Hidamari ga Kikoeru (2024)

mudaram vidas

eu me lembro que depois de ver o primeiro episódio de hidamari eu senti que minha vida tinha sido transformada, fiquei completamente obcecado conforme os episódios iam saindo semanalmente. Eu ja comentei (acho) em alguma review anterior que a maneira mais fácil de me convencer a assistir algo é falar que tem gays ou surdos no meio e aqui tem os dois!!!

Queria falar primeiro sobre como foi extremamente divertido acompanhar o taichi e o kohei. acho que o taichi se tornou um dos meus personagens favoritos do mundo Bl, o modo como ele é expressivo, uma pessoa que se importa e cuida dos outros (me apaixonei por ele no primeiro ep). Assim como acompanhar o kohei é uma montanha russa de sentimentos.

Sobre a história é muito linda e divertida, mesmo. Eu acho que ela foi bem construída e as tramas foram bem introduzidas ao longo da série. Eu acho que o ponto alto é como tratar de um assunto tão denso e sentimental de uma forma relativamente leve e descontraída.

Sou deficiente auditivo e foi impossível não se identificar com muitos aspectos que eram retratados na série, especialmente os que envolviam o kohei ou a maya. Apesar de achar que eles fizeram um ótimo trabalho eu percebi uma coisa nos episódios finais (que também está presente em outras obras com personagens surdos) é como existe sempre um grande sofrimento envolvendo esses personagens e pra aliviar esse sentimento vem uma pessoa não surda. Não é uma vida fácil, mas não é um sofrimento diário.

Só para finalizar, queria muito que esse ultimo episódio não fosse o último. Apesar deles terem fechado a história de uma boa forma fiquei com sensação de que ficou faltando algo.

A Beautiful Continuation of their Story

The word 'Beautiful' perfectly encapsulates this series. The story, the sounds, whether a summer or a rainy day, the characters, and the people in their lives all come together to make it a beautiful and comforting watch.

This series adapts the story from the manga and movie into something unique. The world of two beautiful souls who have been neglected in different ways; they meet and form a beautiful connection. While this version is familiar, several changes have already improved the overall story. My expectations are high.

A bonus is that I'm already in love with the actors' interpretations of these roles and look forward to watching their chemistry unfold. I definitely recommend this one!

It's not a BL, it's a pre-relationship story, but it's a good story worth a one time watch

I wouldn't recommend it as a BL, I classify it as pre-BL because they did not actually move beyond being friends until the last few minutes of the show, not even through anything being implied or in subtext, as intended in Cn BLs. They were actually, genuinely just friends for 12 episodes then they confessed and it ended. Still, I would recommend it as a one time watch for anyone who likes a well written story tackling something different in a life drama series.

I had my hope for episode 11, however the ending was just okay. It's another J (not really BL) that I can't give a 10, not even a 9 really, just an 8, and basically just because it was a good production, well written with an interesting story and good acting, but I can't rate it a 10 because it wasn't actually a BL and that's a false lead I don't appreciate.

GOOD:
- Acting
- Casting
- Production Value
- OST
- Writing
- Pacing

BAD:
- It's in the wrong genre, this is not a BL. If you watch it with the wrong expectations, you'll be disappointed, if you watch it as a story about a disability with two guys who end up admitting their feelings for each other in the last 5 minutes of the show, you'll be better prepared.
- Feels like false advertising.

There is no UGLY in this, I don't regret watching it.

HIGHLIGHT:
- Kobayashi Toranosuke, quite a gem of an actor.

---

Side Note:
From my personal perspective a 'BL' like this -with no actual BL- is made for two reasons-
1. New actors need a show in which they can depict their acting range so they can get better and more main roles in the future
2. They need a show that will make them popular and well known, fast

A BL series these days is the fastest track to achieve that for young male actors, however the downside of this is usually that the actors don't want to do BL or be associated with it long term, so the show barely scrapes by being a BL at all, just toes the line, as it were, which is what has happened here. Another example of this was Star Struck (except that show was not well written at all). I could be wrong, but when I see a good production like this with 'BL' slapped on it when there is basically no BL in it at all, there is no other explanation I can think of. The people behind it are just trying to jump on the fast track BL band wagon. Which, blah.

Even so, as a standalone show it was entertaining and I am glad to have discovered Kobayashi as an actor, it's the first time I've found a Japanese actor likable, talented and attractive since Kenichi Matsuyama so many years ago. I will move on from this very quickly though. It failed to leave a lasting impression. They had one shot in the final ep to have an emotional impact on the BL viewers in ep 12, but even the hug after the confession didn't land well at all.

If they make a sequel they might redeem the first season. Here's hoping.

8/10

utterly adorable, a must watch for sure

After reading the manga, watching the movie, and now finally this series-- can I say just how much I adore this beautiful slow burn?

The story follows Taichi-- a naturally loud and honest guy who often gets himself into fights with his blunt words and tendency to talk with his fists. He quite literally slides into Kouheis world one day, an anti-confrontational loner who is hard of hearing, and seemingly hard to approach. Taichi however has no such difficulty getting close to him, and they become fond of eachother almost immediately.

You immediately fall in love with both of the MCs, the chemistry between them is so well done, and the flow of their relationship has such a natural feel. The actors themselves are adorable, they both do an amazing with their characters.

Production is good too, unlike a lot of manga adaptations, this drama doesn't have corny transition sounds or effects, yet they still stay incredibly cannon to the manga, and near identical to the movie.

My ONLY qualm with this drama is that it felt a bit rushed at the end, though we did finally get our long awaited happy ending, it felt almost as lacking as the open ending from the movie. I wanted to finally get to see them interact like lovers, even without a kiss is fine, but some chemistry at the end to show the shift between friends and lovers would have been perfect.

Overall, absolutely lovely, definitely recommend the watch.
