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
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...
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.
