A Man Who Defies the World of BL (2021)

having a bad day? watch this

i don't remember when's the last time i had so much fun with a drama
this one had me in stitches with each episode
watching a guy try to dodge every single bl trope there is was a recipe for top notch comedy

though he claims to not have an inkling of desire to be involved in the bl world, mob is basically a matchmaker
this drama is simply a funny one which is great for a palate cleanser when you have no mood for dramas
the acting is the usual over the top style but it works because it is a parody of bl universe

overall, i highly enjoyed this for mob's chaoticness and how it wasn't overcomplicated
p.s. you'll catch me bopping to the ost

Hehe gay

I completed it and read the manga along the way. It was funny and I didn't expect the most was for the protagonist to be with a GUY. Because I thought the plot was about a straight man in a world full of gay men. There wasn't any hidden or dark meaning behind it and the ROMANCE Is definitely welcoming! I liked the male lead because he was very cute. So watch this with your brain turned off and enjoy laughing and giggling at the actors. The actors and music are the best ones here. They are all good-looking (maybe I'm a bit biased, teehee) and the music is, OH M GOD. You can't skip the opening, that's literally a taboo!

Really funny.

Even tho i'm not a fan of irrealistic stories i wanted to give it a try on this drama, and it was really the best thing to do cause i laughed for two seasons. The story is a bit superficial and there are a lot of filler episodes with multiple side stories that are really fast, but one thing that i liked is how in the future thoose side stories mix with the main one. For the acting, the way over the line story and reactions that i usually dislike here made me laugh really hard, even tho sometimes i got a bit of second hand embarrassment. Overall, it's a good drama, so if you want something simple and comic to just relaxate and laugh on absolute bl it's the perfect drama.

So close!!

The first 3/4 are perfect. The show explores fantastically the cliche scenarios para only happen in BLs time and time again. I love the fact that our protagonist is such an extra that he doesn't even have a name, he's just Mob. The fact that he's the only one aware that this is a BL world makes everything funnier.

I don’t hate the ending. It makes sense for the protagonist to end up falling for a guy. But it would have been so nice to actually see him escaping all the tropes and be alone in the end, judging everybody around him. Or at least have him fall for a guy without it being connected to super cliche, like what ended up happening.

Fora do padrão

As séries japonesas já tem um padrão de excelência no quesito atuação. Essa em especial, já começa bem a partir da abertura, onde ao invés de vários spoillers como é comum nas séries tailandesas, temos os protagonistas cantando e dançando a música principal da trilha sonora, uma música dançante, com uma letra super engraçada.
Quando somamos a atuação, a história totalmente fora dos padrões conhecidos (talvez por isso tão envolvente), a música e a fotografia, temos uma série apaixonante e que nos prende do início ao fim.
O casal secundário é simplesmente lindo e tem uma química perfeita, mais do que o casal principal em minha opinião.
Enfim, super indico essa série, o Japão arrasa nas produções e com certeza voltarei a assistir essa obra de arte.

To be honest I really enjoyed it .it was really fun to watch i know some of you guys wouldn't agree with me but im gonna write it anyway because it's killing me i don't think I'm gonna re-watch it because i don't think kikuchi was complimenting "mob" i mean i almost dropped the second season because i didn't like them together.. i was really happy when i found out he was gonna have a partner but i wished it was kikuchi.. really don't like them together.. maybe if there was different actor who played kikuchi i would've rewatched it . At last it was really fun to watch but i don't think i like the person who played kikuchi...that's my problem or else i think the drama itself is great.. waah it feels great writing a review..(^._.^)/

Divertentissima parodia

Una spassosissima trasposizione di un manga che si burla, senza mai sconfinare nell'omofobia, di tutti i cliché dei manga/drama BL. Qui la mimica esagerata di Atsuhiro Inukai la fa da padrona e non è assolutamente fuori posto, anzi, è decisamente un valore aggiunto per l'opera. Ma si lasciano guardare molto piacevolmente anche il dolcissimo Yūtarō nei panni del fratello minore del protagonista, e Akihisa Shiono come suo boyfriend.
Ovviamente il mattatore è Atsuhiro Inukai, che interpreta Mob, un personaggio di contorno che, rendendosi conto di trovarsi nel mondo del BL, e rifiutando categoricamente di innamorarsi di un altro ragazzo, fa di tutto per deviare l'attenzione lontano da sé per evitare di diventare il protagonista. Così, fra situazioni cringe oltre ogni limite, bellocci con sfondo floreale e musiche liberamente tratte da La bella e la bestia, il nostro si caccerà nei frangenti più imbarazzanti, non esitando a fungere da Cupido per chiunque lo avvicini e senza lesinare i colpi bassi.
Ma è possibile sfuggire alle leggi non scritte del mondo del BL? La domanda, ovviamente, è retorica.
Dopo aver abbondantemente sghignazzato per tutta la durata del drama, aiutata dal fatto di essere una fruitrice di contenuti BL convinta e di lunga data, passo direttamente allo special successivo. Non so se sarà alla stessa altezza, ma lo spero vivamente.

Hilarious and Fun Show

This show tells the story of a “straight” man who discovers that he was living in a BL world. All around him are boys falling in love and BL tropes happening. However, despite all of this, he is determined to find himself a girlfriend. The story focuses on him trying his best to escape all BL tropes and not become a “main character”

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT
- The premise of the show is so unique that I absolutely loved it. I haven’t seen anything like it before and the show delivers on their promise perfectly.
- The acting is absolutely hilarious. The MC really goes through a lot of emotions and he depicts them perfectly. Tropes that we might have found super romantic in another show just seemed hilarious in this one because of the MC’s reaction to it.
- I really like the MC’s little brother. He’s really cute and his romantic story is hilarious because he has 3 people pining for him.
- This show is extremely funny because it applies BL logic to real life and the MC is a normal person witnessing all this and trying to adapt. I like how he can write out a BL story in his head just by seeing someone for about a few seconds.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT
- I really didn’t like the MC’s love interest because first, there is no build up, just instant fall in love. And that love interest kisses another guy in season 2 before deciding MC is the better choice for him. He’s not good looking and he’s just not likeable.

**Conclusion**
This is a hilarious series that you need to take a look.

hilarious

This is one of the funniest series I've seen in a while.
The main character 'mob' plays his role so well, his face expressions and inner monologues are on point.
I think I laughed so hard even my neighbours heard.

Also, very binge worthy since it doesnt take that long, i went through all of it in one sitting (it says here 120 min but one rakuten it was divided into 4 episodes)

The scene where he was smelling the backs of his possible 'saviors', was hilarious,
and i loved the 'bubble love' theme song
starting on that second season right away!

So Funny!

This show is the definition of "stupid funny". The theme is so outlandish it's just too cute to pass up! They succeeded with the never seen before storyline and it wasn't cliché at all. I was laughing the whole time and the visuals are very nice lol. I liked that it wasn't all about kissing or sex. It's nice to be surprised with something different sometimes. I'm here cause my little cupcake Yutaro (from Cherry Magic) and I'm loving it. Looking forward to a S2! I'd recommend to pretty much anyone who enjoys a good laugh. Even just the opening had me giggly.
Enjoy...

While it is hilarious to watch "Mob" try to avoid all the traps that living in the BL world sets for him, I am glad that the series ends after four episodes -- it's exhausting. But that's kind of the point, right?
The tropes quickly come one after the other, and the whole drama is very fast-paced.

I loved all the side couples and the couples in the background. Also the parents really are the epitome of "mob"!

There is one, maybe a minor, point I did not like:
* I don't understand why "Mob" is so desperate to avoid a romance storyline -- I get it in the beginning, when he's reading about "Meriba"-endings, which I wouldn't like for me either, but after a while it just feels a bit homophobic, especially as he doesn't want his little brother to end up with a guy too! I wish we'd get a better explanation for that. As it is, the whole thing feels a little off for me especially regarding the ending, which kind of comes out of nowhere.

Recommended, if you need a laugh and if you know a lot of BL tropes.
