masterpiece
It is beyond me, how they managed to make this story with only 15 minutes episodes? I guess this is prime example of how well a story can work even with such a limited runtime if the writing and directing is good. Lots of series with over 10 episodes and 45 minutes don't show the quality and depth this one managed to deliver.
We have two high school friends, who had to part ways as the mc's family moved out of town right after his graduation. As a hopeless, last ditch effort the mc uses their last talk with his best friend to tell him that he likes him. The best friend misunderstands at first, and says that he likes him too so mc clarifies that he means romantically and impulsively kisses him. Seeing his friend's bewildered reaction he apologizes and runs away - quite literally as afterwards the friend is unable to reach him ever again.
After, I believe it was seven? years, due to pure random luck the mc runs into him again at a job interview. MC is obviously shaken by the most awkward reunion and even worse, his old friends seems to pick on him at work as he keeps pestering him. Except, when he confronts him about it, the friend confesses his feelings to him and tells him that he actually tried looking for him all these years..
I liked that the characters' reactions were believable and they talked out their past grievences and actively discussed what they want from each other. At the end of every episode there are cute segment of the supposed game they are working on together - but it is essentially flashbacks about the mc and his friend from when they were in school together. These snippets reveal a lot about their relationship in school and makes you understand why they liked each other and why mc had some hopes that their feelings might be mutual. I really loved the actors chemistry and that consent was clear all along. The directors clearly did a really great job and their kisses were phenomenal.
