As a child Aizawa
Natsuki (Kuroki Meisa) was kidnapped and held prisoner, which has led her to
have PTSD and panic attacks in her older years. She had been saved by an
unknown man, whom she refers to as her first love. But has not been able to
meet him, or find him. Now an adult she is the assistant physics professor in
the same school her mother works and makes research, and has a relationship
with her long time childhood friend Yuki Kentaro (Hiraoka Yuta), whom helps her
through her panic attacks.
One day her life is
turned upside down when she walks into the room of the new architectural
professor Tatsumi Shuya (Gackt). Having an instant charisma and same taste in
music, she finds him quite attractive, even making Kentaro aware of his
presents, and it doesn’t help when he announces to Natsuki that she will fall
in love with him and he will show her what love is like. This confuses Natsuki,
and when she starts to remember things of the past she is shocked to remember
seeing Tatsumi being the one saving her, but he didn’t age a day. How is that
possible? Why does he have such an interest in Natsuki?
A very interesting beginning,
then a confusing middle, and then just a ‘what-the,,’ ending. I am a huge fan
of time traveling stories, which is also the main reason for watching this
drama. But it kind of goes against the principles of time travelling, and
though I hoped it would be a bit more confusing and twisted, it actually was
very simple, and it wasn’t that thought through. It kind of left me with the
thought: why did this start anyway.
Meisa and Gackt are a
very unique, weird and yet interesting couple, and they kind of have this
strange chemistry (might be the way the spoke to each other), but you don’t
really realize it is a chemistry until you get to the point of them being next
to each other.
It kind of reminds me
of a web drama, like it doesn’t have much explanation nor enough screentime or
whatever.
Okay so to sum up: a
decent yet unsettling feeling of a story.
