Certain to satisfy fujoshis, will hardly appeal for the general public

A lot of people’s reaction to this drama was absolutely surprising. Most of the show's fans say that they relationship isn't abusive nor toxic, which is laughable. The story begins with Hira humiliating himself and allowing Kiyoi and his troup to use and abuse him to fullfill their needs, wheter it's to do their homework or to buy some drinks for them. When Kiyoi learns of Hira's feelings, he does seems to treat him better, but that doesn't stop him from pushing him to the ground and calling him "disgusting" at every opportunity. But that's what healthy couples do, no?

I aggree that not every couple has to be healthy but it's impossible for me to like a show in which a relationship is focused on humilitation. But it may satisfy some people's kink, which may justify the rating that this show have.

Fukuhara is a flower that blooms amidst adversity

From Fukuhara's bad luck odyssey to Shinomiya's "perfect boyfriend" moments, we find ourselves mesmerized at the beauty of the feelings portrayed by the actors. While Fukuhara may be doomed with a terrible luck, he manages to become a kind and compassionate person, which makes us feel empathy for him and wish that his luck may change soon. Shinomiya, on the other hand, could've become an arrogant and self-centered person, since his luck always brought eveyrthing that he wanted, but he also manages to overturn expectations and show us a person who is as loving and caring as Fukuhara (just more confident). Surely we may think sometimes that the show is going slow and that Fukuhara should confess his love already, but if you were the unluckiest person in the world, would you confess your love so easily?

Mr. Unlucky has a very soothing opening that sets the tone well for the show. The supporting cast also does a wonderful job, with props to Shinomiya's friends. But as with all the others BL series that have few and short episodes, the spotlight is truly on the main couple, who never fails to deliver the character's feelings and thoughts, whether it's through dialogue or solely with their expression. Hopefully, watching Mr. Unlucky will be an experience that brings as much joy to your life, as Shinomiya feels everytime he's with Fukuhara ~
