I wish they wouldn't feel the need to make the others crazy to kinda justify an affair and make the leads seem ok by comparison. Otherwise, I really like that this show doesn't romanticise the affair and is rather frank about it. Without the craziness, it could've been quite realistic and insightful.

That twist probably came as a surprise to nobody, but I wonder how much of that was due to the casting. If you have someone like Toda Erika, of course you'll expect there is more to the character. Even without the surprise factor, I think it played out quite niceley though.
Minato Kanae indeed knows how to write compelling character-driven mysteries.

No, it's not your fault when you're bad at sex. It's no excuse for the partner to cheat. If he's not satisfied, he should've told her and they could've worked on it together. That's what you do in a relationship!

This is quite good. Misa can be a pill, but I really like Chihiro and her arc and thankfully they're featured equally.

This is so over the top that I kept wondering if it was meant to be a parody.

Haha, if not for his voice I think I might've not recognized Saito Takumi here xD

Or he could've just appeared to both of them. She might willingly help save the earth xD
Maybe we'll get more explanations later on, but I won't hold my breath.

This is really good and much more easy to watch than I'd thought. It's poignant without being sappy and manages to also fit in some cute and humor, so the overall feel doesn't end up too heavy. Looking forward to the rest =D

This reminds me of the movie Werewolf Boy, which is a good association in my book. Anyway, I liked the start. Great acting all around, lots of cute and unexpectedly funny. And that ending song is super beautiful and addicting.

I think the dance is inspired by last year's Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu. They had such a dance as well and it was really popular in Japan.

Me neither, so frustrating >.<

I failed to find it anywhere other than dTV (http://pc.video.dmkt-sp.jp/ti/10017424/Love+or+Not?home=on=), which already has the first three eps. But it's only of use for those of us who are lucky enough to be in Japan or are more skilled with proxys than I am. Sigh, I hate country restrictions =(

I know right? Excitement level for the new season is way up now!

I really like the message of this drama. It's a rather obvious one, but we hear lines like "I'll make you happy" or "I can make you happier than he can" way too often in dramaland.

This started off well enough but at some point everything became just sooooo cliched in the most uncreative way =(

I agree, everyone just suddenly became happy because it was the last ep, not because the characters, especially the mom, developed properly. With this setup, I expected a deeper character analysis for both mom and daughter and while they did that for Mizuki to some extend, somehow it became rather superficial at one point for her, too.
I think the bald spot was caused by stress. Gong Shim in "Beautiful Gong Shim" also had one due to stress.

This is a lot more fun and funny than I thought and not depressing at all. They say it's a 1/3 chance but it's entirely possible there was a 4th person.

Totally random sidenote, but those green dishes at Min Hyuk's house look suspiciously like they're from IKEA. Got the same ones xD

We're talking about the end of ep 5 right? The conversation goes like this:
"Mugi, you've done it with someone else right?"
"You did it, too, right Hanabi? I know it. Because..."
"Say it. It's probably the same"
"It's because it started to feel really good" (Literally he says "Because it became really good-feeling")

So it's basically "I know you did it with someone else, because the way you do it started to feel really good".
Based on the following episodes, I don't think it's that they separated because it started feeling good, at leadt not on Hanabis part.

I thought it referred to how they both became better at making out because of some practice with other people...
