Blossom Campus (2024)

 As soon as I started Blossom Campus, I had the feeling that this was in the same mood of the equally recent Boys Be Brave!, and therefore I was happy, since I liked that one. Plus this one was from Strongberry, a production company that usually does deliver good drama heavy on the romance, and yes, also on the intimacy between the male leads... but this is not the case. The chemistry between Kim Min Jae and Yoon Chan, is there, but they never go further than some good, very chaste, kisses. It's not a demerit, but I have to say that the story is sort of meek, and the cliffhanger at the end killed my mood. So probably I will suggest to people to wait for season 2 before seeing this one. HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala. Heat Level: 3/6.

Momo-Colored Heartbeat by Samba Maekawa

 

The closeted division head has a one-sided crush on his straight subordinate.

Haruto Momoyama, 28 years old, arrived at the insurance company's public relations department after being transferred to its magazine division run by Jouji Sakura, 35 years old. Having recently broken up with his boyfriend, Sakura is hesitant about love, but he finds himself drawn to Haruto's smile and honesty. However, it's clear that Haruto is straight. Sakura begins to give up on his unrequited love, but Haruto starts getting oddly close, leaving him confused. He leans in closer, helps with overtime work when they're alone, and even comes to visit Sakura's house saying he wants to see the cat. These innocent actions are simply Haruto's lack of understanding of personal boundaries. Will the hearts of these middle-aged salarymen find their way in this tale of love?
