Miseinen: Mijukuna Oretachi wa Bukiyô ni Shinkôchû

In this hetero ocean, two fish appear, each with its own sea and deep down they have doubts about who they really are... Japan produces LGBTQ+ projects, ranging from complete strongholds to completely unrealistic pieces based on manga, but still Japanese society as a whole is not so open to human differences on the outside, traditions and uniformity are adhered to. This wonderful piece is proof of how these two characters were shy and approached their inner differences so cautiously. That is why, in my opinion, this series is so different from most others, which offer unreality, fairy tales and often we don't find many hetero characters in the project. Thanks to the director, the entire team and both guys who put that special Japanese charm and absolute REALITY into it, it is civil, HUMAN and for me not 10/10, but 11/10.

Someone here mentions whether the project would have been so highly rated if it weren't for BL. Of course it wasn't. After all, the hetero characters wouldn't have to fumble around so much, come to terms with their difference on the outside, and it would have been a completely normal series.

This show deeply resonates with me. As an adaptation of the manhwa, it captures the raw emotions of love, pain, and resilience in a way that feels profound and impactful. The characters, with their struggles and triumphs, remind me of the complexities faced by many in difficult situations.

Every moment feels authentic, and the chemistry between the actors is palpable. I found myself laughing, crying, and reflecting on these characters' strengths! It's more than just a story: it's a journey of the heart. If you seek something that touches your soul, this show is a must-watch. It lingers with you long after the final credits.

I recommending everyone who wants the watch a good bl tv show. The story is heart warming and feels nice. It was nice that the subject was realistic and worth the problems in real life. In addition, the fact that both characters supported each other in the problems they faced in their lives, but never interfered with the course of troubles and overcame the problems with their own, was the most basic thing that made this story different from the others.. Also as a manhwa reader i could say that i love how they the follow manghwa storyline. And the actors who played jin and hirukawa is perfecty fit in the characters. And they reflected the personalities and energies of the characters on the show in a very beautiful way.

Ranking it a good drama, my score for this love story covers exactly one aspect- yearning. I watched a reel featuring one of the leads feeding the other water. Emotion depicted by the actors and framing of the scene escalated a tint of salvation through love in my perspective. Complete surrender exhibited by 'Haruki', "infect me, even a little" impressed me. Plot was nothing new but it succumbed me to watch, waiting every week. Story is set in modern Kanto prefecture based on a Korean Manhwa. Kisses looked influenced from 'Doukyusei'. The actors were not only compatible but also apt for the roles. Kenshin has a gravitational gaze. Junsei being a fudanshi aided their cozy romance. Scriptwriter has done a great work in condensing the webtoon into a short drama that looked native. It would have been far more intense if made in the original language.

Everything is good until it is not. Don't delve into personal lives. Let the narrative remain wholesome in your last impression.

The story and dialogue is so beautifully written. It captures first love and the struggles of gay people very well. The acting in it is truly amazing. The actors did a very good job portraying love between the main characters so well. I love how the dialogue is used to describe the hardship and love the characters felt in the series. I would really recommend people to give this a watch!! But be aware you will cry. The storyline is sad but it captures queer love in a very realistic aspect.

I gave this an 8 because the ending wasn't very satisfying to me. But I will say it deserves way more hype. I didnt read the original manhwa that this was adapted from, so I can't say whether or not the plot is similar. If you are thinking about watching this, please do!!
