This week we decided to focus our actor deep dive on two very much loved Japanese actors, Machida Keita, and Akaso Eiji. Both were in the popular BL drama that just currently aired, Cherry Magic. We go a bit into their lives, and talk about all the dramas we watched to get a sense of them as actors. We also spend some time on our thoughts on Cherry Magic.
We go through a lot of different dramas/movies in this episode, and I (Jessie) am well aware that I did horrible pronouncing them all. Luckily Amanda made a list to help you out that you can find here on MDL.
No real indepth spoilers (except maybe our talk on Cherry Magic), but here’s all the time codes just in case you want to skip around:
