The Boyfriend has been taking the internet since its inception on July 9 on Netflix. With its last episode, i.e., episode 10, released on July 30, fans had to bid a bittersweet goodbye to the coveted show. Following this, they were hoping for a reunion so that they could get clarity on what went on after these men went home.
The official Instagram handle of Netflix Japan announced the reunion episode or the commentary special on the same day as they released the last episode, i.e., July 30. They said it will air on Saturday, August 3.
Fans of the show have since been taking to X to react to the announcement. They are hoping to see DaiShun still going strong; some of them are also rooting for Usak and Kazuto to be a couple. One fan wrote,
"So neither of the boys is gonna say something until the reunion on august 3rd for sure, I mean, they will probably surprise us with lots of news so yeah, we will see then."
"Now that #TheBoyfriend is over, I am just curious as to what we will see at the reunion. This show was a rollercoaster emotions. I was more in tears than any other emotion. Now, just what does the finale of #HisMan3 have installed for us," said another.
"Are we gonna get some confirmation about current relationship, or its gonna stay as secret,or they will surprise us in reunion on 3rd of August hehe The Show ended and i feel empty some but happy cuz DaiShun nation won," one user wrote.
"I'd love to hear words from Shun on what he loves about Dai! I get what everyone's saying about Shun having baggage and issues, but now that we are almost a year later, let's hope in the reunion we get more answers!," wrote another.
Some fans were hoping to see Usak and Kazuto together as a couple in the reunion episode. Some of them think their being together was inevitable and want to see how they compliment each other on the reunion episode. One tweet read,
"If at the reunion it turns out that Kazuto and Usak are together I will scream. Just telling you guys in advance."
"I hope that Usak & Kazuto are together and that we will see them together at the reunion. That's it," read another tweet.
"If it's true that Usak & Kazuto might be a couple then we NEED a reunion episode because we didn't get the chance to see them being all lovey dovey with eachother. And that's a crime," said one fan.
"If Usak didn't leave, Kazuto would choose him. I don't see him with Alan, sorry," said another.
