Jack o' Frost

Ritsu, a dreamy illustrator and Fumiya, a rather pragmatic salesman, are a couple. Everything seems fine, but Fumiya hasn't been happy in the relationship for a while, but instead of talking about it, he has been bottling up his emotions. On Ritsu's birthday, the situation escalates: Fumiya finally explodes, and tells Ritsu that he can't be with him any more. Ritsu storms out of their apartment and later is involved in an accident which results in amnesia. Ritsu remembers everything apart from his relationship with Fumiya. Fumiya, who feels sorry for him, tells Ritsu that they used to be roommates. They are back to living together again and both young men find themselves falling in love with the other again. Can they maybe start anew?

Oooh, boy, this one could have turned out depressing and dark. But it's not. It's a gentle story of two gentle souls who break up because of a misunderstanding and fall in love again. The production is calm and dreamy and you drift through it like through a beautiful dream. Ritsu and Fumiya are one of those couples where it doesn't need passion and fireworks (oh, there is passion, it's just not over the top), instead Jack O'Frost delivers quiet romance and domestic fluff.

What I loved most about the production is the wonderful, natural chemistry between the two (gorgeous) leads. It feels natural and not forced, you can feel that both actors are comfortable with each other and if they were not, they are damn good at acting as if they were. Also, and this is what I really would like to emphasize: Their love and kissing scenes were to die for, to the point where they pull you in and you want to watch them over and over again.

Jack O'Frost is a typically bittersweet Japanese BL (and I love those) and if you decide to watch it, you're in for a good time. Also, it only has six episodes, so it's not too long.

10/10 I wasn't bored for a moment, I didn't have to fast forward and it warmed my heart.
