a decent binge-watch with a cute

I probably won't watch this again but it was bingeable for one day and I saw a few clips of the kissing scenes and was interested to see what the show was about(this was my first Japanese show btw.) I watched this purely for the erotica, so I wasn't surprised about the lack of depth or development in the characters.

The plot was full of cliches and isn't really that strong. It’s very fan-fictiony but that works for a lot of people.

The characters were ok. The ML was such eye candy. I don't blame the female lead for being shy in front of him cause gurl same. I was like ? whenever he had any scene with Risa. I personally like their intimate scenes. They're not bad at all. I read complaints about Risa being too stiff and unnatural but that's in line with her character. She's supposed to be shy and innocent and inexperienced with intimacy, so her actions are kinda on brand. She becomes somewhat mature and starts to take stepping stones to adult moves towards the end so that's good I guess lol. The boy who had a crush on the FL and the FL's best friend were kinda just there. And that other CEO guy was just plain weird. I have no idea why he would try to kiss Risa.

The romance is undoubtedly the strongest point in this drama. The skinship was great too. Although it was excessive I really like how Fukami gives Risa back hugs almost every time he sees her. Dori Sakurada was so natural with the kissing and intimate scenes. I'm sure he's very experienced in real life(just an educated guess). Giving this a 6.5 out of 10.
