Cherry Boy-kun ni Honro Saretemasu (2025)

I've Played These Games Before

This drama is fine if you're looking for a light watch and it's probably foolish to expect anything deeper out of it, but it's just soooooooo unoriginal. It tricks you into thinking it's changing things up by making the FL the promiscuous one and the ML the pure and innocent one, but besides the gender swap, the story beats are exactly the same as any generic teen romance - and yes, teen and not adult because besides them saying the word "sex" and the FL having a FWB, the romance is extremely PG, with all the typical shoujo manga tropes - Sharing a room/bed (more than once)! Caring for you when you're sick! Random free tickets to go on an aquarium date!

What really irks me is the FL lead being set up as an empowered, sex-positive girlboss, but in the end, the drama suggests that the only way for her to be truly happy is to "respect" herself by casting aside her casual relationships and settling down with the young virgin who accepts her despite her history. And of course, no age-gap romance is complete without the characters having known each other as kids, like PLEASE can romance mangakas diversify already?? The amount of dramas I've seen that use that exact set-up is getting excessive.

The two leads are cute and their acting is fine, but they don't really have that much chemistry. I honestly wanted Karen to get with Yuto and Teito to get with his kouhai lol. At the very least, I will say this drama doesn't really drag and went by surprisingly fast.

A simple romantic drama about finding love and being true to yourself.

The FL is a powerful lady that doesn't take love seriously and spend her time toying around men because of past trauma then she meets the innocent pure younger ML who is obsessed with sharks then his purity somehow slaps her Into realising that there is love irl you just have to meet the right one.

Cliché, but cute and nice to waste time between chores or something, just don't expect anything special from it.

It's a simple FL traumatized ~ meets ML ~ help her through her trauma ~ they fall in love and boom happy ending.

You shouldn't take it seriously because of you did you will find out that the two leads are not in any way compatible with each other, I prefer him with his junior because they actually fits together, but he has nothing in common at all with the FL I believe the writer also agree hence the childhood meeting and first love addition ~

That been said it's short and light and that's it, nothing to write home about ~
