Glad I Watched It Once-Japanese

Mean girl gets off with a scolding for sabotage, tasering, kidnapping, aiding in the ruining of a marriage, blackmail, causing bodily harm, slander, and a multitude of other crimes...NOPE.

That character's entire part in this show aside, it was a mix of coming of age, first loves, old wounds, and breaking social barriers.

I won't watch this again, but I not sorry I watched it this once.

It was a nice story about what you can accomplish when you have people around you who encourage and allow you to be the best version of yourself.   It also shows it's never a failure if you have learned from it and then applied that knowledge to what comes next.

The kids did great.  I've watch a few series with the ML from this one...while he's a handsome giant of a man, I find his oration to be quite stiff and abrupt.. During his scenes, I couldn't for one minute let myself fall into the story like a participant because his delivery kept dragging me out.   Like happily daydreaming and having someone perpetually blow up lunch bags and then pop them in your ear.

I enjoyed it one time through, the story wasn't awful, but some of the people were decidedly awful.
