Have you watched Remolove? It's a romcom so the plot is nothing like this drama, but the ML shares some similarities with Keiichi.

It's kinda sad when jdramas are known to be cheesy, the acting is stiff, the cinematography is dull etc when they don't even try to watch this kind of dramas. It can't be helped though, since japan gatekeeps their contents, but I hope people aren't that quick to judge.
As an avid dramas watcher, I've seen so many beautiful dramas from other countries, but jdramas will always be my home.

sorry for my long rant

It's just too beautiful and really well written.
I know that this drama isn't meant to be dramatic but ugly crying is unavoidable. This drama tries to convey so many things without being preachy. The thing about really well made jdramas, they make me think deeper about my life, my relationship with my family and people around me, my reasons to do anything, how I behave to myself and other people etc, and this drama is no exception.
The pace maybe a little slow but it's not boring at all. All the characters especially Papa, Shizuka and Keiichi are superbly portrayed. Yoshioka Riho does a really great job as Shizuka, she speaks the sign laguange effortlessly. Yuto my boy, I always feel he's kinda underrated as an actor among other Johnny's idols when in reality he's very versatile. I hope he keeps growing as an actor.

now that you mention it, he does look like Siwan with stronger jawlines

This drama seriously exceeds my expectation. The rating here isn't that good for cdrama standard but I can say it's better than some dramas rated higher. The plot is quite engaging so I rarely skip it, the action is awesome but the highlight of this the drama is CZY's portrayal of Xiao Yu'er. One of the drawbacks is HYT's disastrous make up, I think the make up artist really did him dirty. I also found HYT's acting here left a lot to be desired, sorry.
I'd say I wouldn't mind a sequel.

OMG Ti Pat Kai

I wish there would be Season 2, the story feels unfinished even for jdramas standard. I miss Ito family already.

Kantaro-saaan

it's hilarious, I love how absurd the humor is and now I'm addicted. Damn I envy Takena Rena's legs.

If you like dramas with the same format, pls try Asa ga Kita

Legal High 2 and Koi desu. It should be a spoiler though.

Hi, I bet you're new to Jdramas, the ratings are always on the lower side here. 8,1 maybe quite bad for Kdramas, but for Jdramas it's actually pretty decent. Even some jdramas with rating 7,6-7,8 are still enjoyable to watch. And regarding the little number of watchers, the reason is that in term of popularity Kdramas >>>>>> Jdramas. The good side is the comment sections are generally less hostile

Okay, so it’s a slow burn. Now I know what to expect, thanks.

I will since I’m into darker stuff
Thanks by the way

ok, maybe after I finish my work, but is it too early to judge a 6 episode show just from the first 10 minute?

a reviewer said on twitter that it has some disturbing scenes, especially on episode 3

waiting for the review, from the trailer it seems interesting plus it has Yoo Ah In in it.

Love it, it’s cute, the dialogues flow very naturally but somehow still have depth in it. The actors also did a very great job despite some of them never had any project prior to this drama, I love how the majority of the casts are still teenagers, well except for Bando Ryota though he still has the look. Damn this show makes me miss my high school time. Btw I’m bit curious it would be like Koekoi where the important character didn’t even show his face.

Some people said that it would be available soon on netflix but sadly no one mentioned the release date. The pain of waiting is real.

yes, Koi desu is a nice surprise, like it’s not that anticipated but it turned out to be so good.
