Really slow moving ...
I did watch the entire series, but at times it was very difficult to stay with it. It's basically watching the female protagonist's diary play out on screen. As she makes each entry on a new relationship, that's another episode! She shows herself to have a real problem with what a relationship is all about. Finding the right person seems an impossible task, and when she does find the right man ... she cheats on him like crazy.
Hana Sugisaki must have gained weight during this production ... her character never stops eating. I mean, if you like watching someone eat, this series is for you. Practically every scene involved her eating a meal with someone or by herself. Breakfast at home, lunch at cafes, dinner at restaurants, a late meal at a bar with drinks. It's just non stop eating, and not the kind of stuff where the food is in front of her, but mouthful after mouthful in between dialogue. It either makes you hungry or makes you nauseous.
Nevertheless ... there were some interesting points during the series, so I found myself wanting to continue to watch, just to see how it all played out. In the end it kind of finishes up the way you expected it to, no real surprises. I wouldn't give it high marks, but the acting is very real and genuine, so definitely thumbs up to the actors.
