very fast-paced, terribly cute and fluffy romance with a lot of skinship
I watched this drama and had very mixed feelings about it at times. After watching it, I find that it's best to watch this drama with the thought that some of these things are nonsense. It's a very fast-paced, terribly cute and fluffy romance with a lot of skinship.For some, the constant mention that FL is cute and her intentionally cute behavior can be irritating. For me, it was sometimes so unserious, but it did not negatively affect my perception of the drama.
However, I think there was quite a lot of emphasis on communication between the main characters in the drama, which is always a plus. Of course, at first they were a bit awkward around each other and couldn't talk freely, but over time that changed and it was shown that communication in a relationship is always important.
Overall, I had a good time watching this drama and would recommend it to anyone who happens to be in the mood for something cute without an overwhelming plot.

Do you want a short, cute, fun watch and without much drama? This is the watch for you.
I came into this thinking it would be stupid and it actually wasn't stupid at all. The humor landed and it was very fluffy I left not hating any characters I will give it a good 9.I really liked this premise I'm a sucker for marriage of convenience turned real lovers or married at first sight and fall in love ORRR drunk one night and end up getting married.
Bc its finals week and I don't have much time to write.
The only thing I'll note is the slight cultural differences I noticed while watching. In Japan is cunning a word that you'd use so often? Even going to call yourself cunning??

Cute
The two main actors gave a good performance and I really liked the plot in this drama. While the idea is quite typical, I must say, it's very well executed. The drama is exactly what it says in the description. Two people get married and fall in love with each other. Of course, there are some problems in the course of time, but they get resolved.This drama is for those who just want to see a cheesy/sweet love story. Not too much drama. No second-lead syndrome. It's just about the development of a relationship between the two main characters. And just that, was very enjoyable to watch.

Good romance, bubbly, lot of romantic scenes
This drama is romance and romance only- and it’s great. The length is perfect, and the plot isn’t awfully complicated but is still interesting. There are a lot of skinship scenes (if you like that!) and no toxicity, just a pure relationship with understanding and communication. It’s a good watch and you’ll find yourself smiling at your phone multiple times. It’s also a great binge and great if your just looking for something to watch in one go. You should definitely watch this and i hope you enjoy it as much as i did.Was this review helpful to you?

Three words to describe this drama: short, sweet and sexy. The premise sounded simple enough: two people meeting on an app intending to marry because of different reasons other than love, find out they work for the same company and fall in love in the process. Nothing ground breaking here, but both lead actors were natural in their roles. The rest of the cast also did their bit parts, expressing their interests in the MC’s. A decent watch that does not need too many brain cells to process, but enough to put a smile on your face. Was this review helpful to you?

Fluffiness & skinship
It's my first Japanese Drama, I won't sugarcoat things but if you want to watch a lot of skinship with a simple storyline go for it, it's a fluffy story but for me only when it started like 3-4 episodes, even full-fledged dramas don't have this much skinship and bed scenes. Usually, as the audience, we wait for character development and then for their first kiss, skinship, and bed scene but there is not much character development, it felt like I missed 2-3 episodes, there are chances of adding a few more episodes to it. The actor's acting was good, I won't blame them but the storyline, which I felt could be longer.I agree the way their marriage started is not real, but the way they showed a newly married couple, I liked that, all the romance, slowly knowing each other, starting to understand each other and all the stuff newly married do. If you like to watch the life of a newlywed couple or if you want to watch a romantic movie or something, it's a size of a movie😊, then go for it. Happy watching❤️❤️.
It's my personal opinion, please don't take it the other way🙏🙏.

Good Japanese series that will make you happy :)
Please note that there are no spoilers in my review. Just my overall feelings with this series. Plus my first review on this website.This is another good Japanese series. Personally I like to watch Japanese series and movies more than Korean ones, unless that Korean series/movies are based from Japanese (for example, Itazura na Kiss and Hana Yori Dango). I have watched this series so many time already. And never get bored. I like this series so much that I need to have manga. And I finally own manga version that this series is based on. The manga is a translated version, from Japanese to Thai.
If you like to watch Japanese series with romance scenes that will make your heart skip a beat and butterflies in stomach and marriage before love type, then this is a good series for you to watch.

Light hearted rom com
8.5/10 is my rating. This is a 2020 Japanese romantic comedy drama with 7, 24 minute episodes. It was adapted from a manga series “Shanai Marriage Honey” by Fujiwara Emi.
First I provide a synopsis then review
Synopsis
Since his mother is struggling with ill health, Mikuri Manatsu (Itagaki Manatsu) figures his marrige would cheer her up. While he is very popular with the ladies he does not currently have a girlfriend and decides a dating app is the quickest best way to choose a bride. Haruta Ami (Matsui Airi) is just out of a long term relationship and figures the best way to get over a cheater is a new relationship. They both like what they see in their profiles and quickly marry but know very little in terms of details of their new spouse. They are surprised to find they work in the same office and agree to keep it a secret so it doesn’t damage their careers. That becomes easier said than done when they find they are both very popular “singles” in the office. As their feelings grow, so does theor desire to seek each other out at work. How long can they keep their marriage a secret? Can love and a real marriage develop after such an unusual beginning?
Review
Overall this was a very light, feel good romantic comedy. The leads are very attractive and it was easy to envision them as a couple. I liked the premise and the story and characters were well developed. If you want a quick, not overly complex rom com this would fit the bill.
Spoilers
This could have been longer and would have provided the opportunity to give more background and slow build of their romance. I learned things from other synopsis that were not clearly revealed in the show. I liked at the end when they revealed their first meeting and what he thought when she first walked in. It got a bit too sexual for my preference at times. Their chemistry was off the charts so the bedroom scenes, which showed a lot, were a bit cringy for me. I loved how much his mom liked her and how much he loved that his mom liked her. It ended happy and things are wrapped up but it is a whirlwind to get there.

Fluffy fairy tale with a lesson to teach
A simple, even though a little unlikely, story that will entertain you without much effort. But if you go beyond the surface, there's an important lesson to learn, something that is often lacking in tv series (doesn't matter the country): problems and obstacles can be overcome with honesty and by speaking one's mind. To keep your feelings, thoughts and fears to yourselves can only lead go missunderstandigs and ruin a possible good relationship.Talking about the characters, FL was a little exasperated, over the top. I found her sweet, but bothersome at times.

A Whole Green Forest
The most cutest and sweetest love story ever.Let me tell you, japanese dramas never disappoint. Miura isn’t just a green flag guy, he’s literally the whole forest. Ami is so freaking cute, i love her so much.
Is this story kinda of cliché? Yes. Would watch is over and over again? Also yes. Is this drama going to be the cause of your upcoming diabetes? Absolutely. But is all worthy.
Is sincerely so mean that this drama only has 7 episodes and how small they are.
Miura and Ami’s love story is genuine and funny and cute. He absolutely has a hard time dealing with his wife cutenesses. The way their relationship dynamics change (always for better), ando how they get to know each other and learn how to be in a relationship is so damn beautiful.
I love how their meeting is literally destiny, they both needed each other. You can see the chemistry between them and the actors are all absolutely cute and pretty.
Would recommend this even to my worst enemy. 10/10.

The characters are absolutely adorable and likeable! I expected the usual obstacles, like jealous co-workers or an annoying ex coming back, but the show turned everything into a wholesome experience, because the support characters are...so supporting! its so fluffy, light and so much fun to watch. The female lead is really charming, cunning and cute! Their bickering and teasing was so so entertaining and i was so sad, when i already reached the last episode. their chemistry is so cute. they had a lot of skinship, which i didnt expect at first, but i was very happy about it. :D they act natural and it was delightful to see them together. the only reason i have 9.5 instead of 10 is because their skinship was a bit one dimensional. its really just a tiny thing to pick on.
the ost is also very great! so catchy and perfectly fitting for the show. i loved the opening scene where they all dance. so much eye-candy!! and it was fun to see some actors that i already knew from other shows.
edit some time after finishing the drama: i still get happy everytime i listen to the ost!! c:
