'You live here too?!'

It's so stupid but I do like this drama. It's very reminiscent of Playful Kiss but with that comedic Japanese element. It's got every trope in the book, orphans, sharing a room, love triangles, love quadrilterals, strict parents, meddling second leads, mean girls, sick days from rainy dates etc... This show is well aware that it is corny and it runs with it! It's made to be silly, and it's corniness not just an unfortunate side effect, but a deliberate move on the directors part and I love it!

Nao is very annoying but loveable and it's fun watching her grow and mature. I love that she wears her heart on her sleeve and is always honest about her feelings. Her level of immaturity at the start of her first relationship is perfect and sets the stage for some growing up later on in the show.

Hisashi again, manages to grow as a person and becomes more accommodating and kinder as the show goes on. Too often do I see in dramas, a cold, mean male lead that never grows and is never held accountable for his actions yet still gets the girl at the end. It's refreshing to see that in a corny drama the cold male lead does become a better person.

It's pretty predictable and nothing amazing or revolutionary in the way of plot but cleans up nicely and is a wonderful addition to cute teen romance dramas everywhere.

Watch this for a adorable little drama, that is very easy to watch or even binge.
