Great BL drama!
It's an interesting BL drama, actually one of the best BL dramas indeed! I do like that it's only 6 short episodes. I loved the season 2 drama "Mood Indigo" so much so I decided to sign up MyDramaList and write a review about this drama and season 2 drama as well. This one is different from "Mood Indigo." I like this story because it's funny and different. In particular, it's about a young boy (inexperienced) finding himself through the journey or time spent with the novelist. Sex scenes were good but Season 2 is WOW for me, even though not as funny but the story a bit more realistic. Both dramas don't necessary relate to each other but I do recommend watching this one first and then the second season. Enjoy!Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Adult only.....
Okay so I am really not a ran JDrama as I've not seen much about them, however this drama was 50/50 for me.It definitely had seem serious scenes in it and all of them were well carried out, almost like a soft porn ??
With only 6 episodes at just over 22 minutes each, the story was filled with rich development that was brought to life by a phenomenal cast, the chemistry between the two male leads was excellent and the intimate scene where beautiful executed.
The music was good, a bit cheesyat times but it helped the movie story along.
Overall i enjoyed this drama both main actors are not only easy on the eyes but have great acting chops.

I'll just say this ahead, in this series: there is no laughing, cute, perfect couple; no unrealistic problem-free relationship; no flat, emotionless actors-who-cannot-act; and most importantly, no shot of two lips touching and staying so painfully still for over a minute. All of these, in my humble opinion, are very good things.
I love the character interactions in this series the most. The short humorous exchanges the characters sometimes have are precious. Not only do the characters have chemistry, but they are also entirely natural and believable. There is a certain quiet atmosphere all throughout the series, punctuated by the beautiful soundtrack. The cinematography is also wonderful and aesthetically pleasing. There is just this one point in Episode 3(?) where the transition was so abrupt and ridiculous that I laughed out loud. Other than that, I have no complaints.
To be honest, I had no idea who Izuka Kenta was before this. Now, I have no idea why he isn't known more. His acting is smooth, there is almost no 'acting' but just him being the character. On the other hand, I didn't fancy Takezai Terunosuke's acting at the start. I felt it was too monotone, until this one turning point in the series where we see a different side to his character and I realized his acting was actually pretty on-point from start to end. Izuka may have stolen the show, but in at least two scenes Takezai completely stole the moment.

Excellent But Didn't Make My Heart Sing...
An artful BL with beautifully composed shots. Everything about this series was strong. The performances were excellent (the best acting that I've seen from a BL series by far though the actors are much older & probably more experienced). The writing was organic. The characterization were poignant. The chemistry was arousing. The story was singular and different from traditional BL stories. Though I find this series (my first Japanese BL) to be excellent all around, I wouldn't say that this is one of my favourite BL series just because it didn't make my heart sing unlike other BL series like SOTUS, 2gether or Addicted.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
No era lo que yo esperaba, pero lo amé.
Cuando empecé a mirar, la historia iba tal y como me había imaginado que sería (digo, el título y la descripción ya dice mucho de lo que es), pero me encantó y me tomó por sorpresa ese giro tan turbio que tuvo la historia y luego aquel final. Me encanta cuando te hacen esperar algo y luego te dan otra cosa que hace la historia aún mejor. Al principio creí que sería un drama donde habría muchas escenas porno o algo por el estilo, o que sería todo censurado (que no habría nada), pero me tomaron por sorpresa realmente y lo amé.Puede sonar un poco raro (luego de ver el drama vas a entender por qué lo digo) pero me identifico mucho con Kijima Rio, ese estado tan depresivo en el que se encontraba, sintiéndose inservible sólo porque ya no puede hacer lo que le gusta, pero tampoco no tener a nadie que te recuerde lo especial que eres.... Creo que es algo que todos pasamos alguna vez o lo estamos sufriendo ahora. El tema realmente me llegó al corazón.
Los actores, todos, son GENIALES. Realmente creo que son los indicados para los papeles que le fueron dados, se lucieron. La producción no es muy alta pero eso ni se nota. Todos pusieron su parte, se nota, y realmente me gusta el resultado.
En resumen, lo recomiendo. Recomiendo mirarlo con calma, escuchar y prestar atención para no saltar a conclusiones tan rápido, tener simpatía, y tomar un respiro. Vale la pena mirarlo otra vez? No, la historia tiene sentido sólo la primera vez que se mira, luego ya pierde la gracia, verdad? A menos que quieras repetir... Algunas escenas... Ya los veo, pillos (ahre¿?).

This is a great series but....
This is a great series but....I didn't like it. Seriously, I didn't like the ending and yearned so much for this series to be something it wasn't... a Typical BL. So I'm addicted to happy endings and can only tolerate light drama.Enough about me. This is real life stuff and equally heart wrenching in it's passion and realism. Both actors did a great job portraying their flawed yet likeable human characters. There are many brilliant scenes which include the entire framing of the series. 1st scene and last scene. I oh so much wanted this to be something it wasn't, which is not a bad thing thing. I needed a bit of reality to make me appreciate the happy- happy BL's I usually watch. A great piece of work here. Congrats to all involved in the making of this series.

Okay but really though, I started this show just to see if it would grab my attention at all... ummmm Hours later and totally completed, I would say yes.... Yes it did. Now I need to find the rest of the series before i lose my damn mind.
I didn't know this was part of a series until I was near the end and felt like there was a lot more to this than they were saying (glad to know I was right lol)
There really isn't much I can say about this show without giving to much away, really. I think the actors are fucking phenomenal because most of the time I felt like I was reading someone's journal or looking in through someone's window. Everything about it was raw and real.
I wasn't expecting that ending at all if I'm totally honest though. Not sure what I expected but..... not that.
Not that I'm mad or anything, but I might have looked at the screen like "did my ship just sink!?" Lol
Really hoping the rest of the series is as amazing as this one.

Creatively done
This is my first Japanese BL series I watched. I like the simplicity of the storyline. I think they could have done a little better in providing a background for the main character at the start to provide an idea of how he behaves. You have to wait til towards the end of the episode to have a clear idea of the lead character’s behavior. As a viewer, my curiosity is what kept me watching. I’m glad that they continued the story. It is nicely done and there’s a segment where it’ll get your heart pumping.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
The series was quite interesting since the very beginning, the meeting of both of characters that quite cliche made me wonder how would the series goes.
Honestly, it’s hard to hold your boner when you’re watching this typical genre, even though there weren’t many scenes that showed sensuality but still the way how He described about anything made my mind went out.
I thought I’m gonna watch the sequel. hm

A BAG OF MIXED NUTS WITH A WEIRD AFTERTASTE
THE MUSIC WAS IMMACULATE, SO FITTING AND SO GOOD I ACTUALLY HAD TO SHAZAM IT.The acting was SAUR GOOD I loved the main characters and even the support ones could shine at times, definitely this mini-series' highlight for me.
The plot was definitely unique, but it had some plotholes that could take you out of the story if you thought too much about them.
But what really put my rating down was some scenes...I just felt uncomfortable and it really took me out of it, and left a sour taste afterwards...Take those scenes out and is an easy 9/10.

A great drama
first, i was kinda skeptic about japanese BL drama at first, since it never actually deliver the feeling of the story in the best way possible. but after I watched this series, it broke those thoughts of mine. I gotta say that the actors did a really good job in playing the characters. I also read the manga, but I can feel the emotion better here. the tense, pain, frustration, happiness, sadness, anger, and so much more. the dialogues are also good, the script is well-written. it made me wanted to know more about the story. the only thing I'm not so fine with is the ending. of course i like an open ending drama better than a sad ones, but i still prefer a happy or good ending where I know that every problems have been resolved.thumbs up to everyone that made this series possible!!!

Esta resenha pode conter spoilers
Anyone else thirsty?
Well thought out characters, small cast not focused on unecessary sub plots, steamy, and girl i mean fog the glasses up steamy.+ sexy + in depth story + no hinted at LGBTQ+ very in your face
- pointless eluded back story - borderline creepy grooming
Girl they done went in on the sexy times. Not only for a BL but a Japanese BL was not expected but very well done.
This was very well acted Takezai (Kijima) and Izuka (Kuzumi) really played well of each other and had clearly researched their roles. Although it did take me a few episodes to warm up to kijimi.
I couldn't help but feel the hinted at past risqué relationship felt more like a " we should do a sequel/ prequel " gimmick and not as much something that really was well thought about storyline arc.
It really unraveled and blossomed as a great story and never felt rushed. But in the same sense i don't feel the need for more.
