For a manga adaptation, the acting in “The Reason We Fall in Love” is quite normal, and I am happy about it. This drama is really simple and you’ve seen similar stories before.. Some might find it slow and does not enough substance.

Who might like this drama? Those who enjoy:
1. The beginning stage of the guessing game (does he/she like me?)
2. Pining and longing
3. Likable characters who don’t annoy you too much
4. No love triangle

I happen to like all the above, so I find this drama good enough for a quick binge. Unfortunately, all the romance storylines follow this format - guessing, pining, misunderstanding, honest talks to resolve issues somewhat quickly - rinse and repeat this 3 times.

I like the main couple, but the other two are a little ‘meh’ to me. There are a few kisses with a somewhat good/decent one (for Japanese standard). I am happy to see the couple showing affection in a pretty natural way. The three main actresses are really pretty, but I find the guys less appealing. The pouty look on ML’s face is weird and took me a few episodes to get used to it. He looks so much better in “Usokon” but here, they put way too much makeup on him.

I will only recommend “The Reason We Fall in Love” for those who like the 4 points I listed above, and are looking for an easy and light-hearted short binge.
