Imai Karen has the most stunning looks and has toyed with many men. She works hard as a PR professional for a cosmetics company, and her work and private life are fulfilling, but she has not been able to overcome her past trauma and has told herself that it is pointless to fall in love seriously. One day, at a drinking party with friends, she meets a dull-looking guy named Domae Teito, who is wearing glasses. Karen is turned on by Teito's cunning attacks and does not flinch, so she tries everything she can to win him over, but he does not respond at all. And from that day on, a series of coincidences occur and Karen gradually gets to know Teito's personality. Karen is sexually uninhibited, but Teito is straightforward and tells her, "You should take care of yourself," and before she knows it, her heart begins to move. "I was planning to toy with him, but now I'm being toyed with by him---!?" A heartwarming love comedy about a protagonist who was unable to fall in love seriously due to her past trauma, but is toyed with by a younger virgin boy with no dating experience!

I've Played These Games Before
This drama is fine if you're looking for a light watch and it's probably foolish to expect anything deeper out of it, but it's just soooooooo unoriginal. It tricks you into thinking it's changing things up by making the FL the promiscuous one and the ML the pure and innocent one, but besides the gender swap, the story beats are exactly the same as any generic teen romance - and yes, teen and not adult because besides them saying the word "sex" and the FL having a FWB, the romance is extremely PG, with all the typical shoujo manga tropes - Sharing a room/bed (more than once)! Caring for you when you're sick! Random free tickets to go on an aquarium date!What really irks me is the FL lead being set up as an empowered, sex-positive girlboss, but in the end, the drama suggests that the only way for her to be truly happy is to "respect" herself by casting aside her casual relationships and settling down with the young virgin who accepts her despite her history. And of course, no age-gap romance is complete without the characters having known each other as kids, like PLEASE can romance mangakas diversify already?? The amount of dramas I've seen that use that exact set-up is getting excessive.
The two leads are cute and their acting is fine, but they don't really have that much chemistry. I honestly wanted Karen to get with Yuto and Teito to get with his kouhai lol. At the very least, I will say this drama doesn't really drag and went by surprisingly fast.
