MuTeLuv consists of 7 independent stories, all of which are 4 episodes long.

Fridays and Saturdays.

Definitely be careful sharing this around publicly. It will probably be short-lived enough as is.

Based on the trailer alone, this is Only Friends' cousin, "Just Pals"🤧

In the subs I have access to, I'd say the references are explained fairly well, but even then you basically need some pre-existing knowledge of how the Japanese language works to really get it.

Can't tell if them visibly easing up on the AI usage this episode is because people kept complaining or not.
I think I only saw two AI generated images this time around, which is a drastic reduction from the other episodes so far, counting specifically those that were added in post as it's easier to replace those than physical images that may/may not have been on set during filming.

Edit: Lol it was definitely a coincidence. Not surprised.

According to jisho, 沙羅 is either Japanese stewartia or sal tree. Also 沙 is the kanji for 'sand' and that kind of fits in with the hourglass imagery from the opening.

AI doesn't make art, but even if it did, my answer is still no.

Yes, I feel the same way! That being said, I did kind of get comphet vibes from episode 5, so who knows at this point lol

To be fair, the tags do say "gay male lead." Whether that is accurate or not, I do not know, though.

When I say "I want to be proven wrong," I'm talking about the series. I'm not saying anyone else should prove me I'm wrong. That is no one else's job but the series', and two episodes in, it's unfortunately not looking good.

I technically can, but I won't. I'm sorry.

You can also watch the cut version legally on YouTube for free. Please consider doing that to actually support the series.

You pay extra to watch episodes one week early. It also only works on the mobile app (which includes tablet) if I'm not mistaken, which might make it less worth it for certain people (me)

It's perfectly fine to talk about it, just make sure you mark it as a spoiler first! Not everyone watches it as it airs, and some people might come across your comment and get spoiled by something they didn't even consider could possibly happen. I know I sometimes take a quick scroll through comments to see if a series might be worth checking out or not, so please always remember to mark spoilers as spoilers — doesn't matter how long ago it aired. Err on the side of caution, as they say.

Can confirm the rest are het lol

I think they chose Sara because it's phonetically close to "Cirrus." That appears to be one of the ways they name characters since LITA JP (Rain --> Rei; Sky --> Kai; Tongrak --> Rakumoto; Mahasamut --> Muto)
I'd need to see the kanji used for his name to say if that has any further relevance, though.

Edit: It appears both Sara and Fuu are named after trees this time?

It seems like the thing most people appear to have an issue with is the editing.

Them immediately jumping the gun and calling you a sasaeng over a fantasy is absolutely insane behavior. I'm sorry you had to experience that, and I'm sorry I made you think I was attacking you as well when that was never my intention.
