This was disappointingly bad...

The premise is that Japan has made sex illegal. That's it. It's only been 15 years, I think, since this law was passed.

Truthfully, I can't really think about one positive comment to make about this, so I'll just pass on this for now.

The drama follows a high school boy being exposed to underground sex. Essentially, a place where people go to have sex. It kind of reminds me of Love Whirlpool since they just hump people (sometimes strangers) all in one room. The nudity isn't too much, in my opinion, and I just tended to skip over the scenes. A lot of the slightly sexual scenes, particularly the ones with the ML are very awkward, for obvious reasons, since this is all new to him. I do feel bad for him though; his crotch was grabbed a lot by a bunch of different people - including adults...

The story. Well, Japan does like their quirky stories, particularly the ones which involve sex. But this just fizzled out. This could have given a better commentary. I did find it weird that the adults didn't really question why sex became illegal, and I thought that was really weird, to be honest. Instead, we have the ML's mum shaming him over a wet dream. It isn't until the end where we find out why it's illegal. I don't have much to say about the reason, because I really don't remember it.

There was also a bit of sexual harassment and assault which I don't think did much. It felt weird that it was being included in a story about illegal sex without there being a clear distinction between the two.

So yeah, I didn't like it.

fuori dai schemi

Ho iniziato la visione senza saper bene che aspettarmi, sicuramente non è un Drama convenzionale. Ero tutta un : cosa sto guardando? nella parte inziale della visione non ne trovavo bene il senso di questa trama, sicuramente è un titolo che va visto senza troppe pretese ma comunque alla fine, un suo senso l'ho trovato così ed infondo non è del tutto così superficiale se si va oltre.
Consiglio la visione a chi vuole veder qualcosa fuori dai standard, ai maggiorenni ed soprattutto consiglio di non guardarlo se vi è qualcuno in casa o sono da utilizzare le cuffie, perchè le vibes uditive sono quelle di un video vietato ai minori.
Gli attori mi sono piaciuti, non mi hanno colpito particolarmente ma hanno dato una buona interpretazioni
