I love this drama so much, but it is clearly not for everyone

Just because I love this so much, it doesn't mean this series is for everyone especially about the age-gap. For me, that is not the problem since Shin doesn't force himself as a child to reach out to Minato. He is waiting for 10 years to start.

At the age of 17, he shows up in front of Minato, asking to be a friend.
At the age of 18 when he is already legal, he asks Minato to be his boyfriend.

IMO, after the rejection until Minato finally comes clear with Sakuma Sensei, the story is dull. I didn't even rewatch those eps until I finally watch the final eps and decided to rewatch everything from eps 1.

The indecisive Minato was frustrating, but that is also what keeps me going. I always complained about his behavior but I couldn't leave him alone. Me everyweek: "COME ON DUDE PLEASE SHOW ME A DEVELOPMENT ON YOUR CHARACTER THIS EPS" :')

About their acting, this is Nishigaki Sho's first role as a main lead. For the manga reader like me, he represents Shin so well but a little bit brighter personality. In the manga, Shin has darker personality. He creeped me out sometimes (still read it, tho), but Shin in this drama is not. As a newbie, I think this is a good breakthrough for him.

As about Takuya, I am not into Bullet Train, so I barely knew him before haha but I actually already saw him acting in My Brother Loves Me Too Much and Our Dearest Sakura. Not that impressive. And even though I am not into Cherry Maho, I saw him there. I thought that he can pull the comedic thing. So, at first, it did not surprise me when he acted on funny scene. BUT WHEN HE CRIED, AND FRUSTRATED AND MAKING ME WANTED TO SLAP HIM BECAUSE OF MINATO'S INDECISIVENESS, I know he pulled this character well. He makes Minato more annoying in the drama than in the manga.

Okay, this is my first review. What else should I talk about?

Anyway, I'll rewatch this when I have more free time. I mean, it is considered long with 12 eps for japanese BL. I'm gonna miss the emotional dynamics I experienced when following this drama. Also, gonna miss them so bad bad bad. <3
