Based on my observation, it's mostly because of people who didn't even finish watching the drama (mostly dropped…
I agree I think a lot of people didn't like the first few episodes and rated it low because of that and just dropped it. I initially thought this was just ok and I was obsessed with Kieta Hatsukoi.. by the end of both.. I ended up liking this show way more.
I really am updating my rating to a 10.. cause this deserves more than a 7.7 on here , y'all do better studio wabi sabi keeps delivering.. this show is so goood.
if I'm being given a boy love story in 2022 and there are no kisses.. it's just baiting at this point... that's why sometimes with asian BL shows I feel like they don't portray enough of how real relationships are.. when u are in love there is kissing and a whole lot of it. that's why shows like heartstopper, love victor we need more english BL shows cause when they come out they captivate audiences cause it shows real relationships. I always find it weird how all BL shows people have no issues with the people being gay.. they are always pretty accepting.. when in reality it's never like that... asian BL's rarely show homophobia and I'm not sure if they ever showed bullying and that's a major issue real gay people deal with when coming out.. so in all my essay I just want authentic stories.
the lack of kiss for me in cherry magic ruined it for me.. and then the elevator stuff giving off the illusion of a kiss made it worse.. I haven't heard about Cherry Magic the movie yet but if they got married and still no kiss... that clearly means the actors didn't want to.. which turns me off even more.
this having a 7.9 while kieta has a 8.4 baffles me.. but I guess people don't like the toxic elements of this and enjoy the fluff of kieta.. but to me this is the best Japanese Bl I've ever seen
the confession scene by Kiyoi in the classroom scene in the last episode broke me.. it was such a powerful scene for me. this is the Best Japanese BL I've ever seen and I'm happy it's getting a movie sequel. let's get this to over 8.0/ I'm not sure why it's at 7.9
Insane how all the actors from Why R U are still connected in these series together (zee/max/nat/tommy/jimmy) all came from why r u and now are in 3 series that are set in the same universe.
