With a high salary and a beautiful girlfriend, one would expect Osamu to be the envy of all around him. Yet there is something missing in his life. On the complete other end of the spectrum, 25-year-old Ota Miyuki works part-time at a Hardware store while trying to fulfill her dreams of becoming an actress. Though her parents may have named her Miyuki with the intention of her being beautiful and happy, the reality is she is ugly. Ugly enough for her parents to worry over her future. Miyuki herself, though she hates it, is also quite aware of this fact. This is where Osamu and Miyuki meet. Shocked by Miyuki's pure and fresh personality, he is drawn to her, but... ~~ Adapted from the essay "Busu no Hitomi ni Koishiteru" by Suzuki Osamu. Edit Translation

That was kind entertaining to watch with a great format/length. But that still lack of scenes between the two protagonists to create a real chemistry. By some aspects their relationship seems rushed.
The second issue I have with the story is the notion of ugliness that conveys this drama. Although they can't be completely blamed, they could have convey a more positive message.

Actors was great even if the main actress seemed awkward with skin closeness/kiss. But she is 19, and age gap between the two actors can be a factor.

This kind of story with the same pace and more maturity would be a great romantic drama.

OST : not memorable but not annoying
Re-watch value: I rarely re-watch a drama.

OK.. this is an interesting drama to critique. “Busu no Hitomi ni Koishiteru” is an adaptation of the 2006 version. The occupations of the characters are different, but the gist of the story is the same. I believe the scriptwriter is actually the real life male lead, Suzuki Osamu, and that’s why it seems wrong to criticize a drama that he writes about his love story with his wife.

This is a super fast-paced romance in true Japanese fashion. From meeting to getting married, it only took about 4 episodes and these are short episodes. However, Osahima Miyuki (FL) has a sunny and optimistic disposition. This makes the drama enjoyable as we don’t have someone who is always crying or acts as a victim. And due to her personality, she attracts the attention of Suzuki Osamu (ML). Miyuki brings out the best in Osamu, believes in his talents and supports him in any way possible (a little too submissive for my personal taste). Their romance is decent to me. Everything is just too fast, too soon.

Most of the criticisms of this drama would probably be the portrayal of the female lead as the ‘ugly’ girl. Miyuki is really not ugly but she’s overweight. I guess overweight = ugly in many Asian dramas. Not only is she called ugly and is bullied, the writing of all the second-hand embarrassment is overkill for such a short drama. How many times is she going to trip and fall? Do overweight people fall all the time? I don’t think I do! You get all the usual stereotypes - clumsy, easily picked on/bullied, naive, eats a lot, etc. This is definitely not a drama about body image and self-esteem.

If you are very sensitive about body image or people being picked on due to their outward appearances, I would not recommend you to watch this. This is a simple and easy watch and it’s interesting to see a drama about voice actors. But I would not go out of my way to watch.
