Subtlety in Storytelling Is Underrated

This may seem like a simple story on the surface but it actually has a bit of emotional complexity to it. Rather than being over-the-top, many of its cute and humorous incidents have a sort of gentleness about them. My fondness for the first couple increased as their thoughts and fears were gradually expressed over time. Sometimes it was done through internal dialogue which isn't a method that always works, but in this case, I think it proved effective. During certain moments, I became extremely moved or would burst into tears unexpectedly. Except for one episode's lack of momentum, the only other drawback was the second couple. Their arc was too heavy-handed and imbalanced which became tiresome and made its characters nearly unlikable. As a result, I ended up skimming through those parts. This understated tale of loss and healing has its flaws but is successful at building upon layers of foreshadowing and emotion.
