Kimi to Nara Koi wo Shite Mite mo (2023)

A serene of young love

I have my doubts about adding this one to my list solely because of how misleading the poster was. It was far different from what the actual vibes of the story were. The poster is somehow dramatic and I thought that it would be a devastating series with a lot of pain but thankfully, I came across with non-spoiler comments of how beautiful the setting was.

Characters are fluff and sincere. I love the innocence and kindness that Ryuji-kun has and how he manages to embrace Amane’s feelings in the end. A short BL that did a remarkable way of flourishing the main character’s growth the moment he finds the one with letting go of his past lustful intimate fling with others.

The story being produced in a seaside city was indeed an appealing sight to see and gives the highlight of being covered in warmth and affection that the story is trying to tell its viewers. I wanted to try the summer season living in that beautiful rural town.

TOO GOOD TO JUST HAVE 5 EPISODE

Best JBL Drama for me,the story are jut have 5 episode and soo to the point. I love how good ryuji's attitude like he didnt even hate amane when he said he was gay. BUT THE PERFECT POINT IS ON EPISODE 5 HE IS THE ONE WHO SAID HE WANT TO WATCH HANABI JUST TWO OF THEM LIKE MAAAN i wish you were not a fictional character. And amane too when his ex texted him and said he want to meet him he is reject it and said "I ALREADY HAVE THE PERSON I LIKEE". The High school BL drama with no sex and too much skin ship was soo good i love it soo much. i didn't wish for season 2 but if they make it i'll definitely watch it. But now i will rewatch this every time i think about Ryuji's smile.

And i like how it start with hanging out together untill sunset and ending it with hanging out until sunrise.

Hope ya'll watch this.

Could Have Been A Masterpiece

What a joy this series is to watch. It is soft, gentle, touches the heart with its warmth, child-like innocence. Yet, there is something initially very sad about it. It makes you think about how fast children must grow up and sometimes miss out on their childhood; only longing to want to return to it when they discover its pleasures. Its message is a bit cryptic and hidden behind a façade of childlike behavior, but underneath is hiding a child really wanting and needing to be – a child. But the flaw in what otherwise would have been a near perfect series is the astonishingly clumsy and deflated kissing scene. It is awkward and deliberately filmed so as to not show the mouths touching in either kiss. That was a cheap shot and diminishes completely the caliber of this series and its intent. I am not a fan or artistic trickery to show a kiss.

Unconvincing romance.

Everything about this drama screams fake and forced romance, starting with the title!

One of the tropes I hate the most in BLs is "gay for you only!" and here it starts with the title: If It Is With You...

The plot follows the story of Amane and Ryoji, a couple of high school kids who meet accidentally and become friends. The whole romance is based on their characters and they are just not in synch! Amane is gay, has been sleeping around with older men and hiding his insecurities behind forced joviality. He is willing to tone it down but only if it is with Ryoji! Ryoji, on the other hand is serious and mature beyond his age due to the death of his father and the obligations towards his family restaurant business. He is also excessively kind which breaks Amane's protective walls who falls hook line and sinker for the sweet and non-judgemental Ryoji. When Amane confesses to him, Ryoji is surprised and ends up accepting even though he never considered the possibility of Amane being ever anything more than a friend but if it is with him...

The whole romance felt forced, they tried to make a sweet simple friendship into a love story and that is when the whole drama crashed in my eyes. The sets are pretty, the actors are cute but they have zero romantic chemistry. They are good friends who understand each other but the transition to lovers did not feel natural: Ryuji somehow seemed to be obligated by his own excessive kindness to accept Amane's confession. That felt very wrong. The friendship was great, the romance was awful!

questa serie ti fa riconciliare con i drama bl

Finalmente una serie in cui non ci sono relazioni tossiche, complicazioni di trama insensate, incongruenze assurde, malintesi inverosimili dovuti a una inspiegabile mancanza di comunicazione, non ci sono personaggi che diventano gay dalla sera alla mattina, non ci sono "gay per te" (Ryuji non è un "gay per te", ma un adolescente che sta scoprendo la propria identità). I protagonisti sono belli, teneri e adorabili, comunicano tra di loro e vivono in un mondo realistico, e curano l'uno le ferite dell'altro. Ci sono scene toccanti e anche scene divertenti, l'unica pecca è la durata breve della serie, sarebbe stato bello vedere più scene di loro due insieme in una relazione.

Sweet, fluffy and healthy

When you need peace and relaxation, it's a must-watch. The characters are very pleasant and lovable. It's also nice that a serious topic has been raised about how important it is to be accepted by your loved ones as you are. I also like that there is communication between the main characters. The only thing that I didn't like is the ending because it seems that everything is still ahead and I wonder how their relationship will develop in the future.
OVERALL:
All in all, I would rate this BL very positively. It is perfect for one night when you want to relax and dive into the sweetness and cuteness.

Short, sweet, bite-size happiness

A lovely short story about 2 boys finding what love is, one with deep emotional scars, and one who heals them. They truly do complete each other in such an endearing and adorable one.

One thing I love the most about this series, is the amount of communication and talking they did. Ryuuji manages to coax Amane into being his true self, and talking about his past wounds. He really listens, and only listens, and that's enough for Amane, having someone who tries to understand him.

I love the confession scenes, it really show Ryuuji's character when he puts such deep consideration into Amane's feelings. It wasn't a simple rejection nor acceptance, he accepted his confusion yet at the same time embraced his feelings for Amane. That for me was just beautiful, and one of the most nicely done confession scenes.

The whole series is just fluffy and cute, except when we deal with Amane's past scars. I wish we had more time with this cute couple, and could've explored more of the development of their relationship after they got together, but then again, that's not the point of this story is it?

Muy linda, pero olvidable...

Hace ya un tiempo que termine esta serie, y no habías hecho reseña, y hoy quería ver algo y vi la portada en la aplicación y ni recordaba que la había visto...

Eso deja mucho que pensar, recuerdo que fue disfrutable y linda, una serie muy corta con lindo mensaje, pero olvidaste, al menos para mi, recuerdo que pensé que recordaría por mucho tiempo esta serie, pero la verdad es que no fue así.

Considero que si se puede disfrutar y amarla, pero con la posibilidad de ser olvidada. solo termine de acordarme de toda la historia cuando pase por las fotos de la serie y volviendo a leer la sinopsis.

Pero en otra parte, si recuerdo que la disfrute mucho y amaba mucho a los personajes principales, tenia una linda química.
