Unpopular opinion
Probably in the minority, but while a enjoyed a lot of aspects in the drama, romance isn’t one of them. I felt very uncomfortable with it so I don’t know if it’s an issue with me or the way the characters were. Basically while Kyoko and Shuji were decent people, I felt they were wrong for each other.
Kyoko managed to lead the best life she could as a person with disability, and the drama is great at showcasing how little details can have a huge effect on people’s lives. The problem is she makes her disability the most central part of her while getting upset when others centralize that aspect for her, leading her to completely disregard others’ feelings. Shuji on the other hand is an impatient and judgemental person. There’s no second chances with him, and while that part of him gets developed a bit throughout the drama, he never actually opens up to anyone, not even Kyoko. Their combination is a recipe for disaster in my opinion. I’ve seen both actors in many dramas and both are great at building chemistry so I don’t know why that didn’t reach me in this drama.
I love the dynamic in Kyoko’s family, it’s perfect. Her brother Masao is cute and caring but he does overstep at one point. I was glad his parents stood up to him when around. He does it out of care but is immature.
It felt good watching something from the 2000s, the music was particularly great (my generation’s music:D) but the writing felt lacking overall.
