Jack o' Frost Drama Review (9.7/10)

Brief Synopsis

An illustrator Okusawa Ritsu, and a salesman Ikegami Fumiya met together in an old coffee shop and eventually fell in love with one another. However, a misunderstanding arose, which caused a quarrel, and Fumiya decided to end their relationship. The day after the fight, Fumiya was contacted by Ritsu's younger brother, informing him that Ritsu is in the hospital getting treatment after getting involved in an accident. Upon awakening, Ritsu remembered everything but Fumiya. Fumiya then takes Ritsu back home while thinking of wanting to start over again. Ritsu asks for Fumiya's help to regain his memories by bringing him to different places to trigger his old memories with Fumiya. As they continue to regain his memories, Ritsu falls in love again with Fumiya while having amnesia.

Story (9.5/10)

I find the story very bittersweet. It tells the story of a gay couple having a quarrel due to a misunderstanding and the gradual diminishing of affection for each other. It's somewhat your typical bl amnesia show where one gets involved in an accident in which only forgets the existence of their significant other. However, the thing that I find this special amongst others is the maturity between characters and how they're both created by the author. Halfway through the show, we see that the series focuses on an introspective story of a character, which I find uncommon on most shows that deal with melodramatic genres like this.

The part where Fumiya tries to help in regaining Ritsu's memories is the aspect I find very bittersweet since Fumiya himself also tries to reminisce about their old selves. It tells that one may not move on quickly from the past things; it needs proper closure.

In terms of characterization, I relate to Fumiya in a sense he's really not good with words, he expects that from his body language alone can make people around him pick up what he's thinking or feeling. Whereas, Ritsu, is more of a laid-back and introverted character. Therefore, there is a need for both of them to express their emotions and thoughts to avoid further misunderstandings and arguments.

Acting (10/10)

Both actors showcased their acting capabilities. Honda Kyoya (Ritsu) and Kosuke Suzuki (Fumiya) portrayed the characters very well as if they were THE CHARACTERS THEMSELVES.

During the first episode, the argument scene felt intense with how Fumiya acted cold and mad toward Ritsu while Ritsu was drunk-talking about how busy he was during the day.

During the sensual scenes, it never felt off or awkward. I could see the passion and affection they have both for each other as professional actors, and none of their sensual scenes have disappointed me.

During the best part, where both finally reconciled and Kyoya cried from fully regaining his memories struck a feeling inside me. His emotions were as powerful as if it was me he was talking to, and he looked desperate which felt emotional.

Cinematography (9/10)

The entire cinematography of the drama focuses solely on nostalgia and calmness. The angles and color grading throughout the show express melodramatic feelings such as bittersweetness and sorrow, and on top of that, the frames that caught the visuals of the actors added more emotions and depth. As for the sensual scenes, the darkness of the atmosphere gives more impact since it matches the mood of the story.

Chemistry & Romance (10/10)

These Japanese men showcased their chemistry with all of their might! Suzuki and Kyoya's domestic lives have never been this naturally sweet. I keep giggling whenever they interact with each other, especially when doing their love languages. Throughout the entire show, their chemistry or dynamic has never felt awkward and weird, it shows how they both practiced and took time to build their friendship before diving into the portrayal of their assigned characters. I could say that these professional actors have what it takes to become more famous than what they have right now.

Overall & Rewatch Value (10/10)

This is one of the more mature BL shows that's done very well. The production value is off the charts, and the production team did a great job in casting the actors and actresses. I could rewatch this show all over again for the hundredth time and would never find myself complaining or finding this show boring. I'm biased but I believe that the uniqueness of the story's progression and the compatibility of actors make the show even more interesting and intriguing to the point that I'm attached to the show.

(Eng sub) Kyuuso wa chiizu no yume wo miru/The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese (2020)

Hello from this side of the pandemic! I subbed another queer film! Directed by Yukisada Isao, this was the 34th highest grossing film of 2020 in Japan making 7 billion yen (6.7 million usd) at the box office, which is no small feat considering it’s rated R-15 for containing graphic gay sex scenes. Anyway, please continue scrolling!

Summary: Ootomo Kyouichi (boyband idol Ookura Tadayoshi) is a wishy-washy man-whore with a seemingly successful life. This all changes when his wife hires a private detective (Narita Ryou) who turns out to be a man from his past. A whirlwind romance ensues.

Note: There is quite a bit of sex in this film so I probably wouldn’t watch it with my grandpa.

I know that many of you visit my blog for wholesome content, so please notice that this is not exactly a heartwarming film. No gays are buried or killed so you don’t have to worry about that, but these are some deeply flawed, quite terrible people. At the same time, there is something very human about their brand of terrible, whether it’s blaming others for your own actions or sabotaging your happiness because you’re addicted to feeling miserable.

My review of this film is that it feels like a long moody drive in the night and into dawn.

To watch, please make sure the video and the subtitle file are saved in the same folder under the same name, and the subs should play automatically at least on VLC or Media Player Classic.

You can use my translation in fannish works, but please do not reupload my subs or my raw files to streaming sites. That’s all I ask. I have a Kofi if you’d like to leave me a tip, but let’s be honest no one forced me to do this, so please don’t feel obliged.

Download links:

I recorded & converted the film myself. I had some technical issues which is why the film is in two parts, I’m sorry about that. I will not offer any technical support. Please try again if the files are down.
