better in the second half
Overall: I have mixed feelings about this series. Adapted from a manga (and then also an anime) which I haven't read and am reviewing the series based on its own merits. Aired on GagaOOLala (not in Japan or South Korea) https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/6645/unexpectedly-naughty-fukami-2026 and TVer in Japan.
Content Warning: dub con kiss
What I Liked
- different personalities
- easy to understand premise
- that both were into physical intimacy*
- there was character growth
- supportive sister
- non cliched ending/able to communicate and solve their problem
Room For Improvement
- *the intimacy and chemistry didn't work in the first half, they had too much space between their bodies, there were dead fish lip presses
- not sure if there was a translation error, but a character said not to do something and then the other character did it
- voiced inner thoughts
- a character was very rude/shallow in the first half, he named the other character "loser" in his phone contacts, I suggest starting at episode 5 2 minutes in to skip most of him being a jerk
- showing a gaggle of women at the workplace thirsting over a character
- multiple flashback montages
