“Not Everything Are Rainbows and Sunshine” — When It Rains, It Pours Review
Okay, so first off, I’m really sorry for reviewing this late 😭. I was supposed to post this back on February 21, 2025, but I just got busy. Anyway, let’s get into it.
Starting with the production — honestly, it’s really well done. The visuals are calm but beautiful, the audio is clean, and the whole mood of the series fits the kind of emotional story they’re telling. So yeah, I liked the production a lot.
Now about the story… whew. This one’s deep. It’s not your usual fast-paced, fluffy BL. It really makes you think about how people feel and how easy it is to be blind to love — especially when you’ve been holding onto someone who doesn’t really care about you anymore.
Let’s talk about Sei. I don’t think he’s a bad person at all. He’s just… stuck. Like, when you’ve been with someone for years and you’ve convinced yourself they’re your only hope, you start to block out any new love that comes your way. That’s what I felt with him — it’s sad, but real.
And that roommate? Nah. That guy is toxic 😩. He didn’t want Sei to move on, didn’t want him to be happy with anyone else. It took me until like episode 3 or 4 to really understand what was happening there. But when it clicked, it hit hard.
Then there’s Kazuaki. His situation is a whole other thing. I think deep down, he knew his girlfriend didn’t love him anymore, but he kept lying to himself. Like he was forcing it to work even when all the signs were there. And when he started falling for Sei? That felt real. It wasn’t loud or dramatic — it was soft and gradual, and that made it more emotional for me.
So overall, I’d say the story isn’t for everyone, but if you watch closely and pay attention to the quiet emotions, it really hits. I had to watch it twice to fully get it, so if it confused you at first — you're not alone 😅.
Really good series. Emotional. Quiet. But meaningful.
Still thinking about it 🌧️❤️
