I had to dig to find subtitles for all of the episodes but am glad I did. I really enjoyed this one. It's a must-see if you like workplace dramas with strong women in the lead roles. If you are searching for it, most sites have it under the name, "Women Won't Allow it".
This was pretty good, but the ending confused me. Why would you leave that open?! Or are they supposed to have…
I assume they leave it open so people who wanted them to get away can believe they escaped and those who wanted them to get caught can believe they got arrested.
This was on track to be one of my new favorite dramas and I was even anticipating rewatching it before I'd finished it. After the second half of episode 10 though, I'm not sure I see the point. It's still a wonderfully acted, character-driven drama with awesome music, but for the last 30 minutes those characters all start acting like someone else. Sano "I want to sing" Sakura runs away from her potential music contract, ends up with the guy she doesn't love and working as a mechanic, which she said she doesn't enjoy. And Kohei just walks away without a word? What?
I hope there's a special or a season 2 because I just don't understand....
I was enjoying it through the first few episodes but had to stop watching just after the midpoint. The characters develop terminal stupidity as the plot just becomes insultingly contrived and dumb.
Haruka is one of my favorite romantic leads and plays naive and vulnerable characters with a special kind of charm, so I was pretty concerned about how she would handle Balsa, the seemingly invulnerable bodyguard with a heart of stone. I'm truly impressed though. She does such an amazing job with the role that I feel bad for doubting her,
And, yes, the dorama diverges from the anime, but not in the ways that I feel fundamentally matter. At its heart, the world, characters and mythology are familiar, but delivered in a fresh way. I don't feel that it betrays the spirit of the original. In fact, I think it adds a new dimension to it.
Started watching for the amazing Mitsumshima Hikari, but she just plays the voice of the frog. Still, this was fairly amusing except I'm tired of "loser with a heart of gold" protagonists.
When a main character suddenly gets amnesia it's a sure sign that the story has run out of ideas. Season one was goofy, sweet and charming. Season two just devolves into a interminable series of painful cliches.
Any synopsis of this drama makes it sound dumb and contrived, when it is anything but. It is smart and original with interesting characters who are all likable for different reasons. Other than Tamaki, who is always slightly cartoonish, the performances are superb giving you characters you can actually care about. It delivers both literal LOLs and tears. I wish all rom-coms would meet this standard.
I'm not sure why so many people found this series boring but, then again, I could watch Ayase Haruka read the phone book and find it compelling. I quite enjoyed this one and was planning on watching it a second time.
A very nice drama except that the writers don't seem to have any understanding of how the business world actually works. That part of the the drama is very two dimensional and distractingly unrealistic. When that aspect wasn't annoying me, I found it very enjoyable.
There is no believable explanation as to why multiple beautiful women fall for this wet noodle except that the drama must take place in a fantasy world where men with a complete lack of a confidence, ambition, income, humor, charisma and the capacity to honest are magically irresistible to the opposite sex.
This starts out approaching some tough issues regarding mental illness and abusive and obsessive relationships with some decent humor and interesting characters. Unfortunately, after a few visits to the neighborhood shrink, everyone gets cured and this devolves into a formulaic rom-com with some painfully stupid moments.
This drama was near perfect through the end of episode 9. If you love these characters as much as I did, quit watching there. Episode 10 ends the series on a truly WTF? chapter. It made absolutely no sense and destroyed all of the goodwill I felt towards the protagonists.
I hope there's a special or a season 2 because I just don't understand....
