😕If you find something truly terrible, scoring it a 7 doesn't make ANY sense - it should be a 4-1 out of 10 score, then. For instance, any time I see critics' reviews of films or TV, terrible things get two, one or even NO stars out of five.
I myself also find this drama too cliched to be enjoyable and the FL is written to be too immature and squeaky-voiced for an aspiring thief. The ML is being typecast and needs to choose more varied roles.

👏Agreed.

There should be a comedy tag, as this is at times intentionally and unintentionally funny (due to the often silly, outlandish editing).
The ML is in ways a retread of his former role in The Heiress.
The FL sounds like a cartoon child character and acts pretty airheaded. Sticking around for figure skating scenes.

Its 🔥! Particularly the scene when he was applying the plaster on her foot😍
I'm just hoping she divorces the husband otherwise that's a waste of build-up between them, tbh.

I was scrolling down to see this comment! Her acting lacks presence and as a result, she's very bland to watch.
Plays her characters very immaturely as well, which grates my nerves.
Lacked chemistry or good kissing abilities in Love Under the Moon with her co-star.

Ah, yeah that is strange how its rated already (unless those rating it understand Japanese)😂

Bravo! 👏 Going to go in my year end list. Ticks almost all of my required boxes for expectations and even exceeded them in some ways. Would've just liked to see the aftermath at the end for some other characters outside of the FL.
A must-watch for those who love slice-of-life where the main characters act as a turning point for each other, just don't expect everything to get tied up in a neat bow at the end (which is pretty much expected and the point of this genre).

Short, historical and comedic? Colour me interested!

He's extremely annoying in the book as well.

👏 Its frustrating watching them drag out their story!
Misunderstandings and the back and forth, endless tug-of-war love triangle is tiresome. I don't care about the high percentage they have, they aren't suited and he already got his chance.

Seems the writers don't know how to develop the OTP as a couple without the arrogant ex showing up, smirking, force kissing her and professing undying love.

There can be conflict without bringing an ex back into the picture!😩I should've seen this coming with the ML's abusive ex sticking around for far too long as well (before leaving for Italy to apparently look for an Italian man to prey upon).

Perhaps, at times, it was tongue-in-cheek humour the director was going for?🤔
Sota tries to look mad by opening his eyes wider ... didn't do anything for me. He was miscast. Accurate comment about the costume!
Takuya however can act ; when he's angry, you can see the fury.

She was useless, pretty much. Reminds me of those video game characters the player has to keep alive like in Prince of Persia.

I'm watching it for the same reason! The supporting couples are interesting as well, particularly the older ones.

😂That's one way of putting it!

Glad you think similarly and that's sad, but unsurprising about the reviews.

Make anything aesthetically pleasing enough (despite the actual substance of what its selling) and they'll almost always be someone defending it😞.

You're welcome and do give it a go and see for yourself - good luck!

I really didn't watch past all of ep 1 as it wasn't my cup of tea as I didn't find it funny whatsoever (would rate it 0/10 for lack of laughs) and wasn't expecting it. It looks low budget as well.
I wouldn't recommend it if you don't like broad, stagey and slapstick humour.
I haven't seen series one either (I would assume watching it would make more sense) and just clicked on this one because I was curious as I normally enjoy historical dramas😆

Ah! Thought as much.
Best thing about it was the cinematography as morally, it was bankrupt.
