A tender, moving series, full of sensitivity

That's really a tender, moving series, full of sensitivity,... as Japanese filmmakers know how to do.

Plot: reunion 18-20 years later, of 2 high school lovers, aviation fans, separated by the FL's amnesia, following a car accident. She is now divorced, taxi driver, with a music-loving teenage child. He is works in the security team of a building and is in a relationship with his ex-therapist.

ACTING just phenomenal! Mitsushima Hikari and Satoh Takeru get in live their characters, with accuracy, subtlety, intelligence. It's all in their eyes...
The other actors are also excellent, but the OTPs are so intense that everything else only serves to explain their story.

TECHNICAL Perfect.
The images are beautiful, the plans well studied. The pace is sustained. The story is well written even if the many flashbacks sometimes make the storyline a little confusing.
The music is awesome.

Conclusion: a little gem that I will definitely watch again (and not just for Satoh Takeru :)

Une série tendre, émouvante, pleine de sensibilité,... comme les cinéastes japonais savent le faire.

Plot : retrouvailles 18-20 ans plus tard, les 2 amoureux de lycée, fans d'aviation, séparés par l'amnésie de la FL suite à un accident. Elle est maintenant divorcée, taxi, avec un enfant ado fan de musique. Il fait partie de l'équipe de sécurité d'un building et en couple avec son ex-psy.

ACTING juste phénoménal ! Mitsushima Hikari et Satoh Takeru incarnent / vivent leurs personnages, avec justesse, subtilité, intelligence. Tout passe dans leurs regards...
Les autres acteurs sont aussi excellents, mais les OTP sont si intenses que tout le reste ne sert qu'à expliquer leur histoire.

TECHNIQUE Parfait.
Les images sont belles, les plans bien étudiés. Le rythme est soutenu. L'histoire est bien écrite même si les nombreux flashbacks rendent parfois la storyline un peu confuse.
La musique est géniale.

Conclusion : un petit bijou que je regarderai certainement à nouveau (et pas seulement pour Satoh Takeru :)
