The Fluffiest Rom-Com That’ll Give You a Permanent Stupid Grin
If you’re looking for a drama lighter than cotton candy—zero brain strain, zero tears, just pure dumb-happy vibes—then "Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo" is your perfect match. This rom-com isn’t trying to be deep or groundbreaking, and that’s exactly what makes it such a delightful watch. It’s light, it’s funny, it’s cheesy in the best way possible, and yes, it will have you grinning like an idiot the whole time.
Let's talk about Tendo-sensei, aka the walking definition of "I hate everyone but you." if you're a fan of tsundere types (the cold, rude, yet secretly soft-hearted guys), you’re in for a treat. Tendo-sensei played by Takeru Satoh is practically the blueprint. He’s cold, sarcastic, a bit of a red flag (in the drama universe of course), but undeniably charismatic. I mean, who gave this man the right to look that good in scrubs?! his constant squinting is a little much, though maybe it's part of the “tsun” package or just a personal choice. Either way, the man has presence.
And then we have Nanase, the bright, bubbly nurse who’s basically a human golden retriever. She’s not some ethereal beauty, but her sunshine energy and grit make her impossible not to root for. Girl’s got game, even a stone-cold doctor like Tendo can’t resist. Props to the actress bcs she nailed the awkward-yet-bold energy of her character.
Acting-wise? everyone delivers just fine. It’s nothing Oscar-worthy but honestly it doesn’t need to be. The chemistry is cute and the vibes are immaculate.
The script? oh gurrl this is so Japanese rom-com coded. Some of Nanase’s lines made me physically cringe from secondhand embarrassment... but like in a good way? HAHAHA (don't get me wrong, i love it tho).
Cinematography and production design aren’t anything revolutionary, but they get the job done. The hospital sets look legit and nothing screams low budget.
Now let’s take a moment to appreciate the OST. Japan really knows how to pick songs, especially in romance dramas. The music here just elevates the whole swoony vibe.
Final thoughts: 9/10 – Fluff Worth Binging. a lighthearted rom-com with no villains, and no dragged-out conflict. It doesn’t try to be anything more than it is, and that’s exactly why it works. It’s pure serotonin, especially when you catch yourself crushing hard on Tendo-sensei and thinking about stealing Tendo from Nanase, HAHAHA (just kidding.. but Nanase be careful i might actually steal Tendo Sensei from you! )
