Why do you feel the need to police what other people say?
If you like the show, go ahead and enjoy it; no one is stopping you

"Can we really not enjoy anything anymore?"
I don't know about you, but I enjoy lots of things, from the gooey butter cake I made earlier today, to the Korean gay short film I watched last night. I'm even enjoying parts of this show, but overall, it's not great.
I choose to keep watching for now; perhaps it will improve, perhaps it won't. Perhaps I will drop it, perhaps I will hate-watch to the end; it's none of your concern.

"Can we stop complaining for a second and actualy be greatful for something that's given to us?" (It's "grateful," not "greatful.")
This is objectively hilarious, especially the "given to us" part. Are you the director's mom? One of the lead's aunt? Should we thank the Lord above for whatever the show makers put in front of us? :D
"We" don't have to do anything other than what we choose to do in reaction to what we see on the screen.
Meanwhile, "you" can do whatever you want.
Maybe block everyone in this thread who dares to discuss how weak this show is...? That might ease your mind.

Sounds to me like you're mad at yourself for being "titillated," but taking out your anger on everyone but yourself.

It's OK to be titillated. It's very human.

Kind of an embarrassment to the original Addicted series.
This has the feel of a mid-to-lame Thai BL, from the bad acting to the stupid music cues telling us every emotion we're supposed to feel, whereas 2016 remains in a class by itself and the farthest thing from a Thai BL that I can imagine.

This is NOTHING like the original.
You'd think there'd be an attempt to capture the same vibe. If there was, the effort was a dismal failure.

One episode at a time is more than enough.
I've a feeling it will take me a long time to finish this, assuming I don't drop it.

Thanks. :)

"Are you ready to descend into their dark, bloody, and tear-soaked path to retribution? "

Yes! Yes! Yes!

No, translation isn't the problem.
Lily Malice has a documented history of making the absolute worst out of anything even hinted at about a celebrity.

hahaha
Same. When the model started breaking up with him, I was like "who the hell is she talking about?"

It was downright weird how the writers/director made NO effort to convince us that either ML was the slightest bit straight, or capable of having a female romantic partner. Hilarious.

Once they've released all of the episodes, many of these little YT studios put together a video that stitches them all into one, longer "short film."

F off, Killer Knetz.

F**k off, Killer Knetz.

Thanks!

lol

I don't watch 90% of BLs that are produced. If you think I leave comments under "every BL possible," it's because you're stalking me.

This show is made just for you.
You make up fantasies in your head and project them onto the screen in place of what's there.
Where a story has holes and inconsistencies, you fill in the blanks from the same source.
You're afraid of gay male sexuality, so you are comforted by these absurd depictions of men acting as if they've been neutered, and who behave irrationally in a hundred other ways.

Enjoy, Little Girl!

Yup, just as I suspected!
After perusing the squealing Little Girl comments below, it's clear this show is to be enjoyed by the JBL Takara-kun & Amagi-kun/Our Dining Table crowd, wherein fluff is king, cute is queen, boys are stupid, and have had their sex drives surgically removed, so as not to scare the Little Girls with their icky erections and stuff.

Did you find it at all credible that she, or any other woman, was this obviously gay man's "girlfriend?" There was zero spark or sense of couple-dom between them. I laughed.

Episodes 1-4

Had potential, but so far is blowing its chances.
Leads are appealing, but script and plot are weak, and rely far too heavily on cliche'd storytelling devices.
Wataru, who narrates, and from whose perspective the story is told, is played as if on the spectrum. Inumerable clues are ignored, dismissed, or overlooked completely, just like we've seen in a hundred other Jbls.

I'll keep watching now that I'm caught up and will get a week-long break between episodes.
It's not a hate-watch, I don't feel strongly enough about it to qualify as one.

But, Minato's demeanor and neck are sexy, so there's that.

I am the opposite of a "McDonald's BL fan."
I love the unexpected, the quirky, and the unusual, including slow burns.
But slow burns have to be done well, and I'm bored out of my skull at this point.
Every story has already been told. Where creativity and originality arise is through HOW the story is told, right? But this one is counting off cliche after cliche after cliche in how the slow burn is being presented. I'm mystified where you're seeing something new in this show.

Unexplained, irrational separations of TEN YEARS between people who were inseparable. Neither of them has a phone?
One, who apparently was NOT afraid, still disappeared for ten years, then shows up and says "move in." Really?
WAY too many cutesy attempts at fluff and sunshine scenes that don't work between these characters. Several times, I felt I was watching "Bad Buddy" or some other nonsense.
Out of nowhere, Wataru has a what? Girlfriend? Wait...WHAT? In what universe is this guy not entirely and obviously gay, and why were we given zero indication of this and earlier "girlfriends," other than through exposition?
During ep 1, the first time Wataru mentioned that they "each have girlfriends," I laughed out loud.
The sudden appearance of Wataru's parents, who we're to find quirky and adorable. So...where have they been up to that point?
Oh, and the group scenes and the fluff, let's-take-photos-togther scenes...pure cringe. Bad acting all around. Everyone trying too hard. It's like watching community theatre where everyone in the chorus overacts.

I'll keep watching because I like Minato and his neck.
I found the show today and binged 1-4 to catch up, and that was a slog; I skipped ahead during 3 and 4, but still, not much happened.
But now that I'm on schedule and can take it one 24-minute drag at a time, I'll be able to stick with it. Surely, I can endure 24 minutes...?

Episodes 1-4

Not bad, as low-budget Internet series go.
Considered against its peers, this is above average, at least so far.

The little guy is carrying the show. He's a good actor, with natural charisma and charm far bigger than he is. :) When I first saw him, I was like "who's this goofy little guy?" But by halfway through ep 1, I wanted to eat him like an ice cream sundae.

While watching, I realized I've never made out with someone wearing braces. Seems like that would be potentially painful, awkward at best.

I try to wait until all have dropped, then binge them as if they were a short film.

Punctuation is a thing.

What is the other one?
