Ao to Boku (2018)

Construction:
This, particularly japanese, drama is short but intense. Every episode has its emotionnal load, but it does not evolve into a melodrama with its subsequent tendancy.

Story:
The subject of the death of a friend is well tackled. The emotion varies from smile and laugh to tears smoothly. The end is great... I almost have only praises to say. The only minor flaw that I felt was that it was difficult to go to another episode. The worst could easily happen after most episodes, which made me stress too much to watch the next one. I forced myself to watch the end and I am happy of it.

Acting: The acting was overall good. But the way they express emotions may sometimes seem emotionless compared to manga-based drama. This is especially true for Inowaki Kai. But when I asked myself, how I and other people would react in the real world, it suited the characters and the overall atmosphere.

Music: Most of it is classical music well-suited to the moment. The musics were diverse for the length of the drama.

Overall: The ambiance of this drama can make you live great moments. Spare some time for it!

Ao to boku had an odd story at first.

The cinematography and the way they directed and shot the drama were interesting and made the story more intense. However, I have to admit that looking back now, the actual mystery and story were not as thrilling as they were presented them to be.

But, the dark mood that the drama created was just perfect, as they wanted to presented the characters and their feeling in a deeper more rounder way.

Finally, the ending was really good and it gave a positive note to the whole drama.

So, seven out of ten.
