Amane catching a cold in the rain is a BL trope as old as time, yet the director managed to not make it a cringe-fest, which is a feat in itself. The scene was handled with a finesse that kept my face from contorting into a cringe, a small victory for clichés everywhere!
Ah, "My Personal Weatherman," where the heartbeats sync but emotions often misfire. It's like watching two dashing men, speaking the same love language yet hailing from different emotional planets. They’re drawn together by the magnetic pull of affection, tethered by invisible heartstrings, yet, oh boy, when it comes to syncing up emotionally, it's as if they're using high-tech translators with a penchant for misreading the room. The poetic irony! They resonate yet miscommunicate, like a pair of aesthetically pleasing, emotionally clumsy aliens trying to decode the language of love, amidst a meteor shower of misinterpreted feelings. Ah, the cosmic comedy of romantic resonance and dissonance!
If you had to choose one who would you say is your least favorite charactor?
Oh, the delicate dance of disdain! When it comes to picking the lesser of two posh evils, Top and Ray, it's like choosing between a poke in the eye or a kick on the shin. Both heirs to the throne of affluence, with a bouquet of irksome traits to their name. Yet, Ray, with his penchant for a tipple and a pill, often gets handed the sympathy card. Top, on the other hand, oh dear, I can't find a single feather in his cap worth applauding.
The moment Top set his romantic sights on Mew, my eyes rolled so far back, they almost saw the inside of my head. His attempt at wooing Mew with a 'passionate sketch' was less heart-melting, more gut-churning. I'm here, arms wide open, for any Top aficionado to step into the ring of debate, maybe they can sketch a more flattering picture of him that could sway my disdain. Ah, the whimsy of whims I harbor!
thank you so much for this adorable and sweet review. season 1 has been my comfort series since I began watching…
Thank you for chiming in! It's heartwarming to see many enjoying this show. Currently soaking up the drama live on TV here in Japan. If you're hunting for a legal streaming haven, GagaOOLala's the place. Yet, brace yourself, as the subtitle translations might stage a little comedy of errors. A neat trick? Scour through the threads on MyDramaList - there’s often a good Samaritan recommending fansubs. Some generous subbers even drop translation notes, serving as a nifty bridge for us Western viewers to traverse the cultural nuances. Happy drama binging!
Many Asian BL dramas don’t play by Chekhov’s rules, and spoiler alert: no one’s dying in this show!
Well, my dear friend, in the wild world of online speculation, it's a bit like detective work with a sprinkle of gossip, isn't it? We're all hoping for the best, but as Sherlock might say, "The truth is rarely pure and never simple." So, while we take scriptwriter Jojo at their word, let's keep our fingers crossed and our conspiracy theories in check, shall we? 🕵️♂️😄
This is from Tumblr by @chawarin-panich / chawarin-panich.tumblr.comThat I agree with wholeheartedly!"Nick is…
Whoever penned this has a PhD in Love Dynamics and a side gig in comedy! It’s like reading a romantic saga, but with punchlines. Kudos to the writer – you've got Nick-level charm with words! 😂🖋🌟
Absolutely! Life's not always a tidy love story, and neither is drama. Sometimes, we've just got to let the script, not the ship, steer the show. And hey, college sweethearts? More like college sweet-starts!
I hate to rain on the parade since so many are rooting for their favorite pairs to get a fairy tale ending. But deep down, I wrestle with the idea. I lean towards them drifting back to just being friends, or even growing apart. Maybe a Season 2 could make some realize: perhaps they're better off not as lovers. 🍃🤷♂️🌌
Please bear with me; this is my imagination of the conclusion of Season 1 and the beginning of Season 2.
Boston & Nick: Sometimes, the real value isn’t in the destination, but in the journey we take together. Boston, with a passion for photography, decides to chase his dreams in New York, leaving Nick hopeful for another chapter in their love story. Season 2 may usher in adventures after Boston’s return to Thailand, reuniting with Nick or scripting a fresh chapter.
Ray & Sand: Love isn’t a panacea, especially when battling the allure of addiction. Ray seeks redemption in rehab but remains entangled in the web of addiction. Sand, on the other hand, seeks solace in the music scenes of the UK. However, when Ray decides to start afresh in a new land, Season 2 sets the stage for their unexpected reunion abroad.
Mew & Top: As Mew moves into Top’s luxurious apartment, their passions reignite. But with Mew dreaming of adoption and a family, and Top hesitating, Mew starts to wonder: is love truly enough, or is there someone else more aligned with his dreams? Season 2 promises a deeper dive into their conflicts and choices.
This is genuinely a well-acted and well-directed series, with nuance and hidden allegorical meaning speckled in…
Leveraging your summary, I totally get where you're coming from. This story had my brain doing somersaults too, and I bet we're not alone in the brain-gymnastics club!
I've seen some attribute it to nuances in Japanese (or broader Asian) culture. But let's dive into my personal take, shall we?
The definition of love is, honestly, one of life's biggest mysteries. Isn't it wild how love can look so different to everyone? What's endearing to one might be head-scratching to another. But the real kicker is trying to figure out what the author was aiming for. Perhaps it's about the delightful absurdities that exist in romantic relationships? Because, let's face it, love between any two folks can be a wild, quirky, and sometimes puzzling ride. Cheers to the wacky world of love, right? 😄

I recall multiple commenters mentioning that scriptwriter Jojo confirmed no one's biting the dust in the show. Might wanna skim through the comments, but hey, it's a long scroll!
When you love someone for years, a painful one at that, it's hard to get over it. Those feelings are etched so…
I love how you describe the heart and brain! It's a cool take on emotions vs logic. That analogy about the body moving without us realizing is spot on. Thanks for sharing – it's got me thinking!
Aside from people who are fans of the pre-established pairs, is this a good show to watch?
Dare to dive into love's forbidden dance? Where lines blur, souls wander, and passions burn. Can you handle this raw BL journey where shadows meet self-care/redemption?
