This show shocked me. It took me a lot of places emotionally. I agree that many of the subplots were curious, but maybe they were reflective of the writer's life experiences. Nothing was shallow but rather curious in choice.

Overall, I find myself really liking Taishin and Takara as stand-alone people. I rarely feel this in a BL show, but if I knew either in real life, I find I would quite like both of them. They both in my opinion are level-headed. Taishin can seem chaotic at times, but I feel he deeply considers his every action and when he does something, he means it. Same with Takara, minus the chaotic part lol. They don't act in vain, and I appreciate their ability to be honest with themselves. They make a lovely couple and suit each other well.

I think this was certainly an interesting and enjoyable watch. The episodes one week at a time.. some things may be frustrating. But this show as a package.. yes, I recommend this a lot.
