It is just a simple love story, and every good love story has its bit of drama. This show, in my opinion, gets the drama right where most romantic classics didn't. For example, Kimi ni Todoke is a pillar in romantic shows, but its dramatic points can get annoying (specially on season 2). This one is just right.
Another strength of the show is how real the characters feelings are portrayed. It just makes sense to me that they fell in love on first sight, but didn't notice/understand at first. They both come from different backgrounds that made them shut their feelings, so it makes sense that their love develops slowly (reeeeealy slowly). And it also makes sense that when it "clicks", they suddenly find themselves doing things they normally wouldn't, without necessarely breaking up the character's personality. This is also a thing most romantic shows don't get right.
If i need to say some negatives, i guess that the show failed miserably on the "comedy part". If you begun this expecting a rom com, forget the "com", it just doesn't work. Another thing is that the side characters are really interesting, and do get some development, but never get any conclusion.
Overall, i liked it. I came expecting nothing (i've seen how some people bombed the show on the reviews), and came out surprised. If you are, like me, a sucker for silly romance, I reccomend you check this one out!
