Positive:
I like dramas like these, even though stories featuring blind characters have been told so many times before. First, I think the actors are pretty good, and the story was quite serious and not childish. That’s exactly how it should be with such a serious topic. The drama showed just how difficult it is for everyone involved to cope with this situation. I really had to fight back a few tears at some points. Another thing I liked was that the characters in Japanese dramas look like ordinary people – they aren’t dressed like models. It makes them more relatable.

Negative: It bothered me that the blind character couldn’t do many things for themselves and came across as really clumsy. I didn’t like that. Secondly, the romantic relationship developed far too quickly for my liking. In some places, the drama moved too fast, whilst in others it felt rather lengthy. I also didn’t like the fact that memory loss was brought up yet again. Yes, the story is sad, but throwing in clichés like that was simply unnecessary. It just felt very stereotypical.

Overall, I can still say that I enjoyed the story.
