Bravo Nadao!

This "review" contains no spoilers. I commend Nadao, the writers, producers, actors, cinematographer, director and anyone else that had a hand in the production of this series. It tackles a number of issues which are usually glossed over or completely forgotten in most other BL/Coming of Age dramas. Although, at some times it can be a a little "over the top" I find it to be very realistic and "true to life" for the protagonists. College life can be scary and exciting at the same time. However, going into this while in a relationship, especially when frequently separated can be very daunting. Change is inevitable and not everyone can accept it as easily or readily as others. In a "real world" situation which this series portrays, things don't always go as we the audience would like and that's why I really enjoy this series. In life, mistrust, betrayal, jealousy, misunderstanding, miscommunication, love & hate are all part of learning about one's self as one grows and matures. It is a pleasure to watch a drama which isn't afraid to "piss off" it's audience to show us that life doesn't always have a "happy ending". And that sometimes, we have to hurt the one(s) we love the most to truly understand them and ourselves... Bravo Nadao!

Update..

I very much enjoyed watching this series now that it has concluded. It was a roller coaster ride of emotions but in the end your heart knows what is wants, even if it defies all logic. If you are undecided as to whether to watch the series or not please please do not pay any attention to all the social media comments, or any "armchair critics" here in this forum. Watch it and decide for yourself. Go into it with an open mind, it may clash with your moral standards, and while what transpires can and does happen in real life, it is after all just a dramatic series with fictitious characters created for entertainment purposes. Again Bravo Nadao!
