They hung a lantern on his hair in episode 4 by having the doctor comment on it and try to cut it. Super funny, and by doing that, they acknowledged that his hair probably needs cutting for the character, but for reasons probably related to Kame's other work, they couldn't actually cut it. I mean, who knows how much his hair is worth? It's probably insured for a crazy amount.

A Forest of Wool and Steel is subbed now. :)

Kento has such a crazy filmography! The only one to beat him for bizarre stories would be Suda!

It's nice that so much manga is getting a live-action since I don't always read manga, but do enjoy the adaptations. I've never read "Your Lie in April" or watched the anime, but thoroughly enjoyed the film. I'm sure it helps them reach a broader audience.

Very quirky and fun.

Glad to see someone uploaded a new picture for him!

Jdrama "Around 40" is really excellent, one of my favorites, and approaches the age gap more realistically. "Your Eyes Tell" is a pretty good J movie, but only if you like sports incorporated into your films.

And I don't think he is in Hot-Blooded Youth either since he sounds like he did in Brightest Star. And they have outtakes at the end of the episodes with him speaking and it sounds like him. That's pretty cool that he's not dubbed. He has such a unique, fun voice.

So I assume that means you don't know if he's dubbed or not? He would have to have the same dubbing actor for all his roles, which isn't impossible, I guess. It's just that he always sounds the same when he talks so I'm leaning towards no, Tao probably isn't dubbed.

Curious to know if Z Tao always voices his own voice. It would be very strange for a pop star with such an iconic style to be dubbed, but I'm assuming that unless his dubbed voice is always the same person (since he always sounds the same), that is is actually Tao speaking?

Dubbed voices usually don't bother me, although sometimes, like you said, the dubbed voice and the physical actor just don't match and then it feels off. I still prefer natural voices, but if this is what works for China, then it's what works.

Issei is amazing. This is my first time watching a drama with him in a leading role and I am super impressed.

Ok, I am literally just 10 minutes into the 1st episode and I'm already laughing so much! I'm loving it! It's just going to be one of those snarky dramas, I can tell already!

Based on all of the positive comments, I would say yes, it's probably worth the time.

I think what you're talking about is being swept along in the moment. That's how one-night stands happen, not deep, meaningful relationships.

I'll keep that in mind. I think if I can track down Japanese subs then I can probably sub it. That's what I'm on the hunt for now.

Hi! You can watch it without having seen the parent story. I haven't seen the parent story either and I got through it just fine. The relationships between the ML and his colleagues becomes pretty self-explanatory as the special progresses. It was a really excellent psychological special. I hope you enjoy it if you decide to watch it.

It comes back around to the problem of wanting to love something because it gives us warm fuzzies and forgetting there should actually be boundaries when we're dealing with children. Like I said, Junko was clueless (impossibly so), so I can't really blame her here. But Asia's winking at student/teacher relationships even when there's rules in place to try and safeguard against it just absolutely blows my mind. At least this particular drama doesn't let their relationship get off the ground until after he's 18. So in that, I applaud it. Anyway, it's not worth discussing further since I'm totally in the minority with this one. Oh well.

The only reason it doesn't end up being seriously cringey is because Junko was clueless. Right up until the end. Because she wasn't chasing Yuri, that's the only reason I didn't hate it. I work in a child protection role so I take this type of thing very seriously. People like to romanticize abuse if it seems cute, but it's still abuse. Minors need to be protected by the adults in their lives. BUT, like I said, because Junko was clueless, I can pretty much forgive her. I still think the drama is ridiculous and would NEVER work in reality with their age gap. In 10 years, they're gonna be done. But fiction rarely reflects reality. A real person would have chosen Yamashita, hands' down, and Yuri would have gone on to fall in love with a girl his own age. Just sayin'.

It was a restaurant that technically minors weren't supposed to be allowed in. I'm guessing they had fake IDs. From what I can tell, Yamapi's global career is doing fine so despite the craziness of last year, his reputation hasn't really tanked. So it probably wasn't as serious of a matter as the tabloids made it out to be. :)

It was cute earlier on when she was his relationship coach. That's when he was doing all of the dating type stuff and I really liked him then. They were cute. Now that they're a couple, he's chopping down boundaries like crazy. He doesn't seem to have much respect for her anymore. It's probably just that in the end, this drama isn't to my taste. I may drop it, we'll see.
