Kimi ni wa Todokanai (2023)

Es la mejor serie japonesa del mundo!!!!

I Can't Reach you es la primera produción japonesa que me introdujo al mundo del bl japones.
Es perfecta en termino de historia y narrativa. Dos amigos de la infancia en donde uno es secretamente enamorado del otro.
En comparacion de muchos otros dramas con esa misma tematica de "el amigo gay se enamora de su amigo hetero" esta tuvo un desarrollo coherente en la relacion de los dos protagonista, como lentamente iban transicionando de amigos a algo mas.
La historia en si es muy linda, calida y tiene un balence perfecto de todo lo que el publico quiere ver.
Ame a Yui!! Siempre es necesario ese amigo que da un pequeño empujon para que la relacion de los protagonistas fluja. Gracias por tanto Yui y perdon por tan poco!!!

I HOPE THEY REACH MORE (Audience)

A perfect reminder of that sweet first high-school love.

A quick recap. This is the story of Yamato, the perfect student who is liked by everyone, but only yearns the love of his dorky childhood friend Kakeru, whom he liked for a long time. His feelings for Kaeru grew so strong, that even if he was afraid he'd be rejected, mustered up all his courage to finally confess to Kakeru. Kakeru on the other hand discovers that he himself likes Yamato - more than just a friend, and struggled to find the perfect way to finally confess that he feels the same way for Yamato.

Short. Sweet. Too short. Too sweet. I WANT MORE.

Both main leads fit and played the role perffectly! I was even a little surprised that Maeda Kentaro took on this role, as he has already starred in a few drama and doesnt actually need the BL hype. Kashiwagi Haru is so adorable as Kakeru. There is something about Japanese drama's 'awkward' acting that makes the scenes authentic. This is how we are in real life, and the way they talked to each other makes you really feel like you are watching the blossoming of love, the coming of age, raw and somewhat uninscripted.

There are times though that I wanted to know how their peers will react if they knew that the two best friends are now dating - there were in fact a lot of scenes that i thought the secret was revelead to the world but then it was glazed over. I do understand though that this BL is not about the acceptance of the world around them, its about the personal struggle of two boys realizing their feelings for each other.

What I also love is that Japanese BLs even if they are short, somewhat feel like you are watching a standard full-length full-production drama. The music and song is amazing and i easily found myself repeating each episode twice. Overall its a 9,5 and I hope a lot more BL fans discover this wonderful of a gem.
