i cried…a lot more than i was expecting and will most likely continue to cry especially for Yuki due to the simple fact that he is baby. loved each episode and resonated heavily with Akira’s sister’s remarks about living one’s life honestly rather than remaining overly cautious (looking at you Akira, and also myself in the mirror bc same) could use a bit more smiley Yuki and Akira moments but still love the dramatic bits that pierced my aching heart after every line. overall, a great drama to watch for a decent cry (for a person who has designated crying times, this did wonders for my emotional output this evening!) and as a hopeless romantic who loves love as much as the torturous heartache that comes with it, the softer scenes shared between the two leads warmed my heart (Yuki going out before sunrise to look for Akira’s favorite lighter; the forehead-to-forehead contact; the literal first interaction on a white line; could we get anymore affection. i will definitely read the manga that this was adapted from (as it appears to have a different ending) sooo i look forward to reading more about this couple as they take a significant amount of my tears :’) #smilethroughthepain
