Maybe we are all a bad guy
Tae Ha made a big decision regarding the event he started with the girl, which was part of his journey to Ji Un. However, Ji Un suffered the most due to his love for the uncertain Tae Ha. He received all the blame and would live with the guilt of his affection. Ji Un's sad eyes show the depth of his painful experiences, making his story relatable to many. This series is very well done, with a clear focus and an authentic production style (e.g., I like the color tones and makeup style).Was this review helpful to you?
Taking the tour
While Big Dragon (BD) offers nothing new, it's still worth watching for BL fans. The attraction and cinematic volume for Big Dragon have been explored in KinnPorsche. The hate-to-love relationship story presents in almost the BL series. Handsome and beautiful faces are a basic requirement to be in the BL. And well, after many stories revolving around Engineering program and its students, now, the Thai BL era has entered the BL stories in the Architecture program (Bad Buddy, Big Dragon, etc.).Why is BD still worth watching? My question is as a BL fan what is to expect from the BL series? If you are expecting to see handsome faces, a bit of soft-sexual touch man-to-man, chemistry, a bit of humor and a good production; BD has those all. So, it is worth watching. BD will insert some imaginative stories into the fiction world of BL about very attractive university students who have no barrier in acting to have sex and love between M2M. The question left to answer for the main character Mangkorn and Yai is only, do I love this guy? if yes, what does it take to love him? Answering this question will be the tour of this 8-episode series. I am taking the tour because even though I am not expecting something new from the tour, I am still looking forward to how they will unpack the journey of this tour.

What does eternal mean for Koichi and Oumi?
Based on my experience, any drama with "eternal" related titles have a sad ending. Take a look at Eternal Summer (a Taiwanese Gay movie) or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (straight romance, 2004) for example. So, I am a bit nervous if Eternal Yesterday will be no different.Koichi and Oumi have each other eyes at the first sight, sparked by their different personality. Their relationship set from as simple as having lunch together to visiting each other homes. Same as Once Again (Korean BL, 2022), one of the boy's fate has revealed in the very first episode. For the rest of the series, we might predict they would be together during the journey and we might start questioning whether they would be together at the end of the journey.
I am interested to know what eternal means for Koichi and Oumi but at the same time, I don't want this sweet BL series to end up like the previous BL series: Once Again. As an audience, I am hoping they will be eternal together physically and emotionally, not just spiritually. I guess I hope they will find a way if they freeze yesterday to eternal, they will have a way to move forward together to eternal today and tomorrow.
This series seems to be shot in the Japanese countryside during the spring, so the background and the landscape scenes look nice. Editing frame by frame seems okay for me with this type of low-budget series. The casts look like professional actors and still form their acting craft. Music is also nice, offering a spring vibe in the Japanese countryside.

Is this your type?
The short answer is, "YES." The opening line of this series is very direct, and the storyline begins with Mr. Hans discovering Suan's preferences and asking, "Is this your type?"Jung Jae Bin looks incredibly attractive here, and Jeon Yu Bin provides a nice balance to Jae Bin's dominant appearance. This series is too short; it is a mini-series with about 10 minutes per episode. I believe it shouldn't run weekly; at least two episodes should be released per week.

Hideyoshi Kan on the BL planet
Most Japanese BLs in nonschool settings have foods to connect and to tell a story. This one operates the same, where we have a handsome, charming young man who runs small food corners (I would not call it a restaurant). While the story, based on the premise, is so much usual, nothing extreme and nothing new-- I think honestly, I don't look forward to how it progresses---Sukiyaken is still worth watching. It is a reminder of what it is like to live on BL planet, where being gay is so acceptable and normal. And seeing Kan Hideyoshi on this planet is so refreshing.Was this review helpful to you?
