Meu Meteorologista Pessoal (2023)

If we don't get a 2nd season I will sue

This bl is perfect for what it has to offer.

The chemistry, the acting, the characters its all perfect.
I found myself really liking both the fluffy and the NC scenes .


Watch it,
If you want to watch two idiots who don't know how to communicate, who are both totally different from others but adapt to society and its norms. The sweet way they like each other twords the end of the show, the way you can feel the lust and yearning for each other. The way everything is portrayed is perfect.

I am sad episodes range from 23-25 min and that (at the time of writhing this ) the show has only one season. I know I'm writing this review pretty late but I watched this show since the first episode aired. Ive always liked it. Even when in a few episodes we got nothing, no character development, no new story I still liked it.

I know this review might be pretty biased because this im im my top 3 most liked BL's I still hope this can explain the show better to some. The point of the show is just to portray the way of 2 people living together, going against society's norms and falling in love in the most weird and confusing ways. Even the characters sometimes get so confused about what they are doing.

Watch it. Just simply do. It was a nice break from depressing BL's and dramas. It has become my comfort show.

Unreliable narrator done right

Clever storytelling. The show starts in Yoh's perspective, and only gives us his very biased interpretation of what is going on, based on his limited information. As the character learns, so do we, and each episode reveals more of what is truly happening between the two leads. This is how stories are meant to be told. And it is super exciting to see an unreliable narrator used in BL, especially since it doesn't happen often. But because it doesn't happen often, it's somewhat risky; people can drop these stories too soon, before the whole truth can be revealed. Or they get so sold on the lie, they can't let it go even after the truth is revealed. Personally, I'm glad this show took the risk. I love stories told this way. It's clever. And I definitely recommend watching all the way through so you can judge the entire story as a whole before deciding what you think of it.

A handsome man doesn't mean you'll get just get a serving of cute and mushy feelings...

Firstly, the lead actor (playing the TV weatherman) is strikingly good-looking - it's not difficult to understand why his housemate has been compelled to draw him from when he first saw him in the cafeteria. Segasaki has a unique kind of beauty that draws not only Yoh, but also his friend Manju and the viewer too. This is one strength of the drama - what is such a man like in person? How does the outward image of a popular persona translate into his real personality when at home?

Secondly, to address the conflicting opinions around this drama and its storyline: I liked the couple and I do believe it takes all sorts to make the world go round. I guess my main frustration was simply this: how about a bit more direct communication?

It didn't stick the landing

Boy oh boy but do I have some conflicting feelings about this show!
I went into it with some pretty strong reservations given how viscerally uncomfortable power imbalance and consent issues in relationships (no matter how fictional) make me, but I decided to give it a go anyway because of the screenwriter and directors' involvement in shows like Jack o' Frost and Old Fashion Cupcake, both series that I absolutely adore.
Given that initial hesitancy I have to say I was both positively and negatively surprised by Taikan Yoho.

On the one hand it is technically excellent - the cinematography is brilliant, the editing and pacing are well though-out and cohesive, and the performances are stellar.
There is also the fact that the main characters' relationship, unhealthy and co-dependent as it may start out, seems to improve significantly as the show goes on, so much so that I became genuinely invested and was even sold on the idea that yeah, these two do love each other in their own, confused way don't they.
The intimacy the two share feels natural and believable even when set against the backdrop of so much emotional turmoil and denial.

On the other hand, all that promising build-up pretty much goes out the window with the final episode.
To explain:
I was surprised by how many similarities Taikan Yoho has to Utsukushii Kare, at least where the main characters' dynamic is concerned.
It's clear from the start how terrible both Mizuki and Yoh are at communicating (Yoh being especially guilty of this) and how much of their issues stem from the deep insecurities both of them seem to harbour about their relationship. But instead of making use of this premise and actually developing the characters (rather than just explaining their motivations), the show completely shoots itself in the foot by veering in distinctly the wrong direction, in my opinion.
Because rather than showing the characters taking steps towards a more even footing with one another, which is exactly what makes Utsukushii Kare work so well, they settle even more into their respective roles with Mizuki becoming uncomfortably domineering and essentially none of their misunderstandings cleared up, which makes any progress the two previously made feel completely inconsequential.
And kind of heartbreaking, too, given how Mizuki previously indicates he loves it when Yoh doesn't simply obey blindly but also shows his wants and needs.
Putting that aside, I don't even think the show works properly as a depiction of a healthy D/S dynamic.
Granted, I am not particularly well-versed in the subject so take what I say with a grain of salt (a much more reliable and in-depth analysis on the topic can be found here, should you be interested: https://www.tumblr.com/lutawolf/725726059919736832/my-person-weatherman-or-taikan-yoho?source=share), but I do know that what's most important in such relationships is communication and clearly drawn boundaries. And while Yoh's and Mizuki's relationship does bear many strong resemblances to certain types of D/S relationships, those vital features are clearly missing from their dynamic.

I don't regret having watched the show, nor would I discourage anyone else from watching it, but I do think it's important to be aware of the series' short-comings, especially where delicate but highly important topics like consent and power are concerned.
I also can't help feeling disappointed that the story didn't live up to its potential but rather falls prey to some of the most egregious cliches of the genre, especially with such a talented production team and cast .

The chemistry and visual of the mains really pull me to watch this series and it turns out a good series. Well the only thing I hate here was their lack of communication they definitely love each other but yeah it really triggers me how they dont even try to communicate with each other but still I finished this series WHAHAHAHA

But their body language really said I love you in every way possible but I think they are dense WHAHAHAHA

Actually shooked about the behavior of the both character... but yeah as the story goes I understand the both of them... They really find the peace and love in each others arm

toxic relationship or depiction of real life or both!!!

Many people express this series as a toxic relationship, but if you really think about it the creator of this series is just giving an example of real-life.

One of the biggest problems in society these days is people have trouble with communication. Everything is a touch of a button on a mobile device or a swipe to the left or right so to speak. once people are face to face, they often don't know how to express themselves they because they can't just hit a button and show the other person their happy, they have to say it or show it which is where the lack of communication comes in. When people can't express how they feel or fear they might come off in the wrong way it causes miscommunication.

This series that appears as a toxic one-sided relationship is actually a depiction of the struggles people go thru in life with each other when neither side knows how to express their feelings leading to frustration anxiety and misunderstanding. This series shows how people express these frustrations and anxieties in different ways.

To anyone looking for a lovey dovey show please skip this one.
If anyone is looking for the pure emotional side of ups and downs in a relationship, please watch.

Story

I know a lot of viewers were not very pleased with this BL due to the way Yho was being treated but I took it for what it was a drama and thoroughly enjoyed it. Yho was depicted as a loner and fell for Segasaki otherwise he wouldn't have been in a relationship with him toxic or otherwise.Loved both actors .. Both very cute.For some reason Japanese actors are incredible at showing their emotions Love..Excitement...Happiness..Sadness. Segasaki was very cohesive in his behaviour but Yho
fought back and also when drunk his feelings came to the fore so he wasn't completely taken over.. Segasaki was put in his place more than once. You have many people in life who are very submissive to someone's feelings and they live like that. They prefer not to walk away.Yes I will watch it again.

A little unusual & confusing, but worth the watch

There are so many stunning shots of the two men going about their daily routines, sitting in baths, eating meals together and laying on each other’s lap. It hurts my eyes because the both of them look so ridiculously beautiful from every angle.

But beautiful men aside, My Personal Weatherman is perhaps one of the most unusual and confusing Japanese BLs I’ve watched recently.

The relationship between Mizuki and Yoh is insanely ambiguous and yet, painfully unambiguous at the same time.

When Yoh ties his self worth to books he has sold, it’s only because he wants to be good enough for the wildly successful Mizuki, who has made a name for himself in his field.

When Mizuki is quiet around Yoh, it’s because he has dropped his mask – he is finally free to be his exhausted, introverted self around a person he trusts the most. Not Mizuki the talented meteorologist, not Mizuki the popular weatherman, not Mizuki the handsome idol.

Just Mizuki. A man who has found a place to rest his weary soul.

girl what

the actors were just about the only good thing in this show. i have 2 major complaints:

1. the romanticism of mizuki’s sexual coercion is horrendous. i know that’s pretty common in bls but that doesn’t make it any better, plus it’s not even used as a form of “character development” here because he keeps it up til the very end. i firmly believe they could’ve made the plot just as, if not way more, compelling by removing the whole obligatory sex thing and all the scenes where mizuki forces himself onto yoh.

2. the plot goes absolutely nowhere, in fact it goes in circles. every time it seems like they’ve communicated their feelings and things are looking up, one of them (usually mizuki) overreacts about a misunderstanding and then they’re back to square one. even by the end they haven’t communicated their feelings properly and are just in another lull phase whilst misunderstandings continue to brew underneath.

MY PERSONAL WEATHERMAN!!!

This show was probably the thing that kept me going in the week, knowing I can come home, relax, and watch this at the end of the week.

Is this show DEFINITELY a 10/10? No. Is it in my eyes? ABSOLUTELY!!!

There are many things that I LOVED, but there were certain things that I didn't like so much.

The ending was a bit confusing. Were they actually TOGETHER?

I always love Japanese BLs (RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE!!) and usually never rate it lower than a 7-8. What was it about this show that made me enjoy it so much? THE CHEMISTRY!!!!

The chemistry between the leads is just outstanding, which lowkey made up for all the misunderstandings.

Some of the scenes were HOT!!! As in like, peeking through my fingers and giggling. THAT TYPE OF HOT!

If I were to give it a lower rating, the reason would be because of the misunderstandings.

The way they couldn't just talk it out infuriated me. A simple discussion would have made the relationship better and stronger. The fear of rejection shouldn't be there in my opinion. Segasaki had obvious feelings for Yoh, IF ONLY HE JUST FOLLOWED BODY LANGUAGE AND FACIAL EXPRESSIONS!!

Overall, this was an amazing JBL, and would definitely recommend. (especially people who like a bit of spicy scenes..) The chemistry is THERE!
