I'm just going to copy and paste my thoughts for Futtara Doshaburi I shared on the drama profile earlier.
Kaori's character agitates me beyond measure. She exploits Hagi's generosity solely for her own benefit, brazenly presenting a distorted version of their relationship to their friends. In doing so, she reduces him to nothing more than an accessory, completely disregarding his feelings and discomfort. At every turn, she brushes him off, providing neither affection nor support and even chooses to stay at her family's home to evade him. To add insult to injury, she has the audacity to rummage through his phone and then storm out. It would be the bare minimum for her to extend him the courtesy of a conversation rather than simply fleeing the situation.
Fuji swings from wanting Sei to feel important to acting like Sei's very existence is a bother. He feigns interest in Sei's day, but then turns passive-aggressive when he doesn't get the details he craves, all while sharing next to nothing about himself. Sei is isolated, and it's painfully obvious that Fuji has a hand in that. Whenever Fuji senses Sei pulling away, he resorts to some pathetic love bombing to keep him close. It's unsettling how his facial expressions can shift from soft to icy in a heartbeat. Absolutely chilling. Why on earth would anyone poke at a bruise? He clearly knew it wasn't broken since Sei had it treated at the nail salon. It’s all about jealousy; he can't stand the thought of Sei getting attention from anyone else. Honestly, that behavior is way too intense—Sei needs to get out of there, like, yesterday.
I would also like to say that I love the consent during the NC in this episode Hagi was being so gentle it's what him and Sei needs so desperately and deserve
