When I was watching this drama I didn't understand anything that was happening and at the end I was like what the fuck did I just see?

You know in Japan it is super important to get married and we all know that. But being with a person with whom you cannot have sex or children for 5 years, what the hell, don't even get married for that.

The office kiss scene was very sensual but they really put it in if nothing was going to happen. I think the best thing would have been for her to divorce him and be with her co-worker who he liked and was sexually attracted to.

You know this is a serious problem, and I know it from experience with my ex-boyfriend. You begin to feel that you are the one who has a problem, instead of noticing that the one who has a problem is the man.

My ex-partner couldn't have sex with me, no matter how hard I tried. Then something happened, and I found out that he had lied to his family and told them that it had only happened once, when we were never able to have sex and he had the nerve to tell his father that it was my fault. . Obviously his father did not believe him, and he told him that he should go to the doctor. But he was even so embarrassed that his father had to say that the doctor's appointment was for him because she was unable to understand that his problem was his and not mine.

I really don't know what happened next because I broke up with him. Not because he had a problem with not being able to have sex, but because he blamed me and didn't even try to make the situation change. I wasn't going to waste my time with a man like him, ever again.

Many times men refuse to go see a doctor, even though they know it is a big problem because they tend to think that they are "less of a man." But if that happens to you, stop being stupid and go see a damn doctor.

Ultimately, this can cause serious problems with your partner or your future partners. Because you know it's not just about the sexual issue, but you are causing serious problems for your partner. Your partner will begin to feel insecure and will blame themselves for the fact that everything that is happening to you is because they have a problem and their self-esteem will go down the drain. And that happened to me, to the point of thinking that she was not physically attractive, but with my current boyfriend I realized that nothing that had happened was my fault. And I was able to regain my self-esteem in myself.

So I didn't understand the protagonist's final decision either. Perhaps there is a slightly twisted message that women should endure these situations.
It's honestly one of the worst dramas I've ever seen in my life.
And I honestly don't recommend anyone watch this.

I remember watching this drama a long time ago, but I didn't finish it because I didn't like Makjang very much at the time. I still don't like it, but since it was a very popular drama at the time and it had nothing to do with it, I watched it.

I really have a hate/love relationship with Maroo. At first he is a complete son of a bitch, he didn't care at all, not even if he was extremely cruel or used any method to fulfill revenge on him. I loved Eun Ki in the first part, she was despotic but also kind, extremely intelligent but unfortunately she fell into Maroo's trap, and she ended up falling in love with him. Which I think was her worst downfall. Later, thanks to her lack of memory (this didn't really bother me much because in the Makjang, too many exaggerated things tend to happen) she becomes a docile woman. I wish she didn't end up with Maroo in the end, he really didn't deserve her and after all the hurt she had done to him on purpose.

Regarding Jae Hee, I hated her from the beginning to the end. I really tried to figure out her thoughts but I could never get an answer as to what she really intended to do or what she was feeling.

I think I'm very hard on Maroo, but honestly if it were me, I wouldn't have forgiven him. I don't know, maybe I would have preferred to get back at him a little.

The performances were excellent, as was the OST. You won't find anything new if you watch this, but it serves to pass the time and has actually aged quite well. What I didn't like was the rushed ending. But hey, it's a Makjang, I couldn't wait much.

I would see again? Probably not. I love Song Joong Ki and if you watch this you can see that her acting skills are on another level. But since I didn't like him character, even though he played it wonderfully, I wouldn't be able to watch it again.

Totally a disaster.

If the directors and scriptwriters intended to be scary and terrifying, they didn't succeed at all.

I can say that the only redeemable chapter was the first episode. It didn't scare me at all, but the story was interesting. You know, my father has always told me "there will be no doors that you won't be able to close later." So that saying from my father fits perfectly with the first episode.

Then the ghosts, they didn't scare me. They made me laugh at how poorly made they were.

What the hell was the headless teacher episode? If you make a horror drama, do it right. There isn't usually comedy in dramas or horror movies ??‍♀️ And what was the last chapter? I really didn't understand anything at all. Not even the protagonist, let's go to none of the class.

The acting was terrible, I'm sorry, but it's the truth. Since I like the horror genre,

I tend to be very critical and strict. But here I only saw visors coming off and a lot of blood. Maybe that should scare me because it didn't scare me at all.

Thais are not good at making dramas or horror movies and that is a fact. I can only say that they did a good job with the "new girl" drama but it was because they knew how to handle psychological horror well. After that, nothing.

I recommend it ? Absolutely not and even more so if you are a lover of the horror/psychological horror genre. And even if you weren't, I assure you that you will sleep peacefully because this is not scary at all. It's just a waste of time.

And I watched this, only because Netflix recommended it to me. I wasn't even looking for it. The stories were so stupid and boring that many times I fell asleep and when I woke up I realized I hadn't really missed anything.

Well I went into this drama blind, I was only watching it because of Dori Sakurada (please make Dori Sakurada, have more main roles and not supporting roles).

At first he didn't understand Shinonome, he clearly hated her and considered her a despicable and disgusting woman but he continued to intervene in the relationship that Maejima had with her boss. He used a lot of emotional and sexual blackmail to trap Maejima in her trap.

When you get deeper into the story you realize why Shinonome hated her so much and wanted her to pay. But there is something contradictory here, it was actually the fault of Maejima's boss for being unfaithful to his wife. Maejima simply messed with him because she was a very lonely woman and the boss took advantage of her feeling of loneliness to cheat on his wife. Later Shinonome had also had an extramarital relationship with his boss's wife. So they were basically in the same boat, so Shinonome had no right to judge Maejima so much.

I understand that he understood that his beloved wanted her to be happy and that she is not willing to leave to her husband . But he targeted the wrong person and was also a bit (quite) hypocritical because he was doing the same thing as Maejima, if not worse.

He gradually falls in love with Maejima, but when everything seems to be going well, his boss's wife appears. She sees them together and with the warnings she had had from her classmates that she should stay away from Shinonome, everything fits together. She knew he was just using her, so she walks away from him, heartbroken. Because she Maejima had fallen in love with him and the feeling of loneliness and being used was gone but she again finds herself with another disappointment. So she walks away from him.

Shinonome misses her and wants to see her but stays away because he knows he has hurt her and she doesn't deserve to be with a man like him.

But when Maejima goes to see a house, she realizes that Shinonome had captured everything she planned to do with that project. So she realizes that Shinonome hasn't forgotten her at all and that he loves her.

So she goes to see him and they get together and finally start a healthy relationship, without lies involved.

The drama is short and interesting because the main characters are complex, there is no black or white in them, there are shades of gray.

I recommend it? Yes, it's short and the story is interesting and when I don't have anything to watch that's interesting to me, I go back to watch it.
The acting is very good and there are never any cringe scenes. And there is a palpable chemistry between the two.

So if you want to watch a short but still interesting drama, I recommend it.

More Dori Sakurada for me hahaha

I read the manga first so I knew what I was going to find ?

The protagonist is annoying, but since I read the manga I wasn't expecting much. Actually in the manga she is even more annoying, but Haruka softened the character quite a bit in the drama. So she wasn't so annoying to me.

I don't agree that there was no chemistry. I don't know how he does it but Dori Sakurada always makes it work.

I really don't understand why they compare this to 50 Shades of Grey. I mean Dori Sakurada's character was not a sadomasochist nor did he want rough sex. She was actually quite sweet, even in the sensual scenes. Maybe they compare it because the protagonist was virginal and Dori Sakurada's character was a rich CEO. But after that, there is no point of comparison.

Dori Sakurada is one of my favorite actors so, even though I didn't like the manga, I watched it because of him.

For those who don't like this... well, more Dori Sakurada for me, sorry lol.

If I give it a high score it is because of Dori Sakurada. I always like to see him act and he doesn't act badly at all. So more Dori Sakurada for me hahaha

I don't know why it has such a low rating, I've seen worse dramas that have a 7.0 rating

Believe me, if you watch short Chinese series on YouTube you will be scared and you will say "well in this case, the protagonist in the end received something of what he deserved after having physically and psychologically abused the protagonist so much."

I don't like to romanticize the fact that the protagonist is a savior angel who will change everything bad about a man. Because then I see girls in real life who have that same thought and end up dead at the hands of their partners. Nobody changes anyone, nor should anyone change anyone. People change because we want to. Men can appear to change for 3 months at most, and then they go back to being the same shit. So that message is too fanciful and harmful.

But that doesn't happen here, the protagonist never expects him to change and in fact, he doesn't change.

So the ending was coherent. The story was too.

And the chemistry between Ho and Janine was spectacular and they are great actors.

If you are too sensitive to these issues, don't watch it, but I always say that it is good to see what happens in reality and let's not live in a Disney story.

I'm probably the only one who enjoys watching this drama and I liked it.

When I started watching it I didn't even read the reviews and even if I read the reviews I don't tend to go by them. Since in 2024 very popular dramas have been made but I didn't like them at all. So I always tend to keep things simple and watch the dramas for myself to see if I really like it or not.

I liked the protagonist. She had personality and determination. It was fun to see in the first part how the protagonist fought with the protagonist constantly, his failed attempts to win her over (because in the end he ended up falling in love with her) and his attempts to separate his brother from the protagonist. They had a pretty funny and entertaining hate/love relationship.

The second part may be the hardest. Many say there were senseless dramas. I don't think that was the case.
If you know anything about Korean culture, you will know that they do not accept homosexual people, they see them as disgusting people. Given this premise, you can understand why Do han is so persistent in wanting to go ahead with the wedding, even though Ah Jung did not want to because had fallen in love with Ji han, untilpoint that he is too selfish and does not take into account the feelings of Ah Jung or Ji Han. But it is understandable, he is afraid of public scrutiny and the reaction of his family if they found out that he was gay.

Finally, seeing that Ah Jung, despite being the most affected when her half-sister leaks the photos with Ji Han, realizes that she is capable of protecting him by putting before the public scrutiny that she was suffering and that her brother took the blame for everything to protect him. and protect Ah Jung, he realizesselfish that he was being and that he was not protecting either of the two people he loved and considered his family.
So he decides, even though his grandfather asks him not to reveal anything (because he already knew he was gay a long time ago), to tell the truth. And leave the country for a while to calm the waters.

Why does Ah Jung decide to break up with Ji han? They had clearly been through a lot, so time away can make you reflect on what you experienced and what is really important for your life. Many people don't agree with people taking time, but I have done it, and in that time I learned a lot about myself, I worked on myself and I realized what things were important to me. And my boyfriend also reflected on some attitudes he was having that made us fight almost all the time and it changed a lot. Just like I did too and that made our relationship even closer.

On the subject of Do Han's ex-partner... many say why did he appear? There are ex-partners who simply come into your life to screw you, there is no reason behind it. He was angry because he wanted to force him to come out of the closet. Nothing else. There isn't much science behind it.

Yes, there were characters that were irrelevant but I didn't find them annoying enough to say "What the fuck?"

I recommend it? I don't know, that's up to you. You can check it yourself to see if you like it or not.

Stupid beliefs that can greatly affect a person.

It's always good to see Bua in a drama, because she is an actress that I really like, she acts very well and is beautiful, the years really make her more and more beautiful.

After saying this, I'm going to talk about the story. It's not complicated and it's also short.

The story is simple: a woman who, due to life's coincidences, all her boyfriends end up dying.

I don't blame the protagonist for believing that she has a curse or something like that. Everyone around her, her mother and even her friend (what a great friend, huh! To have friends like that it is better to have enemies) make her believe that it is her fault.

Even her mother forbids her to approach or have any type of relationship with other men because she truly believes that she has a curse and is even going to pray for her. When really the one who was hurting her with those stupid beliefs is her own mother.

Obviously, the protagonist, seeing that everyone blames her directly or indirectly, begins to believe that it is true that she has a curse and closes her heart completely regardless of her own feelings or her own pain.

Here comes the protagonist, the only person with neurons that work well besides the doctor who was in love with her, who doesn't believe anything about curses or things like that at all. Even though she develops feelings for him, she rejects him completely for fear that something will happen to him because of "her fault."But the protagonist is persevering with her and in the end he opens her heart to her but him suffer a car accident happens to him that causes he car to break down and although he lies to her so she doesn't continue thinking that she has a curse or it is her fault, she feels again afraid and left him.

Meanwhile, he talks to her mother and explains to her that she is not to blame for anything and has no curse, but by not allowing her to be with other men and limiting her feelings, the one who hurts her is herself and her beliefs. Upon hearing this, the mother realizes the mistake she was making and talks to her daughter honestly, asks her for forgiveness and tells her to do what her heart tells her from now on.

She also talks to the protagonist's friend, who is her cousin, and tells her the same thing. That she's not to blame and she's not cursed either (I forgot to mention that her friend had forbidden her from getting close to him cousin because she also believed she was cursed).

The sister of one of her ex-partner also appears and tells the protagonist that she was not to blame for her brother's death, that before she arrived at the altar to marry her, her brother was cheating on her and at that time moment he received a call from his lover, who wasthreatening that she was going to commit suicide). Her ex-boyfriend rushes to go see her lover, leaving her alone, and in the rush she was in, she suffered an accident. But she had nothing to do with it.

In the end the protagonist understands that she is not cursed and that nothing that happened was her fault and returns to the protagonist.

I mean, when I tell it, it may sound fanciful, but it's not like that at all. These things happen and more and more people have more stupid beliefs.
I have had to live it, not to the extreme of the protagonist, but it has happened to me. When I'm was younger, a stupid belief was created in me that if the people I'm loved stayed in the same place as me, bad things would happen to them. And this belief started because in order to bully my brother and make my brother get angry, they would take it out on me, which made him get angry and start a physical fight.

So when we both decided to change schools, I decided to go to another school that was different from my brother's so that nothing bad would happen to my brother at school "because of me."My parents didn't understand why, as did my brother, and I didn't explain it to them until I was a little older. When I told them, my parents told me how stupid I had been and that there was no such thing as a curse or anything like that. My brother, that we didn't talk much when we were younger, when he found out about this he laughed a lot and also said that it was something very stupid. I could see him, apparently happy, but it was not like that at all when he transferred school, they tried to bully him again but my brother already had a different mentality and with his imposing manner, because my brother is 1.91cm tall and has the physical appearance of a rugby player, they didn't They dared to mess with him with him because my brother warned them that they would end up in a hospital if they tried to mess with him. That at first he was like a lone wolf but he was approached by a boy, who became his best friend but then betrayed him. He also made a group of friends but his best friend also betrayed him. So his stay at school was not as happy as I thought. Furthermore, my brother is a very logical person so he usually believes in supertintions, nor in horoscopes, nor in energies, nor in ghosts nor in God. Somehow he always gives you a logical answer.

People have also distanced themselves from me because they believed that because I belonged to the sign of Leo, I would be a very conceited person, but when they saw me and were curious why I didn't act like Leo people act, they approached me and told me why. I was so introverted, I didn't have many friends, I'm was not very social and I'm wasn't the life of the party either. My response was "I don't know, that's just the way I am." Those who believed in the horoscope couldn't figure out why I'm didn't act like a leonine would, but they didn't find an answer. And they didn't find it because it is simply stupid to believe that the horoscope defines you as a person. Otherwise we would all be the same and we will act the same, when this does not happen.

The same thing happens with people who believe that because of your blood group you will be a certain way or that famous test that tells you if you are INFJ, etc. Just like the issue of energies. My mom has a friend, who got involved in a kind of sect that told her that her bad luck would end if she stayed away from her husband, she abandoned her family and do you know what happened? Nothing, her "bad luck" continued until today.

So yes this is true. People lately are obsessed with these topics and with tarot, spending a lot of money to find out how they will fare in love.

They are stupid beliefs. Sometimes bad things happen to you because of your actions or because you should learn something good from those bad experiences.

The drama is short and interesting so I recommend it.

PS: I forgot to mention that the protagonist is a nurse and has an enemy who makes her life impossible just because the doctor (who I mentioned before) was not interested in her. She exposes her past on the networks and shows it to the doctor, to the surprise of this girl. The doctor tells her that it is pure nonsense, it is just coincidences and that in reality what he was seeing was how bad a person she was because of her attitudes.

So yeah, stop believing in stupid supertintions. Just take the time to get to know the person. Because a test, energies or a horoscope do not define a person, they are their own attitudes.

You can't escape your actions, in the end the past will catch up with you.

Hee Joo apparently lives a happy life (I say, apparently because she has to put up with her mother-in-law and obey her orders) and is a well-known artist.

Everything in her life seems great, she is married to a rich man and doing great as an artwork artist, but her world falls apart when she finds out that her daughter has been beaten by a teacher. At first he can't stop thinking about her, she reminds him of someone from his past, but he can't figure out who it is. But Goo Hae-won knows her perfectly and comes to the school where Lisa studies, to get revenge on Hee Joo for everything she did in the past. A past that conveniently for Hee Joon does not remember.

Hee Joon is an artist of manipulation and victimization. She usually thinks she can get his way, quickly. She doesn't regret what she did and doesn't think about her past selfish actions (like abandoning her husband, Woo Jae and cheating on him). There was really no reason for her to do this. Woo Jae did not mistreat her and was willing to do anything for her (including hiding the fact that she knew she was cheating on him). But Hee Joo flees out of her own selfishness, without measuring any of her actions or how many people she hurt in the process.

She has a smile that might make you believe she's the victim in all of this, but appearances are always deceiving. Her smile is her disguise of her true, dark personality.

Goo Hae-won, on the other hand, is a physically neglected woman compared to Hee Joo but this is something significant. She is a person who at one time had a lot of talent but her dreams were frustrated, there is no light or happiness on her face. She but an insatiable thirst for revenge. The desire for revenge has completely consumed her and that is reflected in her appearance. She couldn't tell if Goo Hae-won's revenge went too far or not. Since after the whole truth is discovered, she is not happy. She has been left alone just like Hee Joo.

Many think that Goo Hae-won should have called the police and Hee Joo should have gone to jail but how long would it have lasted? Two years? It's not enough punishment for what he did.

Goo Hae-won gave him a worse life, a true living hell. Without the love of her husband or her children, she was completely alone, without love and without luxuries. Turning her life into a complete living hell.

In the end we see that Goo Hae-won dreams came true while Hee Joo lives hell.

In the end we can see Hee Joo contemplating the place where she disposed of Woo Jae's body, did she commit suicide? Probably.

It's not like he could take another path, if he came back Goo Hae-won would tell everything. That was the deal and his life had already become hell.

I recommend it? If you like revenge shows, yes, if you don't like this type of drama, it's better to skip it. The chapters are long, it's not a short drama and sometimes it gets boring so you might not like it. But it's just my opinion, you can see for yourself if you like it or not.

The performances were very good and the OST goes very well with the drama.

I was looking for something to watch and stealthily this series appeared. She was looking at her without much expectation, really. But it's very good, it's short because there are only 9 chapters and the episodes only last 30 minutes so you watch it in one sitting.

The only annoying thing for me was the side stories. Generally I like to see secondary stories apart from the main one. But it didn't happen here, I think they were quite unnecessary and boring to watch.

Regarding the lack of communication, you'll see a lot of that here but since I've been watching Japanese dramas for more years than Korean ones, I've gotten pretty used to that (I don't know if that's good or bad hahahaha).

Anyway the topic of sex was illustrated in a wonderful and true way. Honestly, I am one of the people who doesn't care much if a person is a virgin when they are an adult.

You know, sometimes it happens that you don't have much sexual appetite and you focus your life on studies or work, so the issue of having a partner usually takes a backseat.

What happens to the protagonist is that she feels that pressure from society and seeks to have sex, with people with whom she feels nothing. Many people don't care, but for many (myself included) it is important to have an emotional connection with the other person, because if you don't you feel empty and you don't really enjoy your sexuality.

When she begins to establish an emotional connection with the protagonist, she begins to feel good, even if it is just kisses because he is a person she is attracted to both physically and emotionally.

Your first time will always be a little awkward and embarrassing, so I didn't feel uncomfortable watching it, because it happened to me. It's a reality, it's not something that doesn't happen. It's not that when it's your first time you will be an expert in the Kama-sutra, you know hahaha

I think it's also important to do it with a person who doesn't have as much experience or hasn't had experience because people who have had experiences tend to be a little abrupt. On the other hand, when you are with a person who is in a situation similar to yours, it is much easier to communicate what you like, what you don't like, whether it hurts you or not.

Obviously the first time always hurts, if it hurts it is better to tell your partner that it hurts and to slow down, like the protagonist did.

I really liked that scene because it is something realistic and it has happened to all of us who have had sexual relations the first time.

I really recommend it, it's short and nice. And you will look at it quickly.

A story that I think I will never forget for the rest of my life.

I think I cried at this story when I was 15. How time flies! Now I am 28 years old.

I decided to write this review because I suddenly remembered Miura and it was Koizora that made me meet him.

I was just watching it last night but this time I didn't cry like when I was younger. Could it be that I've become colder? hahaha.
But I did keep thinking about how obsessed I was with Koizora at that time, and even more so when I learned that it was a true story. At first I didn't really believe that this story was real, I kept wondering, does this type of love really exist? Well, reality always surpasses fiction, right?

I still like the story even though a decade has passed. I think they are stories that never die and you will continue to remember them even if you are of age.

The chemistry between Yui and Miura was very good but I felt a little uncomfortable in some scenes, especially the intimate scenes. Not because it bothers me to see intimate scenes, but because they were recorded from a slightly strange plane lol.

I also believe that even if I am 40 years old, this story will remain in my heart and I will never be able to forget it.

Hi! I come from the future. Year 2024.

Is it really good for a girl to have a child at 14 years old? Definitely not. It's like a child taking care of another child.

But it leaves you reflecting for a long time. To the people who commented on this 3 years ago, well a lot has happened in these 3 years, like Miura's death.

Many say that this drama is anti-abortion. I don't know what your opinion really is regarding this, but Japan having a very low birth rate, it is understandable that it does not give a message of "go and get an abortion."Nowadays, women suffer a lot if they want to have an abortion, because they need their partner's authorization, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THEIR BODY, and many are such children of... that they do not give permission. And if you get them the pills are really too expensive to buy. They also can't have their tubes tied or anything like that. It's not that easy.

The issue of abortion has never been easy in any country. Even in my country, when the law was approved in 2020 and it was a great debate throughout the entire society. Even though it was approved, many doctors refuse to practice it and there is also a very large sector that looks down on women who have abortions for reasons of religion. It has never been an easy topic to deal with and at the end of the day you realize that in reality you are not even the owner of your own body.

Now, if I had been Miki, I think I would have been terrified and scared to death. Even at my age, I am terrified that something like this will happen to me because I don't feel ready to be a mother.

I agree that you are dissatisfied because they do not show the consequences that it can bring in the future. Because we all know that bringing a child into the world is not like buying something and throwing it away when you no longer use it. You are no longer a woman, you are a mother and you must dedicate a large part of your life to your child. Your life stops and you can no longer do things that you had planned to do with your life in the future. But in the end, it is each person's decision and whether we like it or not, we cannot force that person to see things the way we see.

Cases like Miki, there are millions today. I see more and more girls like Miki having children.
I've had close calls where I actually wondered "What the hell? Why did you decide to have it if you weren't going to properly care for them and if you weren't prepared?"

My answer came faster than I thought at the time, in an open conversation with a girl I realized that she had dropped out of school and had never properly had a good sexual education. In Japan, sex education is non-existent. I remember when I was 13 they gave me a little talk about "sexual education" (they actually just showed me how to put on a condom, nothing more lol).

I had that famous awkward talk with my parents. They did explain everything to me in detail, especially my father. I really appreciate having that talk with them today, it wasn't awkward or anything. Maybe it was because my parents found a way to explain it to me in a way that wasn't uncomfortable for me.

But the Japanese never have those talks with their parents.

In conclusion, my answer was the little or no lack of education, in all areas and that the vast majority came from unstructured families. So I could better understand the things that happen today.

I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever seen. But I also can't deny that I enjoyed watching it and it left me thinking a lot about it.

From your point of view, the answer may be very clear. But it's not so clear when you face that situation. There is no right or wrong, in these cases, there are only decisions and consequences, nothing more. It depends on the decision made by the person who is going through this, whether the consequences were good or bad.

Well, since I had already read the manga a long time ago, I didn't really find Kou's actions irritating because I had already insulted him so much in the manga that I took it out quite a bit on him at the time.

Now that I've grown up and look at it from Kou's perspective. I can understand Kou, let's not forget that he is a teenager so at his age very stupid things are said. Since he was the one who took care of his mother the most in the hospital, it was obvious that her death will cause him trauma. The same thing happened to my father when my grandmother died and he was a 56-year-old person. He was locked in my house for a year so that no neighbor would ask him anything and to this day, every time it is her birthday he brings her flowers and talks to her. Since my grandmother my family has never been the same. We no longer celebrate any celebrations, like Christmas and things like that. Imagine on a teenager what a big impact that must have been.

So he felt obligated to be with Narumi, out of a feeling of guilt because she said she had no friends (that in the manga is a lie, Narumi did have friends) and he used a lot of emotional tack to keep him as long as she could.

But to his surprise, this ended when he realized that he was really losing Futaba, the only one who made him happy. So he himself decided to cut off relations with Narumi. I really liked him when Narumi asks him if he ever liked him and he gives a resounding "no."Ouch, that must have hurt hahaha but she deserved it for being manipulative.

I also really liked Futaba's attitude, with Kou it was always "you rejected me, so don't think about seeing my stupid face again." It was really difficult for Kou to get Futaba back because she was quite reticent towards him.

Futaba tried really hard to make things work out with Kikuchi, she felt guilty and tried not to make Kikuchi feel insecure. But here I want to say that Kikuchi was quite manipulative too, he practically forced Futaba to give him an answer, even though she reiterated that she still had feelings for Kou but he still forced Futaba, to the point that her friends, especially one, he couldn't stop treating herlike a slut, making Futaba feel worse. You know, she was clear to you from the beginning and she never guaranteed anything, what the hell did you expect? lol That's why I didn't feel bad at all when Futaba broke up with him, since he brought this on himself by wanting to force things.

Teenagers are just that, teenagers. They can make mistakes a thousand times and still learn. Meeting new friends that make your life more bearable and a lot of crazy things we do when we are in love, especially if you are a teenager.

Don't expect very mature attitudes, when they are that. Teenagers.

I really enjoyed it, everyone acted well and I really felt like I was watching the manga in real people because they even tried hard to make the actors look as physically similar as possible.

I really enjoyed this drama! I think it gave a good adaptation to the manga compared to the movie.

I am a huge fan of Strobe edge. It was the first manga I read by Io Sakisaka and I loved it.

The story is very simple and cliché actually but I still like the manga that give off innocence such as the first love and everything that this entails but when I saw the cast I knew that it would not work and I was not wrong.

Arimura does not strike me as a good actress. She has seen her in other dramas and she always has the same face. She is not expressive at all and she was not a good choice to represent Ninako. She never conveyed the sweetness of the real Ninako to me. She just looked like a girl without expression.

And Sota ... I'm sorry but she doesn't seem like a good actor either. I love Ren and maybe that's why it was painful for me to see him play him because he didn't do a good job.

Neither of them had chemistry and they didn't convey anything to me.

I would really only recommend that you stick with the manga and that's it.

This movie exists because the drama was a disaster.

When I made my review, I stated that the biggest conflict that existed was between the director (who did what she wanted) and the author (whose ideas and calls were not respected).

Considering this and with an angry Korean audience it was normal that they wanted to do a "compensatory".

I really have no idea why some actors agreed to be in the movie and others didn't but the webtoon was portrayed in a good way. Of course, if you compare it to the drama, it seems very little. But it's not that bad, it's just not a big deal and it was noted that it was made to calm the waters a bit. That if, if you don't know the story previously, you will surely think "What the hell am I seeing?" because it's quite confusing trying to suppress so much in such a short time.
