i seldom write reviews, so please excuse me if this one's a bit all over the place, but i just had to share my love for this incredible show. This is a very heartfelt show about two very realistic characters that made me laugh as well as it made me cry.

This is a fairly domestic, slice of life show that manages to never become tedious, and this is coming from someone with the attention span of a toddler. the conflicts that the main characters face are interesting, without being over the top or stupid. it also manages to deal with many important issues that people in the LGBTQ community have to deal with. I feel like this show's handling of these issues is one of the best things about it, in that it shows how the characters are affected by homophobia and prejudice without reducing the characters to nothing but victims. I also really like how the show includes a different dish in each episode. during each episode I was always waiting in anticipation for the recipe, haha.

I feel like one of the strongest points of this show is the characters/acting. I admittedly have not read the manga that this is based on, but I found myself absolutely adoring the characters. the main characters had so much personality. they were both flawed and unique, and I think that made this drama amazing. the actors portraying them were perfect. they were both completely believable, and manage to seem genuinely in love without having to be overly affectionate.

the music was good, I don't always really notice the music in the shows I watch but I liked the songs in this one. they always fit well with what was going on

rewatch value: I'm already wanting to rewatch this show and I only finished it a few hours ago so that has to say something, haha. I want more.

final rating: 9.5/10 (tempted to bump it up to a 10/10) I would honestly recommend this to anyone, especially those that want a sweet/heartwarming watch or someone that is interested in LGBTQ issues.
