A drama with no clear identity or purpose

The story was an indecisive plot about a bunch of high school friends being indecisive until, ten years after graduation, their pent-up emotions force them to half-heartedly act. I'm not sure what the message was. And, while I like the ensemble style, I am not persuaded that those five people really knew each other like inseparable high school buddies should so I felt that the backstory had some really thin spots.

I'd have been content if it had lived up to the potential of being a light drama about the healing power of love and baseball. Instead it spends too much time in slice-of-life melodrama territory before it decides to blindside us with random resolutions while leaving us hanging on the main plotlines until the last second. And I got a case of SLS for Miyabe-san. Whoever tried so hard to make her character look creepy and pathetic: You failed and I don't like you!

It was competently acted but I think the directors failed to use the leads' strengths as physical actors who can fill the screen with motion. All that static, tight cinematography did not let them show their best.

I wouldn't watch it again and can't say that I really recommend it. Even for fans of the leads you're not missing out if you skip it.

slow burn, slice of life drama

Let me start saying this is not a drama for everybody, i almost dropped it after the 3rd episode cause it made me fell things.
The story is nothing revolutionary, but the way it was portrayed raw and not overly dramatic made it so much better.
The acting was good, i really liked the fl and the 2nd couple's acting, on the other hand the casting was well done the 2nd ml was spot on.
The music did not add anything to the show, but at least didn't harm it.
I'll probably rewatch in times when i'm in need of a good cry, cause it kinda mess with my emotions, i think is somehow relatable with the struggles from our day to day life.
overall is was a good drama, the characters and their relationships in today's society made me rethink my own, that's what hit hard for me the relationship with the parents, and between them like peers and how everything changes
