to say that the male lead didn't learn anything is just admitting to not watching the show at all, mukai-kun goes from being a cringe guy who takes a smile as a confession and has no true grasp of commitment, to someone who considers the feelings of his crush first and is able to make people comfortable in his presence instead of awkward. I liked that it took time for his change and that he was never a true asshole or true saint, just some guy. sakaido-san was a little shaky of a character in my opinion until you see bits of her perspective near the end, i really liked them as platonic friends though. I didn't hait mamin, i just wish their story arc was a bit shorter, felt dragged out and convoluted tbh. overall i still liked it, 7.8ish/10.

loved arikino and koda's friendship, it was so sweet and heartwarming. the only thing is i wished the crime part of the story was a little more fleshed out, for example, we see someone in the first episode or so asking about the drugs, then a while after we see the volunteer seemingly having just killed someone, but we never really get confirmation who it was. also why did the volunteer bother arikino anyway, it seemed like it was on purpose. hoping that these loose ends are because there will be a season 2 soon! i wouldn't discount it since nagatan to aoto ichika no ryourijou is getting a season 2 next year even though its been a couple of years since its release!

first two episodes gave me so much goddamn whiplash lmfaoo...

After they find out the truth of why the parents were angry at him there aren't any more new scenes with him.

Oh also I prefer the korean title, I just noticed after finishing the drama that the title is their names in korean, it makes so much more sense than the english title.

Sangyeon was hardly a great person, but she wasn't bad either. The only pity is she realized her mistakes and realized who cared for her when it was too late. I think an overlooked thing in this drama that I personally liked is how Eunjung ultimately chose her friend over a man. Not a lot of dramas show this dynamic between women, even though Eunjung liked Sanghak back too, she decided to cleanly put an end to things - in my opinion, it showed that she respected herself while also putting her friend first. That's why Sangyeon said she could never beat Eunjung, because Eunjung is that sort of person, a person who can chose others over themselves. The drama doesn't try to make Sangyeon a good person, it plainly shows how wrong she was from the beginning to the end, but after watching her cry as a child because she thinks she's hated, how she struggles through the death of her brother and mother, and ultimately deals with the frustration of her father, it is relieving to know that at least in her final breath, she was at peace.

Yeah, I'm not sure, this didn't feel like the same Hikaru that bonked Haruka over the head repeatedly about confidence. He was always a little posessive of Haruka when it came to her makeup and stuff, but I doubt he'd get jealous over her ex just helping her out of a dangerous situation.

I love well done the tropes are here, the writers absolutely killed it

Unfortunately I have watched Lost loll, it was nice yes. Feel like it was a bit more melancholic than this but I see the similarities too. Thx for taking the time to rec tho♡

Aaaaaaa i was not aware this was happening!!!!! Oe was my fave in the og movies because of her neuroticism for traditional fashion lol, omggg im so excitedddd.

does anyone have recs to a romance/dynamic like this? (no teacher-student romances... this is an exception bc of the concept,,, usually it just gives me a major ick idc)

Ugh this better become a jdrama with above 8 star rating <.< its so good, people must be blind not to see the charm in the story. Also I always liked the idea of student-teacher dynamics but the age gap always is too icky to actually enjoy, this is such a great take on it imo

also kim min is gorgina, the hair, the dress with pants, the glare, i hope she comes up more often

watched one episode so far and this is NOT a 7.1... I have a feeling its rated low purely because it doesn't exactly have younger hot shot actors in it lol. But most of the cast is so seasoned and solid, literally everything is so good

guessing lee dahee is some crazy, because now i feel suspicious of nearly every adult without an s line lmao. also, the weird stills and looks she gave that one teacher that was moving away when he found the glasses kind of gave it away. i feel like she can see the s lines like arin's character

not all the time, but when it's necessary to show during a pov it will

Also sad there wasn't a connection between cgh and his actor in the modern world, but these are nitpicks. i love that the drama ended happily

My only wish for the ending was that nan feng was nan heng

Nami Uraraka ni, Meoto Biyori

dont mind me replying to a 2 month old comment but- everytime ichika pulled her hand away from amane and he like questioned everything for a few seconds was just peak romance idc
