No expectation but i loved it
I watched this because there’s a Season 2 coming for this series. Well, it was only 6 episodes, so I knew it was going to be a quick watch anyway.
I was actually surprised by how many negative reviews this series got because, honestly, I loved it. At first, I thought it was just going to be a simple failed teenage relationship, and I was mainly curious to know what really happened and why it failed. If you look at it on the surface, it might sound pretty light, but you have to remember that we’re talking about high school students who were literally trying to elope. Both of them were carrying their own silent battles that only they knew about. Then you add the struggle of dealing with their sexuality in an environment where the people around them couldn't really understand or accept it. So yeah, the depth was definitely there.
On the lighter side, this series actually made me laugh. Special mention to Iwanaga's secretary because his sassiness was something I could never hate. 😂 He absolutely aced that role.
The fluff was there too, and it was pretty obvious how these two were meant for each other. But I really liked that Miyata didn't just agree to be together that easily. Their issues and fears were addressed first, and that made me understand where everyone was coming from.
And personally, I LOVE Iwanaga's face. 😂 Yes, the age difference shows, but the handsomeness definitely doesn't disappear. And his English? Love it. 😭
Overall, I really enjoyed this one. Maybe the short runtime made some things feel rushed, but for me, there was more depth to it than I expected going in. Definitely glad I watched it.
