Extremely realistic & enjoyable BL

After reading some of the reviews that did not give high marks, I was kind of surprised how truly enjoyable & great this drama turned out to be. This series was more than just fantastic, it was so realistic and dealt with real life cause & effect after what happened to these two characters, Kazuma and Ren years earlier. It showed how mental scars from traumatic events sometimes don't heal with time, but rather worsen if not addressed, and cause so many other things to fall out of place.
When we eventually find out what happened after Kazuma goes to the hospital, you can understand why it was such a heart wrenching ten years for both of them.
Yuki Sakurai & Aloha Takamatsu and so perfectly matched up, you can almost feel the chemistry coming off of them onto the screen. Their performances are extraordinary with emotion, giving us extremely powerful scenes, not to mention the pairing of the younger versions of them also doing an exceptional job in showing us their past relationship and how things transpired a decade earlier.
Great acting & great writing!
As they tell each other in the last scene of the series " You're my everything, you're my life, you're my Tokyo in April"
They leave no doubt that they will now both enjoy a happy life together!
