Unrealized potential

A story about a queer woman obsessed with her straight (?) best friend that leads nowhere because it didn't go all-out with the characters, their relationships with one another and their feelings about each other's actions. The drama had all the ingredients to do a Fatal Attraction type of story, but when it reached its peak, with the character of Kyoko going fully insane about Miho, it gave up and did a quick and ineffective redemption that left me wanting more. Equally unsuccessful was the relationship between Miho and Shintani, I can see the full picture of Miho consistently making concessions to the different ways Kyoko and Shintani caused her harm, but the drama never truly dealt with that characteristic, it just wrapped everything with a bow to give the story a happy ending that didn't make sense. For me there was no happy ending, there was a woman who ended up stuck in an unfavorable situation with a psychotic friend and a man who proved to be weak and uncaring.
