Honestly I've always been a little ambivalent towards both short form dramas and Japanese dramas. But after watching and loving I Hear The Sunspot I've been testing the waters with Japanese BL again. I am not in to sturm and drang and high drama but I absolutely love sweet and tender romance. This one delivers in every aspect with a wonderful cast, beautiful music and cinematography and most importantly sweetness.

The five episodes are each about half an hour long and in the past I've found that shorter dramas have not fleshed out the characters enough nor the sense of how feeling develop between them. This drama put all those others to shame. The sense of who the two lead characters are and why they would love each other is so complete and perfect. I cried along with Togawa when he confessed to Nozue.

I highly recommend watching this drama if you love sweet, gentle love stories between beautiful men. I will be reinvestigating Japanese dramas after watching this one and would love to find more like it.
