An arranged marriage in pre-war Japan — A Calm Sea… Until the Second Couple Saved the Day
Kind of cute if you can handle hyper extreme self-conscious ocd behaviour and overthinking to an insane degree (which I get was supposed to be comic)A cute, funny and heartwarming story of an arranged marriage in pre-war Japan, with an adorably awkward, reserved and innocent main couple, and an amusingly bantering and witty second couple.Watching them falling in love, bonding and supporting each other was a real pleasure to watch.
“A Calm Sea and Beautiful Days with You” opened with a promising first half that pulled me in with its gentle pacing and emotional setup. The early episodes had an engaging charm, and for a while, I genuinely thought the story would stay steady all the way through.
But as the drama moved into the second half, the momentum softened and the main storyline began to lose its grip. What truly kept me going—and ultimately helped me complete the drama—was the second couple. They brought warmth, chemistry, and a much-needed spark when the main narrative started drifting.
Their presence added life back into the show, and they became the emotional anchor that made the later episodes worth watching.
Overall, this drama had a beautiful start and a memorable supporting romance, even if the main arc couldn’t maintain its initial promise. It’s a calm watch with standout moments thanks to its second couple, who quietly stole the spotlight.
