Before I talk about this drama, may I say something controversial yet brave? Can we be vulnerable on this gay day?
Japanese BLs have proven to be much better than Thai ones. And don't get me wrong, I love me some Thai BL, okay? There are some that have put me in a gay mood and there's no better mood to be in than the gay one. However, honestly, plot wise, Japan has left Thailand way behind. As of the writing of this review, I have only seen like 4 Japanese dramas with Boys Love thematic and... they are all so different from each other. She's showing the judges versatility! While in Thailand, most of them have the same tropes and storylines being recycled relentlessly. There's only a small handful of dramas that have actually gone out of their way to do something different.
That's it, just wanted to vent a little.

Now, let's talk about this drama, shall we?

~Story:
You know what? Never in my gay life I thought I was going to willingly watch a drama about a fujoshi, but I admit I am glad I took that bullet because this was a whole experience. I still don't like fujoshis, though... except the main one here, she's nice.
For an eight-episode drama, I am very pleased with the writing and pacing of the story. It didn't beat around the bush and focused on the relevant info that's most needed to understand what is going on. Everything was placed right in front of you, so even a person who has no idea about what is like to be gay and a fujoshi, and the struggles that both of these types of human beings face in a conservative society as Japan's could have a clear idea of the basics.
By the time I reached episode seven, I realized how fond I became of these characters to the point I was on the edge of my seat wondering what the hell was going to happen next. I like the subtlety in which they began taking ahold of my feelings without me even noticing it.
The main thing that I enjoyed about all this is that even though it was clearly fiction, it still maintained a good level of realism. In my head, this feels real even though there were some parts that were too cliche to be real.

~Cast and Characters:
Yes. To be honest with you, I probably wouldn't have chosen a different set of actors, and what I really liked about them is how they didn't feel repetitive with each other. Every head was its own world giving a very good variety of reactions and emotions. I like how clear it was that there wasn't a sense of unrealistic unity and every character was allowed to feel their own individual set of emotions instead of just jumping into the bandwagon.
I love whoever the hell was playing as Sae, the fujoshi. She started quite weak, but she became the best, strongest and most solid character in the whole series. It was an excellent character development that outshone everyone else's.
Jun was also really good. The best thing about the actor is that he kept it very quiet and "unreachable," which made those moments when he snapped and showed his weakness very strong. Seeing this character struggle in silence is probably the most relatable part for anyone in the LGBTQ+ community. That anxiety and desperation was hard to see in the good way. Really, we got an excellent set of actors here.

If there's one thing that I feel a little weird about is the ending. It was a bittersweet ending cleverly disguised as a "happy" ending but, to me, it felt like we were back at square one. You will understand what I mean when you watch the last episode, pay close attention to the dialogues.

Mama this show has everything: Great cast, great writing and pacing, great plot, gay stuff, serious themes, good dramatic moments, daddy issues, shock value, and, most importantly, for a Japanese drama, the acting was pretty damn good compared to many other things I've watched. Totally recommended by yours truly.
