Ren Kosaka (Ryusei Yokohama) arrives in Japan to take up a special temporary lecturer position at an art university in Kamakura, Japan. He is a young and talented artist, who has a certain aura about him to make people want to get closer to him, but he also keeps a certain distance from everyone around him.

Still May 22 2025 9:19 am What can I say... everything was on a different level. The acting, the script, the directing, the filming, the pace, the casting...yes everything.

Mashiba Apr 21 2025 9:54 am Let me start with how great of an actor Ryusei Yokohama is! He portrayed the depth and intensity of Ren's character so well.

Minami Sara also did great as well as the other cast. Damn, there wasn't a single dull scene. Even the side stories aren't rushed despite having only 8 episodes.

If I were to compare this to the Korean version, I think this is a lot better. The scenes here are beautiful and profound. The back story of Ren is also well-written. You will never hate him.

Foci Apr 05 2025 1:28 am Didn't expect to like this dorama! I couldnot finish the Korean version but turns out this is so good! I love the chemistry between Ren and Miu

RLC Mar 09 2025 1:05 am I loved it and want more!!!

LM Feb 01 2025 6:21 pm I actually like this better than the Korean version. It’s a light-hearted watch despite the moody vibe. Although it’s only 8 ep, I personally don’t think things are being rushed at all and it beautifully conveyed the message that loves do come in different shapes. I really appreciate the cinematography, very well done, the whole series is an art piece in itself!

I prefer Ren over Jae-On because Ren is less problematic and vain. Ren is sexy and smouldering without having to be pointed out that he’s is, unlike how it is in the Korean version, where everyone constantly talks about how hot Jae On is to constantly remind us. The ML really embodied that charismatic, mysterious, tortured soul that makes everyone flock around him because his character is genuinely intriguing. He speaks with his eyes.

The artist/s who drew the portraits of the ML and FL at the end is/are incredibly talented. Not sure if Ren’s art pieces that were shown on the website FL was looking at are real but those are amazing too, I would love to see them in an actual gallery.

RonW Jan 19 2025 4:37 pm Gave the Korean version a thumbs down and give this the same. The only thing that makes this better but still not worth watching is that you can waste less time on it. You get through it even faster if you want by fast forwarding while still getting the gist of the story. As to cinematography what’s so great with all the dark and grainy night and indoor scenes?

Enoki Jan 18 2025 3:00 pm it was beautiful , worth watching , better than original ver

Sasukai Jan 11 2025 10:59 am People always gotta plain about something. The slow burn was great, the side characters had enjoyable moments too. The Japanese language just makes the scenes look much more kinder than the original version. I love how they kept apologising every other second and the chemistry was there. I personally want a Ren and Chiapas storyline because there story was kind of depressing. I liked how it wasn’t a straight copy of the original. This version beats the original by far.

Flo Dec 30 2024 8:00 am I just finished episode 8......Ahhhhhh it was so worth watching and also waiting for this last episode. There were a lot of mixed emotions I felt while watching but honestly, it was Soooo Good !! #soworthwatchingneverthelesstheshapeoflove #perfect

Christine mae garcai Dec 29 2024 6:35 pm At first i wasn’t sure if she was beautiful or boring and then when i watched it oh my god it’s a very good movie girl and boy will get better . I really hope they get back together in episode 8

Christine mae garcia Dec 29 2024 6:22 pm What time release. 8th episode later december 30

Yure Dec 29 2024 11:56 am It’s not terrible but not good either everything about this drama just felt rushed most of the episodes were boring and didn’t make sense then ep8 came I was like wtf even is this at this point,the male lead’s acting is terrible I love him in other dramas but this one wasn’t his best role…yikes

linda kowal Dec 26 2024 10:18 pm Will the 8th episode end this series? It is very different from the Korean version and the actors are very good in this series. I also feel that the emotional bonds are intense looking into each others souls to see if each can touch the other. I am anxious to see how and if the barriers come down between them so that they can intensely feel the connection they have for one another .

Kiki Dec 26 2024 12:15 pm It says it has here it has 8 episodes, on Netflix it has only 7. What happened? Anyway, this for me is better than the Korean version. The cinematography, the angles, the music (they even included Twinkle Twinkle little star which was so out of place but it fits at the same time haha), the tone, the pace, the acting and the subplots (and I really hate subplots, but this time its necessary, obviously, because of the title :D)

Aish Dec 26 2024 8:25 am Loved it till now… the way it has been shot ,minimalist, only focus on what they want to highlight. Artistic, calm music, even the color tone is natural just feels therapeutic

Sam Dec 20 2024 6:47 am I love it more than the Korean version ngl. It's different and unique and feels more deep, thoughtful and artsy. Its like a quiet intimate love. Not loud . I love that kind of love more than the loud , in your face kind of love / romance. It's totally my type.

Jen Dec 17 2024 8:20 am Boring no chemistry between the main leads I’m very disappointed in Ryusei Yokohama acting in this drama it’s so mid..the Korean version wasn’t that great either but better than this.

Joy Dec 16 2024 5:57 pm I feel like it's kinda boring but hopefully it get interesting

Wangdau Dec 16 2024 12:51 pm Both the leads are perfect

Mayra Dec 14 2024 7:47 pm Bad, very bad remake of the Korean version of the webtoon.

Teresa Ferguson Dec 13 2024 11:41 am I think Ryusei Yokohama is perfect for that role. She is good at her role

Teresa Ferguson Dec 13 2024 11:36 am Why stop at three leaving it like a cliff hanger. Leaving it at what happens when they see each other and the other woman on his porch. Did he use her all this time. Plz finish the series just don't leave it hanging like this.

Tyree Dec 12 2024 6:57 pm It's a nice start, but will there be more episodes?

Asrar Matar Dec 10 2024 6:36 pm I just watched the 3 episodes series. It started strong, the main concept is the butterfly life, it's there and surrounded by others but always fragile when contacted with others. Our lives and personalities are the same, when we react with others, we should expect to get hurt in the way.

Jia Dec 10 2024 10:17 am I watched a few episodes already… hmmm I don’t like it so far sorry it’s more lovey dovey than what the actual WEBTOON is about and kinda boring. I’m going to watch few more episodes hopefully it gets good if not I’ll be rating this drama 2/5 stars.

HELENE Dec 10 2024 12:40 am Loving it! Brilliant!

Faryal Nov 15 2024 8:32 am Sara Minami is the fml & she also played Sawako Kuronoma in new netflix live action drama Kimi ni Todoke that's the actress she's quite younger than him lol almost 8-9 years difference

Laura Nov 11 2024 9:09 am Yaaas! Ryusei back to romance ?

Reggie Kray Nov 03 2024 7:25 am Please let the woman be Minami Hamabe or Mio Imada....please....please!!!

arwa Oct 31 2024 6:45 am I’m a big fan of the Korean version nevertheless. Can’t wait to see how this one will turn out!!
