Dark But hopeful
Wow! Just Wow! What a brilliant and poetic drama!
Kamimura Kenshin was outstanding as the battered and bruised young man, desperate to not turn out like his aggressive and brutal father. He was persistent in his pursuit of his first love - Minase Jin (Motojima Junsei), who played the quiet, but empathetic character, coming to terms with his sexuality.
I loved the way the theme of the drama - the sea - was woven into the plot and dialogue.
I expected a sad ending, but what I got was an ending full of hope.
There was no explicit sex in this drama (cue Thai BL), nothing beyond kissing and suggestion, but it was not necessary to show the audience how deeply they felt about each other.
I am hopeful that Kenshin can get over his public 'scandal', so we can see him again in future dramas.
