Giving the nature of this drama I wished for a stronger ending. Mayu believing the phone call at the end seems unfitting of her character. They decided to adhere to the same ending Mayu read when she was young instead of Mayu's version. I feel like that took away from the revenge.
That was something... The least you can do if you have 0 budget is to look up a Youtube tutorial on how to color grade a video. That is the bare minimum no matter what!
Man do I love abandoned hospital settings. The grainy dvd horror media from the 2000's are always a joy. It may have its issues but if you are even into horror then go for it for sure. You will like the atmosphere.
I was expecting more of it. Found it boring, focuses too much on studying. It's a slice of life/school drama, barely had any comedy or romance. Sure you have the obvious message about dreams and passions but it's too sugary coated to take it for a face value. Last two episodes really brought it down.
It cuts so many corners despite having the time to show it. It would have been a better fit for a 150 minutes movie with its current state. You had 7 episodes and they were barely utilized to tell what could have been a coherent story. There was a major tone shift for the last two episodes that came out of nowhere just for the sake of concluding the story.
This is the most generic rom-com Jdrama I've seen so far. As if it was generated by a bot. FL lead reminds me of Jung Ryeo Won especially with her lips.
I really wanted to like it but it suffers from big glaring issues. I would love to see a remake of this drama from Netflix with widescreen cinemascope, rich psychedelic color palette, wide pan shots and a dash of spiciness.
Undoubtedly Usami stole the show! Turns out to be better than expected but it faces some shortcomings. The obvious thing I noticed is how loud and distracting the background music most of the time. Two characters having a conversation and I could only hear the background music getting louder and more intense by the second. I see complains about rushed ending/lack of chemistry, both are somewhat true because the leads relationship kick-started too late in the series. Which is fine because the main focus of the series was the FL journey not their relationship. I would actually be okay if they had her not ending up with anyone. I found that the leads 'decision' by the end was completely irrational and it contradicts with what the drama built up so far.
Zero chemistry between leads, it relies on the alleged memory gap to tell that they once loved each other but it barely shows any (the brief flashbacks don't help either). Messy love square full of bs. None of which are interesting characters. The whole amnesia play wasn't that good.
I hate how they constantly interrupt an event/dialogue by having someone walking in. This cheap tasteless trick does nothing more than elevating my frustration, amateur trick to prolong a series. Write better! This weird pentagon love relationships completely useless to the story. On top of that, you get a handful of fast and short snippets of other couples that bare no weight to the story or whatsoever. This doesn't allow you to get invested in any of the cast. The obsessive nature of the ML leads to a forced manufactured chemistry between them. Their feelings didn't develop in a meaningful way, hence the romance between them didn't feel impactful.
Promising premise for a comedic setting but fails to deliver a worthy experience.
Once they lay out the basic elements of the story it gets really boring and you lose any interest you had. Bland generic characters playing office, maybe FL was okay but non of the rest. It didn't have any room for romance yet it tried to incorporate that and of course it doesn't deliver on that, it just makes it weird especially the end of ep9.
Another proof that anime-esque works can't be carbon copied into a live action work. It lacks any worthy substance, this is the equivalence of a Dharmann video.
