Enjoyable All the Way to the End
Like all great Japanese dramas, this one explores the complexities of romantic relationships and the nuances of inner turmoil. What happens to people and how do they react when they begin to realize what "dependence" does to their individual identities?What I loved:
- the understated and very realistic acting by the entire ensemble cast
- no anime-like comedic tropes
- the exploration of the definition of independence
- how characters behave and have patterns of speech that matches their personality
What was iffy:
- the subplot of Mami & Genki-Kun was too drawn out
> could have progressed and been resolved faster
- Kanda and Sakaida's break was too abrupt
- would have felt more complete if we got to see her telling Kanda what he did wrong
> that would have followed the pattern of storytelling whereby a problem in a relationship is exposed for what it truly is.

Historia para reflexionar
La historia se centra en el personaje masculino, quien ha estado soltero durante 10 años y aún no ha superado su relación anterior, sin comprender por qué terminó. Gran parte de la trama se desarrolla en el restaurante de su cuñado. Aquí, son las mujeres quienes cuestionan el amor y el matrimonio, mientras que los hombres siguen las convenciones sociales en busca de una pareja para toda la vida. No se trata de una historia romántica, sino más bien de un examen de las relaciones humanas y una reflexión sobre lo que verdaderamente deseamos.Was this review helpful to you?
