This drama initially raised my concerns due to the red flag male mc, but its exceptional execution won me over. The director and writer skillfully focused on human connection over romance, tempering sensuality. Each character received proper portion, showcasing their own "nevertheless".Despite the limited episodes, the storytelling effectively explored complexities. Ryusei Yokohama's outstanding performance evoked sympathy & frustration, but also made us understand why Miu is so attached to him. Although the ending was a little too happy for me, the 'okaeri' and 'tadaima' really gave poignant conclusion.
