Second Chances
Warning: Time travel trope
When I began this series, I didn't realize that it involved time-travel. I try to shy away from those. I just don't enjoy them. But once I started, I had to see the series to completion.
This drama is about Shion, a 29 year old female, who never got over her HS first love and his rejection when she confessed to him. She never gets over her obsession, but is also so traumatized by his words that it shaped her life. Luckily she gets a second chance.
I was in cringe mode until the school camping trip, which was actually adorable. At episode 8 (of 10) I finally was able to say that I was truly enjoying the show. That being said, I absolutely loved the friendship between Shion and Mitsuki throughout the entire series. Mitsuki is the friend that everybody needs, and Souma finally becomes the crush worth waiting for. And Shion finding her confidence and realizing that within her struggles lies her self-worth is a lesson we should all learn.
This drama has a hard-won happy ending, so there’s that to look forward to. I really had to question whether I wanted to go on watching this by episode 3, but I’m glad I made it through. And there are parts that I wouldn’t mind watching again. There is even one part when you first see Kaoru that is actually a foreshadowing, but due to the nature of time-travel, you may or may not actually consider this part as being resolved. I do not, however, consider it a plot-hole.
I would consider this a good story for those who don’t have problems with cringe or second-hand embarrassment. I appreciate the fact that the story addressed problems with traveling backwards and the consequences of changing the past. Individually, I loved all the characters....even the gardener. LOL. The acting was really good by all cast members. I was glad that the story moved on without (as the title may suggest) any beauty pageants or things of that nature.
I regretted starting this program, but I don’t regret finishing it.
The moral of the story is: Be careful what you say. You will never know what scars you may inflict with your words.
