Cliche... pensive for like 5 minutes...

The whole memory loss thing... why do writers still use such overused, cliche plot events??

Sooo... she gets her memories back. And she's so chill about it? She doesn't tell anyone? (I HATE WHEN CHARACTERS DON'T TELL ANYONE ABOUT A HUGE LIFE CHANGE IN A SHOW!!! SO UNREALISTIC) She doesn't contact Harumichi or confront her mother. Also, Harumichi's a bit of a slimeball. Poor Tsunemi, she is forreal just cast aside. He uses then dumps her.

This obsession with first love in so many dramas is lowkey depressing... life is a bountiful and diverse experience, through one's youth to their death. Love and meaningful experiences can be found and had at any age. Some people find their person at 45, 50, 80... no need to put love in youth on a pedestal.

I did like how Harumichi was like are you going to full send and go after what you want from life, or follow life's tail wind? or whatever. I was like so true. So many tail wind moments. She just finds him in a small Iceland airport? Why do dramas always have such a rushed lazy ending? They're so slow with development the entire show then cram a ton of stuff into the last episode. Like pace yourself...

Tsuzuru's music bangs though.
