Good Beginning, Meh ending
The fist few minutes of the show set them in University, before flashing back to 7 episodes of high school, which can be a little confusing to start. I feel like the high school episodes were much better to watch and get a feel for the characters. The evolution of Itt and Pai felt much more natural with slow burn feelings and stolen looks, as well as trying to figure out how they felt about each other. When they get to university, everything felt kind of forced. I felt like Pai didn't look at Itt the same way he did in high school. The tenderness wasn't there that had developed over the high school episodes and it lacked some of the emotional impact then. However, I very much enjoyed everything with Pai's parents and how they handled that. The show is clearly trying to push a few good messages/themes within it, which is nice. (Pure's "Safe sex" sub-plots, etc). I Just really wish the Uni episodes had had the same vibe as the high school episodes, or I would have given this a 10 rating.
