As a fan of both Takeru and Keita, I was drawn to this series right away. The cinematography is stunning, visually compelling with beautifully composed shots.

In terms of the story, of course I have not read the manga so I really have no idea but in my personal opinion the romance subplot felt a bit forced and unnecessary. Personally, I think Akane and Kazushi would have made a much more fitting couple. I was honestly hoping Naoki wouldn't fall for Akane. What I had envisioned instead was a more bittersweet closed ended ending: Naoki’s death leading to Yukino or perhaps the former manager stepping up as the new vocalist. It would have been powerful to see Naoki leave behind his music, including new songs, as a legacy for the group. Now I'm curious how the Season 2 would go, if there will be one.

Worth the watch but never again!

Knowing these episodes are all inspired by real events in South Korea makes this series honestly DISTURBING. It did an incredible job of making my blood pressure spike with every single episode.
The toxic pressure from Korean netizens and their systemic flaws are completely broken, and it really highlights why South Korea faces one of the highest suicide rates in the world.
I've watched so many Korean crime and school bullying dramas and films, and what frustrates me most is how often the same patterns of abuse, silence, and institutional failure appear, IT'S SICKENING!! While these stories don't represent everyone's experience, it's painful to see how many are inspired by real cases. More than anything, I hope every victim receives the justice and support they deserve.
