You can find them here: https://blitzfansub.com/category/love-lasts-forever/ Whenever you can, please thank the independent subber and show appreciation for his/her hard work. It would be our loss should the subber take them all down or post them behind a wall. Kindly report anytime you see his/her work being […]
An Incurable Case of Love: Open Thread
I just learned that this dorama (jdrama) was recently added on Netflix. For now, the old posts for this jdrama can be found either under its original Japanese name, “Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo” or its alternate English title, “Love Last Forever.” When I have time, I’ll update the categories. Anyway, this is […]
My Lovely Liar: Eps 7 & 8 Open Thread
The thread is open. What do I expect this week? 1. The ex-girlfriend’s brother accidentally meets SolHee, and makes the wrong assumption that she’s his GF. 2. SolHee finally remembers the first time she met DoHa on the bus. 3. A kiss. The kiss usually occurs around Episode 8 in kdramas. gifs from goyoonjung’s tumblr […]
Love Lasts Forever: Episode 9, Part 2
Part 1 is here: Love Lasts Forever: Episode 9, Part 1 But where was I? Ah! The Basho haiku. I challenged myself to look for haikus for each one of the themes of this episodes. As some of you probably know already, haikus are generally about everyday life and nature, not love. So I’ll be stretching […]
Love Lasts Forever: Episode 9, Part 1
This episode reminds me of a haiku. It’s pithy, and the ending is unexpected. I chose four haikus from the famous poet Basho which I’ll be revising for my (evil) purposes. lol. What quietness! Penetrating the rocks, The voices of cicadas! An old pond, A frog jumps in, The sound of water. Spring is passing. […]
Love Lasts Forever: Sato Tekaru’s “Take-tele” with Mone
For agdr03 and the others, Here are some subs that I found of the behind-the-scenes interaction between Tekaru and Mone. I extend my deepest fangirling gratitude to @_takemone_ for the translations. Please give him/her credit when taking out his/her tweets. Thanks. 1. Sato Tekaru said that he had to pucker up to reach her lips […]
Love Lasts Forever: Episode 8
It’s inevitable for viewers to breeze through this episode because there were plenty of couple moments to send heart fluttering, like — • the “I’m not dating you because I want you take care of me,” confession with the head massage • the flattened rice ball cooked using her brand-new rice cooker, • the “Appreciation Day” […]
Love Lasts Forever: Episode 7, part 2
You’re so spoiled. Why do I feel like Tendo giving in to you, the Nanases of the blog? C. Her clumsiness? Nanase: [Moiri] is so pretty and talented. Everybody could easily see. Me, on the other hand, I’m slow at work, I get drunk easily and I fall asleep all the time. I’m not good […]
Love Lasts Forever: Episode 7
And so it starts. A. “Calm and collected” Nanase: In the end, it’s just me. Ryuko: Tell me what’s going on? Nanase: I’m the only one who gets upset, jealous and depressed. I can’t do anything right. And he always stays so calm and collected. The kissasian version had Nanase saying, “Being shocked on my […]
Love Lasts Forever: Ep 7 On Crying Alone
This is the second half of the jealousy saga. I said that Episode 6 was about Nanase’s jealousy, and Episode 7 was about Tendo’s. She started feeling insecure when she heard Dr. Rokuru and the head nurse discussing how Tendo and Waka worked well together as a team. Waka was like her dead sister, Midori. […]
Love Lasts Forever: Episode 6
I was in two minds whether to write a review of Episode 6 by itself or in tandem with Episode 7 since the subject of both episodes is jealousy. Episode 6 focuses on Nanase’s jealousy which is obvious and comical. I do love how the actress portrays her character. Her facial gesture and body movements, […]

Love Lasts Forever: KoiTsudu vs Itazura
Note: this is unfinished. I’ll have to edit to add pictures, but I don’t have my other laptop with me. Many viewers like to point out that LLF (or “KoiTsudu” as it’s called by fans) is similar to “Itazura na Kiss” and I say yes and no. There’s no doubt that the two doramas use […]
Love Lasts Forever: Episode 5
Episode 5 starts with a recap in 6 sentences to explain how they arrived at this new phase in their relationship. In the ambulance: Nanase: I wish I could spend more time with you. Tendo: I heard you! Get through this and I’ll grant you any wish you want. I’ll take you on dates! I’ll […]
