E5. I wanna slap that male president. I absolutely loved Omameda Towako's reply to him. You may have failures in life, but there is no such thing as a failed life. GO WOMAN!

Same same!! It was sad. She seems most affected by Hassaku unlike the other two husbands, with whom she has more of a cordial relationship.

The leads on a magazine cover together: https://twitter.com/doramaworld/status/1402605493302927361?s=21

Yes & no. I’d go more for a no because the other guys were never in the game to be honest.

It was hilarious!! I loved it so so much.

Exactly!

Also had to mention that the casting for the younger leads is PERFECT. Like young Karibe, Jun, Minami, Aiko actually look like the older actors, esp Karibe :)

Seriously, this will go down as one of my favourite rom-coms. I appreciate how they keep proving us wrong with each episode (misleading previews).. like if I had to plot this show in a graph, it would be an upward trend all the way. It just kept getting better with each episode.

On to the episode, I loved the focus on Karibe & Kogo’s relationship, and how it came to be. It was really moving. And Karibe’s sincere confession to Aiko, it stole my heart really. Appreciate how we came full circle on Karibe’s comment that romance isn’t something he does, rather something he draws. That ending was absolutely PERFECT. The side characters are really fun too. They’re likeable and quirky.

I’m gonna miss this a lot when it ends next week. Hope Ren gets his happy ending too hehehheee

Nope I have only seen the 1991 original of this.

I’ve been watching dramas for 20+ years & I’ve never been able to tell how good or bad a drama is within 1 minute..
I don’t expect you to love it the way I do but judging a drama based on it’s first minute is not fair. This is just my opinion.

What a moving & beautiful episode. Karibe, Kogo, Aiko, the rival Mangaka & stalker dude were AWESOME!!

I just saw E9 raw and Dylan it was freaking perfect. I loved it!!!

I watched the first 10 mins of E9 raw and I just had to make a comment on how hilarious it was. Bahhahahahahahhaa

I thought of a similar drama. Have you seen Densha Otoko?

Wow, this was fantastic. What an ending! I enjoyed this so much. It was painfully real, yet so quirky & engaging. A1 writing, score & acting.
Anyone that enjoys watching satires or social commentaries, this is a MUST WATCH! Highly recommended :)

The spin-off involves side characters. It airs after the drama. Most J dramas these days have spin offs where they place the focus on the side characters & their stories.

E8. An emotionally stirring episode for sure. I loved how everyone in the lab protected Mio. And Rintaro, OH MY HEART, he’s so so kind, protective & gentle with Mio it just makes the whole situation they’re in even more sad. I hope he’s not left alone in the end. Seriously Ayano & Ishihara have hit it out of the park with this drama; what started of as just a light (not to be taken too seriously) drama, ended up being a really beautiful one.

Not a fan of the ending of E8 but I’ll wait to see how it all plays out in the finale. I am not ready for this to end :(

Well don’t take my word for it. For all you know, you might end up loving it. Give it a try & see if it’s for you. The option to drop is always there :)

I can’t think of any drama that is similar to this, but these are some rom coms I highly recommend -

Sekai Ichi Muzakashii Koi
Zenkai Girl
Kekkon Dekinai Otoko
Remolove
Love Lasts Forever
Neechan No Koibito
Rich Man, Poor Woman
Date

First, he suspected that she was stalking him & chose to be ignorant about it rather than addressing it with her & trying to understand how he could resolve it. Secondly, he didn’t prepare her for rejection & tried to ensure that she was ready to listen to him & outrightly rejected her without even listening to her story & how she felt. Thirdly, after she cut off the call like that, he didn’t take any steps to check up on her to see how she was doing & let her reach that stage of self-harm.

I doubt he even documented the whole process or let alone speak to a supervisior which itself is unethical.

Also the fact that he took on a friend as a client itself is a huge boundary crossing that required even more attention & care.

Lot more issues, but these are the ones relating to your question.
