In the comments people keep saying they aren't blood related, but, in fact, they ARE. Naoko's father WAS his older brother, but Masato was adopted by relatives when he was younger and came to visit his brother & home town when he could. SO, they weren't raised together but they were blood-related for sure. Naoko & Masato were (by blood) uncle/niece.
this show could have literally been 1/2 the episodes instead of sooooo many that seemed super boring. It takes 19 episode before the ML finally looks like he has human emotions to express and "kind of likes" the FL. Too long of a development for a romance show!
"A Romantic Comedy" has got to be the most misleading synopsis I've read so far. This is one of the most heart-wrenching romance/melodramas I've ever watched. It is in NO way a light & fluffy ROMCOM. -_- Yikes!
LOVED. Such a cute show with lovely actors/actresses! P.S. As an FYI: You should watch with Eng subtitles on YT. I found in the first 3 min of ep 1 on another site that their Eng subs were NOT good. YouTube's are wayyyy better. <3
by the end of this I really wanted to punch the ML in the face to wipe that ridiculous smirk off his face. What an ass. I don't think I've ever hated a ML quite so much. UGH.
episode 10 has got to be the most glossed-over case of rape I've ever seen in a show. I was enjoying it up until that point and now I want to f*n murder the ML. He's acting like it was his right and smiling/enjoying that he did it. Disgusting how this was written :/
I agree with the previous comment. REMAKE with an age gap, but a more attractive/younger ML. Also, writers need to make us at LEAST like the ML a teensy bit. Or allow the FML to see his inner struggle/tenderness/pain a wee bit before making her stupidly out of the blue fall for her abuser/tormentor. The way the ML was written in this show, who gives a flying F^$k what happens if the ML is such a despicable, manipulative bastard until the very end? I don't. *shrugs*
yeah, I'm going to stick by my review so far on this. They drug out the "reason" they couldn't get together farrrrrrr too long and then we MAY have a rushed HEA. This much emotional turmoil and angst looks like even the majority of the final episode. Bleh. 16 episodes might have been better or imho they should have shortened it to 10-12 and cut out all the blah blah blah of the Ex's drama that really did NOTHING for the plot/movement of the storyline. This could have been done SO much better with these great actors and fabulous steaminess. Bad writing and pacing killed this show. STILL... I enjoyed watching for what it's worth.
