Date - Koi to wa Donna Mono Kashira (2015)

I've had this "Date - Koi to wa Donna Mono Kashira" sitting, so as to speak, on my bedside table for almost a decade (I'm always keeping aside a few works with my faves - Wakui Emi in this case - so that I know there's still something with them I haven't watched, ready for when the nostalgia for them reaches unbearable levels, LOL).
I'm really happy I finally decided to pick it up, as it really exceeded my expectations!!!
If you, like me, appreciate when writers manage to accomplish a well-done character development, then chances are you'll like this series too!
The leads slowly-but-surely develop, in fact, from the almost unbearable characters they are at the beginning (LOL, you'll need some patience, believe me!) to the more open, warmer, kinder and more humane persons they'll get to be in the end, all thanks to the help from those sorrounding them and to the fact that, as imperfect as they are, they can still become a little less imperfect just by staying together - and to this humble reviewer, that alone is a gazillion times more romantic than the usual "Cold male CEO x buck-eyed, eyelashes-batting Cinderella"!
(Too bad they kinda ruined it with the useless SP episode...but that's another story...)

With sorrow
This is neither comedy nor romance

The acting was extremely bad
They exaggerating much which made the acting extremely faraway from being natural
And I don't know why Japanese always yelling
Somebody should tell them this is not comedy at all when they act like this

The events were disconnected in my opinion and repetitive

The romance were extremely cold
Like you think you are going to Maldives then you suddenly find yourself in north pole

The storyline were really good in the summary
But when they decided to implement it
They literally ruined it
The FL was horrible
Dead face and dead face expression
She annoyed me much the whole drama

No character development for both till the end

And the END was awful , annoying and frustrated

I think I'm going to give up JD for ever
Every 100 drama I can just find good one

It's not bad but it wasn't that good either

Well to be honest I've read all the reviews about the show and I thought maybe it will be a good one , and it wasn't bad but I didn't feel like it was great like the reviews said it was. I honestly feel like I've wasted ten hours of my life. I mean I thought episode 9 was a joke but it wasn't after all. For example the male lead was for a short time of period together with his friends sister..... But why? There wasnt a MOMENT of romance between those two so WHY? Just because of petty? I dont know. This back and forward between the main leads was kinda annoying too. I liked the privat family stories and the small moments between the leads sometimes but it still won't make my mind up.
