Drama Digest

This drama mainly concentrates on five teenage girls Niina Sugawara, Rika Sonezaki, Momoko Sudo and Hitoha Hongo in the 1st grade of high school who deal with their love life and desires. All of them are members of the literature club at their college. They are embarrassed to talk about explicit stories even though they are interested in them. Once they decided to talk about “what they want to do in their levies before they die.” To know what happens next, do watch it!

The Feel-Good Part

The characters stand back to each other when someone makes a mistake; they hate each other in some part. But I liked the way they designed the encouraging nature among them. Some characters are so strong that you get into their emotions and start to love or hate them. Those are characters who reflect the answers to a problem that feels good at the end. Directors, scriptwriters, and even producers are all women, this is quite rare, and I felt perfect about it.

The Disappointing Factor

I felt it would have been even better if they had given equal opportunity for all the characters; I know it is challenging to give importance to all surfaces. But I felt Sugawara was a bit mysterious; maybe that is what nature gets focused on. 

In-Depth Analysis

The drama not only showcases the desire of the teen it also built around self-discovery and the growth of one personality. The encouragement of each other in the literature club boosts their confidence to correct their mistakes. This situation makes the audience go inside the story to make their self-discovery by relating it to the characters. The Characters try to find the solutions for the problems they are facing; sometimes, it feels that it is more mature and sometimes so childish. But in all of them, they learn something and grow together.

Star Power

Sudo Momoko is the one who feels honest even though she is afraid of speaking; her inner confidence is more exposed. Even other characters are also good, but for me, Momoko stands first.

Overall Opinion

If you are a life story lover or a person interested in knowing about others’ feelings in life and relating them to yourself, then this is the one for you.
