Riso no Kareshi (2022)

Very good cast but average in story towards love.

Until episode 7 its story is going in good pace mixed with betrayal love and slight romance. Its slight disappointing that story make love as a multiple choice question for actress who doesn't resist anyone towards approach her. Its makes bad impression on lead actress think of something else. Its finally depends on her who she choose?. If she goes with lead actor who is 'jin' cartoon maker than it'll be slightly fair else this drama consider as flop end.
At first I had lots of expectations by reading synopsis but as episode approach further it gets love entanglement which ultimately being down romantic angle. To much bees approach towards flower which ultimately ruined flower and story just like "To much cook spoil the food" .

It’s not life-changing. But it’s cute for binge watching

This is one of those dramas you can finish in a single day without even realizing it. It’s only eight episodes, about twenty minutes each, and the story moves quickly. Nothing drags, nothing feels heavy. It’s an easy watch.
The plot itself isn’t groundbreaking. We’ve definitely seen variations of this story before.

Plot**
It follows Yumeko, a successful career woman who seems to have it all together. She looks polished, confident, almost perfect. But behind closed doors, she’s the complete opposite. She obsesses over how people perceive her, carefully managing her image because of how introverted she is and because of the scars she still carries from being an outcast in high school.
She’s expecting a proposal from her boyfriend… only to be unexpectedly dumped instead. And honestly, that shift happens fast. While dealing with heartbreak, she reconnects with a young guy she once helped someone who happens to resemble her first love. In a vulnerable moment, when he asks what he can do for her, she blurts out a request: be her ideal boyfriend.
And just like that, they begin a contract relationship.

It’s not an intense drama. The story is simple, almost predictable. You can see where it’s heading from early on. But what genuinely surprised me was the acting. The performances are much stronger than I expected for a light, short-format drama like this. The actors really sell the emotions, even when the plot feels familiar. They elevate material that, on paper, isn’t particularly original.
Still, good acting can only carry a known storyline so far.

Overall, I’d say this is the kind of drama you watch when you don’t want to think too much but still want something entertaining and soft. It’s low-commitment, easy to binge, and visually quite dreamy. The cinematography has this gentle, cute aesthetic that matches the tone perfectly
