My Summer of You Episode 1

i will never get over the trope in these drama's…

i will never get over the trope in these drama's (regardless of the country) where a really good looking actor/character is treated like an ugly-troll that lives under a bridge. yeah Saeki is good looking, but IMO Wataru is wayyyy better looking - like by a lot. i wouldn't notice Saeki in a room, but i wouldn't be able to take my eyes off Wataru - just sayin - like make it believable, or change the dialogue to fit reality. *************************************************************************************************now that i've gotten that off my chest, i have to address another cliché specific to J-romance-drama's... i am all for women making the 1st move & not waiting for the guy to do it. but when u make the 1st move, u can & will get rejected - u gotta ready ur heart for that. just cause u mustered up the courage, doesn't mean the guy HAS to say yes. be graceful & walk away, if a guy says he is interested in someone else & he isn't dating - maybe he is letting u down gently? & not saying "ur not my cup of tea" to ur face cause he doesn't want to insult u - why persist & get all defensive & intrusive about it?? it's like the guys that hit on a girl & when the girl turns them down, they curse at her - i see NO difference & it's equally annoying! ****************************the ep was hella short or so it felt, that it didn't start it ended & i would like more backstory to see when & why Saeki who had countless gf's suddenly noticed Wataru. yeah how they relationship progresses is also something i would enjoy to watch but 'how it started' is the part i really love. so can't wait for more
