Ima kara, Shinyu Yameyo ka. (2026)

More then your average TL drama

I really love aspects of this drama. one of my favorite things it does is start out as if is your regular romance late night jdrama, but then in ep. 3 your like hmm wait?? and then episode 4 & 5 comes, and you're absolutely hooked. it has just the right amount of dark romance that I enjoy.

my biggest critique is that the intrigue started way too late and the ending is rushed. We could have gone a full 10 ep to really flush out this emotional turmoil. Despite these, i still think it's great.

I will recommend this to any rei lovers. Definitely one of his best dramas so far and hope he gets more of these types of characters in the future.

Bland...Lacked some depth to get into it

I usually love friends-to-lovers trope but this drama, while centred around it, felt super bland to me. It lacked some spice or gripping factor to get me invested...And the way the tone of the series shifted but was superficially addressed did not sit very well with me...

Regarding the acting, I did not feel very impressed by the chemistry between the leads but to be honest, the script and the way the characters were relatively empty and one note, probably did not help them...Maybe the male lead role had a bit more meat but the female lead role was really more an empty vessel than anything else...Any of the inner and outside conflicts that happened was resolved so quickly that it felt lacking.

I would not recommend this to people as it felt like a very mid run-of-the-mill office josei story. Would it have been spicier, crazier or simply more heartfelt, it could have been good...But here it remained at a very mid level, with nothing outstanding nor memorable.
