KelpiView: A Japanese BL Rom-Com that started too well but ended too fast.

First time writing a review here, so bear with me on my incompetence! i will keep it as spoiler free and rational as possible. Do note, this is a review, thus it contains my views on the show. Please dont take it as a fact. You might have a different opinion and thats totally fine.

Overall impression :
A little bit too good at the start, which made the ending a little bit lackluster in comparison. Don't get me wrong, it was an awesome show, but comparing the starting and the ending, i was hoping it would end as good as the start.

What I liked about it:
Great talents!
in terms of character portrayals, both Naito Shuichiro and Seto Toshiki did an awesome job. Seto Toshiki's facial expression is one of the strong points of this drama as a whole.
Scenic cinematography!
not full of breathtaking views, but its aesthetic shots and camera angle works well in gluing the drama as a whole, taking wide angles to show good scenic shots.
Great music!
the ending theme song is fitting and ties to the show really well. thair love is like so close yet so far lol.

What I disliked about it:
Meh kisses.
Well, i've seen better kisses on screen to be honest, but the actors did great portraying that it was a passionate one, although it's just a lil peck.
Lackluster ending.
It has a good ending and i think if i dont compare it, its fine as it is. it was a good way to wrap up the show. But, as i mentioned, the show started out too well and too good that the ending, albeit good, seems a little bit lackluster in comparison. Though it was a sweet ending, i will not deny it that.

Did i enjoy it?
Yes, i did. a little bit too much it seems.

Would i recommend it to others?
Yes i would. If you're looking for a show to binge, this might be the one. if you're new into the BL genre and wanted to watch something as tame as Kieta Hatsukoi but with an onscreen kiss, this is the one.
