A robot and an idler
An absolute gem of a drama with a quirky and funny story and characters; the synopsis is accurate so I am just going to gush a bit about this drama.A robotic girl and an idler meet, and reasonably decide to sign a contract and get married. But before that, the social convention says they should date. So they do! And it is hilarious. She shows up at the first date with a fake flower on top of her head and the duck mouth expression on her face, scaring the living daylights out of the ML. Through a series of such dates, they unwittingly and unconsciously start changing, becoming less rigid and stubborn! Eventually, they try dating other people without realizing they had actually fallen for each other. There is an emotional scene towards the ending, when their love is obvious to all except to themselves, and when they argue how unfit they are for each other! So perfect! So unexpected, though completely within their characters!
There is a number of support characters, helping them along the way: her long suffering widower of a father, the ML's mother and friends and of course the ghost of her mother (actually, the FL's subconsciousness).
Often, I had an impression of watching a theatre play: there are long dialogues, with very fast exchanges, no music and interior sets! The writing was rather good though I must admit that it became a bit repetitive and therefore boring in the second half: I did not laugh as much as during the first episodes and they could not help themselves: they had to introduce the most annoying and useless trope: a childhood connection! The actors were perfect. I admire japanese casting directors: how do they manage to find child actors who look perfectly like the main actors! It is uncanny!
This was a great watch, funny and uplifting!

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.Was this review helpful to you?
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
