*outline*
I only realized in the last episode of the drama's cycle of: mourning, sex, love, mourning, sex, love. These themes - mourning, sex and love - are the three most common that come out throughout the whole drama. This tells you just how unique the story line is. Although the love between Kido and Kijima is simple, their story is not. And that's probably one of the things I kept watching this for. I wanted to see them become something.


*analysis*
STORY : Well, for starters, I have to mention that the story was indeed a roller coaster. It felt like we were playing a game of 7 minutes in heaven. They be happy, open and feel free together behind closed doors, but not so much when they came out to the real world. It took me a while to form this analogy but it just fits. In simple words - yes, they over complicate their very simple feelings. Well, one of them does. The other doesn't. The cliche leads actors; one wants to be open and show the world who they love proudly, and the other one doesn't. It's a similar concept, but not the exact case for this story. Despite the whole on and off between them, I've gotta say the last episode was the best episode out of them all. After the first 9 mins, my heart was beating so loud I could hear it through my ears. And, though some might say there's a sad ending, I don't think that's the case. I actually liked the ending because I genuinely believe everyone got what they deserved after all. The confessions were so good and the pacing followed a well-thought structure. There wasn't any beating around the bush and no one to play the villain. It was some sort of real life scenario.

ACTING/CAST : The cast did exceptionally well, especially the main roles and Gamoda. The drama sort of revolves around the three but if I heard this from someone else without even watching it I'd get confused so I'm telling you to definitely watch the drama if you wanna know what exactly I mean. It literally revolves around them.

MUSIC : I don't know why but I started laughing at some of the music that came up. I killed the mood of the scenes myself to be honest. I'm the perpetrator, forgive me lmao. Otherwise, the music was well composed and suited the drama perfectly. I mean, that's always the case in Japanese dramas, movies, and anime anyways. But it had to be said, right?

REWATCH VALUE : I personally don't see myself rewatching this. In fact, I'm probably done with this now that my review's finished and I'm done writing it out.
