I picked this drama up because I had nothing to do and I just... I guess, I wanted to support Araki Yuko. What kept me going are the multiple personalities that were personified, really. It was so much fun. Plus the theme song was sung really enthusiastically by Rei Yasuda. I had expectations when I started it.
The first conflict about Marunouchi Sakura was nothing more than a misunderstanding and then led to the underlying root of them being nothing more than MotoKare Manias themselves and at which they became friends, including Mugi. I liked the friendship they shared and the backstories that brought them together. I liked how honest they were at each other and it showed real emotions people go through as they want to move forward from exes.
However, there were downfalls from this focus, honestly. The story did not reveal an inch as to why Makoto and Yurika broke up in the first place. I kept looking for the reason throughout the story and I just assumed it was out of... a dry season?? ((Kkwontaeggi in Korean; IDK if I spelled it right)) Like, that's it??? There was nothing to it. And because there was nothing to it, they were bound to get back together again anyway, like it was fate for them to go back with each other. Nothing. Special. I didn't like that part... But maybe that's the real thing about the story. Stating the fact that couples could pass through their dry season into a more beautiful and lively season. And with that, if they break through that dry season, they last forever.
Anyway, I guess Yurika and Makoto's story didn't shake me up like Yamashita and Mugi's story. Theirs were, at least, more fun than Yurika and Makoto's, but I long got tired to it because of the reality of it all. Ugh. Careers over love is too real.
Now, skipping over to Sakura's love story, we get to see something refreshing. I didn't expect Shirai to be liking Sakura. That was, maybe, the twist I didn't know I needed throughout the story as the progression became boring and too real and I just inched my way on finishing the series. Well, I guess Sakura and Shirai's story probably saved the series for me.
Well, in the end, I guess, that this story was a fun series to watch like listening to a friend telling a story so animatedly with all the gestures and you go home just feeling that you ate a good meal with that friend. It's not just what I could watch in the long run (Thank goodness it just has 9 eps). I could not rewatch the whole thing, honestly :( I'm sorry to the likers of this series. Maybe slice of life romance with real conflicts are not just for me!

Anyway, thank you for reading my very first review! This has been a pleasure of mine. If there are grammatical errors (lol) then please say so. I appreciate corrections as english is not my native language.
