Ridiculously Exaggerated, Even For A Fantasy.

It's written, acted, and directed like a middle schooler's idea of porn. I barely made it through 1.5 episodes (rolling my eyes almost the entire time) before dropping.

The cinematography is gorgeous but everything else is aggressively awful. The "physical intimacy" is more like an attack by a boy who has never had sex before and doesn't know what he's doing. It wasn't seductive or enticing at all. It further erroded the "I'm a cool, competent, and manly mafia leader" facade they were going for. The male lead is trying so, so hard to look and sound cool that it has the opposite effect and had me laughing. Even for a short format fantasy, the falling in love part is so fast that there's no romance to it. Almost every line is cloyingly cliché.

It was cheesy and horrible but didn't leave any mental scars so it gets a 2.

An Insane Thrill Ride

Most other reviews have touched on this I think but the story really is that rushed, that crazy and that bad. All in all though, it's so, so fun! I love the actors and the small moments of chemistry they do get are usually very sweet. The production and the dramatization of some scenes I could really do without though. I think it took a lot away from the main story even though that's apparently very common in most Japanese Dramas.

A primeira impressão que eu tive foi que era semelhante ao The Yakuza Boss's Beloved (2025), pensei até que este citado poderia ser um remake, mas não. Koi To Dangan tem a temática Yakuza um pouco mais intensa e real na questão da gangue, porque a todo instante o ML e a FL são confrontados com a realidade de que "se eu ainda estiver vivo, eu te ligo", então eu gostei de que no final foi abrupto, no sentido de ter um "felizes para sempre", e sim ela, ainda com medo, mas querendo permanecer.
Algumas atuações dos personagens secundários são bem caricatas, principalmente quando a cena muda para mostrar o "interior" de cada personagem, com aqueles jogos de luzes e close mais intensificado. Mas é interessante ver como cada personagem é mostrado em sua essência. O ML tem o feixe de luz azul/frio/sombrio, a FL mais alaranjado/quente/vivo, mas quando juntos, há sakuras e muito roxo nas cenas mais íntimas.
De tanto que falaram que o drama era ruim, eu imaginei o pior cenário do mundo, mas confesso que de tanta coisa que já consumi nestes anos de dramas isso não é o pior cenário não, e maratonei sem nem piscar porque adoro a temática mesmo.

Só não entendi muito o personagem Cemilio, porque foi apresentado bem tarde no drama, então talvez mais um episódio para explicá-lo melhor, teria me agradado mais.
