If not for Sugisaki Hana and Wakaba Ryuya, I would not have finished this. The story leads you into little snippets about the FL and her life from the various people she interacted with, but it doesn't quite help you piece together the person she is or her reason behind the decisions she made, leaving you more confused than ever. I did not get the message of the story either. Great acting from our leads and the cast as expected, but subpar screenplay and writing.
Some of my favourite sibling relationships from Asian dramas-
'Momo Love' from Taiwan https://kisskh.at/272-momo-love The whole drama centers around the relationship between the brothers and their sister, who they dote on and protect. They can be overprotective and overbearing at times, but they're one big force against anyone who tries to hurt their sister. It's a comedy with a lot of heart.
'Summer Snow' from Japan https://kisskh.at/568-summer-snow The ML took care of his siblings since he was a young boy. He loves them, protects them and constantly stands by their side. The romance between the leads was beautiful too, and the FL too adored the ML's siblings like her own.
'The Rose' from Taiwan https://kisskh.at/1846-the-rose Siblings from different fathers but the same mother who live in a huge mansion together. They're not close and are almost shut-ins but there's a maturity and something very real in the way they interact (both fight and support each other).
'Kono Yo No Hate' from Japan https://kisskh.at/5709-kono-yo-no-hate While it's not primarily a sibling story, but both sisters are strong badass women who are fiercely protective of each other, and would do anything for the other. One sister is blind, and the other is a hostess. Do note that this is an extremely raw, and dark drama.
'Tenno No Ryoriban' from Japan https://kisskh.at/12252-tenno-no-ryoriban The brother constantly supported the ML in helping him achieve his dreams and become the Emperor's chef. They don't have a lot of scenes, but the few they have are so beautiful. Even when they're not in a frame together, you know they're thinking of each other and want to do their best for each other.
There are a few more.. but these are the ones at the top of my head.
Thank you for your reply! Really sorry for spamming you with my comments. I need a spoiler - when do they finally start dating / have their first kiss?
