+ Funny
+ Sometimes more serious than expected
+ Great messages in how love works, what's important in life and that everything can be judged from different points of view.
+ Boundaries were respected
+ The friends of both of them are funny and lovely. I loooove Mugi! He's so cute! ? And Saku is so cool!
Room for improvement:
- I really find this japanese typical overacting a bit awkward sometimes
- Acting overall was okay, but a bit stiff. So the chemistry was a bit low. Even though Naoyas behavior is really lovely. But because of the not-so-good acting it got a bit lost
- It would have been great if they showed more progress in the relationship (how they come even closer and more comfortable with each other)
Overall I would recommend it, if you're into funny shows. The overacting is definitely a bit uncomfortable, but not so bad that someone couldn't handle it. The story all in all is not soo exciting, but it's still fun to watch. There are definitely minor serious themes and scenes which make the show a bit better, because although it starts with a lot of comedy, it shows the more serious sites behind the Luck/Unlucky stuff and what it means to them in their daily life. This gives the show more depth, which is nice.
Nothing I would rewatch, but I also don't regret spending my time with it.

Brilliant
I loved everything about this show, it was so funny and enjoyable I would definitely rewatch this a few more times. Kota is adorable, his 'cute' side may be annoying to some but I found him sweet and endearing, of course his 'real' self is even better ☺️. This is one of those shows to watch after a heavy drama or if you just want to watch something light and lift your spirit up.The second ML also did a good job portraying his role, and the chemistry was definitely there, though keep in mind it's a very light Japanese bl, don't come with expectations for a lot of romance, it's more of a comedy than anything else. Definitely 11/10

This was what I wanted no thoughts just romance <3
The title is genuinely so cute!This was what I wanted no thoughts just romance <3
Towards the end it was a little too much for such a light hearted watch but the gun was fake and was funny after so fine. I really wanted the inner monologue/over the top acting to de-stress so this is probably rated higher than I'd normally give it.
What I needed not necessary an amazing watch.
The ending was perfect!!
Too short want more where they slowly progress in their relationship. Would've loved if they went deeper with the girls and friendships.

Loved This!
I know this won’t be everyone’s cup of tea for a Japanese BL, as it’s a pretty typical BL with cuteness and lots of fluff. But for me, I really enjoyed it. The music drew me in originally as the ost is from the Japanese boy group, Octpath. The plot is very simple and not complicated. It’s a short series and very easy to binge watch in a day. It has some similar themes from Kieta Hatsukoi, Utsukushii Kare, and Cherry Magic. It’s overall a feel good type of drama and you learn a little bit about the characters as the storyline goes along. I recommend watching this if you were a fan of those three BLs mentioned above. I wouldn’t mind a season 2 to further the relationship, but we’ll see.Was this review helpful to you?
COMICALLY COMEDY WITH LIGHT-HEARTED ROMANCE
Fukou-kun wa Kiss Suru Shikanai! is a pretty decent live-action series. This is definitely a type of a series that you should watch if you want to take a break from all the serious dramas that you are watching and also your life.Story-pacing is one of the strong points of the series. The series is solely focused on the main characters and the situation surrounding them leaving no scope for loose ends.
STORY
Pretty simple with a bombardment of slapstick comedy. I deliberately used the word bombardment for the reason that I found some of the comic elements forcefully incorporated in unnecessary places. Often the serious tone of the series was interrupted by a comic undertone which just spoiled the atmosphere. If the team had just balanced out these two elements then the series would have come out more good.
ACTING
Sota Ryosuke did a pretty decent job in portraying Fukuhara Kota. I loved the duality of his acting but somehow there was something that irked me in his acting. He fell short while portraying certain emotions.
Sato Yusuke on the other hand did a good job in potraying his character Shinomiya Naoya. He just successfully made me feel absolutely single. Still, there were room for improvement but nevertheless he made me like Shinomiya Naoya.
MUSIC
I loved the opening song of the series, it is just so suitable for the series.
REWATCH VALUE
This is typically a kind of series that one would watch again and again without getting bored. The comedy and the light-hearted plot are just perfect for people who want to take their minds off something serious.
I found the ending to be a bit weak which I suppose they could've done better.

As LUCK may have it, opposites do attract
If you're into cute, funny and just a simple all around slice of life BLs with no angst, just pure fun, then this is the drama for you. It was easy going and did I say funny as hell? You'll be laughing at every episode. It was like watching the student years of the guys from Cherry Magic. I loved Kota with this chaotic energy. His true self was funny as hell and a whole mood. The actor also looked like a baby Shirasu Jin, so that was an added bonus.So it's basically about two guys who are complete opposites when it comes to luck, falling for each other. Kota suffers from terrible bad luck, but he hides his true, miserable personality and comes off as this person with a bright disposition. (LOL he's not. He's a miserable toad) When they're together, Kota's bad luck gets cancel out by Naoya's good luck. But little does Kota knows, Naoya's hiding a fun little secret.
The acting was good. The two leads portrayed their characters well, especially the actor that plays Kota. I loved him. There is also a little hint of a GL love story in there that was blossoming I guess. There is also a bunch of little cute life lessons mixed into the story. My only issue is, I wish it was longer so we could've gotten a better developed relationship with the leads.

a perfect serie that lighten your mood
this serie is good for lighting your mood up and is entertaining asfid say this is giving me cherry magic vibes, light ,comedy and fun with an amazing plot
the plot of this serie is perfect i give it 10/10, my only complaint is the overreactions of Kota, most of the time it felt too much, while i know that there is an overreactions too in cherry magic but the difference is that it felt natural there while in this show it felt so over the top, but at some point i got used to it, mostly because i coudnt turn this serie down because of the great plot and Naoya.
im so in love with Naoya character he kinda remind me of kurosawa, such a gentleman all the time and so in love and loyal to the other ML, i love guys who give it their all, he is not even afraid of Kota's bad luck, not only he helps out but doesnt care if the bad luck effect his good luck. a perfect boyfriend and husband material
not just that but also a king of consent omg, he is like "im not going to force a kiss on you thats assault" and that he will wait until he is ready, yesss, what more someone can ask for? such a green flag
my only wish that we get a kiss in the end ,like how we got one at the start but anyway thats not a big deal at all, overall i really did enjoy this so muchhhhhh, i highly recommend it!!!!

Heartwarming
It was so cute!! The casts did very well with how they portrayed their characters. It's a series that I don't have a problem with other than it went very well like too easy for fukuhara and shinomiya's relationship. It's one that doesn't rely on hardships to make a drama, I guess too much fluff and comedy carried the show. It was fun to watch although they kept teasing about them kissing and doing it till the end but nothing really happened(?) so that was a bit dissapointment but understandable if the actors are uncomfortable with it, you can't really force something like that but their performance and chemistry pulled through without such intimate moments which made this really good!! I wouldn't rewatch it though, cause I'm a sucker for BL that have intimate scenes and this one is really just for fun and excitement.Was this review helpful to you?
Refreshing story
Story was really good and acting of actors were awesome so cute love story without any too much complications I finished this series within a day I enjoyed it from starting till end of the episode but I felt we didn’t get much intimate scenes but I’m not saying chemistry is lacking it’s good between lead actors but I expected in Japanese dramas will be having great intimate scenes unfortunately there wasn’t much not even in last episode but still I was happy by the story and chemistry between leads all the best to the team hope to see them again in new series casting togetherWas this review helpful to you?
Love it
Great story. Funny, amazing chemistry and they look so cute together. My favorite character is Naoya. Good-looking with a beautiful personality. I love this show it might best favorite Japanese BL but you never know the year isn't over it might get replaced. I've rewatched the ending of the first episode so many time that i can not count. The only thing is that i want more. More episodes, longer episodes and more Naoya. Not enough Naoya and more kisses. For these reasons are the reasons why i didn't score it a 10.Was this review helpful to you?

ITS SO CUTE
JUNE 21, 2022Okay, this one is too fking cute. Like I eat it up real good, for some reason, I was just loving the plot. Yes it is very simple and easy to follow. Do not expect some twisted writing here cause you will not see it. The details are adequate and thorough, but not everything will be answered. BUT I DON'T CARE CAUSE I AM EATING THIS UP REAL GOOD. The chemistry between the leads is chef's kiss and off the charts. I wish they showed more but I am pretty satisfied with their adaptation. I want they have ?
FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS CUTESY FLUFF, THIS SHOW IS FOR YOU HUN!!

Opposites Attract
It's so good and the way that one of them already knew the other before was a slay. i love the fact that he kind of just slowly started liking him and then when he realized it it was t=when he left, it was cray cray but i just love how they literally balanced each other out and they were just opposites in every sense.Was this review helpful to you?
