Hikari no Naka

I have high hope that they will hold hands next week! Official-san said that Adachi will experience a heart-warming feeling for the first time next week. And isn't it quite normal for couples to hold hand on their first date? ^_^

For me, this drama has raised the bar for both BL and non BL, it really has the complete package (looks, acting, story, directing, meticulous details and amazing songs/BGM). I can hardly think of any other drama that touches me so much like this one.

Yes, the forever dilemma of "suki da" xD I haven't seen the translation for Kurosawa's confession, but I think for his case, it's pretty fitting to be translated as "I'm in love with you" since well.. it's clear that he's been in love for so long. But for Adachi's, he's just figured out his feelings, he likes Kurosawa but if he says "I'm in love with you" it feels rather heavy and doesn't really fit his character at this stage. But again, it's not easy to perfectly translate a language so I guess at the end it doesn't really matter as long as the audience gets the message.

I saw some WeTV clips from Twitter, they looks OK but I also still like Irozuku's subs since I think his/her translation does not only literally translate from Japanese to English but also takes into account the nuance and the story's context. For example, WeTV translates Adachi's confession "I'm in love with you", which I think it's rather strong considering the the plot. "I like you" should fit better.

Anyone here can access WeTV with VPN? Mine doesn't work, I don't know what the issue is..

Lover's instinct? (not) lol.

I really don't think so, as everywhere else, home cooked is surely more healthy than take-aways/convenient store meals. They can be quite high in salt/sugar, but maybe compared to western meals, Japanese meals are still considered healthier since they contain more veggies and fish.

As always, thanks for your hard work!! :))

Welcome to CM club! There is no need to be shy, in fact, this is also the first time for me to actively participate in the discussion of a drama (I really never into any fandom before), but I love this drama so much that I want to contribute what I can if that helps to make more people aware and love this drama. And as you can see everyone here is warm and welcoming, so please make yourself at home :)

They will release more details later, hopefully it will be something interesting :)

I think this is a good thing, since this way Japanese BLs can differentiate themselves from other countries' BLs and I've seen them stepping up their games in terms of story, acting and directing. It will definitely appeal to a more mature different audience which is different from those school-themed BLs audience. I think we really need more adult setting BLs since those school-themed ones have been so overused now. FYI, as far as I know, majority of BL audience in Japan are more adult/mature women thus we can expect more adult-setting BLs coming out from Japan.

Does it mean we can keep our hope for a season 2 or an SP? ^_^

It's not mentioned, so I guess it wasn't trending there.

It seems there will be a spin-off aired on 24/12 on Tsutaya Premium channel. Will it be Tsuge's side story??

Ep7 was trending worldwide #5, Japan #1, Thailand #2, Vietnam #3
Well done guys!!

I can't wait for the all flirty Kurosawa and flustered Adachi! Oh so much fun!

To think that we only have 5 more eps to drool over..I'm already sad...

Lol so true!!

I thinks Kurosawa says "Even though you wanna run, I won't let you go anymore". Talking about possessiveness!! *squeals*

He is the same age as Adachi (they are peers) and he doesn't have the magic since he apparently has been very popular and must have lost his virginity before..

The whole time I was thinking that maybe it's better if Adachi doesn't wear a backpack so that Kurosawa can hug him tighter...*sigh*
