When it comes to Manga adaptation, most of the time you need to turn off your brain because the LA will try to match the craziness of the manga.
This adaptation .... is one of that I wish they just keep it as manga because the more I watch the ep, more I feel my IQ is getting lowered.
Good thing? simple dish that perfect to guide the dummy (like those for dummy books)
Bad thing? I guess the rest. The FL is just a spoiled brat that will annoy you the entire drama. She is very unlikable. And of course the exaggeration expression is to match the original manga but that is something only works in Manga.
And the ML? he kinda dumb in some parts and lack charisma. Which again in manga, is a compliment character to the eccentric FL. But in LA ... yeah. 4/10
I was confused with the comments and what I was watching ... How this is good? Girl wanna take revenge over a boy who screwed her life and family ended up falling in love again with the same boy ... what twist and turn are people saying? It so generic and predictable that I keep raising my brows as the plot is progressing. I can tell straight away this is an adaptation of shojo manga because the plot is so obvious. Only Shojo manga makes 15 years old grudge so fickle. 4/10
Season 2 like season 1 is well made. And like most seasonal Jdrama, not much changes are done to the plot. It was predictable. They make Sawamura's character much more stupid in this season which I think keep me laughing. 6.5/10
It was not as bad as some people commented. Was the police annoying? absolutely. I like the plot. But the way the plot is going ... very Japanese indeed. Still I was enjoying this. Maybe because it is short. 7/10
When I saw Yamada Ryosuke character, 1st thing that came to my mind ... nah not another seigi no mikita kind of new cop. BORING. Then Tanaka Kei character being the unconventional cop that always break the rule as his partner ...generic. But then it goes into comedic root ... LMAO. I laugh. They were repeating the same formulaic episode in the first 2 episodes and I was like even comedy cant save this from being boring but they break the cycle in 3rd ep. I was enjoying this more than I thought I would. 7.5/10
If you dont have anything else to watch, this is good to kill time as the drama is mid at best. Nothing really excited. It just another Jdrama with mid plot. 6/10
At first I was like ... not another dotting parent, naive children trope. When the dad announced he goings to same college as his daughter ... I was like gross. And when the daughter just accepted it ... it makes me went "aaah. this type of drama"
But ... it went into comedic route which I was unexpectedly enjoying it so much. I keep laughing watching the entire drama. What I like is how different the friends characters. Still I wish the daughter has more dimension in her characterization. She feels very generic. 7.5/10
The drama is cut short due to Miura Haruma's death. It looks like it has potential but tbh it can go both way Still for what is, I was enjoying the drama. 6.5/10
The plot of secret team formed by the prefecture police team just to infiltrate dangerous organization is pretty common. ML is kinda anti-hero but he is so not likeable. This drama is not bad. Short and not dragging but the twist and turn is very predictable. I still enjoy it though. 7/10
This is pretty much drama of HS girls discussing about love and sex. Some people might find some of the plots disturbing but let not pretend those HS girl IRL did act like that.
I dont have problem with the plot but I have the problem how it is executed. I got 2nd hand embarrassment most of the times watching this. The direction can be a little bit faster because for a 25min drama, it feels longer than that. 5.5/10
If this is based on true story ... Im impressed by the culprit. Watching Murata ... I dunno how those people fall for his conmanship but I do see some people who can easily persuaded into those con IRL. Also the fact most of his victim kinda mentally ill ... scary and those gore scene is expected from Netflix. Pretty disturbing Also the twist ... NGL i kinda can tell but I bet most people still shocking. Still do I like the drama? Not really. But was it bad? not really either. This is definitely not everyone cup of tea. 6/10
A lot of people share the same opinion as yours. I saw a lot of comments on social media where those who didn't like the Thai version found this watchable (me included)
This drama is not bad and it ends at ep9. Netflix has this as 10ep and that last ep is mostly just flashbacks. like 95% of them. LMAO.
Japan is champion of dry romance. The romance is so dry ... like usual and Im used to it. LMAO. But given that most Japanese marriage is called Transaction marriage, it does make sense since romance is just secondary element of this drama.
The real element is Mei, the FL who is bad doing housework and ace in her company and her sales area, only to be dethrone one of the possible love interest Todokoro.
The fact she has more than 1 love interest in this drama yet the romance is still dry is something unique to Japan. Haha. I do enjoy this drama though. 7.5/10
I guess because it is short that it does not dragging the plot.
Ex police turns into private detective turns into someone who fulfill the last wishes of terminal ill person. Although it is more like bringing the sick person to destination they want. Each person has their own story to tell and it somehow connecting the story from one another
Idk what happened, their chemistry is weird hahaha. I mean Kanade's actor is not a bad actor, i watch him in KingOhger…
Nobody expects toku to have good acting. It is kid show. So even bad acting will not looking that bad. But drama is different. I dont think their acting are bad but I do think Kanade's actor mostly has 1 expression that he always uses which is keeping his eyes wide open for every reaction. But other than that, I am fine with their acting. pretty standard for Jdrama especially the dead fish kiss, Jdrama specialty.

2nd half is better
The conflict can be written better. and Genki's acting is mid. 6.5/10
