This drama is so addictive! Was just planning to skim through the first episode, but ended up binge watching all episodes in a day. Since it has more than half left to air, I hope it doesn't lose track!
Also, Jasper Liu<3 I have always liked him, and in this drama, I keep seeing flashes of Shison Jun and Seo Kangjoon in him!
I have watched ep 5 without subbed! Its getting more interesting... poor masashi.. still getting unrecognized…
Those were the divorce papers that his wife kept sending him. His wife keeps asking for the divorce, but he is the one that does not sign the papers. He says in the 5th episode while drinking with Junko " For some reason,I ended up signing this time"..
Half way down the line, the drama is as addictive as ever. Things seem to start moving a lot from next episode by the look of the preview! Come fast, next week!
Pleasantly surprised to see an article for this drama! This is my favorite on airing drama right now and times like this I wish it had more than one episode per week (though I doubt even that would satisfy me).. Even though I was kind of skeptical at first, ten minutes into the first episode and I was hooked. Like you mentioned, I love how it's heart fluttering and at the same time meaningful. Junko as a character is very relatable to me, and I can not help but root for her whoever she ends up with.
Well written article! I also dislike how it feels like the 2nd lead character was created just for the sake of being the 2nd lead who loves the FL and has no character depth whatsoever. One of the main reasons I stick with Jdramas these days.
P.S. I would have given multiple likes if I could, just for the %% header and footer <3
Was wary about starting it since this isn't the genre that I usually go for, but ended up loving it. Needs sub asap so that more people can enjoy this gem!
Do you know Chinese? Cause I found it in Chinese, but the manga has not ended yet, so we still don't know who…
Thank you, but sadly, only Japanese and English for me... Managed to find first two volumes, but not after that. Guess I just have to wait for another episode!
The third episode felt so short! Can next week come already?? Dying to know the story, and sadly can't seem to find the manga in language I understand..
First two eps were beyond my expectations! Romance aside, the drama depicts the worries of the women around my age really well, and it made me think of my own life so far..

Thanks for the article that this drama deserved! Stopped watching this drama after six episodes simply because my mind kept wandering to this drama and I could not get work done!! And yes, the ost really adds to the drama experience. It really fits in well, and every time I listen to it, it makes me want to drop what I'm doing and watch the new episodes
Wednesday can't come soon enough so that I can binge watch the rest!
'Reply 1997' is my fav with this trope, and among the recent ones, it's 'My ID is Gangnam Beauty '. The male leads are so swoony when they fall for the girl first!
Also, Jasper Liu<3 I have always liked him, and in this drama, I keep seeing flashes of Shison Jun and Seo Kangjoon in him!
Hope this helped :)
