Vita~Amore in riga

At 4 episodes this drama tells its tale quickly and confidently without a lot of the protracted misunderstandings and tortured restraint usually associated with BL outings. Leads are highly watchable.

"As long as we're together there is nothing to fear..." Simple start and a simple end with an amazing story in such a short duration makes it a masterpiece. There is no way I can rate it less than 10!!

Story-great Acting-great Portrayal-great.

Sometimes we fail to see character development in series that extend up to 4-5 seasons but this mini series fulfilled that difficult task with ease.

It is a must must watch and my one of my fav BL series!

I don't know how could anyone give this movie less than 10 stars. The acting is incredible. The emotions that the actor convey is award winning material. The story so beautiful. The camera shots and the sceens are a work of art. Pluss it incorporates very real situations. It breaks your heart.

It's just really a simpe love story between two gay men. They fell in love in high school, and continued their happy relationship until they became aduts. However, as expected, which is quite normal in most society especially in Japan, their love were tested by the pressure of society and family to follow a life that is "normal".

Nontheless, it's a very well made movie and well acted so it's enjoyable and worth to watch.

This is the 2nd gay romance movie I watched next to Brokeback mountain so I'm still not used to the kissing and love scenes so you can skip those parts if you are only after "me against the world" type kind of "love story".

Just a little more rich content of the ending like in the manga in the director edition gives you more satisfaction...you will cry more though it's more idealistic.. Just maybe 3-5 minutes long, you will watch as the title Life... so strongly recommend the director edition ( available at Gogolala site).

It's a pity that the tv series version don't include the manga ending- maybe not long enough for 5 episodes but too short for too 4 episodes?

Overall it fits 90-95% of the feeling from the manga and it's a hidden gem - neither the show nor actors get the attention they deserve - May we all have the luck to meet someone to teach us - don't think too much just live like we play a game.
