Enjoyable & Uncomplicated
This was an uncomplicated watch that I enjoyed for the most part.
Some things that I would have loved to see were her character have a bit of character development as his did. It would have been nice to have less flashbacks. The last episode had flashbacks that summarized basically everything that happened in their relationship. This also happened somewhere around the middle of the show. It felt like a sort of recap. For the most part, I don't enjoy an abundance use of flashbacks and this was no different as I feel it didn't do anything for the story.
I did like the chemistry between the leads. However and while I enjoy a good slow burn, their relationship moved at a snail pace because of two reasons. One was his job . Being a navy officer took him away from home for long periods of time. And second, their personalities. If one of them had been more outgoing than the other, there would have been fireworks, at least that's what I would like to think. Although, there were some sweet scenes, the drama was also plagued with dead fish kiss scenes. These made me wish they didn't have any kiss scenes at all because that killed the possibility of any extended fluffy feelings I could have felt. I also enjoyed Taki-kun's jealousy era.
Also, while the ending seems sweet, Benshi comes in breaking the magic once again to remind us that the period the characters live in is the Showa period. I never liked Benshi.😬
7.5/10
