Ridiculously fun. Green flag Leads. Great cast

The plot is ridiculous and exaggerating, which is obviously understandable, as this series is adapted from a comedy shoujo manga. I think it was fun, if we don’t take it so seriously or try to analyze its logic.

The cast is gold. I adore all of them. Surprisingly, all of my favorite actors and actresses gathered together in the same project, and that’s a comedy high school shoujo drama. This drama is amusing to me mainly because of them.

The leads are both green flags. I think they have probably one of the sweetest personalities among a lot of leads in other shoujo mangas and Japanese dramas. The otomen guys are so soft and caring, while the female lead is strong, sincere, straightforward, kind-hearted and has such a pure heart. I love most of the characters, except for the male lead’s parents, and some side characters. And I completely adore our leads Asuka-chan and Ryo-chan. Kaho’s character in this drama is so lovely. Every time Ryo-chan smiled, I can feel that she was smiling from her heart and I totally understand why Asuka-chan fell in love with her at first sight. Their relationship is so pure and their feelings towards each other very slowly develop through friendship. I like that, but I just felt that process took a little longer than I had expected. However, this is also understandable in Japanese high school shoujo dramas, especially when the leads are both shy and pure as oxygen lol.

I can imagine the cast how much fun the cast would feel when filming this series. I enjoyed a lot of their comedic performances. I specifically got secondhand embarrassment to watch the little princess that appeared in the last 2 episodes. I bet she must cringe so much while wearing that princess outfit of hers and speaking all her lines. She actually looked and behaved like a 10-year-old kid to me, not a 17-year-old teenage girl.
