This and that
That was a hard week, health wise, but also because of a few other unexpected and unpleasant problems. Things are better now and I hope it will stay that way. I haven’t been here much these last few days, so I might have missed something.
And this is what I did while I was trying to distract myself from all of the above.
I read my first manga. I mean the first in the form of a physical book. I did read My Personal Weatherman and the 1st volume of At 25:00 In Akasaka online before.
It’s a BL manga called One Week Family (I bought it in Polish translation, which is good BTW). It's very cute, very PG-13, and it gave me a lot of warm and fuzzy feelings.
It’s about young, but already popular actor Fujimaru Ren, who has one flaw – he’s not good at acting with children. But his new movie requires him to act with child actor Yuu. So Ren’s manager proposes that he spend a week living with Yuu. And that also means spending a week with Yuu’s manager Haruo Kei, who basically cares for Yuu 24/7, because Yuu’s mother is a very busy businesswoman, who never has time for her son. Kei is also the former child actor that inspired Ren to start acting. As you can probably guess Ren and Kei very quickly fall in love. 😊
I watched the first four episodes of a new Thai BL drama The Rebound. And I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. From the description it sounded like a straightforward high school BL about former best friends who reconnect after a one year break, and bond over playing basketball in a school team. I was convinced that it would be cute, fluffy and relatively problem free. But no, it’s much darker than I expected, and there are a lot of serious problems. And well, that one is definitely not PG-13. And there is one possible background pairing that I love so much already, even though I don’t yet know if all this ship teasing will lead to a canon ship. But I so want the couch and his dear Director to fall in love and kiss. Please, please, please. 😊
It’s on Gaga and there are two new episodes a week on Wednesday and Thursday. I’m very glad that I like it because We Are ends soon, so I’ll have a new drama to watch on Wednesdays.
The other definitely not PG-13 drama I watched was Japanese BL The Novelist. But you know what? From what I’ve read about it I expected it to be much darker and pornier. Yes, it is about messy, complicated people in messy, complicated relationships, it is very high heat, but at the same time it’s surprisingly romantic, and not just horny and relentlessly dark, and nothing else. It’s about two lonely people who find each other, and who manage, with a lot of complications of course, find their happy ending together. I liked it a lot, and later watched all the sequel movies – Spring Life, Playback, and Continued Spring Life.
I also started a cdrama Live Surgery Room. Mainly because it’s short (28 episodes) and I read that it was very slashy. I watched four episodes for now, and I can confirm that yes, it is very slashy. I like the two leads and they have nice chemistry. It’s that ‘antagonists to friends and/or lovers’ dynamic I enjoy so much, so for now I’m sticking with it.
