Was I missing a part?
During a live a fan asked if there was abuse in the drama and the FL said no and the ML looked appalled. Yes, there was a lot of toxicity. Her dad seemed like a genuinely kind person and her bio mom was a terrible person. Only taking one child? sheesh. The two leads had good chemistry but I feel like they kept leading up to a scene... that never happened. I liked the aunt and FLs relationship the best of all the dynamics on the show. Still sad about the dad.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
A Beautiful, Poetic And Hypnotic Cinematic Masterpiece!
Drowning Love (2016) is a phenomenal, highly artistic, and intensely raw Japanese coming-of-age film that completely captivates your senses. It stands out as a unique visual poem driven by deep symbolism, atmospheric moods, and a destructive adolescent passion.Story (9.5/10):The narrative is abstract, complex, and heavily psychological. Following a successful teen model who moves to a quiet coastal town and falls into an intense, obsessive relationship with a wealthy, wild local boy, the plot avoids all typical romance clichés. Instead of a straightforward storyline, it relies on metaphors of gods, nature, and the trauma of losing innocence. While the confusing editing and artistic ambiguity can leave you scratching your head, the sheer emotional weight of their toxic yet profound bond keeps you completely hooked.Acting & Cast (10/10):Masaki Suda and Nana Komatsu delivered absolute masterclass, iconic performances with an electric, almost dangerous on-screen chemistry. Nana Komatsu perfectly captures the mixture of vanity, vulnerability, and resilience. Masaki Suda is absolute perfection as the untamable, brooding, and fiercely proud Koh. Their intense glances, raw desperation, and silent understanding create a legendary dynamic that feels incredibly visceral and unforgettable.Overall:Drowning Love is a mandatory 10/10 watch for anyone who appreciates breathtaking, high-aesthetic cinematography, legendary main duos, and artistic cinema. Even if the plot leaves you confused, the beautiful and melancholic audio-visual experience will permanently stay in your heart. Highly recommended!Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Wow...lol
So yea, that opening scene had my jaw on the floor. And then it just kept getting spicier. Like, WHAT?? Is this the new direction of NC scenes in BL shows because YES. I didn't cringe one time during those scenes and that's saying something. Between the use of music and muted voices, these were done SO well.The story was also pretty cute. You've got an older guy who clearly likes a younger guy but his history makes him scared to date someone younger (with valid reason). I like the ruse of teaching Jun how to do the deed. Sorn was DOWN BAD for him even though it took a while for him to admit it to himself.
I liked Tai and Champ as well. Such a sweet little side romance. The same for the girls as well. I'm not into WlW as much but I enjoyed their dynamics.
Overall, I liked it alot and can't wait to watch the specials.

Um slow burn de matar!
Sinceramente, comecei a assistir esse BL por causa de um Reels que apareceu no meu Instagram e posso dizer que não me decepcionei nem um pouco.Os BLs japoneses costumam ser curtos, mas uma das coisas que mais gosto neles é como conseguem desenvolver a história de forma natural, mesmo com pouco tempo de tela. Em Fake Fact Lips, a premissa parece simples: dois amigos e rivais de infância acabam trabalhando na mesma empresa e fazem um acordo inusitado para colocar um fim nessa rivalidade.
Logo no segundo episódio comecei a desconfiar que o Ryo já tinha sentimentos pelo Zen, e a partir daí ficou difícil acreditar que tudo aquilo não fazia parte de um plano para conquistá-lo. Ver essa dinâmica se desenrolando foi uma das coisas que mais me prendeu.
O ator que interpreta o Ryo merece um destaque especial. A atuação dele é simplesmente sensacional! Ele é extremamente expressivo e consegue transmitir as emoções do personagem apenas pelo olhar e pelas expressões faciais. Dá para sentir cada momento de insegurança, carinho e frustração, o que tornou a experiência muito mais envolvente.
É verdade que boa parte dos conflitos poderia ser resolvida se os dois simplesmente sentassem para conversar (risos), mas esse também é o charme de um bom slow burn. A construção do romance acontece aos poucos, fazendo com que cada pequena evolução do casal tenha um peso ainda maior.
As cenas de NC também são muito boas e têm bastante química, mas, para mim, o grande destaque continua sendo a história e o desenvolvimento da relação entre os protagonistas. É um BL leve, divertido e muito gostoso de acompanhar.
Recomendo muito para quem gosta de romances construídos aos poucos, com muita química, tensão na medida certa e um casal pelo qual é impossível não torcer.

Beautiful and satisfying
It looked good and the dubbing improved after the first few episodes. I personally enjoyed the story and the plotting (although many people online say otherwise). The plotting is easy enough to follow but does get a bit contrived towards the end. Ending was a little satisfactory, I guess. I would've liked more romance.Acting was honestly very very good. The main leads and the 2 'villains' were absolutely stunning in their acting skill.
Music was a little distracting at times but otherwise good.
Production (with the exception of the dubbing in the first few episodes which got a bit... questionable) was very high. The costumes were absolutely GORGEOUS and pretty accurate of the time period. The sets were pretty good.
I thought the chemistry between the leads was incredible! I loved watching their cooperation and how they supported each other. This was my first drama with the male lead but I'll keep an eye out for more of his dramas from now on.
