I didn't pass the patience test...

Even with short 20-minute episodes, it's difficult to have the patience to continue watching. I couldn't get past the fourth episode. I decided to watch this because I liked Watanabe Keisuke in Kamen Rider Zi-O and because I found the synopsis interesting. but in practice...

What we have here is an extremely boring couple who talk about their fears and frustrations with other people instead of being honest with each other. We start with ML... he is the one who asks to start a relationship with FL, but why didn't he make it clear from the first moment that he didn't want any kind of intimate physical contact? Did he think she would want to play holding hands forever?

Meanwhile, FL talked about her frustration with co-workers without any filter, and the way the entire episode revolved around the word 'sex' made for an irritating watching experience.

Now, you see, ML wasn't a virgin, but he acted like he was an asexual person. all the more reason why he should have told her that from the beginning. he may not have liked the experience and created a kind of aversion to sex, which wouldn't be out of this world because I'm an asexual person and I understand perfectly.

the fact here is that ML wanted FL as a girlfriend, but felt uncomfortable when she touched him. This could lead the plot to debate the issue of asexuality, instead of showing FL just crazy for literally wanting to devour ML all the time. I've already read spoilers here about them actually having relations, so it's a waste of time watching, because I imagine ML's anguished face in this scene, so I'll pass.

another point to add is: why are most romance drama Fl's so annoying? because they are often scandalous, cry in a way that irritates the viewer's eardrums and are so childish? the fourth wall breaks were unnecessary, and I couldn't feel any depth in Rei's character.
