Yoshio Akira
Sweet, heartwarming story
Wish we had more movies/series like this one, it deserves a sequel. Even better than the manga in my opinion but the manga is good as well.Beautiful scenery, excellent actors, characters that grow in a simple story without forced drama just for the sake of it. Good pacing for the story but maybe a bit slow for some, realistic, cute story of 2 characters falling in love, enjoyed their family dynamics as well.
The camera was shaky on purpose for a scene but it did not really work well in my opinion, the way it was filmed made me think it was a bit older then 2020, their love story was a bit rushed at the end, wish they had more romantic scenes.
Rewatched it, will see it again in the future.

Slow burn, needs a remake
Adore the manga so decided to give it a try as well.The story focuses on their love story, it was a great idea to ,,allow,, the audience to hear what the characters are thinking. The characters fit each other so well, it was lovely seeing them slowly fall in love. It is a slow burn but it never dragged just gave them the time they needed, most of the time one of the characters falls first and pursues the other but here they both start from 0 feelings for the other.
It is an older movie and it shows from their phones, rooms, haircuts and the way it was filmed. The chemistry lacks but it is an older movie, for its time I would say they did an OK job. One of the actors did a better job then the other when it came to acting.
It was a simple, cute love story perfect to enjoy with a warm drink on a cold night and I enjoyed it, the manga is better but they did a good job.

Manga is better
The beginning of the series was good, not a minute was wasted but in dragged towards the end just to rush the ending.Liked that they showed their love story from 2 different timelines and the young actors did a decent job but most of the acting was not that great, Ren's friend is a good actor. The chemistry was lacking, the running scenes were really badly done and his mom was confused.
It did have some sweet and heart warming scenes, it was a cute love story, the characters tried to support each other as best they could. Liked that it had some dark themes.
It was ok, enjoyed it for what it was, was rooting for the characters to be together, if it had better actors it would have been a lot better.

Wish it was better written
The cinematography is beautiful, most of the actors did a good job, Jack's actor did an excellent job. It's good they tried a different type of story but it needed better writers.As an action series
Ep. 1 is rushed, some scenes are so badly written they make no sense, later episodes have too many filler scenes they become boring.
Fighting scenes and action scenes are poorly written and executed. There is no tension, it does not matter how much a main character is hurt a min later they act like it never happened, side characters are made of eggshells, touch them and they drop immediately. It does have a few good comedy scenes, one good sad scene.
Had a lot of potential and could have been really good if the story was written better.
As a BL
In my opinion they added the romance just to attract a certain audience but did not hire someone who can write a love story. In 4 episodes it barely has a few minutes of romance, there are more scenes where characters talk about a possible romance between Jack and Joke then actual romantic scenes. Unfortunately the main couple has no chemistry so it's not really a BL.
