3rdy

I must admit this has been on my watchlist for so long because I was struggling to convince myself to do so even though I've seen all the edits, the reviews, and the recommendations. I guess knowing now about the issue of the MC that's a difficult decision to make. However, I decided to give it a try today. Figured maybe the key is to not look beyond the character, forget the actor behind it and just enjoy the series.

And I guess that was the way to do it.

No one really thinks that two boys with different backgrounds would be just as broken inside as with our leads here—one who grew up being battered taking the blows of his deadbeat father, and one who suffers in silence with his parents not being present and always demand the best from him. All it took was a chance encounter and the rest was the whole series. I think this is the first time in a while that I cried at an episode. I don't know why but Episode 7 made me feel the helplessness and all of the thoughts that were racing in Hirukawa's mind. I'm glad he had the courage to step away from all of the pain and chose to continue with his life, with his promise that he will live a good one.

So he did. I love the choice of emotions when they met again. It was so natural how they didn't know what to say or do at that moment. I'm glad they had a second chance at the love they both deserved. And yes, hopefully the law WILL change.
