A complete waste of time

If I could rate this a 0/10, BEST BELIEVE I WOULD. (wouldn’t even let me rate it a 0.5/10 ??) This drama was so stupid. Too fast paced, with no plot. Everything was everywhere and you had no time to get to know any of the characters. I swear they introduced a new person every episode ?

And omg the main leads had absolutely no chemistry whatsoever. Their “spicy” scenes pissed me tf off, because they were so random. and he was doing all the work. she would say “i love you” but couldn’t even unbutton his shirt ? ?sis, please do better.

FL was like the stereotypical useless damsel in distress, from dramas in the early 2000’s. She knew it too. Her acting was so stiff, and her character was so basic.

ML was excessively possessive and really just horny. Like every 5 mins he was tryna kiss her. Like please, just use your words ?

Genuinely shocked that it aired in 2019. And i’ve never been so grateful for the fast foward button.

LIGHT ROMANTIC SHOW. YOU CAN WATCH IT IN ONE DAY

Synopsis:
Young and naive, country girl Shiroki Risa is in Tokyo to attend university. She is almost painfully shy and does not realize how beautiful she is, so all the male attention she attracts makes her uncomfortable. She dreams of the kind of love you read about but does not accept any of the invitations for a date from her classmates. She has a chance meeting with Fukami Hiroto, a handsome, gentle, and mysterious man. As their love grows, Risa and Hiroto learn about each other’s strengths and weaknesses
(By fangirl's review that was just similar to what I wanted to say)
Plot:
1.Shiragi Risa by fukuhara haruka:
She is definitely a beauty and that typical shy girl out in the town.
She just nailed the role of a shy, beautiful girl in Tokyo from a small Town it just felt she was made for that role.
I just felt that she should me more mature and think of how dangerous the world can be, you can say she was lucky to have that man but she was easy to be fooled it could have been a scam and that would have been a disaster for her!!
She is friendly but she doesn't show her that side and i can totally understand why she hated bitter things I mean me too I hate bitter things i don't understand how people out there enjoy it!!!
2. Fukami hiroto by sakurada Dori:
The most charming man omg!! How can a person together be handsome,cute,hot,sexy like srsly.
The first impression was definitely "amazing" this but I thought he is scammer, or a bad guy just hanging around wasting time around beautiful girls but I was wrong until the 5 or 6 ep i thought that now it would be revealed that he is scammer but I was wrong!!!!
He was a bad guy but Risa chaged her a lot he is way too possesive about her. He loves her so much that he should how miserable he could be without her.
That was definitely a straightforward confession i have every seen way to straightforward
Enough of the charecter but is there anyone who feels the same as me this guy ii's bit similar to j-hope^_^
Ep review:
1. Kiss and night
The very first ep of this drama and i was literally confused because of ML cause he way being way too straightforward i thought that it was lie and someone was trying to scam her.
But those scenes were way too much of realistic it felt too real ?. I can't deny the fact that I was enjoying them......
How she meet a stranger and agreed to have dinner and then ended up waking up in his house and then that sudden confession and then thier relation..
But the most best thing i loved his back hug when he meet her after a week
2.collage and jealously
This ep was exactly the same as its name not only the ML was jealously of her sitting beside a guy in the collage but that guy was also jealously of her being in relationship because he knew he just can't defeat hiroto.
I loved that scar on the neck and the way ML trusted her after seeing that scar so red......
3.Enemy and gurdian
This ep has that beautiful entry of so called villan with a soft heart?
He has that charming face which can make you fall for him in just few seconds
Thiswas theep where i actually understood that hiroto is not cheating on her he really is geniune about his feelings for her
4.Revenge and reward:
Again it confused me at some point when that so called soft hearted villian said about dark past of hiroto's i once again thought that is is a liar??.
5.play and game:
In this ep i was a bit frustrated you can say the scenes seemed a bit unconnected....but it wasn't that boring
6.Battle and crisis :
Oh god her bestfriend!! When she made that bet of kiss i wished I could go and punch her on that face of her's like how could you do that to your bestfriend ... Thankfully our shy FL gathered confidence to refuse this kiss i was happy for her ...
And yess it was good to see that Rosa's bestfriend had some sense left in her brain to give up so both our FL and ML can live happily!!
7.Sweet and home
Here I think Risa needs a new brain cell no i guess she needs a whole new brain like what's with I can't go further ? bitch you have this heavenly piece of man which is nearly impossible to find in real life....
8. Host and mother:
That hiroto in white was so similar to j-hope!
And here we go everything is going so well now Risa has won over both hiroto and his mom and everything seems so good they are having a happy time but wait why is Yuki there with all his bags? Wait is staying there I mean are fucking kiddin man everything was so good whydo you have to come out of nowhere!!!
Plus this man seemed suspicious it feels at any point he will just turn into a serial killer!!!
8. Risk and danger
Stop it already you guys it's not a bl why does it feel that it will end as bl we wanted Risa and hiroto not Yuki and hiroto!!!
And wait Risa are you giving up ! She is so stupid man! Just go and take a self defense class and get your brain tested because I think you are a totall dumb!!
She just gave up wtf! Are you going to leave that rare heavenly piece like just because you think you are useless. I think that leaving him was the most stupid and useless thing you did right now.
10.coffee and vanilla
Ok
Was it just me who was asking about this girls parents? LOL I mean she's in collage but.... This girl met a older guy lost her virginity, had a stalker got kidnapped, broke up with him, got back together, and is going to marry him. And she just married him without even introducing to her parents??
Happy ending for nao and daichi tho lol!!
But anyways it was quite a light series with nothing much special but not too boring and definitely kept watching this drama just for Dori?.

My opinion :
Guys this series is light and relaxing one with less cliffhanger and stress over what will happen in next ep. If you are tired and want a break from cliffhanger and cusiosity dramas you can binge-watch this show in one go without feeling stress!!

What i loved
- hiroto fukami
- daichi
- yuki
-yoshiki
?

What i hated
- lack of storyline
-lack of charecters
-less ep
- ML being a dumbass for literally whole drama
- that yuki interfering in leads life like wtf!!

OST
You and i - Good on the reel

the only thing that made this dogwater bearable to watch was sakurada dori's face. the ONLY reason im giving this thing two stars instead of one is because there was that little BL scene and i will take sakurada dori in a BL scene in any way that i can get, thank you very much. on a sidenote, i dont get why its ok for dori's character to flirt with another man and thats just ok, never bringing that up again, ok. cool. not like hes got a gf or anything. but risa so much as looks at another man and fukami goes all cool jealous ikemen or whatever.

i cannot comprehend why anybody would want to adapt the manga (which i didnt read, but if its anything similar to the pile of shit that is the storyline, well...) into a ten episode drama. i want to know how much money these actors got paid to participate in such a truly unenjoyable unstimulating piece of garbage. maybe this is the fantasy of japanese women or something, i dunno, but out of all the dog water this is truly some of the doggiest.

in conclusion, sakurada dori has a face, and maybe if you just skip every scene that doesnt have him in frame except for 15:20 - 16:23 of episode nine, you might get some kind of value from this......thing.

Ok so my rating is solely for those hugs,kisses and ahem mature scenes though they are cringeworthy and actors need more practising or experience as it comes off as forced but atleast it is a first for me to see this in an asian drama and ofcourse I enjoyed it ????
First of all I honestly doesn't understand why is almost all Japanese drama portray women as insecure, submissive and sorry to say dumb???? this heroine has dumbfounded me numerous times with her dumbness &her attitude as the perpetual damsel in distress. I have lost count the number of times various men have invaded her personal space; touched, hugged,pinched and kissed her and she didn't even raise her voice let alone land a puncand when ever she needs to speak up she clams up and get absused by whomever wants to do so let her be best friend or boy friend. The only time she opens her mouth is to apologize or to say yes to everything
Thank God it was a short drama otherwise I would have written a 10 page essay ????
Hiroto is typical tsundre guy and uses his experience with women to get his way with inexperienced Risa, for him the way to get over any issue is to seduce Risa ????

Trash

I only rated this to give it an terrible score. I HATE this drama. I love shy girls/possessive male leads, but she was annoying and special for no reason then being pathetic and he was a sorry excuse for a possessive male lead. Neither one of them inspired any confidence and they seemed like they’d be simpering along pathetically for eternity thinking they’re something more than they are.

This is a weak ass attempt at an S&m relationship and is laughable.

Not to mention I couldn’t even get past the FL’s pathetic voice.

Some wet dreams should never be shared in the open

Three and a half episodes and I call it quits. Few of the stories I've seen over my years on this planet were as bland as this cringefest. There is nothing even remotely sexy or romantic in this show and five year olds would probably be more mature than this lot of characters.

Cliche after cliche, a doormat for a FL, a kid pretending to be a mature man for a ML, and a non-existent story that looks slapped together at the last minute. Japanese shows don't shy away from uncomfortable topics and perhaps this show/manga was aiming to be something of that kind. But the result is 9½ Weeks for kids, though suggestive scenes make this show not really suitable for them.

Symbolic 3.5 stars for the effort, but not recommended.

(Lithuanian)

Trys su puse serijos. Daugiau neištvėriau. Per savo gyvenimą nedaug mačiau istorijų, kurios būtų tokios tuščios ir apie nieką. Seksualu? Romantiška? Nieko panašaus. Penkiamečiai ir tie atrodytų labiau subrendę nei šito serialo personažai.

Klišių paradas, bestuburė pagrindinė herojė, suaugusiu apsimetantis vaikas kaip jos partneris ir bet kaip turbūt paskutinę minutę sumesta istorija. Japonai mėgsta savo serialuose užkabinti keisčiausias, nelabai jaukias temas. Gal ir šitam seriale (mangoj) bandyta. Bet išėjo šnipštas – „Devynios su puse savaitės“ mažiems vaikams, tik dėl seksualinių užuominų tiems mažiems vaikams nelabai išeina rodyti.

3,5 simbolinių žvaigždučių už pastangas, bet tikrai nerekomenduoju.

1. Watch this only after watching something heavy/thriller. Otherwise, you'll just get bored. The story is plain. There's no development.
2. The girl is too naive it's annoying.
3. This is like-- you cut that part from a normal drama where two become couple and do smut. That's it. Just longer.
4. Recommended IF you're looking for a buffer or just want some quick romance. No intro or what not.
5. No, it's not darker than 50 shades but definitely mature content.
6. Dori Sakurada is eye-candy.

Real Life from Manga

I could have enjoyed this drama, aside from all the bad, I could have enjoyed it. However, what bothered me so much while watching is the “look” of the actors from their hairstyles, outfits, to the excessive aura/shine surrounding them. There is something to be said for literal translation from page to screen, but for me the look of almost every character in this drama is so OTT, its too fantastical to be taken seriously. Even the steamy skin-ship is ruined from the bizarre on-screen caricatures. Overall, it was just too much.

This is/was my first J-drama so maybe it has some intrinsic value I am unaware of. Don’t let my bad review deter you from making your own decision.

Loved it and Dori Sakurada❤️❤️❤️ my first drama of his. The storyline was really good and I really love at first sight and how they loved each other. I can look pass the fl lead being so shy and timid but it actually woks fir this storyline. The ml and fl had great chemistry together which made the drama even better. I hope Dori Sakurada cones out with a new drama he is a really good actor and very handsome ? ❤️

Hmmm it seems coffee and vanilla looks familiar (Fifty Shades of Grey) the only thing is different is that Anastacia is not so popular with men and she is a little flirty bitch when seducing Christian grey the ,the CEO and the Saddist one.... But its kinda fun watching it because it recalls my memory watching the Fifty Shades... the sexiness is there...thiugh its not so sexy like the fifty shades of grey.....the story is good but i am confused with the first episode, how fukiyami found the girl, he is not in college.... Thanks and i treasure my husband for being a seductive one.. hahahahaha its off limits hahahaha..

This is the first drama I have watched that I couldn't keep watching. The romance was unrealistically fast-paced and the acting was mediocre at best. There were some cute moments in between and a few dramatic points that I thought might make things a bit more interesting but said drama points were very anti-climactic and not worth getting excited over. There is zero character back-story when you meet the characters so you kind of have to figure them out on your own, so their introductions were very weak. This could have been really good because it does have potential but a lot of the scenes were very awkward and rushed. I wouldn't recommend this one.
