STORY 7/10
The story is kinda cliché and uses all well-known tropes. But it caught my attention from the beginning and it made me finish the show in one day. I was just so worried for the characters that I couldn't stop watching this.
There were like three things I didn't like about the story. The first is that Nao's parents, while presented as loving, emotionally blackmailed her, had little regard to her feelings and this 'communication problem' was never really resolved. The second is that I would like to see more of the protagonists' character development. The third is that the ending felt rushed and I would appreaciate if we saw more of the characters' future.
ACTING/CAST 9/10
They were all good. I loved seeing Toda Erika in the sympathetic role of the heroine's best friend. I wish the screenplay gave more space to Kamenashi Kazuya at least in the final two episodes, I really wanted to see more emotion from him.
MUSIC 6/10
Seriously...there was like one main theme that played over and over again. It was a good and memorable one but aside from that, I cannot say I remember any score pieces from this show (and I just finished the show!).
REWATCH VALUE 5/10
I wonder about this one...maybe if the mood was right, I would consider watching this again, but I don't think it'll happen anytime soon. Except maybe rewatching my favorite scenes of course :).
OVERALL 7/10
WHAT KIND OF FEELS THIS SHOW GAVE ME
Melancholic and happy-ish, mostly. Episode 7 broke my heart and when I was watching episode 9 I was like 'where the f*ck are they going with this?'. Several scenes made me laugh, two made me cry and my heart did beat really fast very often because I was so worried for the main couple. I hope it's not a big spoiler when I say that the ending was happy and almost satisfying.
