Great idea, unfortunately lost in over complication
During the first few episodes, characters and their motivation was established really well, so I was really excited going into this series. I thought we were going to dive deeper into what connects these two heartbroken teenagers in the weird relationship they have begun. Instead, just as we start to see how it starts to affect them, the author started introducing more and more characters, and there wasn't just enough time if we wanted to have a closer look at any of them. Moreover, some of them were really one dimensional and tacky like "I love having sex" guy or the "my one thing in life is being kawaii" girl. Introduction of the characters changes mood from psychological portraits, to overcomplicated plot about everyone using emotionally everyone in hard to understand and completely unmotivated way.I felt like the way how the internal fights of characters were shown was also very cheap. There were many scenes when the main character was listening to her "evil self", that was her with red filter all over. Also, the evil speeches were mostly all the same, and if you really listened to the words most of them were basically about nothing in particular. They were there just to sound edgy and dark.
Overall, with a heavy heart, I dropped this drama after the 8th episode.

This is not a typical romance or lovey dovey story. It's a story which may be twisted and fucked up but it may be a reality one may never know or one may never bring to light. Also, it has mature contents (not to the max of seeing someone completely naked, but has a lot of intimate scenes).
It's frustrating and pitiful-- a roller coaster of mostly heavy emotions, but I love the character development.
I'm surprised by the two leads' age when they filmed that, especially Yoshimoto Miyu. She did great!
ps. I like the ending. It gives you a sense of relief if you think about it.
pps. Even if Dori Sakurada isn't your type, you might find yourself searching for more. He isn't just an actor ;)

Plot twist at the end makes my heart broken.(*Because I always in a K-drama plot) This drama turns me to think seriously about Love and sex from Japanese point of view. It's kind of different from what I believe, but then I realized they're just high school students. And this kind of thing is happening for real somewhere.
This drama teach you to let go of something what doesn't belong to you in a worse way and also in a good way.
I like this drama because it's uncommon story. When you getting bored with k-drama love story, this drama is surely something new.
But be careful there is a lot of Mature content in each episodes.
A little bit boring in the middle but it's not that hard to finish it.

I am dropping this drama after watching
first episode even i didnt watch full episode,
i dropped it in the middle half .
i don't know what would be the story but read synopsis get a clue ..didnt watch full drama so dont know about acting of characters so no comment on acting .
That is the reason no comment on music ,rewatch value . As i think it not going to have any exciting scene or something related to secret or something suspicious story. After reading synopsis i think it is all about jeolousy and proving themselves in front of others and because of this they are losting themselves .they are trapping themselves in a marsh of unwanted desire.

Période ingrate pour âge ingrat : l'adolescence
Qu'est-ce que j'attendais de Kuzu no Honkai ? Pas grand chose. Qu'est-ce que j'ai trouvé ? Beaucoup trop de choses.Nous suivons Hanabi et Mugi qui connaissent un amour à sens unique. Afin de contrer leur peine et solitude, ils se mettent officieusement ensemble malgré l'absence de sentiments. C'est un détail plaisant. Les choses sont claires dès le début.
Hanabi est loin de la jeune lycéenne en détresse, comme Mugi ne ressemble pas au gars jaloux et forceur. On sort des codes habituels et remet surtout les choses sous le nez : être un ado, ça craint. Être un ado, c'est nul et difficile. Être un ado, c'est souffrir pour la plupart. Je ne sais pas pour vous, mais je n'ai pas un bon souvenir de mon adolescence. J'étais cette fille beaucoup trop timide et mal dans sa peau. Ces points-là sont bien traités et utilisés intelligemment tout au long du drama.
Tout comme les relations intimes. On sort de la pudeur habituelle des dramas japonais. On retrouve l'hésitation, la peur, l'envie, le désir et le courage. Malgré l'absence d'amour entre les deux, la relation reste respectueuse et honnête. Tout est dans les réflexions.
Kuzu no Honkai sort des sentiers battus. Alors qu'on ne s'attend pas à grand chose au départ, il pousse la psychologie des personnages et donne matière à réfléchir. Malgré tout, il est évident que tout le monde ne l'appréciera pas, pourtant il mérite une attention particulière.
