Yey!!! Another fan of Yasashii Jikan! I've always thought that this drama is underrated and under radar on most Arashi fans I've known.
To me somehow the slow phase gets you to appreciate the characters' emotion, get to know them, and get to empathy on what they went through... so many feels!!!

and yes! Azu is not the character that you'd normally root for, especially on the 'selfish' part, but somehow you sympathize and end up thinking 'ah, she meant well' XD. And Nino looked so innocent here, and yeah, I'm rewatching this again... never tired of this drama LOL...
