I am now 2 for 2 with shorter drama series that I pretty much loved. I doubt I can keep up the momentum, but whatever, at least I found "Marry Me!" This is the most precious series and deals with a lot of hidden hurts. Shin and Himari have a long road to happiness and understanding. He takes on the task of marriage as part of his job, and Himari has fallen so far to the bottom of the pile that she's lying on the ground looking up, desperate for someone to save her. Together, they save each other. I love newcomer Rinka Kumada as Himari. I felt the depression and hopelessness in Himari just oozing out of her, just as I rejoiced in every laugh and smile and joyful moment she experienced with Shin. That actress is a marvel and I hope to see more from her in the future. Toshiki Seto is also fabulous as Shin. He brings such a calm steadiness to the role, with lots of authentic facial expressions and mannerisms. While I sometimes appreciate dramas with skinship in them, I'm so glad they didn't go that route for Marry Me!. It would have felt like too much. Instead, the characters are allowed to tell their stories without forced intimacy for ratings. I'm not saying they never touch, but it's a very clean and straight-laced drama. I just came out of it so invested in Shin and Himari's relationship. It felt like watching real people. And this is the first time I've felt like a series with episodes under 30 minutes actually developed a sufficient story. Marry Me! is a drama I will rewatch. It's just too precious not too.
