ep 1 okayy now i watched a drAMA yesterday(First love, again) in which they hugged in the 2nd or 3rd ep and i felt that it was too fast paced....now in this drama(life love on the line) its only the first ep and they are already kissing yet it does not feel fast at all??? i guess the reason is that in the previous drama their feelings for each other were not actually "visible" to me as audience..even if there were alr 2 eps they did not have any chemistry...However inn this drama, one ep in and we can alr see the llove through their eyes mannnn so maybe that is why the kiss did not feel fast paced coz there was development of feelings first which was visible..

ep 2 2:45 goshhh why doesn't this feel rushed at all?? maybe coz of the same above reason 8:20 ahhhh

ep 4 15:12 shocked enough to see an Indian but was even more shocked when she started speakingn hindiii wahhhhh

*****NOW REVIEW*******
This was one of the most or probably THE most realistic drama i have watched so far. Initially i did not have much expectations since this only had 4 episodes. However ill have to admit i was surprised at how this one was delivered and it did not disappoint. The first 2 eps were very fluffy ofc since it was them when they were youthful and full of energy with not many responsibilities on their shoulders. As i mentioned earlier, Akira already kissed Yuki in the first episode. Yet, it did not feel rushed at all because they had the Chemistry, Akira had the "look of love " in eyes so it felt okay (with the other drama i watched. .well there was very less to no chemistry so even the hug felt too much)..As i said the first 2 episodes were really fluffy and i expected the series to follow the same track with a lil angst here and there but NO
Things took an unexpected turn..I did not expect them to show the characters live through their 17, 19, 20 21, 28 all these years together.I thought the story will end when they are in highschool itself but no. They went far and beyond and then, the storm arrived.. We could clearly see the change in Akira's character he had become more "serious" about life, leaving all their teenage fantasies behind...while Yuki, he was still the same kid he was when he was 17.
things were becoming serious and akira wanted to live a normal life but being gay is not normal so he broke up with Yuki and ended their 11 year long relationship, married another girl, 5 yrs or maybe 3 yrs later proceeded to break her heart as well.then looked for yuki as he realised his love for him and realised that he couldnot do this anymore...then met yuki and had his own "happily ever after"


Now as much as i hate Akira, i can totally relate to him (does that mean i hate myself...? hahaha..yes) but wait i cannot completely relate to his "wanting to live a normal life" thing. What i can relate to is "loving someone too much" yes he loved yuki too much which is one of the reasons (besides the normal life thing) why he left him.. Always being anxious, not wanting to leave their side, being affected by everything they do. I can totally relate. When you love someone too much, you are also too over the top scared of losing them too. You feel that if one day they would die or go away or whatever, you would not be able to bear that which is why Akira (probably mee too) decided to run away. Ik thats cowardly, and i am not trying to justify the cowardice..IT IS wrong ik it...your cowardice is not a reason to hurt someone ik and as i said im not justifying it..im just giving an insight as to WHY and HOW it's like that.

about the ending well, i have mixed feelings i actually did not want them to get back together but then seeing how much they love each other and how Yuki too is heartbroken to not be besides Akira, i was like okay, as long as you (yuki) are okay, im okay too.

as for the rating, its not a 10 or 9 for me but def a 8 smthin
