The cinematography in this series is stunning, so breathtaking. The visuals capture the essence of summer in a way that I cant really explain in other ways than japan havibg cute shows makes them want to do and almost kind of strive for vibrant colours and soft lighting that create a dreamlike atmosphere. With the scenes that they have captured the river scene etc, you can almost feel the heat of the sun and the gentle breeze as you watch, which immerses you deeply in the story. I will say not a lot of things happen in comparison to other BLs airing around the same time. It might be the whole school plot that I have grown tired of due to the many many JBLs takes place in school settings but its chill.
Generally, I found it engaging enough to hold my interest for most of the runtime. Only looked at my phone or elsewhere for some parts that was less interesting which is also why I haven't rated it as highly as it couldv'e.

I have some things that bug me in the show like how they characters leaving the other, with no word or anything. Its bugs the living **** out of me I cant stand it. It feel like poor writing but well minor detail. Despite my reservations about the storyline, the chemistry between the leads is okay and adds a dynamic layer to the viewing experience. Their interactions are filled with tender, intimate moments that makes me feel the cuteness of their interactions. It's this chemistry, coupled with the stunning cinematography, that ultimately kept me invested in their journey. Even if the plot didn't fully meet my expectations, the beauty of the visuals and the warmth of their connection made it a worthwhile watch.
