came for the 90s japan aesthetic in 2021, could not finish it at first because it was so hard to find anywhere. then a few months ago netflix finally put this in their library and i finally got to watch this show from front to back. i absolutely love old jdramas this literally feels like a period piece in and of itself. the opening song is also so good and the piano pieces in the show really serve their purpose. most importantly, this show taught me to view low points in life as simply a long vacation, which is a very good perspective. what i don't like is how it took them forever to get together and the unnecessary subplots; i totally had to force myself to watch on 1.5x speed for the last few episodes but the ending is so well deserved for the main characters and that, yes, their long vacation has finally come to an end as soon as newer opportunities opened up for the both of them.
