All the sweets are served with HOT TEA.
What a dramatic melodrama it was. All the twists, all the angst, all the pain and toxicity served with the most beautiful Japanese sweets. Great combination.
This was not a smart script, but it was for sure entertaining. “Wait what?” was my default reaction to a lot of scenes. Sakura was not the brightest of the bunch, but I appreciated how she was not backing down no matter what. Tsubaki was painfully hot with his kabedons every episode, even if there were no firing neurons in his brain. While the drama did not try to hide who was the evil mastermind even for a second, I appreciate how “who she used” was quite a surprise and twist by the end.
The plot was just a full on crack and they knew it. They warned me from episode one when even the female lead was clearly stating undeniable facts: “Something is wrong with me”. You, male lead, everyone in his family, and me for binging this show in one sitting.
I read that quite a few people were not crazy about the performance of Mizuki Alisa as Tsubaki's mother. I loved it. She delivered that evil mother with over-controlling tendencies and inferiority complex perfectly. All the other actors delivered great performances too. Yokohama Ryusei did not really have to do much with this role - he just had to look hot. Hamabe Minami aced the emotional scenes, though I would maybe like a bit more dramatic reactions here and there.
Overall, I had fun, but I am not fully sure if it was for good reasons :)
