>>1648561Not sure myself, it has been years since I've watched it, but I find I like it more and more.
Maybe it is because it tries to go beyond high school drama. It is not just they confess to each other-the end. You get to see them living despite how shitty life is, so yeah healing power. The melodrama does get annoying because it brought an onslaught of "OMG I cried T.T" inauthentic reactions, however it is still pretty great. Also nostalgia.
