Maybe every single BL series will suck from now on
I started watching this series when it got released, ever since the first ep, I have never read the novel and neither watched previous trailers, just started watching because I thought the title was very poetic. Because of that I wasn't caught up on the hype around this series, that made me watch it with pretty much zero expectations and it was an amazing and beautiful surprise.99% of the series is set in the late 1920's and yet the discussions that were brought up are still relevant nowadays, such as homophobia, sexism and social inequalities, even though these topics were never directly named throughout the series.
Every episode is an emotional rollercoaster, with perfect balance between light and heavy scenes, and even the heavy ones are displayed with a tragically beautiful sensibility. The actors brought to life such complex feelings with their expressions, that most of the time no lines were necessary to makes us guess what's going on inside the characters' mind.
I fear it'll take a long time until another BL series tops I Feel You Linger in the Air's plot, acting, music, (the soundtrack goes accordingly to the historical moment the series is set and no one pulls out a guitar out of nowhere and starts singing out of tune), simply everything about this is beautiful!
Time travel and lovers in different lives are such a cliché plot, yet this series works with it in a very smart way and it's totally worth it to watch the one hour long episodes. I'm eagerly waiting for a second season!

There must have been a dawn
It was just the first episode and I'm so excited! I'm really happy for being able to see Jimmy and Sea together on the screen again, my expectations are also really high since this is directed by P'Aof. Honestly, I think this show will be breathtaking, even though the plot does remind me of Intouchables. However, already in the 1st episode we can see it won't be a copy paste from the French film, the differences between the caregivers' characters backgrounds and the acquired disabilities of the ones in need of being taken care of, shows a bit of how the story will unfold.The photography is amazing and ending the episode with "the essential is invisible to the eye" quote from The Little Prince was just beautiful. I can't wait to watch the 2nd episode next week!

If you're an AKB fan, or want to get to know them, this show is totally worth it
If you're an AKB fan, or want to get to know them, this show is totally worth it. I watched only because it's AKB, I wanted to see how they were as actresses and I did get quite impressed by some of them, specially taking into account their personalities. Some of the pairings annoyed me a little to be honest, I wished Sae had more interactions with Sayaka, Yukirin and Yuko characters, her being that attached to Acchan was a little off to me.Also, Rena's character was the best, totally a show stealer!

Prepare yourself to cry
I came across this movie almost 10 years ago, when I was finishing high school and was feeling gloomy about my future. I decided to watch it because of one specific scene I saw on Tumblr, instantly I knew this would make me cry my eyes out and that was exactly what I needed at that point, but it also made me cheer up. The movie starts quite cheerful and it feels just like another high school love story, until all the characters personal issues starts to unfold, and it shows that everyone is living ther rainy days. However, by the end of it we realize that, despite of our decisions and actions in the past, no matter how bad they were, there's always a chance to become a better person and overcome those reiny days.By the way, Nozomi Sasaki's acting in this movie is just amazing, she swings perfectly from cute to dramatic without overdoing it.
