Japanese filmmakers always try to appeal to as many target audiences as possible, but unfortunately, over time, this approach starts to falter and stop working. Perhaps it's also the age when it's no longer suitable. One might say it's a film for teens with many scenes that are not at all suitable for them either. The series begins with very amusing scenes, but on the other hand, it is very violent and provocative. It can't be said that this series is bad, rather, it's suitable for a niche young audience
The lead actor is amazing. I've watched several of his series, and he always surprises with truly high acting abilities and he is also very attractive. However, that did not help the series, which is poorly written, very slow, uninspired, and apparently has a very low, almost student-level budget. The minutes drag on and there is no interesting or compelling character to the female lead.
Everything went backwards in this series... Instead of starting from the past, they started from the end. It had cute moments until about episode 5, and from episode 6 it started to become a typical melodrama where one goes abroad for a few years. It's so standard that it's usually skipped to the end, with the couple reuniting after a long wait, but suddenly we find out that the end is the beginning. The couple isn't interesting enough for us to care about their past at this point. The male character became so boring and different from how he was initially that it wasn't interesting enough to know what he went through a few years ago when his heart was broken.
I've seen a lot of bad dramas, or ones that I didn't like regardless of whether they were well rated or not, but…
You were right about part of it (this one is one of the worst ) , just a correction: he is one of the worst J actors and they have no chemistry at all. Both of them are really unwatchable.
