Romance isn't needed
This drama, just like Machida Ryo, went beyond the norms of Japanese Dramas where either romance exist or someone dies in the family. Machida Eri initially was just a past character whom we saw from flashbacks and was essential for the main character's development, but she definitely went beyond that with a development of her own. This drama was also able to advocate women empowerment without necessarily derogating men. Overall, a good watch, it had its low moments but it was really heartwarming.Was this review helpful to you?
Legends are made, not born
From the moment this series begun, the lingering question has always been "How is she like that?". All questions (at least the necessary ones), were answered through this movie. The most awaited backstory of Daimon Michiko was finally revealed. Although it is not what I initially expected, it is very humane and sonewhat realistic. What a way to cap off an amazing series (or should I say a series of series lol). The story was good, how the past and the present connected perfectly. Each character got their own time to shine, some redeemed themselves, some just existed for the sake of existing lol. Overall a good watch. Just wished characters like Kondo from Season 2 reappeared again.Was this review helpful to you?

Very unrealistic and biologically impossible.
Story-wise, nothing needs to be said as it is just another cliché Japanese no dating marriage trope where each episode shows the development of the couple. However, what I really noticed is how unrealistic this drama really is. It is impossible for them to eat that much food and not get fat.Was I able to clickbait with that headline? Lol. Anyways, the leads played their roles very well, even Matsumura Sayuri who is not known for being a great actress, played her role perfectly. It's a very fluffy drama filled with 50% food and 50% romance. It's not a drama that you'd enthusiastically anticipate watching but it is good especially as a means of lightening up your mood or to spend 24 minutes of your day with. Overall a good watch, nothing out of ordinary but also not within the realm of mediocrity.
