This drama isn't flawless, but it was amazing to me on a personal level, for things I am going through in my life right now, and on a different level. Please stick with me while I go on a tangent. I promise it is very related. I have been watching Japanese Dramas the longest out of all the dramas I have been watching. (11 years now? No...Yes, Oh MY God, 11 years...I'm getting old, holy crap.) When I first started watching them, no one watched Korean Dramas. I mean, some people did, don't get me wrong, but Japanese Dramas were where it was at. The early, mid-2000's were the Japanese Drama hey day. And then...not so much. I can't honestly say what happened. Perhaps they were simply steam rolled by the tank that was Hallyu. Perhaps they hadn't changed in quality at all and this whole thing is entirely in my own head. But in my head, it seemed like Japan got bored. They just didn't want to any more. They didn't want to long heart felt speeches, almost cringe-y except for the complete earnestness. They didn't want the romance, the relationships. Rom com after rom com tanked until they pretty much stopped making them. Except for a few notable exceptions, everything was work place dramas and police procedurals and even if the mind was there, the heart wasn't. Basically, it was boring. But this show, and the more and more that are coming out like it (9 to 5, A girl & Three Sweethearts, the plethora of manga based shows) seems to me like Japan putting its embarrassing heart back into it. This show made me feel something with out being completely ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't super realistic, but it was vulnerable in a way Japanese Dramas haven't been in a long time. Japan hasn't got it's groove back, but it's shaking, and I'm excited. I feel like Japan entered a Drama dialectic and now we're approaching it's synthesis. Okay, now I'm definitely over thinking this. Point is, perhaps it isn't everyone's cup of tea. Like most Japanese shows there is zero, absolutely zero, subtly. The dialogue is fast and if you aren't into the dialogue, you just aren't going to be into the show, which is fair. There isn't a ton else going on here. But, if you're like me and you were into the dialogue, you can feel it's heart. And that's it. That's the whole shebang, it was honest and I could feel it's heart and loved it for it. The feels man. That's why we're all here in the first place, no?
