Thank you for this perspective.
It's going to enhance the watch for me going forward.

I'm lost.
I see him as a supporting player, but can't figure who he is in the story.

I hope you reach out in whatever way you choose, to ease that loneliness somehow.

Episode 5:
This has turned out to be a joy to behold

I was verklempt off and on through the entire episode.
Naoya is blooming like a long-folded flower, and as he opens up to the world, Sato is growing/changing in response.
While this is new and different for both of them, only good things are happening.
Their future is bright and promising, and I'm giddy/stupid in response. :)

Now, if only all this sunshine and happiness would lead Naoya to dump those hair extensions... they gag me. However, if they make him happy, I'll find a way to love them, too. :D

I adore that Naoya is so extremely beloved and valued at the restaurant.
His future is bright there, and he could go far.
I can see them moving him up quickly, but if he wants to continue as a waiter only, then that is just fucking fine.
It pisses me off when people demean those who choose a career in service jobs, as Naoya's gross dad and brother did. Seriously, screw them.
Service jobs such as waiting tables are essential and horribly underpaid.
I like that the show is commenting on that.

Sato is hot/sexy in all black and in a suit.
I hope they indulge their master/servant relationship and play those roles when they want, in the bedroom and wherever they choose.
Nothing wrong with that, either.

This show makes me happy. :)

Above it indicates that 2,200 of us are watching this show, but not many are commenting..?

The potentially really dark story of the brother/sister/tutor love triangle underneath the sunshine and giggles setting is what has me fascinated.
I mean, how can a satisfyingly angsty/dark situation emerge in that atmosphere?
I'm interested to see if they can pull it off convincingly or if that story will somehow disappear.
But how can that happen when the conflict is even built into the title?

Because the Blue Dragons are a joke.

Where the hell are all the awards so richly deserved by We Are All Trying Here on Netflix?

Koo Kyo Hwan and Go Youn Jung should easily have won Best Actor and Best Actress.
The show should have won best drama, hands down.

Do the Blue Dragons have a history of going to safe, middle-of-the-road dramas?

On edit:
Never mind...I just educated myself on how these awards are determined.
What a joke.

oops! The "stalker" is a dude!

Episode 5:
While at times it felt like an introductory video to Variations in Romantic Attachments 101, the scene with Ichiro and Kei's friend alone at the restaurant was lovely.
At the end of ep 4, I assumed the character who appeared was a young woman, which made this episode all the more interesting.

This is one of three BLs I'm following right now that aren't great, but they aren't terrible either, so I keep watching.
I'll be back next week. :)

I've got your manners right here, beeyatch.

Oh, I comprehend this deep, scholarly discussion just right.
Your side can be summarized by this evergreen bit of profound wisdom:
"Once a cheater, always a cheater," am I right?

You avoided my question, so I'll repeat it:
Are there different types and degrees of "_________________?"

Can you tell me the director's POV in a nutshell, please..?
Thanks. :)

Episode 6:
I googled the meaning of the word "mid" and the title of this show was one of the definitions.
It's far from great, but it's not horrible, so I keep coming back.
So he runs all that way, they share a mutual confession, embrace, and perform the obligatory JP mannequin kiss, and that's it..?
Not in the real world, it isn't.
In the real world, two young men in love who met up on the beach and confessed would share a mutual hand job and quite possibly a blow job, too.

What the hell are they going to do over the next six episodes?

Are there different types and degrees of "_________________?"

The person you're replying to is much too immature to get your point.

Consider growing up one day.

Two things:
MDLers LOVE to spoil plot points regarding something they are deeply, profoundly, self-righteously OUTRAGED about, especially about you-know-what.
It makes them feel morally superior; if you mind having that plot point spoiled, then YOU must think what the character did is OK, and you don't deserve NOT to have it spoiled!!! (yes, I'm rolling my eyes).

If you "hate" ALL "____________" and think every incident is black/white, you're too immature for this show in the first place.

Finally: Define "_______________s"

Perhaps you'll grow up one day.

The Red Envelope is both a laugh riot and deeply moving.
