So delightful so sweet bravo no notes
Eeeeeh so cuuuuute!! They did such a good job at adapting the manga to live action!
Acting: They brought the characters to life in every way possible. I couldn’t imagine it any other way it was so well cast and acted. Aoiki’s over-the-top manga expressions were well executed without feeling stupid in a bad way. Ida’s stoicism and subtle changes in facial expression were on point. Hashimoto was just as adorable and precious as the manga. And Akkun was just as infuriating while also being endearing enough to get away with most of his antics. So well performed, very happy to see!
Writing:
Stayed true to the original source and was smooth from beginning to end. Overall great writing.
Chemistry/Romance/Adolescent Troubles:
The chemistry was good, and while it isn’t a romance-heavy story, the romantic feelings are portrayed well in the story and the acting. Gotta highlight the portrayal of adolescent troubles experienced by everyone and obviously more specifically queer youth. The story and actors did a good job of portraying a lot of issues faced by queer youth, including dipping into the more serious issues while maintaining a realistic yet lighthearted atmosphere.
Music/SFX:
Usually I notice at least a couple of songs that take me out of the story, but unless I’m being unnecessarily nitpicky, I really can’t think of anything. Maybe the one that is repeated throughout with lyrics? Not my favorite part of dramas but unlike most dramas, it fit pretty well.
Just so happy to see this story brought to life so well. Truly a delight!!
