I love how short the series is. It means fast character progress without dragging.

I admit I was really frustrated with Hira here. How he constantly said sorry, self depracating and esp hate how he worship Kiyoi like God. It just gets annoying at some point.

But, what's beautiful is exactly how Kiyoi has been supportive of Hira

I love how our rude Kiyoi in S1 has grown to become a man who is supportive of Hira, encouraging him to pursue his dream, taking the effort to cook for Hira despite not knowing how. I especially love how Kiyoi says "Don't look up to me but face me"

Its amazing watching Kiyoi grow, and thanks God..it doesn't come to a waste

I'm also proud by progress of Hira when he finally decided that he can be in the same spot with Kiyoi. That's a huge progress from where he was.

I appreciate how each character grows individually as well as a couple.

The relationship isn't perfect (but none is)! Given the context they started out in high school and it's their first love, I'd say cut them some slack before slapping this as toxic.

They are thriving and healing from the toxicity, that's what is important. Many relationship sometimes start out as healthy but also ends up as toxic.

What's important is that they are not falling deeper into more toxicity, but rather slowly coming out of it.

That's how healing work and I can't wait to see the movie now!
