Emotional rollercoaster and not a good kind
That was an exhausting watch. I watched it before and wasn't a fan at all, but recently I found out that this series will have a second season. So I chose to rewatch it to refresh my memory and possibly change my opinion enough to watch the second season. And honestly I'm still not sure if I want to watch the second season.
I did enjoy this series to some degree, it was entertaining. The first episode was good, then it went downhill and sort of picked up at the end.
I didn't really like either of the main leads for different reasons, and I really didn't see that much growth from them.
Things I liked:
1. Soundtrack.
2. Chemistry. That's one thing they were good at.
3. I like the overall plot/idea even though the execution was not so good at times.
Things I disliked:
1. Akihiro using his "girlfriend" to put it bluntly to try and forget. Instead of dealing with his trauma or doing anything to actually try, he blatantly uses another person for his own comfort.
2. Akihiro cheating on his girlfriend both emotionally and physically.
He should've ended it all once he literally said, "Deep down in my heart, I've always wanted you, Senpai." Once he crossed this road, even if he chose not to go back to Takashi or even to break all contact with him, he still should've broken up with his girlfriend. Instead, he goes and tries proposing to her.
3. Takashi is a groomer. I said what I said, he knew his assistant since he was just a student in the university, yet he still chose to sleep with him. And then he goes to try and justify it by saying, "He came onto me himself" yeah, no this is disgusting.
4. Yuto. Takashi's assistant. I'm honestly in between hating him and just feeling bad for him. Takashi is obviously the reason for some of his behavior, but it still doesn't fully excuse the way he behaves.
5. Not a single likable character.
