Bittersweet and lovely

Okay, so this drama was excellent in my humble opinion.

The story is slow and realistic, not like other dramas at all. It's about these two characters that meet once and quite immidiately find chemistry. Ito Akira is handsome and cool but not a bad guy at all, just sort of diligent and polite. Nishi Yuuki is very young-minded and brutally honest with himself, which is all but new to Ito.

Ito's main issue is communication, both to others and to himself. He does what his parents think is best; trying to fit in with society and be as normal as possible, which eventually leads to some pain for both main characters. It's his personal intrigue to learn to stand up for himself. As for Nishi, he is quite shy and sensitive when it comes down to it, but he knows what he wants and doesn't let other people tell him what he is. He is himself.

Throughout the series, the characters go through different dilemmas that any couple would. It's more about life in general than specifically BL.

There is a sweet cameo in the last episode, too, from another BL drama, so that was a blessing to see.

Like I said, the story is not intense but realistic so if you like slice of life, this is definitely for you.

Such a serious and sweet drama, I've rewatched it a couple of times just because it makes you feel at ease and warm inside. :-)
