This drama is huge disappointment. From the synopsis, I would thought this will be more on FL trying to follow her father footstep being a pilot.
But rather, we get to see a Female co-pilot trying to make believe what is "A Pilot" plot. Also why bother trying to include the romance when the romance is as dried as wall's paint?
Great plot but poor acting by the FL when she is Hiromi. I keep on laughing at her acting. Yumi was better. Maybe it is the chracter or she can't emulate innocence. Also terrible pace. It kinda quick to the point everything is just on surface level. No depth. In the end, I didnt enjoy it as much as I thought I would be when I watched ep1. 4/10
From the get go I know this drama is wacky, Cicada turns into human? So i have to remove "reality" plot from my mind. But ... drama is kinda stupid. Admitted, it has some cute moments, wholesome moments and funny moments. However, overall .... I found it cringe. It still watchable if you dont have anything else to watch. 5/10
This drama is your typical "You can do it if you try" trope in Jdrama. Of course in reality they are a bit unrealistic. It was decent though. Pretty much generic too. 6/10
This is a decent drama about Pressed and Electronic media news manipulation. The shows how fickle our society in believing whatever they read without ounce of thinking. The MC is on his journey to amend himself after publishing story without real verification and uncover a lot of things from the past till now. 6.5/10
This drama is quite mediocre. The thing that I found weird is how the step sis/bro to lover trope is said to be frowned upon but nobody in the drama actually frown about it. It doesnt make sense how step siblings that have been together since "kid" for +-18 years didnt get criticise at all. Also this drama is giving the generic, predictable ending that very anti-climax. 5/10
So when I watched the 1st 3 eps, all I could say is the FL is a delulu single woman who lied about being married to get close to a man she met on the plane. And ML is a delulu man who wanted to have affair with married woman. As it is progressing halfway, at least we get to know the motive behind ML deluluness. Which actually make sense to the Main plot and their overall plot after that is still generic yet watchable. At least no 3rd party get hurt
Now the 2nd plot regarding the FL's sister who commit an affair with young man with pink hair is just your typical Jdrama NTR plot. like woman, if you are not happy with your marriage then divorce ur hubby first before looking for another love. Even if you realise you are not happy with your marriage and it is not love, doesn't mean you can cheat. The fact she doesnt get any repercussion when her husband actually ... not a bad man is wild.
the side plot is ruining this drama for me. Like the main plot is already a bit meh, side plot making it super meh. 5/10
1st ep and I was like "Not another eccentric FL with unlikable stern personality" and it was quite boring reharsh office drama that I have watched since the 90s. But Daiki character "Yamada Taiyo" which is the usual annoying high energy character works because instead of being the usual bimbo character, he is actually a functional character. And since he is 180 of FL, their dynamic works. The accounting department is small, only 4 staff but their dynamic is good but not great. Like it get the plot going with little comedy but that it is. The addition of Eguchi Noriko to the accounting department on the 2nd half of the plot liven up and adding more drama to the plot. She evens add more comedy to make this drama making it less boring. Wonder why she is labelled as Guest role when she basically everywhere during 2nd half Other characters come and goes in some ep. But Renn's character is the most interesting. And Becky made me laugh too. Though I will say the office plot is still as generic as ever Overall I was entertained by this drama. I was exceeding my expectation for it being a generic workplace drama. 7.5/10
Im not a big of Idol culture and never will be. I dont understand how Ota can support their Oshi to the level of obsession. Yes it does happen but I guess im a normal person who will never do that. This drama really capture the obsession of an Ota to their Oshi and they do address this an issue which I appreciate. 7.5/10
It's not clear to me why Furuya Robin has almost no leading roles. Maybe there is a mistake on the site? It's…
Because acting is not his main career and he started it quite late. He used to be a model and then turned into photographer/Filmmaker. He started acting after the actors/actresses he met during filming asking him why wont he continue his modelling career.
Okay. I never read the manga. So I dunno what it is about. I actually have low expectation since the rating is low. But it is better than what Im expected. It is basically about a story of virgin guy named Tanaka who has natural Afro hair. Because of his hair, people think he has achieved so many thing in life but he actually accomplished nothing. And he is a virgin too. While dotei joke is pretty much overuse in Japan, this drama actually manage to capture the awkwardness of young adult with his first love story. I like the comedy. 8/10
I didn't expect to get glued by this drama. At first, I thought. Here another being demoted salaryman to factory trope. And of course a villain vice director who gonna overtake the parents company.
But then when he arrived at the factory, he was incharge of being GM of the Rugby team. LMAO. The rugby team is so weak so of course he gonna make it successful (instead of making the company successful like others). Despite having a lot of "typical predictable" Jdrama elements, for the drama being a sport drama about rugby with the ML's wife as narrator actually refreshing. Watching GM managing the team using his business knowledge is refreshing. I was hooked and able to finish it withing a day. Also the final twist is good. 8.5/10
Talking about useless plot one after another. Each ep, the cases are so ... meh. And when they take 2 cases, 1st case usually get push away. Also why she needs to be soaking wet to time travel when she can actually travel back with just little splash like in one of the ep. 4/10
The typical eccentric FL who is so rich she has connection that she can do anything she wants like opening french restaurant but her management is a recipe of disaster and yet at the end of the day, they still prevail. This drama basically follow the trend of building up progress of the characters of the organization (In this drama a restaurant) in every ep. The worst thing about this drama, those thing are not suppose to work in real life but of course this being a fantasy, it gonna works somehow every ep. Shison Jun character Kawai is the most useless and annoying. He even able to overtake Satomi character as the most annoying. They are forcing the comedy with the useless trope. The only good thing about this drama is actually the other people inner talking head that speak the truth. It save this drama from being a total dud. 4.5/10
My only problem with this drama is that the Lead duo did not carry the show. They were outshone by the side character Kanemoto and Fujikawa. I found those 2 seniors comedian story far more engaging than the leads. But I would say for Agatsuma to get to know reality that he is kinda suck is quite refreshing. Not a bad drama overall but I found it boring some times. 6/10
This drama is actually pretty average. Aside from MC ending, the plot is very predictable and generic. 5/10
