Netflix may have destroyed K-Dramas, but they've really helped J-Dramas. Romatics Anonymous was surprisingly good even though some of it reminded me of Tastefully Yours (not a bad thing, I actually liked TY). It was well plotted out - each episode focusing on one of the handmade candies offered in boxed set. It seemed natural how FL/ML grew to respect and then love each other - although there was certainly a supernatural element since she, who couldn't look anyone in the eye, and he, who couldn't touch anyone, managed to look and touch each other without any problem. ML fell first since FL had the mistaken impression that SML was the man who saved her and thus, wasted most of the drama trying to work up the courage to confess to her crush. It was heart-warming to see FL become accepted by the other workers at the chocolate store. It was just a really good drama considering what Japan normally produces. I'm not sure why it's called Romantics Anonymous when the only anonymous person was FL who anonymously provided one of the candies in the boxed set. But most of these Asian dramas have odd names so whatever. I didn't quite understand SML's fascination with FL/ML's therapy doctor or their relationship. Maybe I missed something but I didn't understand what her issue was with being with SML. They apparently slept together and then she keeps running away from having a relationship with him. That couple was just...off. SML, although sexy, displayed little emotion so I found it hard to believe he was in love with the doctor. As for the doctor, she was just confusing and not very likeable. It felt as though the writer was 'forcing' a relationshp between these two because the plot needed another couple for some reason. Trust me, it would have been fine without their relationship.
