It has one of my favorite genres in drama world which is marriage of convenience. It's an okay drama. It has that japanese vibes into it, in terms of pacing which is faster and also the weirdness of one of the leads, particularly in this one the male lead. I think it has a good start up. The first parts were intriguing and I got curious with it. As it goes though, the storyline just didn't have a peak, or a great conflict at that so there was no climax moment. They were cute together as a couple but the relationship I think was not too deep for the viewers to see. It lacks something I can't pinpoint,

Enough with the politeness

I enjoyed this show. It is the usual contractual marriage of an odd couple. However, rather than the usual crazy pairing of random strangers, this one is surprisingly well grounded and even have a semblance of logic behind the meet-cute, well, mostly from the ML's perspective.

The plot is solid but uninspired. It runs though the usual gambit of relationship and cohabitation issues. All the problem are handled with maturity and resolved quickly. Of course, there are some issues which are put in the too hard basket like developing feelings for each other. Obviously, being a rom-com those pesky feelings has to be addressed. This is not helped by the politeness and boundary setting between the two. Other than a couple of near misses, their relationship is quite platonic.

This is disappointing because even after they confirmed their feelings for each other near the end of the show, we have very little fan service. It is poor return for shipping the OTP for so long. I honestly would have given it a higher score if we get to see some passion rather than more bonhomie.

Production value is par for the course. Acting is fine and OST is unintrusive.

Short and cute series in a "japanese-style"

Sweet sweet Japanese-style romance between 1 FL in her thirties, single who no longer believes in love, and 1 ML CEO who wants to choose his future wife himself. He asks her to marry him. Despite her reluctance, she accepts. He will tame her and they will end up falling in love.

PROS:
+ Very Japanese series: theme, rituals, very codified behaviors, etc. and series format (8 episodes)
+ Very very cute romance.
+ Little touch of humor with the funny thoughts of the FL. Moreover, this character is not the "innocent", naive or even idiotic FL, that Doramas too often like to highlight.

CONS:
- I would like the ending to be a little more romantic.

=> Short and nice series.
**************************************************************************
Sweet sweet romance à la japonaise entre 1 FL trentenaire, célibataire qui ne croit plus à l'amour, et 1 ML CEO qui veut choisir lui-mm sa future femme. Il lui propose de l'épouser. Malgré ses réticences, elle accepte. Il va l'apprivoiser et ils vont finir par tomber amoureux.

PROS:
+ Série très japonaise : thème, rituels, comportements très codifiés, etc. et format de la série (8 épisodes)
+ Romance très très cute.
+ Petite touche d'humour avec les pensées de la FL, cocasses. De plus, ce personnage n'est pas "l'innocente", naïve voire idiote, que les Doramas aiment trop souvent mettre en avant.

CONS:
- J'aurai aimé que la ending soit un peu plus romantique.

=> Série courte et sympa.

Engraçado e bom para passar o tempo

Comecei esse dorama pois fazia muito tempo que não via jdramas! Eles são conhecidos por clichês e esse aqui não foge desse "estereótipo"!
A história é meio sem sentido mas é um romcom rápido, então as cenas entre o casal principal e demais dinâmicas compensam isso! Eu gostaria que fosse mais longo e tivesse mais episódios para explorar mais da vida de casado deles...
A química entre os atores é muito boa! Então você as vezes pode até sentir um frio na barriga ao assistir as cenas!
Super recomendo para assistir se você quiser algo rápido, engraçado e clichê para assistir.
