Ima kara, Shinyu Yameyo ka. (2026)

More then your average TL drama

I really love aspects of this drama. one of my favorite things it does is start out as if is your regular romance late night jdrama, but then in ep. 3 your like hmm wait?? and then episode 4 & 5 comes, and you're absolutely hooked. it has just the right amount of dark romance that I enjoy.

my biggest critique is that the intrigue started way too late and the ending is rushed. We could have gone a full 10 ep to really flush out this emotional turmoil. Despite these, i still think it's great.

I will recommend this to any rei lovers. Definitely one of his best dramas so far and hope he gets more of these types of characters in the future.

A cool premise that needed to move along

Let's End Our Friendship Now starts with an interesting setup and the kind of messy relationship dynamics that made me think this could turn into a really entertaining little jdrama. Unfortunately, for a story that is only seven episodes long, it sure knows how to drag its feet. The biggest problem is pacing. There is potential here, but some of the developments feel stretched rather than genuinely explored. Seven episodes should be more than enough to tell a tight, engaging story.

I watch this jdrama as it aired and I think this might have worked much better as a binge watch. Watching the episodes back-to-back could make the slower pacing feel less noticeable and give the story a better sense of momentum. As a weekly watch, though, the gaps between episodes make the dragging even more apparent.

It's not a bad drama by any means. The premise and chemistry between the leads are genuinely good, and there are enough interesting dynamics to keep you curious about where things will go. I just wish the writing had trusted its own premise a little more and moved the story forward instead of circling around it.

A promising premise, seven episodes, and somehow still not enough momentum. This is probably one of those dramas that might be better consumed in one sitting than experienced week by week. So, now that the the entire jdrama is available on Viki, future audiences might enjoy it more than me.
