A Queer Love Story with slice of life
This show is pleasant, heart-warming with a bit of odd thing. Except the part (step sisters falling in love), everything was perfect.
First, I will talk about the acting. There was no doubt about authentic performance of the actors making the scenes natural like slice of life. Beside the two main characters, I loved Nao's playfulness, caring for Sayuri and slightly awkward toward unpleasant moments. You can see those emotions through his eyes and body language. Sayuri and Yui parents were lovable. Even if they separated their children for some time, they just did the parents job. The separation was needed to think about the situation deeply for every members. Our human brains need time to process things that are outside of their thinking. What matters most, at the end, they understood their children's happiness and well-being.
Though at the first, it just felt odd watching Yui's action, kissing on the lips of Sayuri out of the blue, even though they had known each other not so long. But this odd feeling vanished when Sayuri reciprocated the romantic love that Yui felt toward her. As expected, I was giggling, blushing so hard watching their romantic moments. Not forgetting the fact that this drama was made in the last decade where lgbtq representations were rare. In that decade creating this story needed lot of courage and it was indeed praiseworthy.
Overall, as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I thoroughly enjoyed it, I did not blink once.
