** The TV drama removes Adachi and Kurosawa's dual case of IfItsYouItsOkay, which is a trope now dismissed both fans of BL and real life gay activists.[[note]]While it does happen in real life, IfItsYouItsOkay is a lot rarer than someone identifying as LGBT, and so overuse in BL has lead to it being seen as having homophobic and fetishistic connotations, as it allows authors and audiences to indulge in same-sex romance and porn without having to sympathise with actual LGBT people.[[/note]] Apart from Minato explicitly identifying as gay, it is left up to the audience to decide if the characters are gay or bisexual, or simply don't want to use labels. Fans feel that this detail makes the characters feel more realistic and grounded.
** Related to the above, the drama also tones down some of the racier aspects of the story, such as the intensity of Kurosawa's fantasies, or Adachi visiting a prostitute. This again leaves the story feeling more grounded and makes the characters more relatable and sympathetic to a wider audience.
