Minha Confusão de Amor! (2021)

Um bl super confortável de assistir. Recomendo demaaais!!

É um bl simplesmente perfeito! A história e a relação entre o casal é extremamente fofa e confortável. N sei se isso é considerado spoiler mas, apesar de o casal não ter dado nenhum beijo, isso só faz provar que uma relação, para ser verdadeira, não é necessário que hajam beijos ou que tenha relações sexuais.
Eu adorei a temática de como é abordado o dorama, apesar de eu não ter lido o mangá, eu me senti como se estivesse literalmente vendo um mangá se transformando em live action.
Para finalizar a química dos principais e a atuação de todos os personagens são ótimas e puras. Vale muuuito a pena assistir.

Amor, amizade e muita fofura

Kieta Hatsukoi tem uma história simples, porém que conquista. Tudo começou por causa de uma borracha e mal entendidos, e a história até que me surpreendeu em alguns pontos.

Um grande forte desse drama são os personagens. Eles são simplesmente adoráveis e muito fofos. O enredo tem algumas situações bem aleatórias, mas que não me incomodaram porque me faziam rir demais. As atuações são boas, um pouco exageradas em vários momentos, mas isso combina com a proposta do drama e o contexto escolar. A trilha sonora também é agradável, as musiquinhas são divertidas.

Falando um pouco mais especificamente dos personagens, nossa como eu amei todos. Aoki é uma graça, ele é tão fofo, companheiro e empático. Em muitas de suas ações prioriza o sentimento de outras pessoas, e acaba por deixar os seus de lado. Durante todo o drama mostra também como ele é inseguro e paranóico, o que vai repercutindo na sua vida e no seu relacionamento com o Ida.

Hashimoto é outra que também é muito fofa. Assim como Aoki, ela é insegura em mostrar seus sentimentos. Mas também é muito companheira e compreensiva. Ela foi a primeira pessoa a saber dos sentimentos de Aoki por Ida e a conversa que tiveram foi tão bonita e saudável. Em nenhum momento ela o julgou, foi uma cena que me deixou muito feliz. A amizade dela com Aoki é linda, os dois são parecidos e me fizeram rir bastante.

Ida foi um personagem que me surpreendeu. Eu não estava esperando que ele fosse tão compreensivo e gentil. Ele é um personagem que tem muitos conflitos internos durante a trama, pois não sabe exatamente o que sente por Aoki e o que significa gostar de alguém. Acompanhar o desenvolvimento dele foi bem interessante. Enfim, ele é um amorzinho também.

Aida é um personagem que no começo nem reparei que seria importante pra história, mas eu gostei dele também. Ele é divertido e companheiro, e tenta muitas vezes ajudar Aoki (mesmo que seus planos deem errado por não ter interpretado as coisas direito).

Sobre Ida e Aoki como casal, eles me fizeram surtar muito de tanta fofura. Gostei da construção do relacionamento deles, pois pensei que iriam enrolar muito. Porém, foi bem rápido e eles eram bem diretos até. Ainda sim, durante a trama tiveram problemas de falta de comunicação, por conta da combinação da personalidade não muito expressiva de Ida e da paranóica de Aoki. Esses problemas costumam me incomodar muito nas histórias. Aqui também me incomodou um pouco, mas em se tratando de uma comédia escolar e adolescente, não foi algo que me irritou tanto. Em principal porque desde o início foi mostrado como Aoki era inseguro, então não achei incoerente.

Essa história também mostrou como é importante termos boas pessoas ao nosso lado. Com todos os conflitos que Aoki enfrenta, seus amigos estão sempre lá para ajudá-lo. Achei tão bonito como Aoki, Hashimoto, Ida e Aida sempre se ajudavam. Tanto para tentar conquistar a/o crush, como em situações mais sérias e tristes.

Por meio dos conflitos dos personagens, na minha opinião esse drama conseguiu expressar bem sobre o que é ser inseguro, sobre ter mais autoconfiança e sobre aceitação. Essas características são muito comuns na adolescência (e não só nela) de forma que mesmo quem não é mais adolescente pode facilmente se identificar com os personagens (eu mesma).

Em resumo, essa história me deixou feliz e aqueceu meu coração. Mas não só isso, pra ser sincera em alguns momentos eu me emocionei. É uma história muito bonita, sobre aceitar quem você é e buscar o que você deseja. Junto a isso, mostra a importância de ter boas pessoas ao seu lado, que te apoiem independentemente das suas peculiaridades, defeitos, gostos ou orientação sexual.

muito relacionável e inocente!

um dos jdramas mais engraçados de 2021 e muito se deve aos atores e a construção dos personagens que de longe são o melhor, as expressões e reações de todos são impecáveis e SUPER engraçadas; especialmente a dupla de amigos aoki e hashimoto vão te fazer se relacionar em muitos momentos e pensar "eu faria isso também!".

a história tem seus clichês na medida certa assim como arcos divertidos de se assistir, o maior problema, e talvez único, seja que o drama é curto demais limitando o tempo de cenas e arcos que poderiam ser extendidos.

de forma geral é uma história de amor adorável focando muito na ingenuidade dos protagonistas cada um da sua própria forma, perfeito pra que busca um romance escolar, sensível e muito bem humorado!

Japão nunca erra!

Tente não amar esse BL e falhe miseravelmente.
Com certeza um dos melhores de 2021, tanto pela criatividade de um plot cheio de pequenos clichês, mas com singularidade e beleza únicos, como pelo carisma dos personagens, que em meio a belíssimas atuações, conseguiram misturar drama e humor numa história de amor colegial. Os sentimentos foram mostrados de forma tão pura que até mesmo a falta de beijos passou despercebida por mim, um casal saudável, descobrindo o amor juntos e respeitando os limites um do outro. Esse drama fez eu shipar até o casal hétero (milagre!!!). Todos os personagens do núcleo principal eram muito fofos, até a mocinha apaixonada pelo sensei me encantou, e as relações de amizade, de companheirismo, realmente esse história estará para sempre em meu coração.
Nos outros aspectos, também entregou muito! Belíssimas locações, boa fotografia, uma ost gostosinha.
Já vi, revi, verei de novo, e recomendo que todos possam ver também, e surtar de amores com tanta fofura.

Fofo e Aconchegante

A história é simplesmente encantadora, e a relação entre o casal é extremamente fofa e reconfortante. Tudo nela é reconfortante e acolhedor.

Uma das coisas que mais me cativou foi a maneira como abordou a temática. Se você é fã do mangá, com certeza se sentirá como se estivesse vendo as páginas ganharem vida. A fidelidade à obra original é notável.

O casal principal, Ida e Aoki, é apaixonante. A construção do relacionamento deles é satisfatória, sem prolongamentos desnecessários. Apesar dos desafios de comunicação devido às personalidades contrastantes, isso se encaixa bem na narrativa, e os sentimentos dos personagens são representados de forma pura e genuína, o que faz com que a falta de beijos passe despercebida. É um retrato de um casal saudável, descobrindo o amor juntos e respeitando os limites um do outro.

Além do casal principal, todos os personagens do núcleo principal são adoráveis. As relações de amizade e companheirismo são cativantes, e essa história vai deixar uma marca eterna no coração de quem a assiste.

Embora tenha seus clichês na medida certa, o único ponto negativo é que o drama é curto demais, o que limita o tempo para desenvolver cenas e arcos que poderiam ser estendidos.

No geral, é uma história de amor adorável que foca muito na ingenuidade dos protagonistas, cada um à sua maneira. É perfeita para quem procura um romance escolar sensível e cheio de humor.

So Far, Most Re-watchable JDrama BL I've Seen

I've spent at least 6 hours of my life re-watching this drama! From Michieda Shunsuke's (Aoki) amazing facial expressions, to Fukomoto Riko's (Hashimoto) charming personality (definitely a scene stealer, it's so nice to see a strong female character like her), to Meguru Ren's (Ida) handsome face, this show finds itself ranking at the top of my list for 2021 BL's. Not to mention Suzuki Jin's (Akkun) acting - seeing him go from his more 'serious' role in Given earlier this year to something more lighthearted is a little head spinning; he has amazing range!
As for the plot, there are some twists and turns in the first few episodes that had me cracking up and itching for the next episode to hurry up!
All in all, so far it's been an amazing experience to watch this show!

Best Japanese BL of 2021 !!!

Kieta Hatsukoi is the best Japanese BL of 2021 so far; the acting, the characters, the script, the plot, and of course, the absolutely sweet moments!

I'll make this short - you will immediately love all the characters in this series! The main characters all have charming points that contribute to a beautifully youthful love story. There's also bound to be at least a million hilarious, heart-warming, and adorable moments sprinkled throughout each episode. A bonus is that the OSTs are absolute bops that I listen to non-stop, sung by the 2 boys themselves :)

If you're looking for a binge-able BL, look no further!

Sincerity and Hilarity

I just . . . <3 ❤❤❤

Such wholesome and supportive MLs! Ida and Aoki were everything good in this world.

The first episode did an amazing job setting up not just the characters and comedic style of the drama (which I adored) but also showing who Ida and Aoki are as people.

Ida is the kind of guy who thinks about things very seriously and carefully and despite not being exposed to/experiencing what many others already have is open to something unfamiliar to him. He also cares deeply about the feelings of others and always takes them into consideration, though he appears quite stoic and awkward at times. Lol.

Aoki is the kind of guy who doesn't let jealousy guide him in acting in ways that would benefit him personally while hurting others. He is willing to make sacrifices for the people he cares about even if it is to his detriment. And, he is very outwardly emotional and expressive, but also quite shy at times. Lol.

That was an impressive thing to accomplish in just the first episode alone.

This is the kind of drama that will not only make you cry from laughing so hard at Ida's dry humor, Aoki's meme-worthy and iconic reactions/facial expressions, Hashimoto's violent/impulsive nature, and Aida's blissful ignorance, but also from how much consideration and kindness oozes from the MLs.

Ida's sincerity was seriously too much for my poor heart to take! And Aoki made my cheeks ache from how many times I couldn't contain my giggles and abrupt bursts of laughter! Needless to say, I along with many of you now have to figure out a way to share custody of the absolute mood that is Aoki Sota.

Something a bit underrated and beautiful I didn't fully notice about this drama until it had a few episodes left was Aoki and Ida saying statements Directly expressing their emotions about things related to their relationship, and also the other paying attention and taking them seriously. Such as, "That made me upset," "That made me happy," etc. Saying This thing you did made me feel This. Basically, "I" statements.

I can't think of very many dramas that do this/have done this.

I've actually read that couples counselors will advise their clients to communicate in this way to directly address their feelings and not be accusatory when/if they're upset with their partner. Yet another reason for me to adore Kieta Hatsukoi and the precious couple in it.

This drama was not only a great showcasing of healthy and communicative relationships, it was also highly addictive. I rewatched each episode (until it was completed) about a dozen times before the next one aired.

Regarding representation, I could not be more happy! Aoki was a wonderful and respectful representation of Bisexuality. It was also delightfully easy to show. He was in love with Hashimoto and then he fell in love with Ida. Simple. He didn't declare that he "doesn't like boys and just likes him" (I hate that trope so much) nor was there any line indicating he never truly loved Hashimoto and was just "confused." He didn't deny his past love and also accepted his present love. I could cry!

I think this was as perfect Bi representation as you could get without actually saying the word Bisexual.

Fluff, fluffier, fluffiest! !

This was just a huge dose of fluff and is probably the sweetest fluffiest drama out there at the moment, Everybody is just so cute, not only as characters, but together too. The story is both interesting, sweet and of course not completely without drama, but even the drama is cute and resolved in a sweet manner making your (my) heart flutter over and over again of ooooh that is just so cute!

While many other shows may have some unnecessary drama that may frustrate you, the drama here is different, it shows some struggles (without letting it take over the cute), some well known prejudice one may face or be afraid to face, but that too is handled really well.

The grownups here do not make me want to scream, or ashamed of being part of the grown up community. There is actually a teacher who is shown to be kind, supportive and honest, who knew that was possible?

The mother here is just soooo sweet, I just wanted to hug her!

The different types of friends here are also, yes you guessed it, Sweet, supportive, super cute!

Even the love triangle (yes real triangle) is just sweet and cutely done....

To top it off we get a bickering couple, and adorable dog, a lovely visit of the see thru umbrella and opposites attract...

Yes even the misunderstandings in this are.... CUTE...


Did I mention it is cute? So for you in need of a shot of some highly bingeable cuteness and fluff, this is it!

A small warning: I will however just mention that I was a bit bothered by the leads way of over acting with big comedic gestures that I normally hate, but they grew on me and I ended up finding it, yes you probably guessed it: CUTE

Also this probably is the drama, with the highest ratio smiles per minute I have ever seen...

this.

where to start?

i am completely convinced this will never be topped. just everything about this is so cute.

let's start with the story. with the first episode everything has already been said. "this is a slightly silly love story about hardworking good-natured high schoolers." and it is exactly that. this is a character-driven drama honestly. the plot is there for the characters not the other way around. like a lot of coming of age dramas, it's about the characters and not the plot. it shows the life of a (struggling and confused lol) bisexual teen in high school juggling new love, friendship and of course, school. it also sometimes shows the persepctive of his love interest, a well-meaning volleyball player who is also new to this whole love thing and bad at expressing emotions.

the acting. the facial expressions michieda shunsuke has done for this show is incredible. it might seem over the top but for those who have read the manga know im not kidding when i say that's practically what aoki is like in the manga too. meguro ren as ida was spot-on. that is the blank-faced ida i know and love brought to life. the casting was just perfection. also ya gotta admit. they're a good looking pair. as for fukomoto riko and suzuki jin, they are also perfect cast. they do amazing as their characters. the casting seriously perfect.

oh the music. oh the music. i love it. i really do. both secret touch and ubu-love. these songs are blasting in my head at all times. they are very fitting to the drama. the lyrics from secret touch especially. secret touch is sung by meguro ren's group (snowman) and ubu-love is sung by michieda shunsuke's group (naniwa danshi).

and the rewatch value? oh darling, i was rewatching the first episode religiously since i saw it. it became apart of my DAILY routine. then the second episode was released. so i was rewatching the first two until the third episode. then i was rewatching the three until the fourth and basically that's how i've been living. easily rewatchable. you will be desperate for more.

overall. my favourite jdrama and probably overall drama for all of 2021. i love a series with heaps and heaps of drama but something like kiekoi has seriously topped. it's a sweet silly love story of two inexperienced teens in high school realistically done. one of my favourite aspects is probably how relatable this was for me. as a bi teen in high school, i have experienced something like this. it wasn't as sweet and happy in fact it sucked. watching aoki and ida navigate their love in a sweeter and happier way despite their ups and downs, makes me like this drama a lot. so. watch this if you need something sweeter than candy.

tldr; one of the best jdramas of 2021. sweet cute love story between two inexperinced teens. 10/10 would recommened. biased because it's personal to me lol but seriously, its really really good.

Kiekoi is forever! Ida and Aoki made me too happy!

I never write reviews but this time I had to because I've never felt as invested in a series as I did with Kieta Hatsukoi.

What can I say...? I loved every single moment of this series, it was such a heartwarming experience I could rewatch over and over again. This story is so pure and innocent and I loved how both Micchi and Meme played their roles. Aoki and Ida are so different and yet so complementary. First you have Aoki, who's that kind of person who's ready to give his whole heart for the person he cherises the most and then you have Ida, who's more oblivious when it comes to feelings and falls for Aoki without being fully aware of his own feelings. Some may say this story is very simple but, to me, that's perfectly fine considering the message this drama tries to convey. It’s a very comforting and hopeful story about figuring out feelings and discovering love you've never experienced before. I think that's the core message you can take away from Kieta Hatsukoi. I laughed, loved and cried a lot all this way with Ida and Aoki and I wish we would get another season, a movie or even just a special episode. However, even if we don't get that, the final scene of the final episode was so cute that I would undertand if they decided to conclude the story there because, to be honest, that's the perfect ending for this perfect series.

Last, but not least, thanks to Kieta Hatsukoi I got to know Snowman and their amazing music. Of course I am a big fan of Meme now, but besides that I think Snowman is a very talented and amazing group! Same for Naniwa Danshi, although, at the time I'm writing this review, I haven't deepened very much into them yet. In any case, both are excellent groups and "Secret Touch" and "Ubu Love" will get stuck in your head as soon as you listen to them.

Could have been so much better but still enjoyable!

I started watching this show because of the hype I was seeing all over social media, and I was looking forward to it every week but it got to the point where I felt like it was missing something especially after the final episode. I know this is based on a manga so maybe they were just trying to tell it as accurately as possible but I just felt like their wasn’t much of a “story”. Like the whole dating each other and telling people your dating before actually admitting you both mutually like each other to each other? I know that arguably was the story was the whole does he really like me thing but I just felt like there could of been more depth with that storyline? I’m not sure but I just didn’t feel completely satisfied with how their story ending with the couple. Maybe it’s because it was so hyped I guess I put it on a higher level. However that being said I still enjoyed this show than most bls recently. The actors were great and them mains together make a great couple as well as the supporting characters. I love how much Ida and Aoki care about each other even though they are shy about it. For sure do recommend this bl if your looking for something cute. I liked it!
