Ah, me too, if that's ok

I always wonder if my detest for Hasumi was just me or subtly curated throughout the drama. I know part of it was because I (and hopefully everyone) hated who Sumire was around him. But also, I was always so uncomfortable when they were together. I flinched when they kissed, I groaned whenever I saw him coming towards her, and I even had a feeling of profound relief when she ran away rather than having sex with him. I know it was because I (and hopefully everyone) hated who Sumire was around him. But also, I thought he was too pushy, too self-centered/believed in his own goodness, convinced that Sumira was who he wanted, and didn't even really look at her. And when he noticed that he was getting a fumbling iceberg, he never even got close to seeing/experiencing her genuine self (he biffed hard on that one). I always felt his kisses were forced on her, and she only melted into them because she felt she should. I felt like she gaslighted herself into loving him, convinced that he was who she wanted because she had had a crush on him before, and he met all of her "requirements." Part of me thinks that the directors did it intentionally because we could see how different she was around him than Fukushima was. Sumire never jumped into his arms when she saw him, never showed enthusiasm to be around him, and Fukushima's happiness showed just how forced Sumire's smiles were, and how hesitant and unknowingly forced her reactions were around him. Also, I liked who he was around Fukushima as well. He was less awkward and didn't make me feel as grossed out when he was around her. So I think it was intentional by the directors and Sumire really thought she liked him for way too long (not in a the-directors-should-have-changed-it kind of way, ok yeah, you dragged out the pain a little too long, I would have liked it if she had gradually started waking up a little bit earlier in the drama. Make us even more convinced of her love for Takeshi.)

can someone spoil the end for me?

how do you know which kissasian to use? I get all these sketch pop-ups an they all have different .com's (domains?)

what's it called on Viki? I can't find it anywhere (or what region are you in?)

Thank goodness he's not acting across from Go Min Si again. Nothing against her, just having two actors acting across each other more than once takes away from the ... originality of the show. Thai dramas do it a lot and it becomes more about the actors than the show their acting in. And while Lee Do Hyun is literally the most talented actor alive and can do any role, I want to see him at his full potential, and each acting partner brings something new out of a person.

I'm interested by all the praise. I'd say it's fine. Better than average BL, but there are so many inexplicable leaps in logic and plot. It's... like it's based on a manga and the directors couldn't fit everything in, so they cut things out and did a poor job of sewing things back together. I can't give any show full ratings if I'm being left asking "why did so and so act that way, that doesn't correspond with the current circumstances or past interactions and events" every couple of minutes.

I'm glad they didn't give her a hard time for being ace. There is so little representation and it could have been so easy to make her the bad guy. The lack of awareness of the ace identity is to blame! (the ace said with indignance)

I wonder if we could consider Kaori ace or demi? (Asexual or demisexual for those not in the loop)

The clips I've seen of this show him throwing her around a lot. Like a lot a lot. It looks like no's are ignored (in non-sexual, but equally important settings). Did anyone else notice this? Did anyone feel uncomfortable? Here's an example video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9slEDew0kvI&t=14s

Does anyone know the song at the end of the fourth ep? (It might have been throughout, but that was when I really noticed it and fell in love with it.)

So the third bandmate was actually gay, right? The subtitles are not the best

I wish I could subscribe for alerts on MDL so I know when these finally come out. I lose track and then miss them!

So true and so very sad. D:

Yayayayayayayay! Thank you so much

OMG, VPN here I come! (I will know this soon if my VPN works, but is it 2 or 4 episodes for you? iQiyi has 2 for the lowest subscription level and 4 for the higher one and I would give anything (except my money I guess) to watch the next two episodes. It will pop into my head periodically throughout the day and I don't know why I'm so excited!

Thank you!!!

That's about right. Yes. Totally. Yep. About what I understood. Yep.

I see some comments saying it's also on GagaOOlala, but it's not available on Gaga in my region. Which regions have access to it on Gagaoolala?

I wish there were more places to watch it so even more people could enjoy it.
