Light-hearted with a good dose of doki doki

It's your typical best friends to lovers story which begins as a one-sided crush. The story development is predictable but the screen writing didn't make it boring. Expect the usual miscommunication and missed opportunities, and characters plagued with doubt and self-worth, as well as the "love guru" friend who helps to finally move things along.

And also expect plenty of doki doki. Some scenes (e.g. the bridge scene) were shot beautifully, lighting (japanese film makers never cease to amaze me with their ability to capture natural light in all its glory), music, shots/angle, coloring. Comfortable pacing and had a nice build up of tension to create those moments that gave me butterflies in my stomach.

Overall a feel-good, light-hearted series that doesn't overdo the angst. Actors were suitably casted but a little wet behind the ears and some scenes were delivered awkwardly. A good "filler" BL series to turn to when there's a dearth of good dramas.
