With Love

5.0
19981h

It all started when Takashi (Takenouchi), a talented composer who could not write a love song ever since his girlfriend Rina left him suddenly, accidentally sent an uncompleted piece of his latest work to Amane (Tanaka) via email. Deeply touched by his music, Amane wrote back to him, without getting a reply. Amane continued writing to him, pouring out her thoughts. Only when she signed as "Teru Teru Bozu", did Takashi responded with a mail saying "WHO ARE YOU?", because what Rina left him as a farewell gift was a teru teru bozu!

The drama can be classified as one of those mid-to-low tier dramas, doing the bare minimum to keep its storyline somewhat functional. It felt strangely empty, and it was not a slow-burn as some might claim, just unjustifiably and unapologetically slow. The plot lacked proper support, and it seemed like the second male lead was added merely to fill in some space. Occasionally, the show attempted to use this emptiness for introspective reflection or a shift in perspective, but the execution felt clumsy and ineffective. The dialogue often meandered into mundane, trivial irrelevant matters. While these small details can sometimes enrich a character, their excessive repeated use became nothing more than soring background noise. Flashbacks were used a bit too often, cluttering the space even more. The entire plot could have easily been condensed down into a movie without losing any essential context. In fact, the drama even ended with a movie-like ending. The only redeeming quality was the nostalgic '90s melodrama vibes. On an unrelated note, if you casually opened files from emails in the '90s, you'd probably be the easiest victim of a cyber attack!

You've reached the end.
