Story- I absolutely loved it! It was so romantic and angsty. It has everything I look for in a good romance drama. I liked that you don’t have to wait for the main couple to start a relationship cause they start from like episode 3. There is a lot of conflict having to do with life choices though that separates them for a couple of episodes. Each episode gives a little cliff hanger which makes you want to see the next episode. The ending was awesome for the main couple but I like that all the supporting characters find their happy ending as well.
Acting/Cast- The 4 leads did a great job. They made their characters very believable. I loved Fujiki Naohito in this because it’s so different from his Hotaru no Hikari character. The main female actress that played his partner didn’t leave a lasting impression on me. I did appreciate that she had really good chemistry with Fujiki.
Music- There is a lot of music played but I didn’t care for it.
Rewatch- I would definitely watch this again in the future when I'm in the mood for a J romance.
Overall Love Revolution is a romance drama for a more mature audience that I definitely would recommend.

Quite possibly the worst J-drama I've watched in 15 yrs
And it's such a shame because the cast is so lovely. Esumi Makiko is GORGEOUS and a good actress. Yonekura Ryoko is so sweet and charming here. But that doesn't matter because every single character has such illogical behaviors, no one communicates with anyone else, and by the 7th episode I was already sick of all of the love pentagons. There is so much drama, misunderstanding, wishy washy back and forth, that I stopped caring for all of the characters. Usually every drama has one or two salvageable characters. Suga is not likeable in the beginning, but I can't believe in the end, he's the least terrible character. Maybe people really do behave like this in real life, but that's not a reality I've ever experienced and am sure glad not a reality I will ever have to deal with.I went in not quite expecting something as brilliant or fun as Long Vacation or Quartet, but didn't think it was going to be this melodramatic and unnecessary. Hard pass.
