listening to the Shōgun podcast and Hiroyuki Sanada (Lord Toranaga) said that he actually tried to spend a lot of time with Yuki Kura ( Yoshii Nagakado aka his son in the series) to create that father and son bond 🥺🥺 they had barbecue together and went shopping

Creators: Rachel Kondo & Justin Marks (based on the novel by James Clavell)

Mini-review:

Damn, this is one masterful piece of television. It's outstanding in pretty much every regard (save for one, but I'll get to that later). From the very first episode, you can just tell the show's cast and crew poured all their passion into making this. The sets and costumes are amazingly detailed, and the writing is nothing short of spellbending; it's pretty much impossible to pry your eyes away from the screen. And the acting... just WOW. This is one superb ensemble. Everyone is so f**king good that I can't even pick an MVP. As for the one thing I didn't like, that would be the cinematography. This show falls prey to the Hollywood trend of making some scenes so dark that you can't see anything. But still, everything else is absolutely incredible, so I can forgive them for the darkness. Anyway, if you haven't started Shōgun already, you really should do it as soon as possible. It's a true must-watch.

His – I Didn't Think I Would Fall In Love

Just binged this delightful little 2019 coming-of-age series from Japan thanks to the recommendation from @lurkingshan. It's a short and sweet five episode story of teenagers coming to grips with love. The surfing setting took me back to beach summers in Santa Cruz so this also hit my nostalgia button. Sweet, funny and enjoyed the main characters' voyages into maturity.

Also, great hug to end the show.

In this world, there are countless things that we need to cherish. And all the things I cherish, will one day be gone. But, as long as that day hasn't come yet, I will hold on. I won't give up. Let's all keep on cherishing those that we treasure in life.

Hey P, I saw in one of your recent anon replies you said you'd love to see other countries takes on UWMA - and oh mY GODS! YES! I wish.

I was wondering if you have an ideal cast, country to country? Who would your picks be for the different productions?

(Side eyes Sam Lin as Dean for the Taiwan cast - also thought of Yagi Yusei as Team for Japan?!)

I was also wondering if there are elements of the story, dynamics, or characters you think different countries would do well, or what they'd bring to the table in terms of production and execution?

I genuinely can't wait to hear your thoughts if you have any!

Hope you're well and having a good May so far!

Oooo

Recasting Until We Meet Again

in different countries, 6 leads only, BL actors only, no existing pairs

(Generally I chose actors who are a bit too old for college, but this series could be set in a work place or sports environment etc… and the story would still work, so shrug.)

Taiwan

Dean - Sam Lin (We Best Love)

Pharm - Erek Lin (DNA Says Love You)

Korn - Alex Chou (My Tooth Your Love)

Inn - Shi Cheng Xuan (Plus & Minus)

Win - Hank Wang (Be Loved In House)

Team - Hsu Shuo Ting (About Youth)

You cannot tell me you aren't absolutely gagging for that last pairing. I think I'm brilliant.

Korea

If I didn't like busting up pairs I'd hand the Parks (Semantic Error) Dean & Pharm, and the 8th Sense boys their past selves. But since I'm feeling experimental...

Dean - Park Young Woon (The Director Who Buys Me Dinner)

Pharm - Choi Jae Hyun (Peach of Time)

Korn - Leo (Happy Ending Romance)

Inn - Gongchan (Unintentional Love Story)

Win - Kim Seong Hyuk (Choco Milk Shake)

Team - Jeon Chang Ha (First Love Again)

Alternate reality option: Hand it to OnlyOneOf and have them make a series of interpretive MVs about the darn thing.

Japan

Dean - Miyazawa Hio (His the movie)

Pharm - Kura Yuki (His the series)

Korn - Suzuki Jin (Given)

Inn - Oriyama Nao (Takara & Amagi)

Win - Komiya Rio (Eien no Kinou AKA Eternal Yesterday)

Team - Ohira Shuzo (8.2 Byo no Hosoku AKA 8.2 Second Rule)

Although we all know Japan would have Dean & Pharm AND Win & Team also end up apart/dead.

Righto, those are my picks!

Fun ask!

I think... everything is destroyed now.
