There are better Jdramas out their to spend your time on.
Overall
I do not recommend watching this. The story is pretty bad and it's basically just a bunch of clichés put together and call a plot.
Story
This story was pretty bad. To start out with, she falls in love with a guy who she doesn't know because he helps her get away from guys hitting on her by taking her out on a date and after spending the night together seems schechy and not honest. Seems realistic asf, right? Now, make this all happen in one afternoon and you have the first episode. After that bad premise, the show brings in two other guys that are interested in her in the next two episodes and does virtually nothing with them after that. After this, the show becomes a series of damsels in distress situations, and the ML always, ALWAYS, finds a way to save her, even if he is in Hong Kong and she is in Japan. Sprinkle in there two more love triangles and that your story.
So now let talk about the characters. Risa is a pretty and young college girl that has all the single guys dying to talk with her and she doesn't allow it. Later on, we find out that she actually thinks very little about herself and actually does not think she is enough for Fukami. On the other hand, Fukami is an obsessed 30-year old that wants this girl he doesn't really know, and once he dates her treats her like his personal pet or object. These are the basics of the two leads
So to recap, this is a love story, with a romance that is faster than the flash, between a girl with no self-esteem and a man who is obsessed with her. This couple then goes through 4 love triangles and many situations where the girl needs to be rescued by the man.
Acting/Cast
Why do they cast a young-looking actor to play a 30-year-old? I know that Sakurada Dori was 27 at the time of filming but this man literally looks like still isn't legally supposed to drink if he was in America. This really takes away from the believability of the drama. Other than that, both Sakurada Dori and Fukuhara Haruka are good actors, although I think I have seen them act better in other works that they are in.
I do not recommend watching this. The story is pretty bad and it's basically just a bunch of clichés put together and call a plot.
