I think out of all the Japanese dramas I have watched over the years, which isn't many (maybe a hand full), I really liked the simplicity of it even though it was emotional. So I wanted to keep this review short and sweet.

I enjoyed most characters, Akari being the only one that I couldn't get on board with, but I enjoyed how every character had something that they were struggling with. Aki being a lack of self love and respect, Tomo not knowing how to decipher his feelings as well as putting himself in other's shoes, Taichi having "mommy issues," and Akari...I couldn't figure out, but maybe it had something to do with being the exact opposite of Aki with thinking she was better than everyone else.

Even though the drama was simple, yet emotionally confusing, Aki's feelings were relate-able. My heart hurt every time she didn't know Tomo's feelings or every time she thought she finally broke through and was finally happy, it turned out to be the opposite. I did enjoy how everything was from her point of view, so we got to witness what goes on in the mind of a girl in her mid 20's, trying to figure out what love means to her in reference to self love and the love she feels like she deserves. You know, what every girl goes through at some point in her life.

There were some/ a lot of parts where I wanted to slap her because she was acting extremely wild because of her lack of self love, but everyone has that cringy past, so I buckled up for the ride. Overall, I enjoyed the relationships she built with her shared-housemates. It was a journey they all took together, and even though their issues might not be 100% fixed, they realized that there were parts of their lives they wanted to change and they are taking the first step.
