Okay, hear me out! The entire plot is about a good-looking and popular boy turning the nerd into a good looking young man! They reference his hotness and popularity all throughout the series, yet when we look at him, we don't see TOP MODEL or magazine worthy features. The man is good looking, but there are hotter men out there to cast.

As cliche as it is, the plot is interesting. A hot man, Yuki, finds an ugly duckling nerd, Makoto, and turns him into a beautiful prince that everyone can't stop staring at. The acting wasn't the best, but the plot worked overtime to cover the acting. Makoto's acting wasn't very consistant. Sometimes he was a decent actor, other times it was terrible. The only thing that helped him was his good looks.

Throughout the series Yuki is supposed to be "good looking" and the girls can't stop hitting on him. Which isn't a problem until you cast an actor that isn't a typical pretty boy or masculine hunk. The actor who plays Yuki is good looking, but is more on the average good looking side of the spectrum. Also, for some reason, he seems to give off "gay vibes" which would prevent most women from hitting on him. That being said, he is good looking, just not good looking enough for the role. Because of this everytime he or another character references his hotness, it seems like he is just tooting his own horn.

The series is a fun watch if you can get past the bad acting... and horn tooting from Yuki. The plot is actually quite good, so if they had cast different actors, the series would be rated a lot higher. However, there is a second season, which I did watch, and I will say Makoto's acting did get better in the second season. Overall, if you have some free time, you can watch it, but it is a skippable series.
