Strange OTT series definitely not a rom-com but funny all the same (if you can suspend disbelief)
What can you say it's the most OTT jdrama I've seen: definitely not a rom-com but hilariously funny (assuming you don't take the ML's pursuit/stalking of FL seriously). I haven't seen the mango so can't compare but it is very funny as it's so over the top. I loved the fact FL held her own faced with the increasing crazy actions of the ML. To be honest if you watch it without assuming that it reflects real-life it's fun. I found it more amusing that the creepy priest/monk in "From 5 to 9" this at least is playing for laughs... Likewise the FL kicks ass much more than the FL in 'I wanna punch that scumbag' who didn't and resorted to classic rom-com style. Definitely a unique series quirky funny and not to be taking seriously.. ML actor I've seen before in 'From 5 to 9" where I felt he was a way better actor than the ML there: here at least he gets to show his comedic and slapstick skills. Not too sure it's as funny to re-watch - unless you're an afficionado of the manga.
