A modern take on young love in your 20s.

Judging by reviews, I see this drama is one where you either love it or hate it. I personally loved it and it will be my first review on here. I think if you like a show like sex & the city, then this drama is for you. It has fresh and open dialogue about love, obsession, traditonal values,...and yes sex! I've never seen a Jdrama quite like this. The first episode alone tackles a subject with the male lead that is usually never discussed. I will also say I loved the side characters as well in this drama. Plus, the opening song is hella catchy.

Positives:
Characters: This show has basically only 4 characters and it focuses solely on them and their relationships with each other. I love that because with the limited time, the show is able to delve into past events/back story of why each person has their hang ups and makes the choices they make.
Female Lead: Terada is the main character and I found her so funny. There were moments where I was cracking up. She has a hard time after college and finds herself working at a grocery store part time barely getting by. She needs to find herself and find what is special about her. I liked how she seemed real and relatable.
Male Lead: Tomo is hard to understand at first because he doesn't know how to express his emotions, and at other times he's shockingly blunt and honest. He's a writer that doesn't write and has no motivation. He has a problem only Terada can seem to fix.
2nd male lead: Hase was one of the most interesting characters to me. He is confident and polite, but with a lot of mental hangups from his childhood.
2nd Female lead: Funny Akari. She's odd and quirky and is not your typical side female character. She idolizes and is a fan of Tomo because of his previously published books.
CHEMISTRY: The chemistry is off the charts with Terada and Tomo. Just the way Tomo would look at Terada with smouldering eyes in some scenes..ahh.
Love Scenes: If you are sick of the stiff kisses in dramas where the female lead looks shocked, eyes bulging outta her head, while the male lead barely touches her lips then Kakafukaka is for you. There are definitely some steamy heart palpitating scenes haha.
Negatives: Not much negative to say. This drama was a wild crazy ride. It was different in a good way. Rewatch value 10/10.
