What even was that?
I have this listed as a comedy because I refuse to believe this is meant to be played straight. Like it's so ridiculous and stupid in it's execution that it can only be a parody. But no.... this is meant to be a straight (as in serious) romance and well it's just not.
First I'll list some positives about it.
- It has some, good cinematography. The changes between the scenes were really smooth and from what I saw of the manga (at the end of each episode) were pretty faithful.
- The villain towards the end was hamming it up, made me especially laugh.
- Some of the lines were pure cheese, but were unintentionally funny and that's really what made me watch it in the first place.
That's about it, the bad mix of the lead actors (in fairness they had a terrible script to begin with so I don't really blame them) terrible writing, the sound mix was off (someone would be walking on carpet but it would sound like they were walking on hardwood.) and the fact that I just couldn't take this as a serious story, it was just too hammy and too cheesy that they should have gone for either a more serious tone, or went full on parody. I skipped most of the end because it wasn't funny anymore and was just being a try-hard and failing miserably. The only reason I gave it a 5.5/10 is because there was an even worse jdrama ( Kanpeki Waifu ni Yoru Kanpeki na Fukushuu Keikaku) that wasn't even trying to act and made this one seem good by comparison.
