With a very minimalist approach to storytelling, where two people that met by chance and fall in love with each other (at quite a high pace), delivers a somewhat heartwarming and realistic "slice of life" J-Drama. And with a short length of of 6 episode (of ~20 min each), it is easy to get into.

Still, it has a rather unexpected and strange twist that I'm not entirely sure I appreciated (and I've watched Summer Snow and enjoyed it!). I think I would have been fine with the expected outcome. But the actors are decent enough to portray a realistic relationship (one is much much better than the other), and the mundane and ordinary interactions are its best feature. Having duels, eating together and making dumb stuff up.

It's also hard to know what to take away from it.. as the message isn't quite clear. The sound does help the mood a lot.. and the last episode wasn't as satisfying as one would hope due to the chosen structure and script.
