and the ending was rather abrupt and awful, as if the production had run out of money or come to a grinding halt

and the full film i also watched online, it's excellent

its out in Australia, Netflix

Just finished it, no grey lips or stained teeth on KT, especially in the last episode where they are standing on snowy ground in the blinding sun. there are some scenes where the lighting is very dark. but in the last half hour, his teeth are perfect white and his lips are pink. This is 30 years before the age of video and AI editing , so it is accurate and authentic. It is really obvious that he takes care of himself in that scene. i am watching it on a much brighter television and there's absolutely no sign of any of those things

usually streaming services have a licence period. is on Amazon Prime atm

coming to Netflix this weekend

it's on Amazon Prime now

yes this was my feeling from the start also

it's on Amazon Prime now

try Amazon Prime

really hoping they stream the special also!

it's not you. i just submitted a review, the show had potential but moves too slowly. should have been a binge not a weekly

well... it's implied but they were very shy about kissing and hugging the next day, so we supposed to believe they went to bed together fully clothed...

yep... this is where we are going for sure

agree, more realistic than many other dramas. calling each other by first names while dating, how refreshing lol

Was the first season screened on Amazon or similar? for those of us who live outside of Japan and don't want to navigate DO. I don't have time to put bits and pieces together, just want to watch it 🙏

Saw this at the JFF in Australia in November 2025, fantastic film. This role seemed the best vehicle for Akaso Eiji's abilities since Cherry Magic. as a side note, when someone is close to death, hospitals tend not to bother with monitoring equipment, but simply make the person feel more comfortable during the time they have left. And yes. they do usually look more pale towards the end. But agree the illness trope was overused in this film, to create the desired outcome.

Need to watch a few episodes to decide. First episode felt cliché in a few places and pace is slow burn. Not sure it's a stretch of Akaso Eiji's capabilities, either.The FL portrays a bewildered and overwhelmed foreign student, very well. Not being critical; it's simply too early to tell. Hopefully there is deeper character development in E2&3.

That is how Netflix is screening many serial dramas now, in a competitive market. reduces the common practice of binge and unsubscribe

WOW!! Thank you for such a motivating response/ review. was not sure if I should continue after episode one and now I know I will. as a part time human rights advocate, sometimes I'm APPALLED at how others seek to denigrate, alienate and control. unacceptable. look forward to the show and your next review! You're Awesome!!
