I've never been so happy that "miscommunication" is the foundation of the drama's conflict!
The plot of this drama is truly exceptional. It breaks away from the typical predictable high school love story and offers a fresh perspective while still maintaining the sweet and innocent essence of young love. The pacing is just right, neither dragged out nor rushed, and the story unfolds with perfect consistency. Unlike other stories where unspoken feelings lead to prolonged tension, this drama avoids that trope, making for a much more enjoyable to watch.
Although Japanese BL miscommunication is a common issue, Aoki and Ida's relationship stands out because they manage to avoid this pitfall. While they do have occasional disagreements, these conflicts stem from their struggle to comprehend their newfound emotions rather than from any lack of communication. This unique approach adds depth to their characters and makes their story all the more compelling.
I appreciate the inclusion of the secondary storylines involving Aida and Hashimoto as supporting characters. Their presence adds a sense of wholesomeness to the overall story. Furthermore, I admire the writer's decision not to portray Hashimoto as the typical third-wheel character, which is a refreshing departure from the overused trope often seen in similar stories. This choice contributes to the unique and engaging nature of the storytelling.
The casting for the characters in the show is truly exceptional. Michieda Shunsuke's portrayal of Aoki is nothing short of brilliant. He effortlessly embodies the goofy, funny, clumsy, and kind aspects of the character, while also delivering the sincere, strong, mindful, and considerate traits with great skill. His acting is consistently top-notch, and I couldn't find a single scene where his performance felt anything less than genuine. Additionally, Maguro Ren deserves praise for his portrayal of the inexperienced first-time lover, as he brings the character to life with remarkable authenticity, drawing the audience into the story.
I commend the production team for their ability to portray various scenes in different locations, which keeps viewers engaged and eager for the next episodes. Additionally, the background music is a perfect complement to the story. The carefully curated OST enhances the drama and is well-suited to the overall narrative. This attention to detail adds depth and richness to the viewing experience.
Overall, this drama is a must-watch for anyone looking for a fresh take on young love and a well-executed plot.
