I was excited about this couple but found both characters extremely annoying. One acting like a neurotic woman…
It feels like early days BL- a lowkey abusive Seme incapable of overtly expressing affection and an Uke that is severly lacking in confidence to the point where they go along with whatever the Seme wants. Two-dimensional writing. But at least they're treated as equal to the male equivalent I guess...
Patiently waiting to see what kind of insanely twisted traumatic backstory MAME has in store for this bottom, so far it looks more tame than usual (will he be spared of the usual SA?).
This reminds me of Ride or Die tbh (the movie not tje manga). Very unlikeable characters and a really questionable representation of what it's like to be a lesbian who married a man. It's quite ambitious and just misses its mark completely.
I'm glad to have finally found a PondPhuwin series I like. I've had a feeling that I'd enjoy the pairing were it not for the somewhat disappointing plots of Fosh In The Sky and Never Let Me Go. Though I'm still not sure whether I genuinely enjoy their acting and chemistry or if I just like Pond's face...
Shoma (Kazuma) might save this god awful series for real. Not only is he a delight to look at, but it seems like he brings to life everyone around him.
Unfortunately, there is nothing unique about this BL. It has cliche characters, a cliche plot, cliche BL tropes…
It has tropes and clichés, but I do believe said tropes are quite well executed. The dialogue isn't cringe, the plot doesn't drag (for now), the characters are mature and likeable and even though we know what will eventually happen, it's a pleasure to watch it play out. I was pretty surprised by the quality of this because I had expected it to be smutty nonsense with sub-par acting, but it's definitely not that. As for 'cliché lgbtq+ roles' I'm not quite sure what you mean, I believe it's the first BL to feature an asexual character too.
Episode 1 part 1&2: Context? Who needs it? Characters that draw you in and reveal themselves in time as you grow attached to them? Pussy shit! Start your first episode in the middle of ongoing conflicts! (Not-)introducing: rude, and aggressive but overall uncommunicative and two dimensional main character and her stylist who is her... Friend? Ex-girlfriend? but is leaving her for her arch nemesis because???????????????? Fret not! Soon enough we'll get a melodramatic flash-back that changes nothing because it doesn't justify or even make sense of anyone's shitty behaviour in any way! But hohoho let's switch back to the present where we've reached a big equally vague "romantic" emotional climax that feels entirely superficial and under-built because we have no idea who these people are!
Episode 1 part 3&4: oh actually, one of them is just being blackmailed by a lesbophobe and refuses to tell anyone about it, preferring to let people assume she's evil because... GL logic
