This was bad, but I have been that girl and had similar toxic relationships, but they should stop being glamorised in tv series anymore; we are no longer in the early 2000s.

Currently watching. Kento slaying as usual.

Thanks for your hard work! I appreciate the work on all the news published on the site, but it would be amazing if it weren't only about K-dramas. I am very happy you wrote this article. I only watch Japanese dramas, so realistically, I have no interest in the other news. This was a nice change

wow finally one piece of news about a japanese drama on this site!

American rioting about stuff like that were pre trump 2nd term, now kinda looks like the opposite to me.

he made her Onigiri when they first met hence why the name also her friend calls him that.

Rin is annoying me. The preview for episode 6 suggests she's being unreasonable about her "I want to know everything about you" issues. Yes, they are a couple. Yes, Taiga's communication could be better, yes to so many things, but cmon, she is really stretching now. Her expectations are also so selfish, and she misunderstands his real feelings about her graduation, which he knows will mean for them as a couple. I mean, that scene was so obvious to me. His face was so obvious, but he tried not to be a burden to her.

Best kiss scene ever!

Hopefully Netflix will pick this up.

of the 50 jdrama i watched over two years i probably watched only 3 with cheating as the main plotline. Not sure what you watched.

Still waiting for Ep 3 to be subbed :(

I didn't expect to like it. I usually avoid anything older than 2016. I only watched it because of Fukushi-san, and well, it's on Prime Video, so why not? I was surprised that I really enjoyed it; it was funny and hilarious at times. I laughed a lot. Yes, FL was servile as someone else mentioned, but she was born into a very strict family. Once you understand how her father raised her, starting with modest clothes and continuing with other aspects, you understand why she behaves that way. There is character growth during the series, and she changes but never loses her true identity. The ML is not so selfish as someone below said he actually did want to take on the job offer and stay in Tokyo for her before she broke up with him and pushed him to go abroad to study.

I finally had time to watch it over the weekend at home, while feeling unwell and building new chairs. If I were building furniture, it meant I was bored while watching it, because I was really ill. So, I decided not to waste my entire day binge-watching this without doing something useful. Dragged on for too long with unbelievable brain masturbation. I do overthink, and I am neurodivergent and have a complex mental health diagnosis, but those people, Jesus. It isn't a rom-com; it isn't even romantic; it is brainy. It does make you think. There are lessons to be learnt but by the end you wish you could slap the faces of the characters.

that empty place cracked me up

Well said, i keep seeing posts, comments making blanket statements about Japanese dramas, culture and society and is concerning.

It's so funny!

The fact you making this one drama the scapegoat to attack Japanese society is mind blowing. Above i wrote i gave you a list of recent, contemporary series that don't use the young girl older guy trope. Also let's this sink in - The U.S. Virgin Islands had 200,000 minors married between 2000 and 2015. But of course is AmOrica so we not attacking them for the systemic violence on black people, women rights being reversed and so on. I am not sure where you are from but right now Japan looks a better place than most European countries and the USA where the christian conservatives have basically started a civil war and far rights leader are eroding women's rights. Also a reminder about South korea, they impeched President Yoon Suk Yeol who declared martial law, remove funding for women, reverted human rights and so on. Now they elected a progressive but still for LGBTQ+ rights for example both countries are still behind. Both Japan and South Korea do not legally recognize same-sex marriage, but both are experiencing growing judicial and municipal pressure to change, with Japan utilizing partnership certificates and South Korea seeing landmark court recognition of spousal rights. While Japan lags in national law, hundreds of local areas offer partnership systems, whereas South Korea’s recognition is currently developing through case-by-case court decisions. women's rights, wage gap are the same pretty much, south korea was has a more active movement than Japan but both lack and have deep rooted issues with women. regarding sex, raper etc i mean south korea isn't better i am sure you know South korea age of consent is 16 and right now the number of online sex crimes targeting children and teens in South Korea has nearly doubled in just one year. Japan has changed the definition of rape to include "non-consensual sexual intercourse" from "forcible sexual intercourse", aligning Japanese law's definition with other countries. South Korean law is still only focused on forcible sexual intercourse, does not include non consent, a woman still needs proof of inability to resist. China is a better actually than SK. Before attacking an entire country let's look at the rest of the world on how they dealing with the same issues. China, Japan, and South Korea share a foundation of Confucian patriarchal traditions, which have shaped their women's rights.

Nakano On is sooo good with all his partners, wow, He could have chemistry with a tree. He should have bigger main lead roles in more mainstream dramas.

Coffee & Vanilla? so also light and funny not just sexy?

I finally had the courage to watch it. Superb acting, heartbreaking and sweet. Cried my eyes out and cannot stop thinking about it and crying. :(
