vibes and feels: 100%, plot not so much

the japanese remake of the famous korean series. i haven't watched the Korean one but i know most of the plot and expected many of the things that happened in this series.
I could not get what they were trying to communicate at some serious moments. It could be the language barrier or the formal style that they speak but i felt disconnected from what they were trying to convey.
ren, out male lead was too much of a mysterious broody guy for most of the show. we couldn't get anything out from him. we do get his vulnerable side and the reasoning for why he is so closed off but that just felt like the focus shifted from ren-mui to ren-chiaki
our female lead mui was too timid and kinda got pushed around easily. I hate the falling at first sight love so her doing exactly that after being heartbroken was off putting.
the side couples has better development and endings. saki and megu are cuties
the aesthetics and vibes were a 100% perfect. the photos in the middle, the art, the music playing behind were all so good
