I stumbled upon this Jdrama largely because the marriage/cohabitation trope is one I always enjoy. I typically watch kdramas, but in the recent weeks I've been veering more into jdrama and even some cdrama.

This drama was enjoyable and truly captured the turmoil involved in a new couple coming to know one another after marriage. While the lead couple's struggle is heightened exponentially by marrying before coming to know one another, I think living together and/or getting used to another role is always challenging. This drama reveals all the messiness of becoming accustomed to someone else.

Both lead actors were terrific. The FL was so beautiful and graceful while the ML's gruffness and rigidity played so well. If anything, I wish the ML would have toned his staunch and exaggerated personality down just a little. I understand this is who he was but it became rather ridiculous at times...and I wish he could have gotten over it and kissed her. Gah! The lack of skinship made me crazy. Jdramas are typically so much farther ahead in this area.

It became a bit draggy with the secondary characters. I suppose I just didn't care enough about them.

Overall, I'm glad it was rather short and a quick binge.
