Love Is Better the Second Time Around - episode 1 to Finale
It has been a while since I completed a BL series lol
I was hooked by the end of the first episode. I love how short the series is, how easily it flowed without any filler scenes or episodes. I also appreciated how intimate the scenes were shot with so few actors. It made the series come off as warm.
Plot-wise, I liked it a lot. I did begin to wonder about a few plot holes in the background story, but it all came together quite lovely in the end.
I can really understand where Miyata was coming from in the early episodes. It is a very stressful experience to get your feelings hurt by someone you like, so I can only imagine what it would be like if you love the person. That internal struggle Miyata went through is so valid because giving such a person a second chance really does feel like a betrayal to the younger/past you that had to get over the heart-break and/or hurt feelings. I think the actor who played Miyata portrayed this internal struggle well, making it real and relatable.
I love the cinematography of the NC scenes. They were beautifully done; they carried the depth of emotions that the story warranted.
All in all it was a good watch.
8/10
