Sweet little 16...
I really liked this J-drama. The story was short but surprisingly intense about 4 high school freshmen who are taking their first steps to adulthood and the changes necessary for that to happen. All 4 of the leads are suffering from one type of trauma or another. One (Mei) is almost OCD when it comes to her relationship with her one and only friend, Ibuki, the female 1st lead. She's so jealous of her that some other students think they're a couple.
It was refreshing to see a female lead who was tom-boyish and comfortable in her skin. I loved the fact that she doesn't change herself (style or confidence-wise) you could see why everyone wanted to be around her. I also loved how she navigated all the love letters and confessions she got from both sexes.
I scored it an 8. I would have scored it higher but the ending is abrupt, to say the least.
Bottom Line: If you are looking for a short drama to watch on the bus or between classes this is a good one.
