I do like this but i feel like i missed out on a great plot if the mirror didn't happen. I also miss his white hair and hate his military helmet... made him look like a child ๐
About the lantern, when the FL gave the message to the ML, and then at the episode where the ML mom died and ML…
She wanted him to repair his relationship with his dad-he decided not to leading to him not knowing his mom was sick, beating, and friends dead. At the time other task clouded his point of view because she made a point of saying her mom was dead and she wished she had more time.
You know... I thought... they do this to girls all the time high-school girl with adult man.....so I'll try it.....But this bothers me more because its so sexual in the first episode. She's grooming him too. I'm ok with a gap story... but let's not have it be high-school! Its not even his last year... he's got lots of desk time still. Anyway.... I decided to drop this.
I liked how each episode started out from a different character, so you learned about the relationships that way instead of slow and rushed at the end in the OG. For me this is completely different than the OG, not in a better way. They did bring together japanese things I'd expect from a college show- group outing with bbq ect. But none of them showed any tiny part of being an artist. Japan is really know for their artist styles and I'd expect college to really pop with self-expression. I really Hate how the ML is now a teacher, just continuing her red flag pattern. He is less of a Red flag in this, just empty. The OG had more of a f-boy feel and the spark of interest is missing. But I do think this show stands on its own and didn't feel rushed being much shorter in time as well as episodes. They really ended plots quickly but smashing xD
I've read comments of people who didn't like the pairing nor they didn't feel "their love". Is that because the…
For me... he was too motherly... theres also a 20yr gap. Wanting to take care of someone and being a couple is completly different. I thought he would become the 3rd grandparent tbh lol
