(I watched this way back so please bear with my poor memory lol) First of all, I don't really like these kinds of shows that are very heavy and frustrating to watch but this show was just astonishing. Each of the characters are so messed up and they all had their own problems to deal with. The series showed us how one-sided love can affect a person and it showed us how people deal with their first love. For the actors, I really loved them their chemistry was amazing too, too amazing that my heart aches when seeing them in paired up with other actors, there was not much awkwardness between them despite the sexual scenes and age gap. The characters are really well-written too, people dislike this show because of how messed up it is but that's the point of the show, messy relationships and stories from each of the characters.

I have a hate-love relationship with the ending lmao, I was very disappointed but at the same time relieved because they gave us a very realistic ending. That didn't stop me from reading the alternative ending tho, I spent hours google hunting the alternative ending manga. Anyways, overall the show is an 8 for me I would've gave it more higher but because of how it stressed me out so much 8 is a good number.
