Yup. The writers were making fun of us the entire time. Last time I felt a show was trolling me was when I watched Pretty Little Liars: this is A. no this one is A, wait, there is another A, there are small As and then the big reveal, this one is the true A. At some point everyone was A but no one was A. Lol

Wow, I am surprised at how a drama with such low morals has people saying it is really good. She has a fiancée and he is MARRIED, love that starts in such a way is not real love, it is attraction, passion, call it whatever you want, but it is not love. Recently japanese dramas keep showing cheating and adultery as completely normal when that is not the case, let’s not make something ok just because a lot of people do it in real life. It is already disgusting that people do this, why make it a trend in the drama world when most of us watch dramas cause real life kinda sucks sometimes?!

Anyway, I have to be very selective with japanese dramas these days and read the comments before I decide to watch because they keep making messed up plots.

When your stalker/kidnapper is the nicest person around. Only japanese could pull a drama like this one. There is a limit to how many japanese dramas I can watch in a row before I start feeling frustrated. This one helped me get there sooner. Don’t get me wrong, I liked how it was different and see how both main characters changed, but then the ending came.

About the ending, I kind of expected it but it could have been avoided if police did their job properly. When a child goes missing you first have a proper look at their direct family or household, and you don’t just ignore your suspicions because you only care about what the law says and are not able to see behind the appearances. We could have gotten a completely different ending. Sigh

Keeping things short can be good for the storyline, but if you make it too short then there is not enough time to explore the story. That is what I believe happened with this drama. With only 4 episodes of around 20 minutes each, it was shorter than your average movie and because of that the story suffered immensely.

There is not much to the story and you know very little about the main characters. It had some potential but it just wasn’t long enough to live to that potential.

But I imagine other viewers might get mad at the ending since his face is never revealed to us. The actor playing him is revealed in the chast, it’s Nagai Kyo, but the voice, which is what made her fall in love with him, is someone else’s so in the end we can’t match Matsubara’s face to either of these actors. I will just remember him with the paper bag on his face and let my imagination decide what his face looks like. XD

This was cute. I read the manga some years ago and liked it too. In the manga you could not hear his voice tho, so the drama made it easier to understand how and why she fell in love with him. I did not mind it that much if I could see his face or not because even if the second male lead was handsome and cute in his own way, for me and for the female lead the paper bag boy was fine just the way he was.

I watched the drama a while ago and really liked the beginning but then felt bored later and skipped around a lot. The movie was a little better (maybe because it was shorter) and although not great or anything, it gave us a nice ending to the story. If you liked the drama, you will probably like the movie too.

I was prepared for it, or at least I thought so, but I still wished things to go in a different direction.

You’re welcome! :)

I am definitely not going to watch this but I just had to say LOL because of that one person that gave this a rating of 10. Definitely a troll.

Ok, então fica combinado. Até ao fim do mês devo acabar de ver e depois digo-te o que achei.

Eu pessoalmente estou a gostar mas estou desconfiada que nos vão dar um open ending porque o mangá ainda tem novos volumes a serem publicados. Eu também não preciso de uma conclusão perfeita, desde que deixem bem claro qual dos male leads é o end game (se bem que no fundo eu já sei).

O 3-nen A-gumi: Ima kara Mina-san wa, Hitojichi desu ignorei originalmente por não ter romance, mas se for interessante talvez dê uma oportunidade. Quando terminares de ver diz-me o que achaste, tá bem? ;)

I checked yesterday and kissasian uploaded eps 15-17. Not sure if it is from the same subber or not but they should have proper subs. Haven’t watched them yet, waiting for the rest of the episodes so I can binge-watch it. :)

Idk if these are still working but at the time I watched it this way:

Thank you. Will you leave a comment here when you are done?

I feel so dumb now because I watched the drama, which is kind of a prequel to this movie, and was excited to watch the movie to see Towa finally getting his chance at love since only the others did in the drama....then I realized that even tho this aired last year, the DVD has not come out yet, so there are no subs. RIP

If it only has 4 episodes like the details here say, then it is all subbed now.

Really? Thank you for letting me know that. Do you know who originally subbed those episodes? I always try to watch them at the source as a way to support the people who do the subs.

They tried and I can’t say the movie is bad cause it isn’t but a 2h movie cannot do this story justice. As someone who has watched the anime more than once, I could not feel the emotions of the characters as much as I did in the anime since it all looked rushed. I do have to say tho that the actor playing Yuu did a pretty good job at portraying his emotions, especially near the end of the movie, I was actually quite surprised at how good his acting was. The actress playing Miki was not bad but she did not stand out either.

So, if you have never watched the anime, you will probably think this is a pretty good movie or just think it is not your kind of movie. If you have watched the anime, the expectations will be higher and you probably won’t be able to enjoy it as much as everyone else.
