This is a lighthearted, cute drama that is really easy to watch and requires low commitment, since each episode is just 24 minutes long. I didn't feel ready to commit to a long drama and was looking for something chill and this hit the mark.

It is sort of instalove, but they're a really cute couple with a lot of chemistry and there are lots of kissing/bedroom scenes. From the beginning, she's trying to get his attention and try to make him like her, whereas he's always teasing her and their relationship seemed very natural. Each episode touches on different things in their married life as they get used to each other and grow in their relationship and it's a drama that's very easy to watch and doesn't require any deep thinking since there's not really a plot.

Despite it being a fluffy drama, there's also substance and I like that they grow as people and in understanding each other. The struggles that they face seem realistic to a new couple as well, especially since they were strangers.

The only thing I found kind of weird was how quickly the FL lead said I love you, but I think that maybe it was a mistranslation. I don't speak any Japanese but found it a bit strange so I googled and she said Suki da 好きだ, which can mean I like you / I love you depending on context. I also had to wait a bit for the last few episodes since the eng subs weren't out yet, but the episodes are all subbed now!

There's also a random masseuse in the show that doesn't add much to the plot, but he is very good looking.


7.5-8
