@kdramaspace + @userdramas YEAR IN REVIEW 2022 masterclass in acting (male) | best actor/favorite male character of 2022

Honestly, I’m starting to think it’s okay to stay like this. Because I really like Animal Beauty. So… I also thought of giving up my dream of going abroad to shoot. Careful not to be swallowed. Is that what you meant? I knew you’d remember. But… After I took this photo. Or rather… I changed my mind after meeting you, Umi-chan. I don’t want to continue lying to myself.

I thought you two would get along, since you're in the same program. Then let's eat ramen together and deepen our friendship.

We're playing a game after this. Would you like to join us? Eita really likes video games. This girl doesn't like them that much. Oh, I see. No, it's not that I don't like them. I just won't be able to control myself if I get addicted to them. But I'm really interested.

If it's like that, then why join this club? Does it really matter?

I like you. Because… I like you, Umi-chan. Why? “Why”, you say? I don’t know myself. I didn’t mean to. It’s all your fault. […] I also thought of giving up my dream of going abroad to shoot. But… After I took this photo. Or rather… I changed my mind after meeting you, Umi-chan. I don’t want to continue lying to myself. That’s what I mean to say. Yes. I see. I don’t need an answer. What? I’m going overseas next week. I don’t want to leave anything behind. So… what am I supposed to do?

Umi-chan. Yes? You’re not gonna stand a chance. Huh? No one told you to dress up? This is the default strategy for job hunting. It is absolutely safe to wear formal clothes when casual dressing is allowed… #kazao full-time photographer, part-time stylist and supporter [for umi-chan]

I once liked someone too. I had a one-sided love for a very long time. I realized that, ahh, this isn’t gonna work out. But I couldn’t do anything about it. So I thought it would be nice to at least be useful in that person’s life. After I had helped that person a little bit. Where do you think my feelings went? They didn’t go anywhere. It’s scary, isn’t it? It stays that way forever. Waiting for your feelings to wither away is more fruitless compared to a long unrequited love.

I don’t want to get into a fight with you. That’s why. Let’s make up.

That’s not the attitude of someone apologizing. Why are you taking pictures? I’m sorry about that, too. I’m sorry. Okay.

Are you going home? What’s the matter? Nothing, but there’s a breakfast meeting today. Aren’t you gonna stir natto?
