You won't have a chance to do a fangirling thing to Yamapi or Masataka or Asuka or whoever your idol is. You'll be absorbed into the whole story in a level you don't care anymore who's the actor.

"When a person gains something, they also lose something."
Sakuto INDEED gain an intellectual he wished for ever, but he INDEED lose the important thing for human (and what I love about him), purity and kindness.

"People in love will sometimes blindly devote themselves to something."
I can't agree with Haruka's action which keeping Sakuto for herself, even draw him from his friends. She also lock away his kindness so that he won't (at the beginning) help one of his friend.

"Friends are equal."
What is equal? Same level of intellectual? Wealth? No. I can't agree with this statement made by Yanagawa. But I really glad that in the end he and Hiyama declare themselves as an equal friends of Sakuto.

Such a great, shining, shimmering, splendid dorama. A little bit heavy and complicated, but in the end you'll be heart-warmed and you don't even realize you have a teary eyes.
