Open you heart, and you'll see it has more to offer.

Clarification : First of all, I do like me a good Older FL younger ML love story but of course keep it Legal.

Thoughts: Although I do not support it, I can understand it. It was definitely immature of her and him to do such things but the story and writing tackled this situation quite well actually.
This show has much more to it than it says.
The story is surprisingly wholesome and well done, tho I wish some parts were different but it's not my story is it haha.
Overall I'm happy with how it turned out and yes, it was worth my time. Whenever I review something I always think if a show will be worth my time and Chugakusei Nikki certainly was, so do give it a shot!

Story: As mentioned, they tackled it pretty well. I love the wholesomeness of the show and how it can also be very serious when it needs to.
Maybe if they just decided to wait until Akira is 18 and out of high school things would've been different.
I kind of wished to see the main leads relationship more but oh well.
The story of the second leads were developed nicely too, although the second ML was kind of annoying.

Music: I've always liked Japanese songs so I've definitely heard of the singer (Uru) of the main OST.

The music is so good!! Even now I still have it playing in my playlist haha just can't get enough of it!

No complaints on the OST but they did overuse it a little. I wish they had just one other song to fill the gaps instead of repeating it in scenes that were important.

Background music were good, they were subtle but add just enough effect to the scenes.

Casts and Acting:
I LOVE THE CASTS! Arimura Kasumi is just absolutely adorable!

They all did a good job portraying their characters, it didn't forced.

Overview:
Overall it is a wonderful show that will play with your heart. Beautiful shots and beautiful casts too!

Open your heart to it, and give it time.

Don't go in with a decided mind that you're just going to hate.... like why watch it then?

The story definitely has a lot more to offer than what it is so do check it out!

I genuinely enjoyed it and hope this review helps!
