[You should ask to change pairs.] Before you go cold like me. If you're cold, why are you making that face? You aren't a cold person. You're actually very gentle.

[youtreatmelikeaman]

oh my fucking god what the fuck are those hideouts ????? yea no kidding you’re getting weird looks those are the worst hidden journalists i’ve ever seen

[towardthehurricane]

that was one nonchalant confession

[notafanbut]

So been thinking about episode 3 and whilst I love their dynamic - Onoe being all pissed and riled up about these *feelings*, Kaburagi clearly caring in his off-hand *cool* way, I'm just not sure how it is playing.

Kaburagi kisses Onoe by tricking him - no asking.

Onoe is assaulted by the Secretary, rescued by Kaburagi, who delicately rebuttons his shirt...but then comes on to him..... And whilst it is clearly different. No stripping him, gentle face holding, and erotic rather than an attack, I still found myself shouting 'what about consent'? Or is it okay cos you are contemporaries and the other guy was old? And you know he likes you.....

It's just, I don't know....feels a bit manipulative?

Ameiro Paradox (2022). Drama review

Ameiro Paradox (飴色パラドックス) | 2022 | Japan | screenplay and direction: Furumaya Tomoyuki

Ameiro Paradox is one of those dramas that are not complex, but even though very enjoyable to watch. There is no extensive network of connections between characters, no digging into their pasts, and no twists and turns. I came across the term comfort series the other day, and I think this drama fits the category perfectly.

Yes, I love to lose myself in multi-layered plots and breathtaking frames. But, for balance, I like stories that warm my heart. That's why Ameiro Paradox will stay in my memory for a long time.

The main characters are Onoe and Kaburagi, who work for the weekly gossip magazine Dash! - Onoe as the reporter, Kaburagi as the cameraman. They are assigned to work as a duo, which is not convenient for them. Onoe follows ethical principles in life, while Kaburagi has nothing to do with them in case of getting a scoop. Onoe despises Kaburagi's flirtatiousness, and Kaburagi is annoyed by Onoe's naivety.

At first glance, they are different and do not fit together as partners at work, let alone a romantic relationship.

However, as history progresses, it turns out they have as much in common as they differ. Just like the fact they are both introverts. Their dislike for each other is incredibly short. Most of the story is feigned dislike, which only adds to their relationship's charm.

Onoe is fascinated to discover that Kaburagi actually has a gentle personality. The hard shell is something that Kaburagi created because of and for the work. Onoe is the only one who manages to break through it. While he doesn't endorse Kaburagi's methods of achieving goals, Onoe also admires that he always gets what he wants.

Kaburagi admires that Onoe stays at peace with himself even in such environment. Onoe appears to him as pure, unsullied in this dirty world. He notices his brilliance, analytical thinking, and ability to connect the dots. Looking at his advantages, even his flaws, such as clumsiness or naivety, seem winsome.

At some point in the story, there is a misunderstanding between them. Onoe is carrying out the action alone, without Kaburagi and it ends successfully. While Onoe is very pleased with himself, Kaburagi becomes cold and distant towards him. Why is he sulking for no reason, is he a hypocrite? After all, he is the one who deceives people to achieve a goal, so why is he so offended when Kaburagi only did his job well? What's this about?

When they worked as a duo, there was a kind of division of blame. When Onoe went on a mission alone, it stripped him of his innocence. Kaburagi always wanted to protect him during their work - not only from direct threat as kidnapping or abusing. He didn't want Onoe to become cold and soulless like him. Poor Onoe, he just wanted to show himself as an independent individual who could be as good at investigating as Kaburagi. It took the opposite turn than intended.

Fortunately, the characters explain everything to each other in the end. Their love is sweet, charming, and this is the warmth in the heart that I wrote about at the beginning.

Coming to the end of my review, I have to mention Masayan, Onoe's friend who runs the pub. The pub is Onoe's contemplative area, and Masayan is the voice that allows him to gather his thoughts, put together mismatched puzzle pieces, and helps him make a decision. In dramas we often deal with a phenomenon - I would call it - talking for talking's sake. Good friends but lousy advisory. I'm not saying there should be philosophical treatises, but I can't stand truisms and pointless advice. Here we have one of the most valuable characters in dramas at all. We need more of them! Such friends in real life too :).

As for me, the drama has the potential for the second season! I'd love to see further adventures in Kaburagi's and Onoe's demanding work and how their relationship develops.

Favorite quotes:

🌸 Onoe: I just thought if you had to do it against your will, I would do it myself. Because I knew you didn't like that kind of task. […] And I didn't want to see you suffering. So I offered to do it instead. Kaburagi: But I'd rather do it myself than let you do it for the same reason as you.

🌸 Onoe: You know, you always smell good. Kaburagi: Really? But I didn't wear any perfume. Onoe: It's probably the shampoo. Kaburagi: So… If we live together, we'll smell the same.
