God, this drama is so good, I love it so far. If it keeps up this quality for the rest of episodes, might be one of my favs for the year.

Umi is the cutest, I feel so bad for her. She's an innocent victim trapped in the middle of her mom's selfish decision. Natsu looks so traumatized and confused all the time, but I respect that he kinda wants to be the dad who steps up?

Her mom switched between being hostile and sympathetic to Natsu every 2 scenes. Ma'am, it's not his fault he didn't know he had a kid and he's so unprepared to be a dad, as you noted yourself. But still, it must be hard to face the man when your daughter suffered on her own for so long.

The scene of Yayoi crying was devastating. At first, I thought it was cause she got promoted to stepmom all of sudden after her bf's ex died. Or because it's obvious Natsu isn't over his college ex. But after the reveal about Yayoi's own abortion... Jesus, she was crying bc when Natsu said he murdered his kid... It was like saying that Yayoi murdered her child.

I think it's sort of wholesome that Yayoi wants to be Umi's mom and decided to support Natsu's decision? I'm honestly more interested in her relationship and feelings about Umi tbh

What is this Tsuno character even tryna do? Why is he inserting himself into a love triangle with a dead woman and her baby daddy? Who is he to say that Umi has no dad? I also like when Grandma pushed back at Tsuno acting like she's his MIL or something.

The way Umi ran and hugged him.. started telling him about her day... Bro got promoted to dad 🥲 oh gawd, the feels...

@ the previews: I understand Mizuki's mom's feelings but how can she say that?? Actually forget her, HOW DARE TSUNO SAY THAT?? WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT?? 🤬🤬

Kinu and Mugi's moments in my head: Kinu's toilet roll from when they first met, their unintentional couple shoes, the wrong parfait order from when they confessed, the red pedestrian signal from when they first kissed, Mugi's drawing of their pet cat, them captured in g-maps street view, and of course, the iconic sharing earphones even if the sounds that come out on the left and right were different, haha!

Scenes from We Made a Beautiful Bouquet (2021), directed by Doi Nobuhiro and written by Sakamoto Yuji.

I just saw Call Me Chihiro and it really struck a chord with me!

If you are OK with movies that move slow and let emotional nuances wash over the scenes then I highly recommend this one. It’s on Netflix.
