I found the 1st episode rlly amusing, but I think it was part to shell shock. When I get surprised, I laugh. When FL Yui-chan is in the bar, lamenting about a lost love, and it's filmed in fish bowl POV, where she's feeding a mystery person at eye level etc - and then u find out she's mourning her DOG - i was so surprised, I burst out laughing. The laughing ctd, when she tripped CEO up, and he declares his love for her the next day, while wishing to be her slave. Whenever she kicks, presses him to the ground with her foot, body-threw him, he appeared more and more besotted. So when I watched 1st episode, I told myself I was alright with it, coz it was comedic. He appeared to get off on being man-handled and humiliated and degraded.

By ep 2, I was no longer laughing.
At the end of the day, when he turned up outside her flat in 3hr wait with roses, he is a creepy stalker. Yet, he is also opening himself up to a lot of abuse. If he gets off on being slapped around, there's a point I stop laughing and feel sorry for him. Oc, this drama doesn't ask us to feel sorry, it's just Japanese drama and not everyone has to be "fixed" of their hang-ups but just because someone wants to be slapped around, doesn't mean people should oblige. Till what point will he be someone's b%^&. I know masochism is a thing, and FSOG was a thing, and BDSM is a thing, but ok.

The FL appears very irked by being made his master, and tries to dissuade him, and when she inflicts violence, I don't think she's a bad person per se. I don't think she's strong, or whatever ppl laud her as. And I know she's been thrust into this role unwillingly.

But at this stage, neither of leads are super likeable
BUT since this drama is 25min long x 6, I vowed to finish it, and also it#s not that boring. I felt like I was on an acid trip, where situations and scenes are so absurd, like painting a face with ketchup and hanging out in a tree etc, sliding face down a banister (honestly never seen THAT before, the way he did it) and THAT is an appeal so that also helps me keep watching.

I think the opening titles and song is kinda catchy. Simple, effective and i never miss it. easily the best of each episode

Overall, i don't regret watching it
Even if I gave it a 1
It just didn't turn out as funny as I hoped
