o drama é uma graça, entrega uma vibe mais calma, de inverno, com cores frias, mas ao mesmo tempo passa uma sensação de calor em cada cena aconchegante de uma memória. é realmente lindo de assistir. os atores encaixaram muito bem nessa estética e entregaram bastante química ao meu ver (conheci o honda kyoya (ritsu) em animals e fiquei muito animada quando vi que ele estaria em um bl). uma coisa que não gostei muito foi o plot da mentira/esconder coisas, é uma atitude muito egoísta vinda de quem diz amar a outra pessoa. entendo a proposta do plot no drama, mas não me agrada muito. fora esse pequeno detalhe, achei muito bonito acompanhar os dois personagens relembrando e redescobrindo o porquê de terem escolhido estar juntos.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Cozy Warmth for Cold Days
This show has quickly become a comfort watch for me. Something about the way the beautiful cinematography, the quiet intimacy of the dialogue, and even the big fluffy scarves and sweaters all add together... it's deeply soothing to me.I really like the concept of the story. So many romance dramas focus on the couple getting together, so having the focus be on an existing couple is plenty unique on its own. Combined with the intimate exploration of one specific relationship as well as reflections on what makes relationships work or fall apart in general, this makes for a truly unique premise.
A premise that is then beautifully executed. The acting is stellar, the pacing is perfect, and the dialogues feel natural and realistic which is important for a quiet show like this that is quite dialogue-heavy.
I also especially love how much sense each individual character's actions make. Fumiya's desperation to preserve his relationship by concealing the past, Ritsu's quest to get his memories back, Shuji's concern over lying to his brother. All these motivations feel logical and realistic. The story as a whole is fairly grounded despite the slightly outlandish setting. The characters inhabit a real world with real issues and face real consequences for their decisions.
But at its core this is not a story about the tragic disintegration of a relationship; it's a story about love. About cherishing the people you hold dear, about openness and honesty, about the deliberate effort it takes to make a relationship work, and about the simple pleasures of spending time with the person you love.
There are no grand confessions, no unnecessarily dramatic fights, no meddling exes, no plot-convenient misunderstandings.
So if you're looking for a down-to-earth romantic drama with a cozy slice-of-life feel and not too much angst, then I would absolutely recommend this one. It is also simply a good queer love story so anyone who likes those will very likely enjoy this series as well.
As a side note - the music is also excellent and I could honestly listen to the opening and closing themes over and over again on repeat if that sways you either way.

Memory
This show is about memory, and the repetitions the show allows, with the flashbacks being not for us but for them, they are remembering, and even then in the end we get deeper memories pulled out. It's a beautiful show, well acted, beautifully filmed. Short, but just on top of its story, beginning breakup to end 2nd chance.It starts with Fumiya breaking up with Ritsu, who runs out has an accident and loses memory. Fumiya then decides to let them fall back in love again, rather than explain the relationship and breakup. Ritsu is suspicious of the attention, but Fumiya clearly is falling back in love, and having trouble with the setup he set up. He's seeing original Ritsu when they first got together again and is having trouble not being with him. First Fumiya's flashbacks give him a chance not just to remember the good times, but to regret what has been lost, to feel like the new situation isn't quite right at all.
And we end with Ristu getting his memories back, including the earliest one of Fumiya, before their official first meeting.
Great use of flashbacks to really show how memory is part of love.

warm vibes and I loved it
it gave me sad feeling even though it had happy ending. However I loved ittt so much it gave warm feeling all the way. I loved how they acted as well, they made me live with them the story. Also, I loved how cute the bottom is and how gentle their love scenes together, I always wished all the way that if they had more love scenes as they were so beautiful and cute . The way Ritsu remembered everything was beautiful too, the incident made them reconsider their break up as sometimes the easiest thing to do in any relationship is breaking up once it comes to problems. And The soundtrack is sooo beautifulVond je deze recentie nuttig?
One of the Best BL Drama
This is truly one of the best BL Drama we have seen so far.Funabiki Shinju wrote a wonderful depiction of true love in this BL relationship. It is one of the few times that I have seen where a same sex relationship is treated with dignity and respect, and treated just like any other relationship.
Additionally, the music is perfectly matched to enhance the scenes. They are not just underscoring the scenes.
It is beautifully filmed and the acting is wonderful.
Shout out to Yasukawa Yuka &Takahashi Natsuki as well!
Bravo!!!
