I saw Koshiba Yuka and I immediately thought she might be a damsel in distress and annoying like her few characters she has acted before in this drama and turned out it is. Talking about typecasting.

Anyway, I kinda hate her character. she was suffocated to watch. But the youkais , the priest and the boss making this drama funny make me able to get through this. The ending is so predictable.
6.5/10

Some times, people has thing they like and other people might judge them for it. This drama is exactly that. Showing the strunggle of few ossan trying to escape life with cute thing they like but afraid to admit due to judgement. And finding friends that you can share your hobby is very important. I like the bromance in this drama.
7.5/10

It is cringe no doubt. When I saw it is JE jr drama, I thought this will have a very bad acting. Surprisingly, they are decent. Well .. it is HS drama. Not that hard. But let be honest, the character that carries this show is Sanpei, acted by Hakata Hanamura which sadly has no profile entry on MDL.
Also that girl journalism is BS and nobody in the drama actually strongly call out for the club BS except few mention by the main characters

But it was fun to watch. I did laugh watching the main group stupidity
6.5/10

Well ..... in Japanese, the nipple is called Oppai. Op-pai (as in pi sounds)
So that Pi reference is Akafuji censoring the Pai in Op-pi which is why you see in the drama, they censored Hajima's nipple every time it is Akafuji POV

Ayase Haruka english .... at least she is trying. I was trying so hard to understand her
It was funny and them talking about parents need support system ... well might be true in current situation especially in Japan. Her robotic behaviour still a turn off. But nevertheless, still enjoyable. 7/10

The acting was great. Yes, all people can go and try to be policeman but not all qualify to do so. Some might not agree with what the instructor was doing but then again not everything going to be be flower and rainbow. 8/10

I didnt think I will like this more than I was expecting. I like the journey of the dad trying to understand his son although some might say it was too late. 7.5/10

I wish I love this more but the pace is very .... slow and it is a docu-drama.
I think this drama will appeal more toward architect as they are talking about building
5/10

Okay. I was thinking that this must be another meh HS drama that we usually get. But I was wrong. This drama talked about a lot of teenage issue
- Being a little bit masculine girl
- Mommy issue
- Abandonment
- Manipulation
- Unmanly boy
As Asian, I found they dealt with this issue better than most Jdrama. This exceed my expectation. 8/10

It was short. The mystery a good mix of good and average. Nothing really special but still a good watch nonetheless. 6.5/10

Japanese gag comedy drama is either hit or miss. They have no filter and sometimes can put people off. This drama is a miss for me. It has some funny moments but most of the time ... it is meh. I think this is better in manga or anime format but as drama? with that cheap effect? I was just counting when this drama going to end. Maybe if 5 or 6 eps, it will not feel so dragging. But 12 eps? I was kinda bored halfway. 4/10

in every ep she dreams about the personification of item she wanted to throw away. There is always this girl that appears in her dream which her identity is revealed in the last ep. The drama is more like a slice of life drama. It is a good premise but I found this drama quite boring tbh. 5/10

This being a comedy drama is not something I expected. Ichigo being annoying young female protagonist is so yesterday. I rolled my eyes everytime she opens her mouth. The mystery is just average. Mary is an interesting villain. But her ending is meh. I was expecting her character development to go down hill at the end but Im still disappointing. Still a good watch overall. 6.5/10

Followers is when a Jdrama being Americanized. It talks about feminism, LGBTQ+ issue, womanhood, sacrifice, family, young man older woman, us against the world, breaking the industry standard etc. It definitely breaking the Jdrama standard plot but at the same time, it just good but not great. 7/10

Your usual friendship drama. Nothing really deep. And the plot is not unique either. But it is a good drama to watch for your past time. 6/10

What an odd drama. I can tell this is adapted from Manga. The drama is giving the viewer something to think. The plot didn't really sided with either perpetrator nor victim. It make u sympathize with the victim at one point and then make u understand why the perpetrator was behaving like that. I like this aspect of the drama because some drama they just push the narrative to you. But I hate the dynamic between Nina and Atsushi. They look cute together but very toxic too. I was turned off by Atsushi obsession over Nina. Trying to pleasing her most of the time. 5.5/10

I want to like this but the main characters ...2 of them are getting on my nerve. The plot is interesting but it is too short and in the end ... I was indifference with the drama itself. 5.5/10

When it comes to Izakaya/bar food theme drama, there is not much plot they can do. Everything will revolve around that place. Was it bad? no. Was it good? yes. Was it great? maybe in its genre. overall it was okay. Like if you have nothing else to watch for passing the time, this will do. Though I still dont understand how the front door connected to the isekai world. 6/10

This drama is comedy gold. At first, I found it kinda middling. But the plot twist in the middle cause havoc and I cant stop laughing at the all twist and turn they put on. 7.5/10

Good thing? it is a comedy
bad thing? The FL is exhausting sometimes and it has no conclusion.
It light enough to keep u entertain when there is nothing else to watch. 6/10
