A Satirical Drama to Show Stereotypes

I just made this account recently but I finished watching this series a year ago and I have mixed feelings for this drama. This drama felt like a fever dream to me during the time that I watched it. During the first episode, I thought that this will only be like a typical “rent-a-boyfriend” trope but I guess I'm wrong. When I reached the last two episodes I was really agitated about what is happening between the fl and the ml only to be disappointed that it was the last episode.

So anyways, I have a neutral eh response to this drama. But realizing what this drama shows to the viewers actually made me appreciate this a little more as this drama literally showed all the Asian (or maybe even Western) stereotypes when it comes to women. Like they showed it in EVERY episode. I don't want to list them all down since the other reviews probably showed them already and I'm a little bit late on reviewing this so yeah. And upon realizing those while watching, I was amazed. And guess what? They showed it in a somehow realistic way but still with a hint of Japanese culture or whatsoever.

This drama is full of cliches, cheesy lines and scenarios. Honestly speaking the only reason why I finished watching this is that I thought something will happen in the ending that will make it a happy ending (it somehow happened, but we all can agree that it's not a legal way) and because it's Ryusei Yokohama and I like him. It's my guilty pleasure to watch a drama where girls are being themselves in a realistic and harsh way.

This ends my review. I hope I was able to explain it properly. Is this a great drama? Not much. Should you watch this? Yeah maybe you should try it out.
