it's very, veeeeery slow paced. the progress of the characters and their relationship are in focus and, you guessed it, excruciatingly slow which is realistic but can be frustrating for those watching a show for entertainment. the platonic/romantic aspect is up for interpretation and either ways there's no denying that it's a lovely build up. it's fun to watch though. my only issue is with the directing and camera/scene switching because it seemed quite abruptly cut and happazard. i would suggest you watch this while doing background menial tasks because fast-forwarding or skipping scenes ruins the whole appeal.
