No romance, but fantastic drama nonetheless. Great mystery/suspense + acting + writing :)
No worries :)
Ayako & Riku are housemates & friends.
Junpei appears on each episode. He's Mochizuki's subordinate & the person who knows about the switch. He is the main person Mochizuki confides in & looks to for help.
Nakamura Yuri is Hidaka's secretary & she appears sometimes. She's just a minor supporting character.
Was I the only one who hasn't cried, at all, ep 9? It looks like everyone in here shed tears. I don't cry easily
Haha I don't cry easily but I've been crying a lot lately thanks to all the fantastic J dramas this season. E9 was pretty emotional for me (the 1st time this drama made me cry lol)
For something funny / fun - Yankee Kun to Megane Chan, My Boss My Hero, Ouran High School Host Club, Nobuta Wo…
Wow there's a lot. I felt the show lost its charm after the first 4 episodes. The leads relationship wasn't well developed (esp for him to propose) & was constantly bogged down by misunderstandings or break up in E9 that didn't make sense. Nami as a character never really took responsibility for her actions & constantly needed saving. Nanao's character as Reiko had a lot of potential. Esp in the final arc, it was really a let down. I wanted more on Nami/Reiko's relationship. Talented actors like Shotaro (Nakazawa), Kubota Sayu (Izumi), Nanao (Reiko) were totally under-utilised. The ending was lackluster as well.
I think most of us watching this were pretty disappointed because this had Devil Wears Prada vibes in the 1st few episodes & end up, it was nothing like that. Also Japan is a champion of workplace dramas, so this was a huge let down. It doesn't help that this entire season of J dramas were so fantastic that I was blown away by so many of them & this paled in comparison (writing wise)
When Hidaka said that both of them didn't need to go to hell together & Mochizuki said she will save him OH MAN…
Someone came up with this theory that Hidaka may be bluffing because in E1 he appeared to be gloating about the crime. Don't know how true that is, but it got me thinking that it may be a twist. Afterall, all this while he has appeared fishy but suddenly there's a spin & we think he's nice.. and with this show, you never know what to think.

IKR it beat all the sappy romantic confessions we're used to seeing. At least for me. That moment was when I was like DAMMNNNNN these two need to be together. Like before E9 I wasn't even shipping them together, but damn this episode changed everything. I feel like we're not going to get a happy ending & I am prepared to be heartbroken :(
I wish young Ha Ni would just listen to older Ha Ni for once & do as she says. Her ignorance really irritates…
Haha well that's one way to put it. But I disagree.
Just because that's what her character design is, it doesn't mean that she is not supposed to grow. Any drama/movie you watch, ultimately you want the characters to grow. She's been stuck at one point since the beginning. And we're already at E10. It feels like little has happened with her character. Not only that, even if a character is obnoxious, that's not all there is to them. Humans are often layered. Her character is very one note & that is off-putting.
RE: the actress - personally I don't think the actress is playing her character well. It is not that she puts me off (as the character should be), I feel this strong urge to fast-forward her scenes (meaning I don't want to see her). I have seen many dramas with spoilt characters, and while they've put me off at some point, the portrayal has always been layered in that regardless, I want to root for them and want to watch them more. It's quite different here. I'm not rooting for young Ha Ni & neither do I enjoy watching her. And that has a lot to do with the actress as well. Another actress might have brought more to the table.
Suzuka Ouji as Miyamura is one of the worst casting choices, the live action series is so much worse than the…
I haven't read/watched the anime & manga so I can't comment on that. But I like what he is doing in the drama. His acting as Miyamura is perfect & I like his chemistry with the FL.
although uchikare premise sound like a romcom at first i think its actually a slice of life, therefore im suggesting…
I get your point. And I can totally see the charm & the chemistry. I just wish the leads got a little more screen time together. Other than that, I do think its a very good drama on the subject matter :)

I was eagerly waiting for this!
I HOPE NOT THOUGH.

This is my opinion and we can agree to disagree.
