I am looking forward to see where the show goes from here. The whole angle around her gift has been unclear to…
Not really, I hate how Grandpa cheated on his wife with an underage student (!!!) but noone except Shunsuke or the mom thinks that's weird. That and how Shunsuke's plot was not resolved are my main problems with this drama.
Kanae can 100% do better than such a jerk... And didn't she lowkey hate him in the first few episodes of this season? I hope they just become friends and that was just an encouraging hug lol
Yo, if this turns into another Beach situation, this season is gonna be lit
Despite them showing flashbacks of them when they were together, there's really not much for us to feel like we…
Kanae and Hibiki have more chemistry imo... Even though they built up Hibiki and Kanae as this great love story. Maybe bc we've never seen them interact outside of flashbacks, Hibiki x Kurumi doesn't make sense to us.
Although, behind the scenes, Marie and Ryoma seem more like best friends XD
I am a little disappointed with how Shunsuke's storyline was handled. He just came back and there was no resolution whatsoever. It still feels like no-one is taking his concerns or problems seriously at all and nothing was fixed.
A comment on another site noted how Mokomi's "power" seems analogous to neurodiversity and I kind of see merit in that argument. Her power seems to be vaguely defined, less supernatural and more grounded. This, her behaviour and mannerisms make her character seem to be autism- or some other mental disability-coded (which can be problematic); the drama can be seen as exploring how families with neurodivergent relatives cope with it. For example, Shunsuke feels ignored and uncared for, the family for all this time tried to cover up Mokomi from society and just ignored whatever she had to say (mostly the mom) and they treat her like she's made of glass.
However, all of the other troubles with the family have to less to do with Mokomi and what she is and more with their personalities (Mom is too controlling, Dad is too weak and submissive, Grandpa is a borderline predator, Shunsuke messes up his life and then blames everyone else, etc.)
I used to find Shunsuke kinda creepy bc of the anonymous hate account he created to rant about his own family, the instability he showed when he sneaked off into the van, all the screaming and the hatred towards everyone in his life. But with just one episode, I feel very sympathetic towards him.
I don't agree with how he expressed how ignored and unloved he's felt all his life, but I definitely felt so bad for Shunsuke. But he is also is kinda mean towards people - the way he was rude to Kishida and how he dates Suzune but always treats her like she's annoying.
Grandpa continues to be sus af, with Mokomi's encouragement/approval. Honestly my only problem with this drama.
I mean, there's only a 3 year difference between Mokomi and Kishida but the way Grandpa is so proud of her for dating someone younger than her is so fucking creepy considering his own history...

Honestly, this is still a good drama but there have just been a few missteps so far. I'm not really familiar with the screenwriter's other work.
Edit: this screenwriter also wrote for Shitteru Waifu? I loved that drama!
I don't think she's that upset with what happened with her brother. that plot line went nowhere
