the psycho looking at his phone before because she's long been completely uninterested in him. I wondered the same as you but then realized it actually was plausible.
For those that have read the book, does it have a happy ending?
I will never, ever understand people who ask this question and others like it. Also, adaptations often vary widely from their source material, even in how they end.
Episode 5: Good heavens, this just keeps getting better and better...one of the best BLs I've seen and perhaps eventually the best of all out of Japan. This episode is of such depth and layering I'm going to need to watch it at least one more time to catch everything. The hotel scene and next morning dialogue had me guessing and wondering and going "what the hell...?" and then "but wait...what?" etc. over and over. Excellent writing.
"We're both crazy..." Truer but more joyous words are rarely spoken. Often, one has to go a little crazy to find peace and sanity on the other side.
Sei breaks my heart with how he's shut himself down, and how hard he works to pretend nothing hurts him and that nothing matters, when we know there's a tumultuous sea roaring inside him. :D (To be a tad melodramatic.) Also, Sei takes my breath away with that stunning chest of his; the most beautiful I believe I've seen on such a scrawny guy. Thank you, Ito Asahi.
Note to director: Two men cannot have butt sex face-to-face without the receptive partner raising his legs, preferably behind his ears. Please correct this blocking mistake going forward. That said, I love that they didn't kiss at all until the next morning when Hagisara finally couldn't control himself, when the last wall fell down. We built to that through the entire hotel scene the night before and then the smooch. Beautifully climactic and dramatic. Bravo.
I'm a bit bummed that the ever-so-tired top/bottom thing was predictably telegraphed and acted out here...not one ounce of imagination or creativity in that regard. Just once I'd love to see a BL surprise us in that way. It seems no BL director has ever heard the gay sexuality term "versatile."
I love that the two "partners" are becoming darker and weirder with each episode. Fujisawa having picked up Sei's phone and the way it was revealed to the viewer was majorly creepy and excellent. I actually gasped. :) How dare either one of them perform shock and anger at this point. Give me a break. Both are manipulative, sadistic douche bags. I actually laughed at the GF having smashed Sei's gift and rushed off in a huff, pretending to be all offended. Pleeeeeeeease...
Can't wait for ep. 6. Looks like we're going to finally see something resembling human emotion from the sadists.

Worst Korean actress of all time.

Seek a clue.
Also, stop "heart-ing" your own comments.
Get some self-awareness.
