Extremely warm, charming and high quality but...
In general, it can be called very good. Cinematography, acting, friendship, sound are very good in every way. The reason was this, for me it was a point where the glass overflowed, especially what I hate to see in BL dramas. Aoki is a man and all his life he knows himself as a hetoro called normal (especially in a place like Japan) Then there is a misunderstanding between him and Ida, exciting, everything is good. After a series of events, she acknowledges that she is in love with Aoki Ida. WHAT? Was it that easy and simple? He doubts himself a little and accepts it immediately. HOW? Is it that easy to realise you're gay if you haven't realised it since you were a child?
Anyway, it saddens me when I don't see that emotional depression and denial followed by painful acceptance in a Bl.
(The same problem seemed to be relatively present in Cherry Magic!, but there, too, Kurosawa's interest and love was so sweet that it could make anyone who is straight gay. 😉)
(A good example I can give is Chu Sang Woo in Semantic Error. His suspicion, his escape, his inability to accept was very realistic)
