(Episode 5) I can't with how normal people act about this whole Mitsuru disappearing act. You may not answer text messages for a few days because you're in a slump, that's fine, but what he did to Sakiko was on a whole another level. He vanished. You can't do that to someone you love without further explanation.
Also, something about Itsuki-san bothers me, but I can't put my finger on it exactly.
I like it well enough. It's got an old school charm to it. I recently finished Love is Sweet (with Bai Lu and Luo Yunxi, who have unbelievable chemistry), and I enjoyed that one too.
Qian Fei and Li Yifei have become friends/partners against all odds, and surprisingly peaceful roommates despite all the shenanigans. With 36 episodes, there is plenty of time to develop their romantic attachment. There's a certain charm to the friends-to-lovers trope when both of them start out with zero romantic feelings for each other.
I will miss this drama. It was a funny and oddly nostalgic weekly watch. It brought me back to my not-so-distant high school days—the friends I'll love forever, the teachers we both liked and hated (and sometimes had silly crushes on), and acting like reading fanfiction was some kind of confidential matter we had to keep to ourselves.
I'm always wary when they go and try to remake a drama that's already perfect (and with such a timeless soundtrack too). It's like the rumoured American Squid Game universe project. Just turn on the subtitles and enjoy the ride.
People who don't watch J-dramas are missing out on a lot of great stuff. Ironically, Netflix has a great Japanese drama catalogue, including Unnatural.
This drama may seem ordinary at first glance, but I don’t think there’s anything else quite like it. It’s as if a uniquely warm light surrounds every scene. I’ve rewatched it many times (it’s my go-to whenever I’m sick and need some bed rest), and it never gets old. I’m glad it exists.
I burst into tears when all the cells appeared. I hadn’t realized how fond I’d grown of this story. It was both such an entertaining and heartwarming journey, and I loved this final season the most.
