Why are all the good dramas the shortest ones?

I am grateful and relieved that Japanese dramas and live actions have shown a considerable improvement in terms of acting lately.

Disclaimer: My thoughts are from someone who hasn't read the manga.

This may be a short one, but it was one of the best written BL dramas I've seen coming out from Japan. There isn't anything that I could call memorable, but you know what? I ain't even mad about it because this story didn't need anything memorable. It is a simple, yet beautiful journey through the life of two men who happen to fall in love with each other.

I enjoyed seeing how homosexuality was portrayed in the story; it felt more natural, more "real," and not over the top like some other dramas try to shove on your face sometimes. The best part was showing the ups and downs of being in a gay relationship in Japan, but represented in a way that many of us in other countries can relate to.

All in all, this is a drama worth adding to your must watch list. The story and its characters will touch your heart enough to make you want to rewatch it.
