Thoughts:
I personally loved this drama. I watched it for the first time many years ago and it was one of the first to give me whumperflies. Kaito goes through so much in order to keep his pain hidden from others and will allow people to misunderstand and hate him if it means avoiding hurting them. He’ll take all the pain alone in order to not be a burden to those he loves. There’s a lot of really whumpy scenes in this one, it’s probably one of my favs.
If you wish to watch this series, my recommendation would be to use the Japanese title of the show ゴーストフレンズ on Dailymotion. There, you will find the eps split in three parts with English subs. It used to be available on GoodDrama but has been gone for a few years now. For people who need subtitles, Dailymotion is the only place I’m aware of to watch.
See you next time!
