The greenest of the all
Jan. 26, 2024
If It's With You, Japanese BL was a show that I have been seeing and hearing for the past few weeks. When I first started it, I wasn't really feeling the plot. But it got so good so quick. Every episode I was wanting more and more. The story is very simple but the execution is so well written. To think that both leads are rare breeds who are very green flag, positive people, who wants to communicate. Actually, they communicate their feelings pretty well. Any issues that might arise they will fix it asap. I love how they are able to express their feelings without hiding it to each other. They are the ideal couple that we all should be looking for. I want what they have so bad. For such highschool type of drama, I was getting so much butterfly like I am jealous that I was not able to experience such type of love.
I also find it so ironic that the drama that I didn't expect too much from becomes one of my favourites. I think the WHOLESOME factor of the show really did it for me. It stole my heart, the lovable leads too. It's only 5 episodes but there is so much depth and substance in each episodes. I might be reading it too much but the subtle actions, the symbolisms, the way they handle what other queer people feel especially when it comes to those public affection that is normal in a heterosexual couple like holding hands between queer couples and getting judgement from it. Battling the fear of the past and the lack of acceptance of our own self identity. It just hit all the bullet points.
This drama is chef's kiss and I am so happy I started my year with this show. If It's With You is now, one of my new comfort drama that I will surely be rewatching over and over again.
I think after a while, this is the first time I feel good and passionate about writing a review. I doubt many will be able to see this. But please give this show the love that it deserves.
May we all find the green flags we are destined to be and be a green flags ourselves as well.
