Koi wo Suru nara Nidome ga Joto (2024)

Unexpected gem of a story!

This is one of the best written BL stories i've seen in ages. There is coherent adult characters that behave like logical sentient human being with relatable reasons for why they make certain choices. Plot line is simple but very well done and dialogues are incredibly well written and engaging, they actually make you want t listen to what they have to say and see ho things will evolve (and yes characters DO talk about things instead of having ridiculous misunderstandings that makes you eye roll so badly you're scared your eyes will fall out of your head).
Acting is great too, for all the characters form leads to secondary actors, all perfectly chosen. Differently from some comments i've also felt the chemistry and the sensual tension between the main characters from start to end, to me it was expressed perfectly and was on point. The contrast between their younger self with puppy love and all the uncertainty of a first relationship and their adult self with acquired confidence and experience is evident and again very well presented. An unexpected gem of a story that it's worth watching and rewatching too

I love every episode.

I love every episode until I rewatched the whole thing again before watching the last episode today lol (I follow it every week). This series is really beautiful (cinematography, OST, dialogue), the plot is neat and tight, and sexy lol. I don't know why, even though all the characters are dressed in thick clothes, but the aura is still really sexy. The acting of all the actors is good (especially Senpai) and the chemistry between the MCs is also really good. The premise has actually been used by many BL (or dramas in general?); met the teen first love, when they were already adults. But I think the execution is really good. The explanation is clear and coherent, why do they behave like that when they grow up. The ending also makes you really satisfied, the last episode really answers the first episode. Miyata's gaze at Senpai at the end is the same as when he was a teenager, totally bliss. BTW, I like that they use different actors between the adult version and the teenage version; I'm a bit annoyed by dramas that use the same actors for the school and adult versions, sometimes the actors look too old to wear uniforms.

My favorite is Senpai. From the start, his character is made ambiguous (both when he was a teenager and now an adult) and kind of love bombing so he looks manipulative, till the end we (and Miyata) doubt whether his love is genuine or not? But everything was answered in the last episode.

I will miss this series so much.
