Days of drowning in a relationship more than friends with benefits but less than lovers, where we met after years with an ex-girlfriend, and even though we both have boyfriends and girlfriends, we say "I like you" and seek each other. Yoru Tsukumo

I still can't forget my ex-boyfriend. My current boyfriend is a great catch, almost too good to lose, but I can't relax when I'm with him. Unable to lie to my own feelings, I ended up wanting to see my ex again.

Lovey-dovey is the best! The acting in this work is surprisingly natural, and I am in awe of its high quality. Particularly in this case, the bittersweet, lovey-dovey storyline development is truly excellent. Even the longer drama segment at the beginning is completely engaging, drawing me in without any boredom. The expressions and gestures in the poignant scenes are realistic, encouraging emotional immersion. I sincerely hope she continues to appear in works along this bittersweet love story path in the future. Truly Important Thing This work, as Aya states at the end, depicts the theme that it takes time to realize what is truly important, through the physical relationships of the characters. Aya's boyfriend is a good young man described by those around him as a "prime catch," but the actions he takes for Aya's sake actually deviate from her preferences. For example, he chooses Japanese food that Aya dislikes, or packs her schedule without prior confirmation, causing their relationship to gradually drift apart. When Aya feels she has reached her emotional limit, she suddenly recalls her days with her ex-boyfriend. Meanwhile, her ex Tatsuya seems to be doing well with his new girlfriend, but as he continues his relationship with Aya as a fuck buddy, his old feelings reignite, and he eventually breaks up with his current girlfriend. As a result, the most important thing for the two of them is the feeling of "mutual love," and although it takes time to realize this, once they do, they never let go, leading to the goal of marriage.
