Kurosawa accidentally finding out that Adachi has a praise kink and using it to his advantage.

Constantly complimenting him when he finished something at work by petting his head. Sliding his hand down to gently grip his nape as he lets Adachi know “How good” he’s beings for him.

Feeling pure exhilaration as he leaves Adachi a stuttering mess to go help a coworker.

Getting home late to find Adachi cleaning and calling him a “good boy” before giving his the deepest kiss he can before going to shower.

Sitting on the couch with his legs crossed and calling Adachi random names until he reacts in a certain way.

“Baby? Love? …Princess?”

Feeling like he won the lottery as he chases a visibly affected Adachi back into their room to use the new term in bed to make Adachi as embarrassed as he can because let’s be honest.

The man had a thing for humiliation.

Top ten bl couples- 2022 version.

(This may change as new dramas come out). In no particular order. These are just the ones that I enjoyed the most for various reasons. Posting this just because I have watched so many shows that I have lost count, but yet these are my absolute faves.

1. Adachi and Kurosawa. (Cherry Magic). Such a lovely story about respect and overcoming anxiety. They have such a sweet relationship and their story was really well paced. I want to see more of them.

2. Yoohan and Yeonwoo. (Color Rush). I loved their story and was so upset about season 2. They had such great chemistry and were literal soulmates.

3. Sarawat and Tine. (2gether). This was such a dorky but sweet romance story and season 2 only made it cuter. They had such great chemistry and I loved their interactions.

4. Mark and Ouwen. (Love is science). Even though they were a side couple I loved their story and the found family they created. They also had great chemistry and character development.

5. Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu. (Word of honor). Two messed up and traumatised people band together and accidentally created a family while causing chaos. Loved their dynamics.

6. Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji. (The untamed). I have always loved these two from MDZS. They are such opposites but fit so perfectly.

7. Togawa and Nozue. (Old fashion Cupcake). I loved their banter and their relationship development. Their age gap was perfectly incorporated into the show. I wish the series was longer so we could see more but the few episodes were also amazingly well paced.

8. Arthit and Kongpob. (Sotus). They were one of my first dramas and I have had a soft spot for them ever since. Grumpy cat and smitten puppy is a perfect dynamic and I love it.

9. Jack and Zhao Zi. (History3: Trapped). Sunshine and sunshine protector with such a great storyline. Mercenary and a policeman with a surprising little amount of drama considering their backgrounds. They’re just so sweet and I love them so much.

10. Jang Jaeyoung and Chu Sangwoo. (Semantic Error). They had such great enemies to lovers plot and the height difference was adorable. They had me hooked by the first episode and their interactions are everything.

If you haven’t seen any of these shows then I high key recommend.

I was rewatching episode 7 with subs and it suddenly struck me how Adachi and Kurosawa both fell in love with the other basically for the same reason.

The parallel is simply beautiful: Kurosawa started to fall for Adachi when he was able to see beyond his perfect man image, and Adachi started to fall for Kurosawa when he was able to see beyond his mediocre man image.

What's even more beautiful? They reacted the exact same way.

Neither of them was expecting the other to see him for who he really is, but they both did, and this was the beginning.

Adachi: he’s the mf sun

Isn't it ironic, though? I can stand scenes of brutal rape and abuse like those in Non Zero Sum and Unchanged Man, but at the same time, I feel triggered by these scenes with normal characters' interactions like those in Cherry Magic? In other words, I can stand stories who are supposed to be not normal, but I can't go through stuffs which are supposed to be normal....I am okay with not normal stuffs and triggered by the normal ones.....

As of right now, if I had 3 wished, one of them would be for BL anime to be more mainstream so that studios would be more likely to dub them. I hate seeing really good-looking BL animes and finding out they won't be dubbed because BL isn't as marketable/has a smaller audience. I want a dub of Cherry Magic, and Dakaichi, and Doukyuusei, and so many other BLs.
