Cute with a really refreshing uplifting story. (very underrated!)

the main thing I like about it, is how it shows the animals creature and goes into detail on some of it, it's really beautiful.
in general I've never seen a drama about animals before? and it really makes you love those creature even more.

it's lighthearted and has very uplifting vibes in it which really I loved about it, you know sometimes you just need a silly drama to smile at and have a good time watching it.

highly recommend watching it since it's 7 episodes only it will finish before you realize it ^^

This drama is way underrated! I wish the ending never came it was such an amazing show and wonderful story! The cast was perfect, it was really nice seeing a new side to a few actors/actresses I already knew. While the show does have a heavy focus on romance, it isn't too much that it would fall in the "romance genre" specifically; though it does fall in the romance genre, it's very well balanced by comedy and slice-of-life and suspense! Not to menton the amazing and extremely accurate information about Marine life that is not boring, easy to understand, and shown with great talent through the entire series!

I wish they expanded more on the series, making it 10 episodes or having a special would have been nice! Kiritani Kenta was one of the main reasons I watched this series, however it was surprising at how well everyone came together to teach and support each other. This is a good drama for a watching slump when you don't know what to watch, or for someone starting out in Japanese dramas. Definitely give this show a chance!

Good Drama with Perfect Scoring

I watched this because Mayu-chan was in the cast, and was shocked when one of Suzuran guy was there too lol

Mayu-chan did a great job to bring the best of this Shima Yuka character. Clumsy, airhead but hardworking and always bring happiness to everyone around her. But i think the love development between Yuka and Kaji was too rushed and lil' bit confusing, since i didn't saw Kaji showing his love affection to Yuka that much. The side character love story (Kumiko & Shuta) was better for me.

Btw, omg i love the scoring pretty much. Since the theme is Sea, the music bring some kind of oceanic nostalgia for me. If you just listen to the theme song and close your eyes, for me it feels like i was floating in a nice wave of ocean with some kind of excitement, joy and happiness. If you like Sea theme, this drama is the best choice.
And putting Ikimonogakari's music were a good choice i think, it suits Shima's character perfectly.

It’s a cute and simple

This drama is not an amazing story but it is cute and has a lot of animals. It shows how to prioritize humanity over profit and features a close knit community of people dedicated to animals welfare.

It starts off with Shima Yuka a very clumsy kinda pushover Female Lead but with some character development she turns into a lovable character with a great personality.

There is some presence of family in the drama as well as friendship and love. But the Romance is lacking at best. The cold ML has almost no character development, but he isn’t totally hateable. If you contextualize his words and actions you’ll see that he has his own reasons.

For the most part misunderstandings are less prevalent and the characters often talk heart to heart.

If nothing else the Dolphins we adorable🐬🐬🐬🥰🥰🥰

I started this Drama for Adachi Rika. The first episode was AWFUL, the female lead yet another MPDG, cursed with incompetence but blessed with good intentions. I decided to stick it out to see if it got better. It didn't. I only finished it because it was short, and I gave in to my old "gotta see how it ends" syndrome. Thank goodness for fast-forward!

The storyline has zero originality, the male lead's "stern, gruff" act makes wooden acting seem like an insult to trees, and the morality tale lessons are preached with all the subtlety of a megaphone.

This drama is cute and simple, but the story is just mid. It's just a story of a man and a woman working in aquarium and fell in love. The main leads don't have any chemistry, yes they both look adorable, but I can't feel any connection between them. I think what makes them cute(?) is their character; the female lead that is naive and will do anything and the male lead who looks bored and done 24/7, and how he slowly accepted the female lead in his job and life. The only thing that is not cute is his rude behavior towards the female lead in the first 3 episodes.

I'll only give it a 6.5/10. The number of episodes suits the flow of the story, not too short and not too long. I also like the other characters beside the main leads.
