yo

thank you so much for your reactions! again i totally agree with everything you said haha (can’t wait for the reunion vids they are kinda funny, Be careful of spoilers) also there is a little clip on twitter with snippets from the show they didn’t include in which at the start on the first day dai and shun worked together they talked about on a scale of 0-100 on which 100 is marriage and 50 is dating, for shun it’s really hard and takes a long time to go from 0 to 1 😅 but then it goes really fast from 1 to 50 (which i think is what we’ve seen) and dai said he goes easy from 0 to 30 but then it takes him some time to go from 30 to 50. so yeah im kinda bummed they didn’t put that clip in the show because i think it would have explained their behaviour even more and i shows that shun told dai from the start that the first spark the first step from 0 to 1 is hard and takes long which is why dai might have not stopped as he already was aware of that. There also Reddit posts which talk about some language barrier things etc. ☺️

There's this reason interview from the cast of the boyfriend in magazines. Kazuto being ask about something he regret during the show and he said "not raising my hand more to work with Usak, i feel my time very limited with him" To be honest, i kind a doubt when you said Kazuto into Usak in the house, and only him, but reading what kazuto feel now, i think you right all along 👍

it’s finally over 🥹 !!! honestly loved ur reactions and how u were able to understand all of them 🤍 btw I would be careful reading the comments on both patreon and yt bc there ppl might spoil how things turned out which is supposed to be a ‘big’ reveal in the reunion considering the show was filmed last year 🤞

Wdym? Ryota was the pushiest person in the house. And very disrespectful of Kazuto's feelings. He constantly sent him messages while K was on dates. As soon as K came back from his first overnight date R was calling him aside asking about his feelings. K even had to tell him to stop calling him aside. Kazuto did later outright reject him. Then very blatantly didn't chose him for any further dates. Then R STILL asks him to leave the house with him. Like wtf?! So, K has to reject him AGAIN. Nah, Ryota's behaviour was so not it.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful reactions! I completely agree with everything you mentioned, especially regarding Shun. People often overlook the fact that he was raised in an institutional setting, where he likely had no one to teach him how to express his emotions or feelings. He had to manage everything on his own, with little to no support from a very young age. Kids in these institutions in Japan typically grow up in groups, with staff members providing care as part of their job, which isn't the same as having a family environment. This can be seen in some of his behaviors, like the way he sits with his legs tucked in and swaying—signs of self-soothing and regulation often found in children who lack proper guardianship or a stable family. Moreover, his first relationship at 18 was with someone who was 30, and his next partner was 28, both of which, as he mentioned, were very toxic. It’s no wonder his emotional defenses are high, and his way of expressing himself is vastly different from Dai, who grew up in a seemingly supportive family environment. It was really frustrating to see how many people reacted negatively to him. Many commented that they didn’t understand Shun, found him frustrating, or felt he should just say what he thinks. However, if you pay attention to his expressions and words, he’s actually quite easy to read—especially compared to someone like Kazuto. He does express what he means, just in his own way. Your reactions were spot-on on, very objective, and didn’t label any single member. Thank you again! Can't wait to see you react to the watch party and the live~

(i think this is going to be long, so i'll break it up via replying to myself so there isn't just a massive wall of text in the comments 😅) i definitely agree that i don't really like Ikuo's actions throughout most of his time on the show. it was so dumb of him to get involved in Shun & Dai's issue regardless of his intentions, and as for his confession, i don't have an issue that he did it (it feels like a theme of the show, and might just be a cultural thing, to confess/express yourself so that you can just get it out there even if the person you like is already in a relationship and you know they're 99.9% likely to reject you. almost like closure so you can move on, in that case), he could have done it more gracefully though, i think we all agree shading Shun while confessing was in very poor taste.

BUT i will say i feel like i get why he's been the way he has toward Shun pretty much since he arrived at the house (not that i condone any of his behavior, just that i think i can see where he might be coming from). he's young and inexperienced, and his personality doesn't mesh with Shun's, especially since he doesn't seem to have the patience Dai (or really any other members of the house) has. so rather than seeing Shun's words/actions and understanding they're coming from a place of trauma, insecurity, and just a very different lived experience, from his perspective Shun just seems like a really toxic guy manipulating Dai. most of us have probably experienced seeing a friend/loved one in a toxic/abusive relationship at some point and the frustrations that come with having to watch it play out and not really being able to do much about it even when you want to. and sometimes from the outside it can look similar to what Shun & Dai's relationship looks like, particularly when you don't have the insight we viewers have had, or even the rest of the house has had having lived with them for longer than Ikuo. so even if he didn't have feelings for Dai, i can see him acting the way he has been if he feels he's seeing a harmful relationship someone he cares about as a friend or more is involved in. he probably has a bit of a savior's complex tbh. so that being said, it's possible he did have good intentions and really thought he was doing something good by highlighting Shun's "negative" qualities/actions in comparison to how he felt Dai deserved be treated. it's not an excuse, it's still a crappy way to go about everything. but that could possibly be where Ikuo's head was at, which is what keeps me from flat out hating him. i just have a regular amount of dislike for him atp lmao

sorry for the essay! good grief this got longer than i expected, yapping about Ikuo of all things too 🙄 anyway, i've really enjoyed your reaction and thoughtful commentary to this show, i absolutely agree with SO much of what you've said about many different cast members, the topics that were discussed, about poor Kazuto just needing a break (#LetKazutoRest2k24), and i especially love how fair you've been regarding Shun and his behavior. i also identify with Shun quite a bit, like you've said before though i'd like to think i'm at least somewhat better adjusted than he is, being about 7 years older than him myself 😅 it can be frustrating seeing people mischaracterize him so badly, so your reactions have been a breath of fresh air. i'm excited to see you react to the reunion episode and interview, especially since i haven't actually seen either one in full yet. i decided i'd just wait and watch along with a reactor, and since you're definitely my favorite when it comes to The Boyfriend, I'm stoked you're planing to check those out. to finally conclude; thanks for watching this series with everyone, and i'm glad you enjoyed it so much!

Regarding "I love you" been used very soon for it to be just a month of them knowing each other, actually the term they use is "daisuki", which from my understanding would be more correct to be translated as "I like you very much". It's basically a cross between like and love, where it's very clear that the "like" is of a romantic kind. "I love you" as it is intended in the English language would be "aishteru".

Are you reacting to his man 3 right after?
