deserved a series and not a special
It was a useless way to spend 45 minutes when I could have watched an episode of an actual series instead. That's what I thought when I finished and a few days later, it's what I still think. I have no genuine fault with the actors or with the story. I just hate that it's 45 minutes long only so everything felt rushed. I would have liked to see a relationship develop slowly over the length of a series. It did introduce me to Kiriyama Renn, though, so I guess that's something. The only reason I didn't hate him in "Back Hug" is because I stopped watching "Love is Phantom" after only 5 minutes, not long enough to work up to a good hate that I could feel developing pretty quickly. He's lucky I decided to try him in anything else. I guess what I'm saying is that "Back Hug" was average, but might have been something better if it had been a full-length drama. And I liked the actors, as much as I was allowed to in 45 minutes.
