Perhaps because of the length of the show, I was able to enjoy it more than if it had been a full length drama. It got all of the important elements of their relationship without feeling drawn out and repeatedly hitting you over the head with how sad you should be for the main character.
I was expecting a heart-wrenching drama, but what I received instead was a somehow lighthearted romantic comedy. This isn't to say that some elements weren't bittersweet, but that overall I enjoyed this as more of a cute little jaunt with two pleasant characters.
The actors worked well together and the plot had just enough humanity to pull it together. It's nothing to gush about, but I feel it's worth the watch.
