Weird tone, poor storytelling, totally unrealistic behavior

It's trying to be a lot of things at once--comedy, romcom, gangster flick--and fails to be any of them.

I don't need everything I watch to be 100% authentic/realistic, but I need SOMETHING that feels genuine or is even remotely convincing and Kiseki just doesn't give me anything. On top of that, everything is extremely rushed to the point of absurdity. If a guy randomly blackmails you to take care of him otherwise he will *frame you for murder,* you're not breathless with attraction in two days. (The framing threat, btw, is unbelievably stupid. Fingerprints on a knife will not single-handedly convict someone with no record, motive, connection to the victim, or presence at the crime scene. Like, be serious.) I can turn my brain off and have fun, but only to a certain extent apparently.

No coherent plot, no chemistry, no clear identity, it's a mess. Ever seen a movie on the Hallmark channel? This is that bad. Though I guess if you think Hallmark is great then you'll love this.
