The synopsis really confused me and the only thing I got from it that in this drama, there was kissing LOL
During the years of watching dramas, I ALWAYS wanted more kissing in j-dramas BUT, I did not want all those kissing crammed into 1 short-runtime j-drama LOL

Kiriyama Renn? Can't be his real name, can it? LOL
Anyways, just in episode 1 and he looks too old and too gay to be with the girl... I should WISH there is more to this drama than the leads relationship but from the looks of it, seems like there isn't...

On episode 1... Okay, was this series like made to make up for all the kisses missing in the previous j-dramas all over the years?
Question is, do we get to enjoy it with these "characters" who turned up for this short-runtimed show like out of the blue...
I mean, before I watch a kiss scene with a guy, I need to first at least like, notice the guy LOL
I'm afraid, if I compare this to the main lead's previous drama 'Furo Girl', which was ALL about a girl taking a bath (that was IT, really), this "drama" might prove more empty...
After 1 episode, this DID remind me unpleasantly of a show named 'Coffee & Vanilla' So I'm putting this on ice and it's a question when and IF I'll watch the rest.

Might be even if you watched the un-cut version, 'cause I'm watching it (it's available in 1080p mkv to download) and it's a C-DRAMA FIRST, everything else second.

Okay, synopsis tells me NOTHING (with many words), the Tags are discouraging. Top reviews are all ambiguous and the only Discussion is a person asking someone to explain the ending. LOL
I think I'll pass.

Chinese version was "enough" for me... Pass.

Oh... No.
Everybody, get a new haircut.

Yes. You can read it here:

Yeah, plan on doing exactly that.
But not more because if such material gets adapted into 12 episode drama I say it's worse, because it steals even more of your time.

These "spin-off"'s three episodes are sometimes listed as episode 4.5, 5.5 and 6.5 to season 2.

This show was put on the ice by me during episode 1, right after I first saw that "sexy boyfriend"... LOL

It's a pitty with the cast, the guy that's supposed to be the hot construction worker has a gaunt face like a scarecrow and slimy hair. He should at least cut it more short, if nothing it would be more practical at that work of his, LOL. Either way, he doesn't give off the right vibe for the role. When he was all sweating at the construction site with the main heroine looking lustfully at him, it would be great & funny if he really was attractive. But he looked morelike he was ill person sweating in fever... Pale and sinewy, yes. Muscly and sexy, no.
So, this main point of the show was not working for me since episode 1... I thought let's see the fiancee, perhaps I'll cheer for the girl to stay with him, even if I know he's not the endgame.

But the fiancee has almost identical hairstyle. Only A BIT shorter. Eesh... What's up with that? He's got like uncle hair... And uncle face, despite being young. And it looks like he's developing a future wart on his chin. At the main girl's place, I'll run away from BOTH.

After first 11 minutes of the runtime, I knew I have no one to ship, here.
I'm sorry, they might be good quality character actors, but there's definitely NO ONE SEXY, HERE.
They kinda ruined this drama with this cast.
I later watched the rest of the 1st epi + epis 2 & 3, no longer looking for any kind of eye candy, only to find that it turned into some kind of absurd comedy. Let's see what happens...

Oh my god, heart attack at the age of 35. And such a hot guy died on us.

OMG. So they're him 43 and her 28? The original couple was him 23 and her 21, both super hot... No, I'm not talking about the crazy 80's-like hairdos version... But, this looks no less crazy, it's like they could have cast the original guy, he is still alive he would be only 47 in this, so what the hell. The SECOND couple in this is hot I cannot lie. Still, a bizarre looking remake in a way...
Interesting how the coronavirus cutting this from 20 eps to 13 was actually helpful. LOL

Basically, subtitled version is here:

So far subbed 10/15 because this is listed as a "Paid Project" of the subber, which means they wait for enough money to arrive to continue the work, which can take years.
So I guess if you care enough to make a Donation you can speed things up.
First 9 epis on Dailymotion:

I'm interested in piano background music in this drama, there is an OST on youtube with tracks like 'Crisis Ridden', 'Fragments' or 'Final Appointment', but none of that is it. I never even found any site with information about what music this show used. Whether those piano tunes were original for this drama or were there borrowed from somewhere else.

Yeah I'd like to point out that 99% k-dramas I ever watched NEVER showed opening and it only showed the "15" or "12" sign and so I was robbed of the experience. Should I now google the openings of all the k-dramas I ever watched? Sometimes they're not even on youtube

I'm enjoying this small anthology series, BIG thanks to furritsubs;-)
These little stories are SOOOO adorable & enjoyable for each minute of their little runtime. With the weirdo exception of epi 12, these are equally good, or maybe better, than some long dramas;-)

Really?
Well forgive me but it never occur to me how could contraception affect MENSTRUAL CRAMPS. I'm afraid you'll get those no matter what LOL
And if I don't get this then it's possible I was not the only viewer. I no longer remember the show much but I remember a form of prostitution was fixed for the main boy right at the FIRST epi or something (so it's not spoiler about something happening later on) and he found THE main girl coming at this fixed meeting.
So I think you should un-spoiler your answer for people to know this was NOT about her being prostituted.
Else they might DROP the show. I remember I wanted to. I had to check now whether I have it Completed...

Might be because only fans of the show came to rate it? It's logical.

Yeah, I also use reading MDL Tags for sorting what to skip:))))))))
