konayuki

This is surprisingly one of my favorite dramas this season! It's so silly and hilarious but the plot is pretty engaging. I started watching it for Shinohara Ryoko and I think she really suits this kind of "quirky" character. For some reason, it reminds me a bit of her role in Last Cinderella (which I love). I also really enjoy all of her interactions with Bakarhythm. They make a great duo!

Ohh I’ve surprisingly never heard of Boku no aruku michi! I’ll check it out!!

There is absolutely no country in the world where it should be normalized for adults to date teenagers. Get yourself checked if you think it’s okay.

I'm tired of the whole "autistic=genius" trope but aside from that, the first episode was pretty enjoyable and Kadowaki Mugi is just adorable.

The shots of Fuji City with Mount Fuji in the background are breathtaking.

I’ve been enjoying this drama from the beginning despite not thinking there was anything really special about it but episode 6 just made me love it SO much more, I had to leave a comment! This episode is so so so important and so well made and I love all the different ways they showed what consent meant. It’s so important for Japan to have these conversations. I liked Riko’s acting in Black Cinderella but her performance in this drama is something different! She really moved me.

It's almost 2024, when will Japan finally be free from adult/high schooler relationship stories... 🙄

I mean... He's an abuser who's attracted to high school girls, I don't know how else they could portray him. Unless I'm misunderstanding your comment.

Fun fact, the drama Itaike ni koishite also uses an Olivia Rodrigo song as the theme song.

I believe it's more about the consequences of getting a divorce. She's a housewife with two kids... She doesn't have the finances to raise them all by herself.

Sorry, I just saw your comment! I wouldn't say that there is romance but the relationship between the leads is really nice, especially towards the second half.

I really can’t wait for this!!! 😭😭

I can’t believe I watched this whole thing just for them to romanticize stalking…… 😭

I'm actually going to miss this duo a lot,,, I need more of them!!

Well… At least, it wasn’t as bad as the manga (which isn’t hard since the manga is terrible) !

I really enjoyed this drama!!! Great performance from Wakamura Mayumi! It was also super interesting to watch her every week in this drama and then in Hatsukoi, Zarari because her role there is so different.

You're welcome!!

Well yes, because they kept the actors from the main drama where they play adults. It's just a spinoff.

Hello!! The MV is now officially out if you still want to check it out!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z-_XtdtMwk

A woman-centric drama? Count me in!! <333
