My emotional roller coaster ride watching this drama

I have finally decided that I actually loved this drama. It wasn't an easy decision to come to though. I remember feeling like this drama would be a beautiful, happy romance drama as I just finished watching the first episode. That feeling did not last too long. *Spolier alert* I absolutely loved the part where Ikuta Toka spoke about her feelings with her fellow volunteers after the construction. It was the first of many times she was able to awaken my emotional sensors lol (maybe because I love Kasumi Arimura). I hold a little grudge in my heart against the writer for fixing sadness in every stage of Toka's life. I felt absolutely miserable as I watched Han san unknowingly betray her because I thought at least she was a great friend and a sole support for Toka chan. Having said that, not only did she verbally gave the lesson of "grab ur own happiness" but also practically taught it( if only Toka would not have run away and approached them in that restaurant part) . I had ill feelings for Han chan whilst watching the episodes but they faded upon realizing that she actually did help the dude get back to normal. How can I hate someone for developing feelings for someone??. In the end, I knew what I was wishing for to happen but that wish seemed unattainable. This drama teaches us what to expect from life and that even in meeting devastated phases in your life, eventually it is up to you to find your happiness and live on.
