Lovely drama

It was cute but cringy at some parts and that was ok because the last episode made up for it.
I do have a problem with Hira's love for Kiroi though. I did doubt what he was feeling as some moments were weird. I shouldn't bring another series into this but I couldn't stop myself from comparing it with Miraculous and cat noir because of the romanitization of stalker behaviour. Him following Kiroi to the dance studio, him looking at that photo of him lovingly and then sleeping beside it, which by the way what were those noises about and if they were what I am thinking then I don't want to know. There were some other parts too but I don't wanna list them. But as Kiroi said : " Gross"
I must confess that I liked Kiroi's perspective more, or maybe because after that we kinda progressed more into their story.
Okay I think I talked enough about the characters, I liked the acting and the chemistry between the both of them, what I didn't like was Hira's obsessive behaviour. Oh to add here I liked the character development. Can I consider it that ? It was more prominent in Kiroi as he went from the cold guy in the first part, to a guy simply misunderstood who was actually very sensible and cute.
Now the story on the other hand was acceptable actually, it wasn't bullies to lovers more like these guy that seems cold on the outside and then a puppy that follows him everywhere and obeys him. And then we got to Kiroi's pov and we got to see another side of him and basically both were madly in love with each other but because of lack of communication they drifted apart, Kiroi wanted to be chased but instead he thought that Hira deleted his number and that kinda means rejection and Hira who thought that he didn't deserve him ( sounds like Heaven's official blessing ) because they were so different, but in the last episode they cleared everything up.
Does it make sense what I say ? English isn't my first language so I hope I didn't make any mistakes or invent new words or grammar rules.
All in all it was good, this review was just me wanting to express my dissatisfaction regarding Hira's feelings that would always cross the line between love and obsession cus if you go down that path, this wouldn't be a romance drama anymore, but a horror story. But I'm pretty sure fans of dark romance would still consider their story cute.
