First Impression Disappointing, Second Impression Heartwarming
This was set up to be a mystery about why Ayan Uncle killed himself and I fully expected the school to have played more of a role in why he did it. That's why after first watching it I was a little disappointed only in the story as everything else (Except Thua I'll get back to this later) was amazing.
However, on further reflection, this series is an excellent story about loss, coping and living in the moment. Ayan lost someone close to him by suicide so he wanted to believe that there was someone who pushed the uncle to it rather than just being his uncle who wanted to die. A lot of people who go through this kind of loss want someone to blame making Ayan as a character authentic and relatable. The only thing I would say is that maybe this should have been more prominent rather than the Akk stuff as that was manipulation and coercion from the teacher,
Getting to see Ayan x Akk's relationship develop is so cute and the actor's chemistry is so beautiful, this ties in with Ayan joining as Akk helps him grieve his uncle and gives him a reason to enjoy the present.
However, one major problem I have with this series is Thua firstly he wanted everything to come out about the curse which makes sense but there was no reason for him to out Akk being gay because that was not necessary. There is the fact that although he wants Akk to be accountable for his action with the curse, not his own as he only told the group because Ayan mentioned it otherwise he was going home and when he finally does say about owning up to his part he tells Kan who loves him to do it instead of admitting to it himself.
