I'll begin by saying. I did read the manga before I watched the drama. The drama kept true to the manga (original work). I'm glad that the drama kept true to the original work. So very glad. I thought the drama was excellent. I also thought the drama was raw, heavy, depressing, and pretty hardcore. The cinematography, color grading, and music were atmospheric.

Now onto the actors. The actors who played the main characters in the drama were good choices. They were pretty on point with the characters. And the same goes for the supporting actors. I think the main and supporting actors portray the characters really well. I think they did a phenomenal job.

Now, I want to talk about the NSFW scenes. The NSFW scenes were so intense. And also, the scenes were realistically shot. The kisses and sex were so raw and realistic. I must say, I was pretty hot and bothered by the kiss and sex scenes. I had to wash my eyes with holy water after watching those scenes (not literary). Moreover, the kiss scenes and sex scenes will live in my memory forever. Some scenes from the drama made me tear up.

I just want to say Nishina Masumi and Kusakabe Ritsu's relationship was troubled, complex, and bittersweet. And on that note. The drama made me an emotional wreck. Just so you know, the ending was ambiguous, but the last chapter of the manga was also ambiguous.
