Is this drama supposed to show us something more? Should I delve deeper or should I just take it as a light stupid comedy? That’s the feeling I get during this whole drama.

The pacing is good, the acting is good, the timing and writing of the comedy is good, the atmosphere, camera work, the music, everything is so nice, sometimes even better than some high profile J-dramas. But, what’s with this overly stupid, annoying, over the top characterization of the two main lead? It’s just so unbelievable how stupid they are.

But somehow, it kinda get me thinking about the so called NEET problem they have in Japan. Is this series supposed to make people see how awful a NEET is and deter you to be one? It surely get me thinking how I’d hate it so much to be as useless as the male lead or as stupid as the female lead. D*mn, it even made me want to show it to my kids in the future to prevent them from being like that ?.

Kubota’s acting is as great as usual it got me wonder, did he just picked the wrong script? Or was the movie really supposed to have an important message like I said before? I like all the supporting characters: Dr. Ikeme, the FL colleagues, the izakaya owner.. it’s only.. it’s only.. the stupidity of the two main lead!!

But as annoying as they are, I enjoyed the series and kinda get some lesson out of it. If you could open your mind to throw away all expectation about how gender should play what role in society, there’s a chance you can enjoy this drama.
