Loved every single episode!

So finally the last episode came out! I won't lie I was kind of on the fence about watching it while the other episodes weren't out. I won't be doing that again because waiting for the next episode was excruciatingly painful.

Akira and Yuki...my next best couple. The first episode got me hooked, I liked how weird and open they were when they first met. Although it's fast paced the acting wasn't. We got to feel the emotions they felt, nothing was rushed or squished together.

My favorite character was Yuki for sure, such a pure heart. I can't begin to tell you the amount of times I wanted to jump into my laptop and give him a hug. I just wanted to protect him; so naturally I was angry when Akira broke up with him. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was how quickly they got back together(ironically I felt it was rushed). I wanted more, I wanted anger, more tears, I wanted Akira to work harder in gaining Yuki's trust again. It's not like they broke up for a month and feelings were still fresh, rather it was years.

What I also loved was: even though it was fast paced the topic on self acceptance kept popping up and was resolved in a 'beautiful' manner. Akira finally realizing that living according to the book or peoples expectations wasn't going to make him truly happy. Once he put those feelings aside and accepted himself was one of my highlights. Same as Yuki coming out to his mom (whom by the way deserves trophy for best mom ever).

The drama was great, loved it and would rewatch it a million times more. I just wish the last episode was a bit longer so we could bask in their happy ending a bit more, 30 seconds was not enough for me. They don't have to show us their entire timeline like in the book but a bit more happy ending would have fluffed up my world.

I would recommend this show for sure.
