Steamy Romance, Literally!
Asako was cursed with hyperactive sweat glands due to genetics and her anxious nature. When emotionally stimulated, she had waves of heat and perspiration rise from her. Literally, steamy.
As I've often found in Japanese dramas, they can be quirky and weird, and this has all that bizarreness wrapped up in a cute story. The romance was a respectful one, with each person trying to meet the other person's needs. Misunderstandings were avoided or talked out. Such a nice change from most dramas! For example: coworker told ML she'd done a good job and deserved a head pat. ML had done so in the past when she'd excelled, but he told her he wouldn't do it now, because he wouldn't want his girlfriend to misunderstand. He drew definite lines. How refreshing was that!
Note: don't watch with your Nana, unless she's cool with sexual content; although, I've got to say that voraciously eating rice or kicking fruit out of a bed (you'd have to watch to understand) is about as explicit as it gets. I found those scenes oddly entertaining and inventive. I must be getting accustomed to Japanese dramas. What is wrong with me?!
I'm adding an extra half star for FL's lingerie. She spent 1/3 of her time without a blouse, and costuming gave her some beautiful bras.
