My Personal Weatherman | 1x1 & 1x2

My Personal Weatherman | 1x1 & 1x2

Comments

hahahhaa OMG I still remember this 🤣

Fabi

This is the funniest reaction I've ever seen to the pilot of this show 🤣

Joanna -_-

hahahahha I didn't but I think I should have with this one 🤣

Fabi

You put something stronger than tea or coffee into that mug in between episodes, didn't you 🤣

Sonya N

hahaha the intro is SO misleading 🤣 I've also seen a bit of my own reaction and found it hilarious hahaha

Fabian Gonzalez

hahaha the thing is KinnPorsche felt very much like fiction, this feels more real 🫨

Fabian Gonzalez

Fabi: What a cute intro. 😊 Me: Oh oh 🤣 I've watched Japanese shows for many years, so I don't think they'll ever catch me off guard again like this did for you. It was absolutely hilarious watching you go through the different levels of confusion. 🤣

JennyStuckOnThatRooftop

lol Fabi i’m not gonna lie, if you survived KinnPorshe then this is NOTHING haha. a cake walk. You’ll love this! i’m also kinda shocked you missed so much stuff but i guess you were so frazzled by the new genre of BL you were unfocused😭😭

Zenru Renari

welcome to the intense side of jbls 😂

Vio 😈

😆

Fabian Gonzalez

😂 hahahaha I've seen a bit of it again and I can't help laughing at my own reaction too 🤣

Fabian Gonzalez

I think that's the right word for this. Compelling! And although this seems like a different universe, I believe some couples in the real world have similar dynamics. The weird part of this is that Yoh seems to have stumbled into this dynamic by chance without discussing it. There was no real agreement or discussion on what's happening LOL And yeah, that last sentence is very accurate LOL

Fabian Gonzalez

LOL at least you knew more or less what it was

Fabian Gonzalez

It's been odd in deed xD

Fabian Gonzalez

😂

Fabian Gonzalez

Many of you have remarked that the issue in this Dom-Sub dynamic is communication, and that's completely true. But remember, the Japanese are the kings of not communicating effectively! XD A Japanese person being straightforward about emotions? Now that would be rare, hahaha.

Philippe

There is (will be) another moment, when they talk about 3 months not years, but honestly - I´m not sure. I´m suspecting some mistake in translation. Because I feel they already sank too deep to misunderstanding for only 3 months. Maybe someone fluent in Japanesse could tell better.

Doriana Marková

This is to funny I never laughed so hard before and it’s called bdsm

Nevaeh Lewis

Ok, I finished 😅 . I was right there with you Fabi, my reactions were very much the same. I was expecting another cute BL but got something entirely different. I will say I also found it compelling viewing maybe because it is so contrary to my personal experiences, expectations and preferences. These characters seem to occupy a different universe, with different rules. No one has forced Yo into his role, so one can’t comfortably get on a moral high horse or root for his emancipation. At the same time, he does seem confused about what he wants from this relationship. Segasaki is also hard to read. On the surface at least, he seems to be enjoying having Yo as his house slave and controlling & using him as he pleases. There are hints that affection may also be there but we are left to wonder why he acts coldly and doesn’t communicate if he has feelings for Yo. Is this merely a hot mess involving two lusty but dysfunctional personalities or is it something deeper?

Timothy Panngam

I've heard other people say that the offer to live together was made 3 years ago, but the actual cohabitation only started a few months ago. That's not made clear in the TV version, but it would make more sense.

Richard G

17:39 wow. The master-slave situation goes all the way to the bedroom. The theme and the way this is shot makes it look like a Yaoi- Uke and Sempai anime. I am aware of the genre since it was a precursor to BL’s but it’s not something I ever read or watched (the closest thing I’ve seen to this genre is TharnType).

Timothy Panngam

OK first thoughts at the 10:01 mark. What an incredibly odd vibe. It’s compelling but mostly because I’m trying to comprehend its strangeness. I’m sure much more will be revealed, but I’m in the early going it gives the impression that Yo is basically Segasaki’s slave.

Timothy Panngam

I like how you kinda went from soft to hard bl

Nevaeh Lewis

😂 you'd relate to my reaction to the first episode then haha once you know what you're watching, it gets easier 😆

Fabian Gonzalez

Ahh I think you'll like this a lot! The issue here is that they don't communicate this dynamic very well and that can only lead to disaster, but we'll see!

Fabian Gonzalez

🫨

Fabian Gonzalez

LOL I was so wrong about Japanese BL 😂

Fabian Gonzalez

I've just learnt this with this one 😂 I actually enjoyed this one, and can't wait to see more. It's not what I'm used to but I'm not not okay with it haha And no no, I actually like that no one told me anything about this one. Made for a more genuine and shocked reaction 🤣

Fabian Gonzalez

hahaha you totally knew what you were doing when you recommended this, and I LOVE IT! Thanks for not saying anything because it made for a very funny reaction 😂

Fabian Gonzalez

yeah, this really taught me something 😂

Fabian Gonzalez

😂 also not the SAME manga as ODS LOL

Fabian Gonzalez

yayy you can watch with me alongside my shocked reaction LOL

Fabian Gonzalez

hahahaa all I know about BDSM is 50 Shades of Grey and I haven't even watched that yet LOL I did write it down at some point 🤣

Fabian Gonzalez

No, it was great you didn't warn me! I do like surprises, it made for a funny reaction hahahaha I Hear the Sunspot, noted!

Fabian Gonzalez

I actually, genuinely, thought it was sooo fluffy! I don't know why I thought all Jbl would be like that... but BOY I was wroooong haha!

Fabian Gonzalez

hahaha it is very different! 😂

Fabian Gonzalez

haha surprissseeee

Fabian Gonzalez

I felt so uncomfortable when I first saw the first episode

Kari

Haven't watched this before...I'm intrigued! I spent some time when I was young exploring the Dom/Sub community, so this feels really familiar to me. There's definitely some overlap with BDSM, but they're not really interchangeable labels. At the beginning there's lots of negotiating consent and there was always a written contract (it was DC...so many lawyers!) and there was always a specific length the contract was for and it could be terminated. Mostly, it was older dominant guys looking for young subs who wanted to be provided for...like in this story. Yes, sex is involved, but it's not really the main thing...it's all about control. Feel free to ask if you've got any questions and I'll try to help.

Japanese BL's are wild. This is not even the darkest or wierdest concept.

JoannaB

“I thought all Japanese BL’s were going to be cute!” No. Japanese BL’s play very well with an idolisation dynamic. You will see this a lot. One person is fascinated by/obsessed with the other. It can look completely one sided initially, but they always tell a compelling story. Cherry Magic has this idolisation narrative too, but very different. Japan will take you on a rollercoaster ride. Also, this is a show that’s better on the second watch, after you understand everything In episode 1 he actually says tomorrow’s weather “is perfect for laundry”. The rewatch value of this one & shows like My Beautiful Man (also Japan) & Secret Relationships (Korea) is top notch

Natalie Warner

I really love the show of different types of dynamic. It’s so queer!

Yowela

So true! A kinkdar is very usdeful.

Yowela

Just like some others have said, the japanese go to both extremes. Some innocent like cherry magic and some much more explicit. I think japanese BL, alot of times, show different and unique dynamics. This is why I love seriers like my personal weatherman or my beautiful man. You are getting to know a new world, where the couple you are watching are the one setting the standards. It is, like you said, very intriguing. The shows don’t follow a formula. If you compare innocent wholesome show like old fashion cupcake or at our dinner table or i hear sunspot you will find that they are different from each other as well. By the way we can tell you where things fall if you don’t consider it a spoiler? Like a problematic/wholesome scale. Haha

Yowela

And cue the WTF-ery, right on time. This show never fails. No matter who I’ve watched it with, or which poor, unsuspecting reactor I’ve seen dive in, it’s always the same: confusion, a dash of disbelief, and that 😒 face. Fabi had no idea what was going on in episode one, and honestly? That’s tradition. If you’re not at least mildly concerned for your sanity by the end of the first episode, are you even watching Japanese BL? Japan has this wild talent for taking literally anything and making it oddly wholesome, cutesy, and somehow addictive. All I’m gonna say is: let them cook, Fabi. They’re making a big pot of curry, and it’s gonna be nom-nom delicious.

jmo

Laughed at your reaction at the beginning. Don't be confused by Japanese BLs, they can be so messed up, this is nothing. I think it is cute when you've watched it all, but I was confused like you for a good while.

Georgina Devonshire

This reaction was so funny. When you compared it "our dating sim" for the manga thing and the intro being cute just for gradually lose your mind was hilarious. I was like "oh no" every two seconds.

Gnogna Loca

Omg wait… I wanted to watch this so badly but I didn’t know where too 😭 yeah the vibes of it is totally different from something like cherry magic, but ngl I love darker shows more than cutesy ones lol.. I mean everyone has different preferences.. I can’t wait to watch this one with you :)

Seth

Fabi, you're so pure that I'm SURE you have a paper there with "BDSM" so you can spell it in the reaction hahaha

Philippe

Hahaha... When I found out you’d be watching this, I was sooo tempted to warn you! But I know you don’t like spoilers (I hate them too), so… XD Not my cup of tea, but I’ll rewatch it anyway. Fabi, if you want wholesome Japanese BL, watch I Hear the Sunspot... Listen to me, not the rest of these evil, evil people here!!! Hahahaha

Philippe

In ep1 I think the sex scene was a flashback and you kinda seems displeased that it's raining so they are having sex but I might be grasping at straws here

kiara

Well this is certainly a suprise choice! I really thought you'd pick a fluffy show- but I guess you thought you were. 😆 Well, I'll enjoy the reaction regardless!

LeCrunchNoir

Kinkdar is useful, especially with JBL😀. I think this one is quite cute, it did touch my heart strings when I first watched it.

Elina

I’m so late to the party today!!!

jmo

Thanks - I had no idea about tissue thing, so cute. Another piece in the puzzle.

Doriana Marková

Was not expecting to see this when I opened patreon today. I'm curious what you'll think of this show. I haven't watched it since it came out, I guess it's time for a re-watch with you

Taraja

omg im buckled in for your reaction to this show loll if i may provide some context/translation to some scenes in ep2: 1) the tissue ball yoh was making is called a "teruterubozu" which is a rain doll that is hung up to chase the rain away 2) towards the end when yoh couldnt talk back to segasaki when he claimed he hated him, the camera pans to some untranslated manga panels which said "i like you"

Kei

When this notification pop-up on me I was about to scream... so amazing surprise. One of my favourite <3 Fabi is so confused as I was at my first time watching this. It´s funny and cute. I love J-BL. Every one of them have something special. I used to expect anything, ´cause my mind usually go with "oh, what´s going on? what did he say? what was that mean? is it weird or cute - or both?" And I LOVE it. They can show us so much different wibes of relationship, unique and indescribable in "normal" way. I´m addicted to it. Especially to this kind of couples - it feels like imposible relationship, but it works for them. And it can look weird but funny and cute and you keep thinking about it long after it ends. And Fabi... you want to be warned: So one day you start watching My beautiful man - be open for something special and indescribable.

Doriana Marková

omg wait?! you’re MPWM?!? HOLY CRAPP! This is unexpected! Trust me, it’s a great BL!

Zenru Renari

FABI FABI?! I was lowkey sad that you didn’t pick this bl and now I see this ??? Oh FABI I LOVE YOU 🤟

Layloo

I was just as confused as you were when I first started this show but as the episodes continue it starts to make sense. I did enjoy this series as it is different from a lot of stuff out there and yes it’s a bit weird and teeters on the edge of toxic at times but as you said communication is key. I think you will enjoy this series.

GabbyB

don't worry I was confused too which made me drop it after one episode lol.. but I'm gonna give it a 2nd chance with this rewatch lol.

sean carter

😂😂😂😂 this was the unexpected hahaha

Fabian Gonzalez

Fabi keeps saying he loves that he has no idea what each new show is gonna be like, and I end up bracing myself for his reaction when the unexpected happens. 😂

Elina

Yeah, honestly I know very little about the subject and when I googled it, BDSM was the first thing that was mentioned on Reddit 😂 LOL

Fabian Gonzalez

This not really BDSM, cause that involves something physical, this is more of the Dom/Sub dynamic only as lifestyle more than the sexual aspect of it

Onesan Talks Like Nemu-chan

I'm very curious how you'll find this one Timothy 😂

Fabian Gonzalez

Ah nothing like the feeling of starting a new series

Timothy Panngam

hahaha yeah I think this is a little bit passed that middle ground 😂 but yeah, I'm still exploring this BL universe 😆

Fabian Gonzalez

boyyyy I was WRONG! It's still kinda cute though 😂

Fabian Gonzalez

I mean there are people of all shape, forms and flavours 😂 it's very kinky and shows a dynamic outside of the norm so I can sort of understand the appeal. It's definitely not exactly my thing, BUT, I did find it very interesting 🤣

Fabian Gonzalez

haha that's a great way to describe this 😂

Fabian Gonzalez

Japanese BLs are on a /spectrum/ 😄 Cherry Magic marking one end of that and My Personal Weatherman being somewhere around the middle. I hope you'll never get shoved to the other end of the spectrum, because the darkness over there is traumatising. 👀 this is safe though, so don't worry!

Tsuliwaensis

when you said you thought it would be a cutesy bl, i immediately thought of the Takara-kun to Amagi-kun bl... it is the cutest bl

Slindile Mshugwana

I honestly dont know why people like this show coz it was just toxic, but i'll gladly watch your reaction to it. Looking forward to the next one lol

Slindile Mshugwana

Oh one of my favorite red flag LOL

Onesan Talks Like Nemu-chan

hehehehe 😈

Fabian Gonzalez

hahaha SURPRISE! LOL this was the surprise show 😂

Fabian Gonzalez

Tsuliwaensis

Wait… did we know we were getting this!? I LOVE this show, will watch after work
