There's nothing "happy" about this divorced life

I know this is categorized as a romantic drama and not a comedy, but this is way too depressing. In 5 out of 6 episodes, the main character is being harassed for being divorced and dating a new guy. Another dude is so offended at being rejected by her that he decides to ruin her life to the point of her being scared of him. The FL is constantly met with defeat and to me it seems that she gains nothing in the end. She has a boyfriend, sure, but her work situation and personal relationships have taken permanent damage which doesn't seem worth it.

For a series this short, the risk/reward was too unbalanced for my taste.

Classic jdrama with a couple more comfortable around one another!!

To be very honest this was like every other classic jdrama. Plot wise *spoilers ahead* there is the usual breakup scene in the second to last episode ?. BUT!!!! The one upper this drama has is that we see the couple interact a lot more than usual, and after the initial understandable awkwardness they seem really comfortable around each other, based on how they talk and interact with one another (kissing too was really natural). Thats why i didnt mind the breakup scene (unlike usual), plus it wasnt even dragged for too long so whatever. There is also the typical running into each other scene when they get back together ahah but oh well.

Also many are complaining that there is no plot, but there is and it's simply the two protagonists falling for each other and dating. Apart from the unnecessary breakup scene there is little to no drama (the breakup is very short lived basically).

So all in all give it a try and don't mind the "low" score it has.

My Happy Divorced Life (Japan) (2023) – my first 2023 japanese drama. It’s a pretty fast pacing drama that only Japan can do. I really like this style of them. This drama is really short but is fully packed with scenes that made me think about the circumstances of divorce, dating with a younger man, and at the workplace at that. It seems really fast but when I got the hang of it, is good considering that it does not have to be too much. The drama focuses on the main leads, the female protagonist to be exact which I really like. There are not too many side characters as well which is a plus, and the other characters have their significant time to shine as well. Good watch but seems fast if you’re not used to watching these types of dramas like me.

La vie pas si heureuse d’une divorcée…

Lors de mon visionnage, je n’avais pas d’attentes concernant cette histoire et d’une certaine façon heureusement car rien n’est approfondit…

Ce drama survole plusieurs problématiques liées à la femme :
► Comment faire face lors d’un divorce ? (Et ce quel qu’en soit la raison…)
► Le regard de la société sur cette femme qui a osé divorcer à un âge considéré comme avancé… (Une femme de 30ans n’est accomplie que si elle est mariée et à des enfants… C’est bien connu… L’Asie m’exaspère sur sa représentation de ce que devrait être une femme ^^’)
► La différence d’âge dans un couple (surtout si c’est la femme la plus âgée…)
Bien que ces problématiques soient intéressantes, elles n’ont pas de consistance car le format du drama étant court elles ne sont pas exploitées... De plus, on sent une volonté de se concentrer sur le couple « Kazuka & Ayato » plutôt que sur ce qui les entoures.

De ce fait, parlons d’eux :
► Kazuha est une femme « fière » qui tente de se reconstruire après son divorce. Elle utilise beaucoup l’auto-dérision pour se protéger et ainsi éviter d’approfondir ses échanges.
► Ayato est le cliché des SHOJO (et pourtant c’est basé sur un Josei…) c’est-à-dire le jeune sans expérience… Beau-gosse qui n’a jamais eu une seule relation amoureuse… Alors qu’il a 22ans… (Dans quel monde vit-on ?!) Je dois dire que je n’ai pas accroché à son personnage… Il me semblait si immature… (étant moi-même trentenaire, je me suis dis que si je devais le fréquenter je serais constamment psychologiquement épuisée :o !!)

Vous l’aurez compris, si ce drama n’est pas spécialement déplaisant, à part pour passer le temps, je ne le conseillerai pas ^^’.

Otra serie que vi por Shiono

Como son solo seis episodios de 24 min, no es que pueda pasar mucho en esta historia, y obviamente lo que pasa no es precisamente impredecible, pero aún así me encontré disfrutando bastante de este dorama. La protagonista me gustó un montón, ya que su actitud, aunque acorde a su posición en la sociedad que la rodea, me siguió pareciendo audaz dentro de lo lógico. El first lead, por el contrario, no me terminó de encantar, pero sí debo decir que tuvo unos cuantos momentitos muy buenos (el muchacho es un poco sobreactuado, sí, pero no se sale mucho de lo esperable). Y el second lead interpretado por Akihisa Shiono, que obviamente es el motivo por el que vi la serie, me hizo estallar en más de una ocasión (¿si lo hubiera interpretado otro actor tal vez lo hubiera odiado? Puede ser, pero que fuera Shiono me pareció muy acertado jaja).

Otra cosa muy subjetiva que quiero aclarar es que los clichés que se usaron no me parecieron para nada molestos, ya que sobre todo se aprovecharon para hacer algún que otro chiste (los intercambios entre Mitsui y el personaje de Shiono son un 10).

Eso sí, la venden mucho como comedia romántica, y lo es, pero el título de "My Happy Divorced Life" no sé qué tan acertado fuera, ya que la prota no la pasa muy bien que digamos (independientemente de que al final haya conseguido novio). En la historia hay más problemas que otra cosa, están advertidos(?

En fin, una serie simpática y cortita por si quieren reírse un rato. Además la pareja principal en sí no está mal, aunque tampoco me haya encantado.
