This series mystifies me, because I think it was filmed beautifully, but the story is like a soggy novel. I'm not really sure what the final messaging is, or what their story was supposed to invoke emotionally? I feel like the resolve between the two was flat; there was no conversation or resolve. I feel like there needed to be something more substantial to take us from the fall out of misunderstandings, to the intimate scene.

I don't also understand how Natsuo never knew that Suzuki was Hiro. Especially if Hiro was his first love? Natsuo as a whole was a flat character, who really didn't have a story outside of being with Suzuki/Hiro. We never really got to see his side of the past or understand what happened before he met Suzuki.

Also, one thing that was glaringly obvious was the way they were supposed to be cutting and styling hair, but nothing was ever really different. I guess we were just supposed to use our imaginations or something, but it took me out of the story a few times.

The takeaway: The actors were great, but the story wasn't unfortunately. This was definitely NOT the proper way to write love.
