JDramas had done it again with their forte: slice of life. Initially, I found myself somewhat annoyed with the female lead simply because I resonated with her. I used to be a people pleaser, always reading the atmosphere and trying to smooth things over. Sometimes, dramas can hit a little too close to home.

I loved how the female lead learned to love herself in the end and didn't end up with anyone; I thought that was the best possible ending. Although, I must admit, I did find myself cheering for Shinji, despite being a walking red flag.

There was a scene in the show that I really appreciated. It was the one where she admitted to hating her mom and said it directly to her. Later, she regretted it. I found it incredibly relatable and realistic. Parents often do things we don't like, which can lead to feelings of resentment or hurt. Yet, in the end, we often regret saying hurtful things to them.

Additionally, because we tended to please our parents or others, we sometimes did things we weren't comfortable with just to make them happy. There were also times when we pretended to be interested or listened attentively, even though deep down, we weren't fully engaged. I think this show also did a great job of exploring these topics.

Someone like her should focus more on herself instead of being with someone else. That was the best course of action. Also, both guys were red flags, though they did somewhat redeem themselves toward the end, especially Gon. I still believed they all needed to grow individually.

I would recommend this series to anyone looking for a slice of life drama that addressed themes such as unhealthy relationships, people-pleasing, guilt-tripping, unexpected friendships, dreams, family, healing, and self-love. If you enjoy or don't mind these themes, I think you would definitely enjoy their long vacation as well.
