Takeru Satoh is awesome, and so is Sei Shiraishi. The script can go f itself
Bear with me, the last J-drama I watched was Hatsukoi (First Love), and even though it also suffers the same fate as most Japanese dramas of overly very happy ending, and albeit having a very cliche plot (amnesia), the script and characters were more realistic and relatable.
I dont get why other dramas cant get on the same level and suffer with overly genki characters with little concern for realism. Are these the usual conversations Japanese dads tell their daughters (epi1)? Really? Is everyone this genki at work? I know there’s a concept of tatemae but this is over the top and seriously just cringe. There’s a really fine line between tatemae and cringe, and other dramas are able to balance that out. Is this the work of an amateur script writer?
It doesnt help that the main actress here I find that her acting is abysmally poor. This is honestly the first time that I cant stand a main character. It doesnt help her case that the script is so bad. Remind me to check the cast before I watch any J-drama in the future (I’ll be sure to check the script writer too).
The only other thing that saved this drama is the main villain’s character. Her actress also performed really well. However, the lack of backstory honestly felt a bit disappointing, and how she even became a “naturally” evil human being suffered because of that.
I dont know, the first half had me, the latter part just has too many wtf moments.
I need to remind myself to avoid this drama’s script writer and the main actress.
