Mini j-drama but it delivered BIG time

Loved the story/concept. What happens when you end up playing the main role in a bl drama? It first reminded me of 'A Man Who Defies the World of BL' and obviously 'Lovely Writer' that showed us the bad sides about the BL entertainment industry. But this was a totally different take. The show felt just so wholesome and all super natural, genuine and funny. And the story really went somewhere.. We get to know both actors and their backstories. And the actors did all great.. every actor in it delivered. Maybe it would have been nice if some characters got more air time but since there were only 3 episodes.. it makes sense? Nevertheless the two mains were truly great! Their facial expressions were on point, every time! And you bet I searched for the ost of this drama. It's very lovely. If it was possible I would even want to watch the bl drama they were supposed to shoot.. That even looked great! I wouldn't say no to a special episode with this content 🤡

Unexpectedly very bingeworthy

Started this without much pre-knowledge, except than for the little preview. I pretty much went in with nothing, but I have seen Takahashi Fumiya's acting and in my opinion he striked again. But I also got swept away by Shison Jun's acting skills and visuals. But idem for the other actors. They all delivered, especially when they had to express how delicious the food was. ^^

The story got me interested. I do like dramas with a cooking aspect so for me it was a joy to watch. Maybe it's not for everyone. I loved how they added Gaku's ability in this drama. And in my opinion a lot of lessons to learn. I recently wondered about one a lot. In this world there is a lot of competition. With us being connected worldwide at all times.. Everyone showing off their talents or jobs, it can turn both ways for people who thought they were talented. Or they get the strength to improve or they will think they aren't more special than they thought. They will lose their purpose in life. Which is what happened with Gaku. It was beautifully expressed. Luckily Gaku meets Kai who gives him a new goal he could aim to and use his talent for another purpose. It's one lesson I picked up from this drama. But there are way more to experience. But no need to spoil the whole drama here hehe ..

Also don't know if the math Gaku used though is really trustworthy. Sometimes it seemed a bit too exaggerated. Nevertheless it was a nice story concept.

About the music? Well, Re方程式 by 10-FEET is just a pearl. I can't stop listening to it. I could listen to this song on repeat, no joke. Do check it out and I bet you'll drop it in your favourites playlist.

************** Might be a spoiler, as in do you want to know if there was a lgbtq-factor? See below.

*** I mean there was really something in my eyes, but it was more brotherly. But the ending ... I liked the ending. ***

*************BIG SPOILER ENDING ***

The one thing that I found a bit weird and is actually also one of the reasons why I kept being intrigued to watch this show.. Gaku's personality changed totally. I couldn't believe what would have caused this and I can find myself in the reason, but not entirely. I can accept that he could lose himself but turning in someone so rude because of him wanting to be a divine creature, a leader that accepts no help and can't explain things more clearly to his staff? Also I don't get how Kai's sickness could really be okay for him to cook. At the end he kinda almost fainted. How can he then be cooking with Gaku? Although it did seem like a small restaurant. But still.. Nevertheless I do liked that ending obviously. ************************

"May have bingewatched it"

- major spoilers about the end in the second part (after the - - - -) of my review fr don't read that part if you haven't seen it -

Enjoyed this drama. To be honest not at first but I got intrigued that I may have bingewatched it in 2 days oop- . I'm not gonna lie that I watched this mainly for Akaso Eiji, but was I happy it had an interesting scifi plot.

But that aside, I immediately loved how they let us dive in the story. Those camera angles and everyone's thoughts in the train. Beautifully shown in my opinion. The characters had a good build-up. And ... there are quite many to discover. It's not only about the main characters. We slowly get to know each one (not ALL but quite a lot more than I expected at first) and their story, which is interesting to see how it all evolves especially in these scary circumstances. Because you know, different characters can clash although others feel more connected. Anyway, it was great to witness. Actors did well. Truly felt their emotions.

The tiny triangle love aspect was a nice extra, although it's a pity the main ship didn't get much lovey-dovey moments. But hey, the show gets extra points for that brotherhood vibe. Beautiful setting too, god all that nature. The ost is beautiful. Definitely worth the listen (at least once)! But then hmm, I wished there was a bit more action or a bit more darkness in it. It was okay, but there were more possibilities? The ending could have been better too. I was a bit disappointed but i was also okay about it? (MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD, I explain why)

They didn't do that much to convince everyone and in the end it was just waiting on the upper hand? And above that I'm a bit confused about the whole Tanaka receiving the letter part. It's nice he got intel and he isn't forgotten.. But what did it mean? In the series there was a theory were they said that if they save that planet in 2026, the people that stayed behind in 2060 lived in a parallel world next to 'the world of 2026'? So how could he have received the letter? So does that mean the world from 2026 still got destroyed? But we clearly saw the scientist receiving a positive message...?

Some mention there could be a season 2? Hope that's true :")
