Tsukuretai Onna to Tabetai Onna Favorite scenes - Part 1

I am rewatching the show following the current rebroadcast to prepare myself for the second season, and I picked my favorite moment in each of episode 1 to 3:

Episode 01: Nomoto getting overwhelmed and happy crying at Kasuga polishing off the plate of food she cooked.

Episode 02: Nomoto and Kasuga falling into the easiest domesticity when cleaning the dishes/making tea.

Episode 03: Getting distracted from the gyoza by the other woman enjoying the food.

Bonus: Nomoto excited little wriggle-dance after Kasuga invites her on a date to the farmer market ❤ ❤

Love Between Fairy and Devil in all seriousness - Episode 8 (description in alt)

Tsukuretai Onna to Tabetai Onna Favorite scenes - Part 3

I am nearly a full week late for the last installment (I got slightly distracted by Ossan Love's Returns) but here it is! My selection for episodes 8-10 and the end of season 1 o.｡.:*☆

Episode 08: Kasuga tenderly gently wrapping her jacket around a sick Nomoto (the care! the romance!!)

Episode 09: Nomoto and Kasuga cooking together and Nomot's delighted giggles.

Episode 10: of course I had to go with the hand holding!

Bonus: Kasuga's beautiful, happy, smitten smile.

This show truly is a little gem, it's full of such gentle, touching moments. The whole of episode 08 and Nomoto's realization still makes me ache (in a good way) no matter how many times I watch it. I'm glad season 2 has started because I was missing those women already!

If you fancy, I'd love to hear what are y'all favorite scenes from the show (´꒳`)♡

Tsukuretai Onna to Tabetai Onna Favorite scenes - Part 2

This week's rewatch covered episodes 4 to 7, and as we go further, it gets harder and harder to only chose one single moment. But! that's the game so, here we go.

Episode 04: "I'm just having so much fun that it's not processing well." Nomoto-san my beloved (translation @furritsubs)

Episode 05: Nomoto's face and demeanor changing when her mother dismisses her talking about Kasuga

Episode 06: Baby Kasuga realizing that she should be allowed to eat and enjoying her late night snack.

Episode 07: Sayama-san breaking it to Nomoto that she looks in love.

Bonus: Kasuga uses Puppy Eyes. It's very effective.

So they grew up together, they were childhood friends.

Do you think Tanthai used to come to Thee every time he had a scrap, every time he got scolded by his father? Was Thee, a little older, maybe just a little more serious, always there to wipe his tears and put a band-aid on his knee, to take his hand and run away with him to hide and play in the garden until his father calmed down? (Do you think the gardener knowingly kept silent about the mess they made in the flower beds when they played ball, indulgent ?)

Do you think that's why, despite Thee's current silence and inaction, despite how he accuses him of only staying by his side for money, Tanthai still seems to trust him? Why he keeps turning to him, keeps asking him again and again and again to please take him away from here? - like Thee is the only who could.

They were friends, and now Thee looks like he can't even touch him, taking a step back when Tanthai moves like he's going to reach for him. What happened since that picture? Did Thee grew up, a little faster than Tanthai, realizing that what he felt was changing? That the way they were with each other would start to attract disapproving looks and comments? Did he add this to the awareness of his situation regarding the Senator's family, of propriety and what was acceptable, and realize that this could not happen? That he had to distance himself (as much as he could, because despite it all he knew he couldn't go away)?

Did Senator Thatthep notice the comfort his son found in Thee, the closeness between them that was becoming more than the friendship of young boys? Did he take Thee aside, did he leverage the debt Thee feels he has toward him, did he threaten to send him away from Tanthai? What did Thee have to promise to be able to stay by his side? (would he have promised anything to not have to live with the emptiness in his chest when he thinks of not being around Tanthai?) Always be professional, follow Thatthep's order, never, ever forget your place and think you can even pretend to be anything more than a loyal bodyguard to Tanthai. Come back to him ready to protect him with your life but never showing him any form of tenderness, of kindness that could be seen as inappropriate. And so Thee did as he was told and kept his distance.

(Is that why when Thee finally reaches for him, his hand a gesture of quiet worry, Tanthai breathes again?)

Is that what Thee remembers, when he looks at the photo of them as children? All he has given up to be with Tanthai, in that shadow of a relationship, only to see him miserable, suffering, and hating himself. Is that what will finally make him decide that just being there isn't enough? That he has to give Tanthai more than mere presence if he wants them to make it through it?

Well, I sure hope so. For both their sake at this point.
