It's the way he's always reaching out to him, always holding on, both of them desperate not to be alone but to reach out, to risk holding on, to touch... it's a human need, to be touched and to be loved and to be wanted and it's beautiful.

HIDAMARI GA KIKOERU (2024, JAPAN)

Episode 1

Premiere: June 26, 2024 on GAGAOOLALA

Japan is adapting itself as it should be. In 2017 a film version called SILHOUETTE OF YOUR VOICE was released.

The story is Sugihara Kohei(NAKAZAWA MOTOKI) is a hard of hearing law student in university. Because of this he isolates himself until he meets loud and annoying Sagawa Taichi (KOBAYASHI TORANOSUKE) who stands on the side of what is right even if a bit hot-headed.

Kohei quickly becomes enamored with the loud Taichi as his clear and demanding voice can be heard by Kohei. Is Taichi seeing Kohei the way Kohei sees him? Or will they be more than friends and less than lovers?

Anyway Taichi will lead Kohei out of his basically self imposed exile.

Something I love about Love Is Better the Second Time Around is that both of their reasons for feelings betrayed by each other are understandable.

Miyata thought Iwanaga wasn't taking him seriously because he saw him joking around with his friends. So obviously he doesn't trust Iwanaga. Miyata thought Iwanaga saw him as just some silly joke.

Iwanaga on the other hand was very serious, but wasn't able to communicate that. Even if eloping was kind of a joke, a part of him was serious about it because it involved Miyata. He saw it as his chance to show how serious he was and looked forward to being alone together. When Miyata didn't come he felt betrayed. He must've thought "oh, I guess I'm not that special".

Miyata seems to have moved away soon after that so they must've spend over a decade without any communication/resolve. For Iwanaga, he ended up wanting Miyata and being even more direct. For Miyata, his distrust only got worse.

I love them

Love.

Happy of the End showed a lots of real life offences that are never or very rarely talked about in media, the topics that are often often swooped under the rug.

And still have us a happy ending. That's something else totally.

When time travel shows and chaebol shows can easily forget the money troubles of people falling in love, and that just being a self soothing entertainment, this show dove deep into every possible trauma that a money and protection less kid or man might face in the world and still showed how some unnamable attraction turning into dependency can turn into love and inturn make those in love better human.

The story telling, the cityscapes and landscapes, their clothings, the tender caretakings, the essentiality of friendships forgetting the harsh pasts and the necessity of letting go and coming back, both Chihiro and Haoren wanting to cook better for each other, the waiting and loving, the dreams remembered and the promises kept.

Haoren not wanting to take the boats on ride when the park is closed because it's illegal, when his whole life, almost everything that has kept him alive is illegal showed how deep down he is still a kind and regular citizen afraid of law. And after getting saved, him surrendering to the police to pay for his crimes still shows the same. I read the meta about un-registered population in Japan and probably Haoren/Hayato was one such kid and that makes me more sad.

How the new co-worker calls him Haoren because he no more needs the Keito name or anything else. And him crying on seeing Chihiro's photo, when he infact didn't cry on seeing that old lady/assumed mom dead. Haoren has come a long way.

How its Chihiro now, pursuing his dream, doing whatever he wanted and could do, is asking places from Matsuki and waiting for Haoren, is a whole circle but a non toxic one.

Final thoughts :

Love, perhaps, is a healing and hope giving feeling.

Friendships, in life, are important too.

MISEINEN: MIJUKUNA ORETACHI WA BUKIYO NI SHINKOCHU (2024, JAPAN)

Episode 4 (Post 1 of 2)

Minase Jin (MOTOJIMA JUNSEI) has bad news to share with Hirukawa Haruki (KAMIMURA KENSHIN) about his possibility of having to move abroad since his parents are officially divorcing.

The two boys can't escape the feelings growing for one another. The passion. The inability to not touch. Is this love?

Haruki said to Minase in the beginning of this episode I WILL NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU, WERE BOTH MEN, RIGHT?

Happy of the End Review: Love, Trauma, and Despair Collide

Happy of the End is a dark drama that explores a tumultuous relationship between two broken men, Chihiro and Keito. With themes of trauma, abuse, and survival, this noir-like series offers a grim, complex take on love and despair.

Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram) “I want to die” Those are probably not the first words you’d expect to hear after a kiss. But, well, the Japanese series Happy of the End isn’t your typical romantic drama either. Kashiwagi Chihiro is young, beautiful, penniless, disowned by his family for being gay, and thrown to the streets by his latest lover for being unfaithful. One day, at a bar, he…
