A beautiful, yet frustrating drama

I was quite hesistant to continue this drama, because at some point, it really gets frustrating. Like, really really frustrating. But at the end, i am glad that i didnt give up.

This drama is not really romantically. I love a good drama with lots of love and romance, but the focus here is more on other things. Of course their relationship is the topic, but its not like we get a lot of cute moments between them. Its more about the obstacles and how they overcome them. Thats also the point why the drama was so frustrating. They get problems from everywhere around them. Her parents, her sister, her childhood friend, his caregiver. Like uff, gimme a break. But that also led to the most beautiful character development ive seen in a long time - her dad is really great at the end. Seeing him together with the others at Ayukawas basketball match was so heartwarming!

The characters are...tricky. I feel like i liked everyone more than the leads. At least more than the FL. She is so annoying and frustrating and with every episode ive got more tired of her facial expressions, because her acting is really not that nice. Its not unbearable bad, but damn, she isnt that good in showing emotions. The ML was more likeable and i definitely did understand him better. And his acting was quite nice. She needs to grow a backbone asap. x) But what's really saving the show are the support characters! There are a bunch of likeable people and oh my god, i was so happy to see them. And no, her sister is definitely not part of this group. I dont approve her ending up with Haruto, because this precious man deserves so much better! He was, along with Mr. Nabe, Sawada and Ayukawa's mom my light at the end of a long, dark and frustrating tunnel aka drama, lmao. Even Miki got so likeable and nice through the show! They were all so much fun to watch, supportive, funny and loveable!

The Ost is also really great and i listened to it often.

All in all, i would recommend this drama, if you can bare with a ton of frustration. It gets dragged from episode 5 to 9, lol. I dont like it much when conflicts get dragged so long, but they spending time together, although the broke up, saved the scenario. So keep this in mind, if youre not sure. It was annoying as hell, but still bearable to watch.

7 out of 10 stars for the OST and the precious support characters, lmao.
