A light weight cute drama
This is a very quick, sweet and light drama to watch , if you have an evening and you want something to cheer up with.Nothing in the story is too deep or in need of explaining, it's pretty straighforward/simple, filled with cute moments and interesting topics.
The lead actors are very adorable and work very well together.
I got nothing bad to say about this, i thought it was sufficent with how the plot developped and ended, there was no unecessary drama or action.
The simplicity of it made it worth the watching

Sweet but a little too soft
aka: Candy Colour ParadoxSweet story and I liked the casting. I don't know the Manga, so can't say how it measures up.
I found the repetitive intro of each ML at the start of all episodes a bit redundant.
Their scoop projects were varied and pretty relevant, but with short and few eps, there could never be any depth to them. Also, considering the fact Yakuza and crime syndicates were mentioned more than once, it feels a little unreal that there were no thugs or threats of the consequences for their scoops.
The naive half of the duo, Onowe, might be just that, but he's far from stupid. I actually see it more as an innocence ~ he's well aware of the dark side of life, but chooses to believe in people until he's proven wrong, at which point he has no qualms about facing up to reality.
Our more jaded other half, Kaburagi, who must have had some really bad experiences of being let down to be so cynical at a relatively young age, appears to need Onowe... like a light in the dark.
They are both dreadful at communicating their feelings, so at times their interactions are frustrating, but they would be irl with 2 such emotionally introverted people getting together. They both start opening up in the latter part of the drama and we get an insight into Onoe. It is a real shame we didn't get to see more of that and background on Kaburagi.
However, if you are looking for a short, sweet romance with opposite characters that is all about the couple, which isn't deep or have a strong back-storyline , this is perfect.

Heavenly blend of cute and fluff
This series is so cute and FLUFFY, and the ship is absolutely adorable. The plot is very fun, and I loved each and every episode of it.The sex scene was very unexpected from a Japanese BL, and was executed exceptionally! The character dynamics and development is also very good (we love you Masayan <3).
There were many unnecessary lines, in the sense that they often pointed out things that were obvious, or had already been resolved in the previous lines. Many lines also ruined the mood of the scene, and could easily be solved with body language. There were also a tad too many flashbacks and repeated scenes. Some scenes were shown up to five times throughout the series, which is just unnecessary.

UN BOYS LOVE CLASICO
Dos periodistas trabajan en la misma revista semanal. Por cosas del destino, acaban haciendo pareja profesional. Al principio no se llevan nada bien, pero al final se acaban dando cuenta de que pueden compenetrarse bien.A ver, es un boys love de manual. Podriamos catalogarlo en un "enemist to lovers". El punto fuerte de la trama es, por una parte, el contraste entre las personalidades de ambos personajes y por otro, las tramas de investigación, que resultan entretenidas y aportan dinamismo a la trama.
PERSONAJES
Basicamente la trama gira alrededor de los personajes principales , a escepción de algun personaje secundario puntual como pueden ser el dueño del bar y los fefes de ambos. Si es cierto que no aportan demasiado peso a la trama pero hacen bien su papel,
Onoe: Uke, timido, correcto, profesional. El timido de la relación y el protagonista principal (tambien es el narrador de la serie)
Taburagi: el seme, tiene más soltura y se desenvuelve mejor. Lo pintan un poco de Don Juan.
Es una serie muy sencilla, pero está bastante bien ejecutada y juega bien las cartas que tiene. La escenografía me gustó bastante y los planos se hacen decentes. Al final es una serie cortita y que se hace amena de ver.
¿La recomiendo? Si, echas un rato bueno biendola. ¿La volvería a ver? Tal vez en el futuro, no es una serie que se haga pesada

Better for me
I read in a book once that Candy Colors stimulating the appetite and makes you want more. This series for sure WILL makes you want MORE. I think it is obvious that a lot of people are used to or they tasty are affected by the most Bls that start and end in 2022 and of course won't like this one. But I can guarantee that this Bl right here is for sure one of the best for 2022-2023. The story is simple but is catchy, the main point is of course the whole world behind the main line and still serve a lot. The actors are amazing, I mean, they make mistakes? I rewatch a lot times before writte this review so the rewatch value is totally 10. The soundtrack is P E R F E C T, man billy rock it. I understand for sure that we have to pass for a lot of bad bls, but Candy Color is better for me in every line. Like i say before I want them to make others Bls and a second season, I mean, if they have money from amazon, netflix or HBO they will make a AMAZING and more explored, I really really really hope they can make others storys together they have that chemistry that is rare to see.Cet avis était-il utile?

Their own take of the manga
*happy ending*This manga is one of my most favorites to reread of all time, that is why it took me a long time to finish it. There were some points in the series that did not match the manga, so I suggest manga readers to not re-read or read the manga before watching this.
Differences:
- first of all, kaburagi here is a bit different from the manga. There, I saw kaburagi as a sleepy, perverted man who only sees onoe in his eyes. In the series, I did not see much of the similarity with his live action counterpart. (he is very handsome though)
- the bits and pieces of the manga are rearranged to fit it in 8 episodes. So, as a manga reader, it became a bit weird for me, but still flowed naturally to the end.
What I loved:
- Onoe. He is soooo similar to the manga character he is portraying that I loved the great casting so much. He is very adorable just like his character. I really love the way he melts in Kaburagi's embrace everytime.
- other casted characters. Everyone is perfectly casted. Down to their lines, actions, mannerisms, even their looks perfectly fit their manga counterparts.
- this is one of the best Y manga adaptation I have ever seen. and I am very thankful that they didn't use the white background japanese bls always use when having NC scenes.
To everyone, this is highly recommended to watch. Also, to read. Just keep in mind that this is based on an old manga that is still being serialized right now, so to people of today, they might see some topics as a big nono. But this is very cute, I promise. Well directed as well.

I loved this!
I thought this BL was so cute! It was a bite sized drama with a lot of action within. The plot was consistently interesting and kept me so engaged that I finished it in one sitting!The miscommunication trope is probably frustrating to people because it's the most realistic, but I enjoyed it, as well as the jealousy throughout.
I enjoyed watching their relationship develop. Their cases were also really fun to follow. I never knew the subject's true colors!
I am sure I will come back to rewatch!

Easy Filler Drama
Despite having a lukewarm response from viewers, I found the couple to have a workable dynamic that wasn't too "lovey-dovey" or overbearing. Onoe is a typical shy/reserved man who is passionate about the work he chooses; Kaburagi is the "playboy" who apparently has the sexual swagger (I had a hard time being convinced). But bring them together and there's obvious sexual tension that entices you to keep on watching. Yes, that sex scene was... safe but the line from Kaburagi saying that Onoe can "smell like him" if they live together was good.A wonky story but I think it works to help J-BL watchers prepare for the real main events of 2023 or for newcomers of BL to dip their toes in the water before going big. Think of it as a good binge-watch while you wait for your main shows to release their weekly episodes.

so, so sweet!
Oh, I loved this one a lot.The characters are all super likeable, the relationship development is sweet and to be honest, it is just very typical japanese BL, which isn't bad! I like to resort to the more uncomplicated series, as they bring me much more comfort than the overly serious shows. Tho I hate the miscommunication trope, it surprisingly didn't bother me as much as it usually does. Probably because the miscommunication happened late on and didn't stretch as much as it normally does in other shows.
To keep things short, this series is very wholesome and just the right one for a nice and comfy weekend, so check it out!

not the healthiest relationship..
I have read the manga and reluctantly watched the series as well, hoping the story would be improved upon. Unfortunately, it wasn't. The story and characters struggle with the same things as the source material.Given are two coworkers who absolutely cannot stand each other, always end up having really awful arguments and never communicate. As they are placed on more projects together they slowly learn a bit more about each other, and realize that they make a really good team even if their morals and the things they are willing to do for a story do not match. Through sheer guessing - since once again, they barely talk properly - Kaburagi figures out that Onoe finds him attractive and the two start sleeping together. One of the worst BL tropes is the one where one of the characters acts like they hate their love interest but "secrectly" likes it when the love interest manhandles them - which seems to be the entire personality of Onoe.
Realistically there is no way for Kaburagi to know that Onoe is just "pretending" to dislike him (unless this was a supernatural story and he was a mind reader, which is unfortunately, not the case here) or if he actually just hates his guts. Like he has already said so, several times. Yet, he keeps making advances and pursues him. Later, there is a scene where they confess their feelings to each other, but since this is during another one of their agressive shouting matches, it doesn't really make up for the terrible communication they have.
The setting, characters, actors would have been interesting enough if only just the relationship was better handled.

Clichêzinho gostoso
Finalizando mais um review coreano e trazendo minhas impressões para cá...Um belo clichê, colegas de trabalho que não se gostam e são obrigados a trabalharem juntos, e por fim se apaixonam. Mas é um clichê com uma história diferente do lugar comum. Óbvio que a editora de uma revista não é algo inovador, mas a forma como foi abordado tema é algo que gostei.
O roteiro não é brilhante, mas é um simples que deu certo. Eu senti que o Onoe não sentia exatamente ressentimento, como dizia a sinopse... em minha opinião ele já gostava de Kaburagi, que por sua vez se sentiu atraído ao ver que Onoe realmente não era inferior a ele, afinal o ego dele é meio inflado. Algumas coisas me deixaram em dúvida, Onoe foi bem inocente em relação ao cara que enganava as mulheres para indústria de filmes adultos, enquanto Kaburagi entendeu tudo de cara, não acho que por isso Onoe era burro, ele apenas não tinha experiência no trabalho de campo que Kaburagi já fazia há anos, e esse fator, junto ao seu bom coração, fez com que ele se iludisse.
Me incomodou o drama final, quando Kaburagi ficou com raiva de Onoe pq ele mentiu pra conseguir um furo, bem, ele próprio não é um exemplo de virtude, então achei bem sem lógica. Se deveria ter um drama final, que fosse algo mais sólido. Também não achei que havia necessidade de Onoe ficar aguardando o "patrão" criminoso na hora da prisão e informar que era fotógrafo.
Em relação aos detalhes técnicos, não tenho reclamações. A atuação perfeita, a química perfeita, a ost perfeita, fotografia linda. Com certeza recomendo essa série, e com certeza irei assistir mais vezes.
