Episode 5, when I found out about his Akira brother’s friend, really made me like the series a lot less because of how he’s portrayed and continues to be portrayed even up through episode 7, as if everything is fine. It just really frustrates me.
The series is overall okay, the pain is justified, everything is presented nicely, and it has a realistic side, but that part felt less realistic to me. I would have expected at least Kanata to get angry about it or even confront him to his face, but nothing happened about it.
If it weren’t a realistic series, I think I would have been more forgiving about it, but if you’re already going for realism, then be realistic in those aspects too. It’s a shame, because overall it’s a very nice series.
It keeps getting better. It’s a bit hard to believe Fukami is a nerd because he really doesn’t look like one, he’s so cute. In the next episode—wow, wow—I can’t wait. It’s a shame the episodes are so short.
The series is very well edited in my opinion and kept me engaged until the end, but it was also very frustrating. The main actor came across as creepy to me in this role. Since I’ve seen him in another role, I know he’s not actually creepy and can be very charming, but he probably isn’t skilled in this type of role, which made his smile and delivery feel forced and unsettling. Still, because the production quality was so strong, it somehow worked on screen.
The actress was also very irritating, but that was partly because her character was written that way. The character was understandable, but maybe because her lack of authenticity was so clear—especially in how infatuated she was with him—it became very bothersome. I kept waiting for some kind of emotional outburst or something more real from her, but when it finally came in the last episode, it felt very weak. She realized he wasn’t right for her, but there was no real depth to that realization. The audience wasn’t taken through what was going on in her mind. She ended up feeling like a very flat character with no depth.
It’s a bit disappointing because the series was well produced overall, but the final result wasn’t that great. Still, it wouldn’t be fair to call it bad.
Dropped. There isn’t much of a plot; it feels slow and not very engaging. The characters don’t feel fully developed, and the story lacks depth. The lead actor doesn’t quite convey the role in a convincing way.
Dementia is the cruelest disease there can be, and it is completely incompatible with romance—if anything, the exact opposite. It causes unimaginable suffering for the person facing the patient.
But this is a Japanese book whose purpose is to present the idea that “everything fades and passes” (it’s clear why the Japanese are so persistently preoccupied with this kind of idea). It was remade into a Korean film version, But one thing is certain—it’s very, very sad.
I’m usually good at recognizing actors’ faces, but in this case there’s too much similarity between the two main actors (the high school versions). And the two actors playing the adult characters have no chemistry at all. On top of that, the series turned out to be a disappointment. The first episode started off nicely, and then it suddenly deteriorated into boring fantasy. I feel like I’m watching a bad show from the 80s—the same style. Too bad.
I watched the episode again, and I got even more angry at the private tutor. Not only did he cruelly exploit a vulnerable teenager for his own needs, he also told him not to tell anyone to cover up what he did. On top of that, he doesn’t even love him—if he had genuine romantic feelings for the boy, it might somehow have been more forgivable, but here he committed a triple wrong. It’s truly despicable.
What frustrates me even more is that the teenager justifies him. During that entire period when he was struggling, he kept being exploited instead of receiving help. And not only that—he continued to feel guilty. He added even more guilt on top of everything. There are probably quite a few people like this, but it’s really infuriating.
Gaslighting as a way of “keeping balance” sure is a new way of thinking of predatory behavior 🤮
I watched it again, and I even think he’s more of a scumbag than I thought the first time, because he also told him not to tell anyone about it-just to protect himself.
Why does Sailom's therapist treat him like a 5-year-old?
Because that’s how it is in these thai shows—the way the script trivializes things is unbelievable. It just makes me feel bad and regret watching it at all. They take such a serious subject and turn it into a joke; it’s simply disgraceful.
I’m only watching this series because of Tee, and I’m so sorry he had to take a role in such a terrible series—the way they treat his character trauma, even in the script, makes me sick. How much can you keep trivializing things… it’s just unbelievable.
