8 episodes in, it is somewhat tropey and cliched but the execution is done just right that makes the romance swoony and satisfying. I am enjoying this for the light entertainment it brings me.
E7. Beautifully real and moving. I think everybody would relate to Kurumi and her mum's relationship. Sometimes we say things that may be harsh, but at the end of the day, we always want the best for the people we love.
I am absolutely loving how the love triangle is playing out in this drama. It is so so refreshing, and believable.
Kurumi and Shun's relationship is developing beautifully, at just the right pace with both of them learning to trust each other and communicating their feelings, insecurities & sharing the little joys & pain of being together. It's GOALS but in a real way.
Not a fan of the therapist and Hase getting into a relationship since she was a client, but it's a drama so I guess whatever..
J dramas this year have been freaking amazing. They're always good but this year has some of my favorites :)
well in the new version, poor lady at least got somewhat of a happy ending
Haha yes she is. She was an extremely popular and brilliant actress from the 90s. Please do watch more of her work from the 90s. I absolutely love her.
E6. Damn I love Shun, but I definitely fell for Hayama too, like I can totally see why Mashiba admired him for so long. I would, too. It was really inspiring to see him live 'today'. Most of us don't do that, and put our dreams/plans on hold for a tomorrow, which Hayama rightfully said may never come. Too bad that came in between his love for Kurumi, but still I appreciated that he didn't use his feelings to tie her down, knowing fully well that he is not in the space currently where he wants to be tied down or make false promises. And I think Kurumi fully understands that even though Hayama never said it outrightly. It seems like Shun adopted a minimal lifestyle as a defence mechanism, that he uses to remind himself not to be tied to anything, be it people or things. I love how Kurumi was able to sense that, and communicated her feelings to him directly. I love that she constantly communicates and is very clear-headed.
E5. I wanna slap that male president. I absolutely loved Omameda Towako's reply to him. You may have failures in life, but there is no such thing as a failed life. GO WOMAN!
Seriously, this will go down as one of my favourite rom-coms. I appreciate how they keep proving us wrong with…
Also had to mention that the casting for the younger leads is PERFECT. Like young Karibe, Jun, Minami, Aiko actually look like the older actors, esp Karibe :)
Seriously, this will go down as one of my favourite rom-coms. I appreciate how they keep proving us wrong with each episode (misleading previews).. like if I had to plot this show in a graph, it would be an upward trend all the way. It just kept getting better with each episode.
On to the episode, I loved the focus on Karibe & Kogo’s relationship, and how it came to be. It was really moving. And Karibe’s sincere confession to Aiko, it stole my heart really. Appreciate how we came full circle on Karibe’s comment that romance isn’t something he does, rather something he draws. That ending was absolutely PERFECT. The side characters are really fun too. They’re likeable and quirky.
I’m gonna miss this a lot when it ends next week. Hope Ren gets his happy ending too hehehheee
1 minute and trash can. Ishihara Satomi deserves so much better than this ...
I’ve been watching dramas for 20+ years & I’ve never been able to tell how good or bad a drama is within 1 minute.. I don’t expect you to love it the way I do but judging a drama based on it’s first minute is not fair. This is just my opinion.
