Not bad until the end...and maybe if you think to hard about it.
Watched this whole series in one sitting and just came here to review. So everything is very fresh in my mind.
TLDR: If you're watching this for the GL aspect - its good! Lots of cute kisses. I thought both main actresses were pretty and cute and both acted well~ the side characters were fun and got their own little time to shine. There are weird plot holes and things they could have left out, but if you're desperate you can easily overlook them. The antagonist ( not Fuyu, the angry boss lady ) was SOOO good at being horrible, I HATED her lol.
Surface level it was a good fun watch until the last episode...the weird whiplash of "they're together - they aren't - but I don't want to leave you - but bye - but...hi?" iykyk. Kind of ruined it all for me. I left frustrated. They could have done something MUCH better with the last 10 minutes than emotionally play with the viewers. Everything was already wrapped up in a bow, the two leads were going to be together. The husband wasn't treated well anyways, and he obviously wasn't happy in the situation. I just hated all the weird stuff at the end of the last episode. If you want to save yourself some heart ache or frustrated tears, stop watching at 15:50 ( on gaga ).
MAJOR SPOILERS:
Things I LOVED:
- I loved the parallels from the game character they are working on to the actresses clothing in the series. Itsuki always in white like the character pictured and Fuyu always in black. When their relationship is good they both start to wear a heavy mix of black and white. Then when things go down hill they are back to their solid colors. Really fun thing to notice~
- I loved that the father was a stay at home dad, he seemed like a good person. And I just love this representation of a father like this.
- Fuyus "Itsuki voice" I thought it was SO CUTE how alone Fuyus voice would get cute and high pitched with Itsuki.
Things I didn't like:
- That they didn't give the husband a "standing up for himself" moment. There was a really big opportunity here and they just DIDNT...sigh...
- The boss lady suddenly confessing that she liked Fuyu. She can JUST be a mean boss lady, like its fiiiine. Sort of pointless if you ask me.
- Aoyama trying to give the pictures back ^^ same scene as this - the whole scene didn't need to be there. lol
- The reason that Itsuki broke up with Fuyu and HOW she did it in the past. Just didn't feel very thought out. I understand the scary pressure of a parent coming to ask you something like that, but...no threats? No money needed? It just didn't feel like enough incentive for her to completely break Fuyus heart. Also hated the whole cold scene where she pretends to be with Aoyama, felt very off...I dunno...
- Nitpicky, but the fact that they had one ( maybe two?) outfits in all of the flash backs. We are suppose to assume they were together for FOUR YEARS ? and all we get are two outfits and flashbacks from a few days of college. I know they had time restrictions or money restrictions, this doesn't seem to be a huge project. But they could have asked the girls to bring a few change of clothes from their own closet to at least make it feel like more time was passing.
- Making Fuyu literally CLULESS when her husband leaves. Like girl, you are 27, you're telling me you never cooked one meal? You drink milk every night, you NEVER made yourself a glass of milk? I dunno - felt like a littttttle to much, I was sort of getting annoyed at her. But I know they were trying to portray how out of the loop in her own home she was...
- The whole ending but...you already knew that lmao.
