Kuzu no Honkai (2017)

Frustrating but well written show

(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.

Great idea, unfortunately lost in over complication

During the first few episodes, characters and their motivation was established really well, so I was really excited going into this series. I thought we were going to dive deeper into what connects these two heartbroken teenagers in the weird relationship they have begun. Instead, just as we start to see how it starts to affect them, the author started introducing more and more characters, and there wasn't just enough time if we wanted to have a closer look at any of them. Moreover, some of them were really one dimensional and tacky like "I love having sex" guy or the "my one thing in life is being kawaii" girl. Introduction of the characters changes mood from psychological portraits, to overcomplicated plot about everyone using emotionally everyone in hard to understand and completely unmotivated way.
I felt like the way how the internal fights of characters were shown was also very cheap. There were many scenes when the main character was listening to her "evil self", that was her with red filter all over. Also, the evil speeches were mostly all the same, and if you really listened to the words most of them were basically about nothing in particular. They were there just to sound edgy and dark.
Overall, with a heavy heart, I dropped this drama after the 8th episode.

First thing first, you gotta be open-minded when you watch this.

This is not a typical romance or lovey dovey story. It's a story which may be twisted and fucked up but it may be a reality one may never know or one may never bring to light. Also, it has mature contents (not to the max of seeing someone completely naked, but has a lot of intimate scenes).

It's frustrating and pitiful-- a roller coaster of mostly heavy emotions, but I love the character development.

I'm surprised by the two leads' age when they filmed that, especially Yoshimoto Miyu. She did great!

ps. I like the ending. It gives you a sense of relief if you think about it.
pps. Even if Dori Sakurada isn't your type, you might find yourself searching for more. He isn't just an actor ;)

I didn't expect a very bold action on 1st episode. It surprised me that someone ( writer) came up with this story line. Very brave and unusual.
Plot twist at the end makes my heart broken.(*Because I always in a K-drama plot) This drama turns me to think seriously about Love and sex from Japanese point of view. It's kind of different from what I believe, but then I realized they're just high school students. And this kind of thing is happening for real somewhere.
This drama teach you to let go of something what doesn't belong to you in a worse way and also in a good way.

I like this drama because it's uncommon story. When you getting bored with k-drama love story, this drama is surely something new.
But be careful there is a lot of Mature content in each episodes.
A little bit boring in the middle but it's not that hard to finish it.

Drama is not my type too much bold scene to handle .it is drama made on high school student and rated above 18 plus then it is make for whom .

I am dropping this drama after watching
first episode even i didnt watch full episode,
i dropped it in the middle half .
i don't know what would be the story but read synopsis get a clue ..didnt watch full drama so dont know about acting of characters so no comment on acting .
That is the reason no comment on music ,rewatch value . As i think it not going to have any exciting scene or something related to secret or something suspicious story. After reading synopsis i think it is all about jeolousy and proving themselves in front of others and because of this they are losting themselves .they are trapping themselves in a marsh of unwanted desire.
