This series ventures to explain a relationship between 2 unequal people all from mostly the perspective of Hira who is the most self-deprecating person I have ever seen. What do you do when you fall in love with a person who puts you on a pedestal and almost worships the ground you walk on. Could you even continue being with the person or leave out of sheer frustration.

In every episode you see Hira acting like his old self again where he idolises Kiyoi and considers himself unworthy of his affection thereby putting a strain on their relationship. He fears that this handsome man will leave him someday and he will lose all purpose in life. This fear has such a grip on him that he fails to understand Kiyoi’s feelings and you can’t help but feel bad for him. He wants Hira to have some confidence in himself and be with him as his equal.

The four episode mini series is all about this relationship between the two people who struggle to keep their relationship going against every effort of Hira to stay emotionally distant and Kiyoi to keep pursuing him. All this while Kiyoi is realising his dream of becoming a famous actor loved and adored by people.

Hagiwara Riku does a great job playing Hira, a character who is broken to the point of being pitiful. He has such low confidence that he uses derogatory terms towards himself. He knows he loves Kiyoi but doesn’t expect that feeling to be reciprocated and even fails to accept it when Kiyoi does tell him that he likes him. Kudos to Yagi Yusei playing Kiyoi, a struggling actor who is trying to find a footing in the industry and being in love with a guy so oblivious that it irks him many a times. He is still hopeful that one day Hira will acknowledge his feelings and accept him as his equal.

You need to watch this series for the great portrayal of a hopeless relationship between a beautiful actor and awkward photographer.
