An awkward, frustrating mess with age gap and creepy dynamics

This story that is supposed to come across as "sexy," but instead just becomes incredibly weird and deeply uncomfortable to watch. To be completely honest, I don't even know why I bothered to finish this show.

An age gap doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing, but in this specific series, it feels entirely wrong. One character is a mature adult, while the other—despite technically being a grown-up—looks and acts like a literal child. Seeing them together in a romantic and sexual relationship gave me nothing but bad vibes, and the older lead genuinely gives off a creepy energy that makes your skin crawl.

Just like many other Japanese romantic dramas, it containes a lot of classic misunderstandings, an extreme fear of confrontation, and an exaggerated caution that is just exhausting to sit through. It wastes so much time and energy on these frustrating clichés. Its To make matters worse, despite the episodes being incredibly short, a massive portion of the runtime is ruined by completely unnecessary recaps and constant flashbacks of things we have already seen.

The production tries hard to sell a provocative, naughty romance, but the actual execution falls completely flat. If you are looking for a well-written, comfortable, and genuinely romantic age-gap story, skip this one. It's just a frustrating and cringey experience that isn't worth your time. There are other, also somewhat bizarre Japanese series with spicy scenes that are still worth a watch if you like the Japanese style of filmmaking, but this one is definitely not one of them.
