This is why one should be careful when adapting a manga
It is a mediocre drama full of cliches. But this isn't the problem.
What i didnt like about this live action is that they kept the key points but made them weaker. In the manga Hase and Momo fall in love at first sight which leads them to passionately kiss and unable to stay away from each other they start a relationship in which they BOTH take initiative. Their wish is to be close, live together and make a home for the two of them and their cat.(sidenote:WHERE IS THE CAT?) Buuut this doesnt get shown as such in the drama but rather it is shown as "lets just live together for the plot"
In the manga Momo is kind but never to the point you can call her an idiot. She is gentle but she knows what she wants in her relationship with Hase. Sure they have a lot of skinship and intimate moments but in no case would you think Hase had the upper hand in anything. In fact he was whipped for her since day one. In the drama it is shown but it gets buried underneath the ridiculousness, though it emerges every now and then.
That is my main complaint about this drama,especially in the beginning. That little bit of flame was what made the manga so enjoyable and is missed here making this just ok. Too bad because this could have been far better. But what can you do about it?
If you haven't read the manga though, you are in a mood for something fluff and you don't overthink the plot much there is a chance you'll enjoy watching it. ^^
