Smile

but otherwise, i think it's playing out quite well, bias aside. acting wise, i can't say they're amazing, but not bad. the story's only about to get interesting (i presume) so i can't comment yet.

as for treatment, being a filipino too (yes, me too heheh ;p), at first i didn't know how to feel about the entire discrimination issue, because i felt it was exaggerated contextually for the drama. BUT then again, it IS a drama, and the situations are just reflections of prejudice that happens everyday. it exists, and in that way, it doesn't matter what nationality they decided to make matsujun.

imho. ;)

unless of course he's half-white, then it would be a totally different scenario. it'd be a romantic comedy if anything. and none of the prejudices. stereotypes maybe. but he wouldn't be discriminated upon the way a half-filipino, half-korean, etc. would be.

where can i stream this drama eng sub?

started ep1 . i have a good feeling its gonna be real good . gakki cho kawaii yo!!! :beatyou:

but i never noticed matsu jun speak in filipino. did he ever?

Finally got round to watching it from my watch-list and i wasnt let down. that was a good set of 11 episodes. Unique i thought, storyline was decent, and the cast was good. Gakki was cute as usual :victory:

Cheers :victory:

Once again, I didn't read the synopsis before starting the serie and I was REALLY shocked when I realised that the serie was anything but what I imagined at first ! I'm now up to the 9th episode and I just have to say that it might become part of my top-3 series. So far it's been really funny, mostly thanks to Hana's character, but also a bit of sad (those who have watched know, I don't wanna put a spoiler here). I don't really care about the music there but somehow the whole feeling in the serie is just so beautiful that it doesn't matter.

I like the cast really much. There are lot of un-known ones, but also those, who I really love, like Aragaki Yui and Oguri Shun (&#9829;). Both of them do just amazing job there ! This is also my first serie, where MatsuJun is starring and wow, he's much better actor than I expected ! (though I get huge Hiro vibes from him, hrrr).

Overall I just wanna recommend this to all of you guys, this is simply something worth watching <3
