This is yet another series that reminds me why I love Japanese dramas so much cause their stories are always morally complex and emotionally rich. Jack Frost, the mythical figure known for bringing winter with his icy touch, perfectly mirrors the emotional winter the characters are going through.
Ritsu puts work above everything else, and Fumiya ends up feeling like he’s always coming second. It’s not that they don’t love each other, they just don’t know how to communicate. The whole series revolves around the idea of starting over, wiping the slate clean, and trying again from zero.
At one point, Ritsu says it feels strange to pretend the relationship never happened, because then he wouldn’t be able to reflect on it and that hits the nail on the head. Their story is messy, but both Ritsu and Fumiya made mistakes. If they want a future together, they have to face those mistakes and grow from them.
