Writer K-Ci Williams explores new Japanese dating show The Boyfriend on Netflix and what it made him realize about his own dating life.
In this essay, writer K-Ci Williams examines Japanese reality dating show The Boyfriend, which recently aired on Netflix , and how it inspired him to embrace the vulnerability of dating. I met this total sweetheart of a man in April. He was my type; hilarious, dimples for days, and he liked me back. What was meant to be something fun and casual ended with ordering pizza and watching Alex Kingston mothering the hell out of a Doctor Who episode. He asked me out on a date after, I said yes.
I can trace its subtle impact on my life; the way I’d attach to people, my inflexibility, hating when plans changed — Shun, on the other hand, was abandoned as a baby. Shun admitted to feeling trapped and dependent in his previous relationships, and much of those experiences have clearly informed who he is and how he behaves. Trauma is prickly, it pervades and persists, so Shun’s struggles in the Green Room made total sense to me.
