Sweet. But also heartbreaking. It was so interesting to follow Akira and Yuuki through the years, from high school till their late thirties and see what happens when... well, life happens. When the honeymoon phase is over and your old baggage starts getting in the way. It felt like watching a slow-burn fanfic where the main hero has to learn his lesson the hard way before earning his happy ending.

The drama has angst in spades, especially in the latter half, and my heart broke for Yuuki who didn't do anything wrong but had to pay for Akira's insecurities, instilled in him bit by bit by his mother since he was a kid, and Akira really had to live - and suffer - through what he thought he wanted and truly experience what loneliness felt like before finally realizing where his true happiness lay and deciding to fight for it. The happy ending is then the cherry on top!
