Game fun
The fashion in this drama is absolutely lovely. All the dangly hair bits and ribbons from their robes. I love this unique style of fashion for all characters.
I really enjoyed watching ‘Love Game in Eastern Fantasy.’ It’s a cute and fun, fantasy adventure drama that combines a lot of my favourite things.
We are drawn into the story fairly quickly and there is good pacing throughout, with only some small parts that feel a bit glossed over. The tone of the drama is mostly light, even though there are serious situations, and I think this made me feel less worried for the characters.
I loved the aesthetic of the drama – the beautiful blue skies, lush sceneries and rich, colourful costumes. I loved how vibrant it was. There were also some very dreamy scenes. I’m not sure how much of it was CGI, but the sets really looked very beautiful and perfect for a magical world.

I should have known when I heard the bagpipes that this show was gonna be cheeks
I just finished this stupid-ass show (like a month ago now), and I have a lot to say, both positive and negative. I would give it an 8 (7.95) out of 10, and I am going to say what I liked, what I didn't like, do an episode overview, and be done with this stupid fucking show. So yeah, let's get into it.Starting out with what I liked, I enjoyed the actors in this quite a bit. I think they all did a pretty good job, even though I could tell they are kind of new at acting. The chemistry between the main couples was good, and that part I enjoyed. While I am not particularly fond of the characters, I think the actors did a good job bringing them to life. The guy who played Rit was so aware that this show was low-key ass, and it was really funny, and I low-key liked it. I wish they did more fourth-wall breaking like they did at the start because that was really funny. He was just like, well aware, like, oh my God, what the fuck am I acting in right now? And I love that for him. Also, regarding actors and stuff I liked about them, the guy who played pure lowkey was way too into his role. Like, oh my God. The looks he was giving the other guy were very good; immaculate acting on his part. He and the main love interest looked really similar, but it is okay. Very good at acting. He was very on the nose, and I hope to see him in some more stuff because I like his acting style. It feels very kind of natural, like the guy who played Rit, but more of a Hey, maybe you need to step back and realize that you guys are not actually in love, kind of natural. Still, I enjoyed it.
Moving on to the overall plot of this show, I have a lot of negative feelings about the plot, but we are going to talk about the positive ones. I really enjoyed the plot twist. I low-key was not expecting that. I was expecting this show to just be like, oh, Rit tells him, Inn gets mad, and then they just spend the whole time making up. But no, Inn has known this entire time, and he, in fact, lied back to Rit about not knowing that he is lying to him, and then he set up the entire show to be a lie on top of a lie, which was low-key good., I cannot lie (see what I did there) because I was not expecting that. With the three musketeers or whatever the fuck they were called, I thought that was weird, but I was not expecting it to be an entire lie. Like, he is paying these people to just get them married and get him in his house, which is low-key crazy. Diabolical planning on his part, that is all I have to say. And then also, with the best friend being in on the lie along with the K-pop idol, holy shit. And Rit had every right to be mad because that was fucking crazy that everyone in his life was in on this goddamn lie. I thought that was low-key well done because I was not expecting that. Also, kind of regarding the plot, I think their sex scenes were well done. They were overdone, but they did well besides the bagpipes. I did not like that. I should have known with the bagpipes that this entire show was going to go downhill from there. But yeah, the sex scenes- some of them felt a little bit out of place, but I think they still did pretty well, so good for them because they brought those to life as well.
Regarding things I didn't like, this entire show. Bullshit on bullshit on bullshit. Starting off with... The main plot, this was... God awful. I thought it was just gonna be like a nice, light watch, but it was just like, kind of sloppy. Like... Okay, so he's a fortune teller with stones, and he lies about fortune telling to get with a guy he's had a crush on since elementary school, but they have like an age gap too, but the guy also had a crush on him in elementary school, so that just gets fucking weird and confusing. They should have done the part where they show that he has had a crush on him since elementary school earlier, because it just got confusing, and I feel like they were getting lost in the sauce with this. And I'm like, okay, yeah, I think my main criticism is that the plot felt sloppy and underdone. Like, you can have underdone plots, but you need, like... To just have the plot be better, because this was just a mess. And I don't blame the actors, because I think they did okay. Uh, but the director-whoever wrote this-we need to go back to the drawing board, pick up the gun, and we need to fucking shoot ourselves, because there's actually no way that we came up with something this fucking stupid. And it's just like your sky, where they have a bar named after the thing, but instead of, like, your sky where they go to the bar once, the entire plot takes place in this fuck-ass bar. And I was like, what the hell? I feel like we're always at the bar, but also we're never at the bar. I'm so fucking confused. And also, the main guy who it's based on does not even own the bar. Like, why is it called Magic Move if he doesn't own the bar? I'm so fucking confused.
I FORGOT ABOUT THE SOUND EFFECTS. OH MY FUCKINGGGGG GODDDDDD. THE BAGPIPES WERE JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG BECAUSE THEY WERE SO FUCKING BAD. WHOEVER DID THAT, I AM GONNA FIND YOU AND DO UNSPEAKABLE ACTS TO YOU, AND THEN T BAG YOUR BODY.
Going into characters, the random guy who tried to split them apart—was he doing that for the love of the game? Was he in love with one of them? I am so confused. That was so underdone and so terrible. I do not know who came up with that, but that was awful. I am so confused. Then the guy sends an AI video to In, and In goes to this abandoned warehouse to find his man, but the man is not there because the video was AI. Then the guy gets arrested; he is cutting himself, and the knife is fake. I am so confused. Who came up with that? You are terrible at your job. I cannot fathom how that went through multiple people, and everybody signed off on that. That was terrible. I also love the girls and their dance thing with the K-pop idol, but no, that felt so irrelevant. They just randomly started doing it. It is like, oh, we have a big competition to go to. What competition are we talking about? What are we doing? What is going on? They never go to the competition. They just do the same dance six times in the same outfit. The K-pop idol just stands there giving false criticism. Do not piss me off. Whoever came up with that, go back to the drawing board and ALSO grab the gun.
In the end, this show is ass; the ending was choppy, the show was choppy, and I'm irritated as fuck, HEY BUT AT LEAST WE HAVE OUR FUCKING BAG PIPIES, RIGHTTTTTT??????
Okay, onto some fun quotes from those episodes. Episode 1: "He has a crush on this tall guy who looks exactly like the guy who runs the bar just slightly cuter and I’m not quite sure how they’re gonna drag this out for 10 more episodes but okay also whoever is on the sound button you need to be fired cause what the fuck are you fucking doing you dumb bitch what the fuck there comes a point we’re past that point and you need to be fired." Episode 2: "This show is so BS and I want to hate it, but I can't lmao." Episode 3: "Holy hickory doo dah bro. This whole show. Okay so he's not wrong about the prophecy because he's in love with its less sexy twin who owns the bar. I’m gonna do one more episode because twist my arm, I guess." Episode 4: "It might be the fact that it’s 1:30 in the morning or the fact that they just played in my face for 47 minutes, but what the fuck." Episode 5: "THERE'S LIKE 6 THINGS HAPPENED AT ONCE, AND I WANT TO HATE IT ESPECIALLY WITH THE BAGPIPES, BUT FOR SOME REASON I CAN'T. I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO HATE THIS DUMB ASS SHIT." Episode 6: "To the guy in the second couple who's not the bar owner, I would watch out after filming bc HOMEBOY LOOKS LIKE HE WANTS TO HIT THAT." "WHY HAVE WE FUCKED MORE TIMES THAN THERE HAVE BEEN EPISODES? ALSO YOURE MOM JUST GOT HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL, AND YALL ARE FUCKING IN THE LIVING ROOMM??? HAVE WE LOST OUR MINDS? I'll answer that YES WE HAVE BITCH." Episode 7: "Someone tell the guy who's playing Pure to lock out for a second because those LOOKS ARE CRAZY." Episode 8: "There are levels to this." Episode 9: "Also, the grandpa died just really quickly, like really quickly, really randomly. I'm so lost. I have one episode left. I'm gonna force myself to watch this shit, but just know I'm not gonna do it happily."
I really want to hate this show, and I do, but not fully, so I guess give it a chance; just make sure your brain is off, and your eyes are closed lmao. Okay bye!

A Beautiful Story, an Unforgettable Love
Blossom is one of those dramas that completely captured my heart. From the very beginning, I was drawn into its beautiful story, emotional depth, and carefully developed characters. The plot was engaging, meaningful, and full of romance, tension, and heartfelt moments. I loved how the story continued to hold my attention and how every important event added something to the characters and their relationship.The direction was also beautifully done. The drama had a polished and elegant atmosphere, and every scene felt carefully created. The pacing was smooth, the storytelling was easy to follow, and the emotional moments were presented in a way that made them even more powerful. The visuals, costumes, settings, and overall atmosphere created a wonderful world that was easy to become completely immersed in.
The acting was another major strength of Blossom. The entire cast performed very well, but Meng Ziyi was truly outstanding. She brought so much strength, intelligence, emotion, and charm to her character. I loved watching her because she made every scene feel alive. She was strong when she needed to be, vulnerable when the story required it, and incredibly expressive throughout the drama. Her performance made the character feel real, memorable, and deeply lovable.
Li Yunrui was also excellent in his role. He gave a sincere, powerful, and emotionally convincing performance. His character had strength and determination, but he also showed warmth and vulnerability in the right moments. He matched Meng Ziyi perfectly, and together they created a relationship that felt genuine and deeply emotional.
However, the biggest highlight of this drama for me was definitely the chemistry between Meng Ziyi and Li Yunrui. I absolutely loved their energy as a couple. Their chemistry was natural, intense, sweet, and incredibly captivating. Every time they appeared together, the entire atmosphere changed. Whether they were sharing a quiet look, having an emotional conversation, facing danger, or simply standing next to each other, their connection was always impossible to ignore.
What I loved most was that their relationship felt emotional as well as romantic. They were not just a beautiful couple; they felt like two people who truly understood, respected, and supported each other. Their bond developed in a way that made me care about every step of their journey. The trust between them, the way they protected each other, and the emotions hidden behind their smallest gestures made their romance even more special.
Meng Ziyi and Li Yunrui have the kind of chemistry that makes you look forward to every scene they share. Their expressions, their timing, and the energy between them made their relationship feel incredibly believable. I was completely invested in them as a couple, and honestly, I could have watched many more scenes of them together. They truly brought the heart and soul of Blossom to life.
Overall, Blossom was a wonderful and unforgettable viewing experience for me. It had a beautiful storyline, excellent direction, strong performances, and a romance filled with emotion and genuine chemistry. Meng Ziyi and Li Yunrui were absolutely perfect together, and their energy as a couple was one of the main reasons I enjoyed this drama so much.
I gave Blossom a 10/10 on kisskh, and I gave it with all my heart. This is a drama I will remember for its beautiful story, its emotional journey, and most of all, for the incredible love and chemistry between its leads. If you enjoy heartfelt romance, strong characters, beautiful storytelling, and a couple who completely light up the screen, Blossom is definitely worth watching

A Masterpiece in Human Connection
Some dramas entertain. Some inspire. Very few understand people so deeply that they quietly change the way you look at life. My Mister is one of those rare masterpieces. This isn't a drama built around shocking twists or constant excitement. It's a slow, deeply emotional journey through loneliness, hardship, kindness, and healing. Every episode asks you to sit with its characters, understand their pain, and witness how even the smallest acts of compassion can change someone's life.The writing is extraordinary, but what elevates this drama into masterpiece territory is its authenticity. Every character feels real, flawed, and painfully human. Nothing feels exaggerated or forced. The slow pacing isn't a weakness, it's one of the drama's greatest strengths. It allows silence, expressions, and ordinary conversations to carry emotions that words alone never could. The result is one of the most emotionally powerful and realistic stories I've ever watched. I found myself crying multiple times, not because the drama tried to manipulate my emotions, but because everything felt so honest.
IU delivers what I genuinely consider one of the greatest acting performances I've ever seen. Stripping away all her idol glamour, IU completely disappears into Ji-an's cold, guarded, and battered persona. Every micro-expression, guarded glance, and heavy breath carries years of trauma and survival instinct. Lee Ji-an is one of the finest female characters I've encountered in any form of media, and IU brought her to life with incredible restraint, vulnerability, and emotional depth. It's still difficult for me to believe she didn't win the Baeksang Best Actress award for this role. To me, this is a benchmark for character writing, emotional storytelling, and human connection. I've watched over a hundred K-dramas, and My Mister remains firmly in my all-time top five. It's not just a masterpiece of Korean television. It's one of the finest stories about humanity that I've ever experienced. ❤️

yumi finally did It! (her job)
Babi knows how to be a good boyfriend, too bad for that moment of distraction. I was very happy that yumi managed to become a writer, and the marriage with the editor-in-chief and her friend, chef kiss, he will finally have a name carved in stone long-term. I'm also glad that Yumi remained on good terms with both Wung and Babi, I was rooting for Wung though.The ending was not predictable. And maybe that's why it was perfect the way it was. I can't wait to see the next season. I just started these and I'm finishing them so quickly!

Overall a good feel good movie
I ended up binging the whole thing as the first few episodes were quite funny and gripping. The plot is ok at best but the female lead here carries. Love the actresses acting and hope she gets more main lead roles in the future.The plot is quite typical country style themed where you have multiple villagers as side characters. Not different to other shows of similar tropes (think Hometown Cha Cha Cha). I did find it unique to have a female lead who is a bit more cautious and suspicious of her surroundings. Would have loved to see more of this side to her throughout the drama rather than being clustered near the beginning. The male lead was cute as well. Not much to comment really. I wish they explored a few more stories relating to the leads’ childhoods. The FL’s childhood upbringing was briefly touch on here and there but I would have appreciated more screen time dedicated to that part of her life. Since it’s a 12 episode drama I’m assuming they had to make some cuts. This is the issue viewers have been experiencing with recent dramas and their 12episode productions. The four episodes they cut take time away from the story, either leaving the ending rushed or the plot weak. Even the ML’s childhood was only briefly touched on at the end episode. I know this is nitpicky but I also know that 16episode dramas would have delivered this to us.
Overall this is a good feel good drama. Quite lighthearted and would definitely recommend a rewatch for a lazy evening.

Sad
I am not part of the audience that tuned into Overdo solely for the main leads. Regrettably, the primary couple's storyline suffers from unnecessary padding and sluggish pacing. My interest naturally shifted toward the Yu and Ye pairing, but they were severely underutilized. Not only was their screen time minimal, but Yu was also written out of the show midway. The episode that abruptly concluded his character arc and derailed the secondary couple's development ultimately exhausted my patience with the series.Was this review helpful to you?
Eliminating Bi Erasure
I waited and waited and waited for the day I would finally see a Bi reality dating show appear from Korea. Finally, I got my wish. Was it everything I hoped for? Yes and no.I felt the openness of all the participants to meet and become close to new people and, perhaps, fall for someone while staying at the BI-LIVE house. That they felt comfortable enough to express their varying levels of attraction to people of the same/different gender, without judgment.
While I felt some participants were more sincere about their feelings than others, that didn't matter to me as much as real representation of Bisexual people being on the screen.
Unlike His Man, this reality dating show didn't set up a dialogue/prompt a conversation for everyone to discuss their experience of coming to terms with their sexuality, coming out, and/or the difficulties they faced because of it. Particularly for Bisexual people and the discrimination/pushback they face from Straight people AND the Queer community, I felt this was a huge missed opportunity to start a conversation/dispel stereotypes about Bisexual people. Additionally, I did shake my head at the times dates set a requirement to date a specific gender. I wished the date options were more free. Limiting one's options in that manner seems counterproductive to a Bisexual reality dating show, if you ask me (a Bisexual person). I understand wanting to "mix things up," but there are plenty of other ways to do that without making gender a factor. They managed it with other non-gender-related limitations they set for dates.
Any of my criticisms being said, I have to applaud this show for virtue of being such a valuable stepping stone in LGBT+ representation. Too often, Bisexual people are dismissed/ignored. It was good to see them not only highlighted but treated like others.

A fridge with built-in AI ? One that tells you what recipes to make with what's inside ? Who asks for that ? Why ? And those round, translucent ice cubes, do people even want those ? Excuse me ? Their job is a joke.I have a problem with Seo In-guk. Park Ji-hyun looks like she's 10 years older than him, but in real life it's the other way around. My real issue is that he only plays characters who seem autistic without it ever being explicitly stated, and only highlights the quirky and charming aspects typically associated with autism. Is he autistic himself ? He doesn't mention it in interviews ; I've searched extensively, and while he shares details about his private life, he doesn't talk about this. Between this role and Boyfriend on Demand, it's a lot. And I'll admit, it bugs me a little. The difficulties with social interactions, the list written on his window, the identical outfits, the unchanging habits, etc... They really did their homework when it comes to the most obvious clichés.
Those two characters drove me sick from the very first second. They make their lives so complicated for no reason, it's fascinating. A totally stupid rom-com. She loves him, he loves her, we love each other, you love each other... but here's the thing ! He'll go back to America if their stupid translucent ice cube project works out. What a tragedy ! So we have to push each other away without saying how we feel. We have no choice ! What else can you do when you're in love ? Especially when you haven't actually done anything concrete yet, when you're still complete strangers to each other… Your whole life revolves around this coworker who's about to get promoted. And leave. That's pathetic, don't you think ? You have no passions, no hobbies ? Respect yourself !
I wonder why I keep watching this kind of thing. I knew what I was getting myself into. Propaganda that's never been so obvious. I doubt that's how relationships actually work in Korea. They want the world to believe that Korean men aren't such horrible misogynists that Korean women refuse to date them. It would be unbelievable if that were true, wouldn't it? I wonder. 4B Undong, you say ? never heard of it.
The side story with the guy wearing round glasses : Stop, no, that's enough, cut it out ! It's absolutely terrible. I was screaming inside during every scene. All the men (every single one of them) in this series are unbearable and selfish, but they're trying to make them out to be cute guys who are clueless about their own feelings. The women have to fight for these guys... how sad ! "It's realistic" some might say. I'm going to splash some water on my face.
Park Ji-hyun, I adore you, but between this and Flex Cop, you're making me watch some truly awful things. My health is at risk.
In the French class, they wrote "bonjour" in big letters. This must be serious.

When Acting Becomes Art
Some dramas impress you with their story. Others stay with you because of a single unforgettable performance. Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born gave me both. While I don't think the story was consistently outstanding from beginning to end, it was meaningful, inspiring, and filled with memorable moments and life lessons. At its core, it's a story about dreams, perseverance, sacrifice, and the price people are willing to pay for something they truly love.Kim Tae-ri is simply phenomenal. This is one of the finest acting performances I've ever watched in a K-drama. She completely disappears into Jeongnyeon, making every emotion, every struggle, and every small victory feel genuine. There were scenes that genuinely moved me to tears, not because they were overly dramatic, but because her performance felt so honest. It's easy to understand why she won the Baeksang Best Actress award for this role. She absolutely earned it.
I ended up giving this drama a 9/10. The story didn't quite reach masterpiece territory for me, but the acting certainly did. More importantly, I walked away with new perspectives and lessons that I'll remember for a long time. That's something I value more than perfect pacing or constant excitement. If you appreciate character-driven stories, passionate performances, and watching someone give everything to chase their dream, I highly recommend giving Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born a chance. It reminded me that having a dream is a blessing, and that some performances are so authentic they stay with you long after the final curtain falls. ❤️

Perhaps the meaning of life is remembering every scene that has passed -Ko Eun Sae
This drama received a surprising amount of backlash even before it premiered. Much of the criticism was directed at the casting of JHI and the premise, which made it seem like the male lead was nothing more than a creepy stalker pretending to be the boyfriend of a woman suffering from amnesia. What I found strange was the obvious double standard. There have been plenty of dramas and movies where the female lead pretends to be the girlfriend of an amnesiac male lead, yet those stories are usually treated as harmless romantic comedies rather than something controversial.After watching it myself, I honestly think this drama deserves a chance. It is nowhere near as bad as the early comments made it out to be. One of its biggest strengths is its pacing. The story avoids dragging out unnecessary misunderstandings, and most of the smaller conflicts are resolved quickly instead of stretching across multiple episodes. There is also a nice little plot twist near the ending, and thankfully the drama delivers a satisfying happy ending for both main leads.
If you enjoy romantic comedies with a touch of crime, violence, and legal elements, I highly recommend giving this one a try. Beyond the romance, the drama also offers heartwarming themes of family and friendship that make the characters and their relationships feel even more rewarding.
Another thing I appreciated was how every major character received a proper backstory. Even the villains were given understandable motivations, making them feel like real people instead of one dimensional antagonists. It doesn't excuse their actions, but it does help you understand why they became who they are.
The entire cast did a fantastic job. The chemistry between the two leads developed naturally, evolving from awkward strangers with trust issues into a couple that genuinely loved and trusted each other. Their romance never felt forced. The interactions with the residents of Candy Village were equally enjoyable. Watching the villagers go from constantly clashing with one another to becoming a close knit family was one of the most heartwarming parts of the drama. I also appreciated that the second couple wasn't forgotten, they had their own storyline with a satisfying conclusion instead of simply existing to support the main romance.
The biggest reason I fell in love with this drama, however, was Ha Young. I had previously seen her in The Trauma Code and several other dramas where she mostly played supporting roles. I was especially curious about her after watching Teach You a Lesson, where she looked absolutely gorgeous. But this is the drama that truly made me realize how talented she is. Her acting feels incredibly natural, and she brings every emotion to life effortlessly. Whether she's portraying serious moments, adorable comedic scenes, or romantic emotions, she delivers them with convincing expressions and perfect timing. I completely fell for her performance, and yes, she's drop dead gorgeous. It honestly wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she carries the drama with her charm and screen presence alone.
My main criticism is the way the villains were handled in the final episodes. After giving us so many beautiful and romantic moments, the drama failed to provide satisfying consequences for its antagonists. The main villain, despite having a surprisingly emotional backstory, received a punishment that felt far too lenient considering everything that had happened. Likewise, the female lead's ex-bf, who acted as a spy, essentially walked away without facing any real consequences. That left the ending feeling slightly incomplete.
Overall, this turned out to be one of the biggest surprises of the year for me. Ignore the pre-release controversy and judge it after actually watching it. If you're looking for a romantic comedy with lovable characters, natural chemistry, emotional friendships, that family does not have to be blood related, and a satisfying happy ending, this drama is definitely worth your time.

Dream for us all at this point.
Starts off strong with the to-the-point approach to emotional turmoil. Does not beat around confessions, past wounds, backstory and childhood traumas - which saves a lot of confusion and back-and-forth for us all.But it falls off by the second episode in terms of quite literally everything. The acting is childish and immature, the female lead is infantalised by the plot itself; the guy has an odd way to deal with his past and emotions by disappearing for a decade and re-appear believing in immediate forgiveness, comeback AND working together on the singular thing that symbolises their vulnerable relationship, all the while stuck on a past version of the female lead, completely undoing the life the latter has made for herself after the tragedy.
The tropes are juvenile and cliched: the white truck-kun, the staring into the headlights as a car approaches blindly, the tripping and falling into arms, the drunk yelling and waking up unclothed in a strange bed, the deliberate weird situations, the forced humour. It's nearly unbearable to watch.
THE SECOND LEADS THOUGH!!!! Amazing chemistry, tropes and progression. Need more screen time for them.
The cinematography and music though remain top-notch. Hope they pick the pace and resolve this childishness.

Kawaii but not so kawaii grooming story
I'm definitely not the target audience of this drama. The female lead's only personality throughout the whole series is being 'kawaii' (cute), if that can be considered a personality. Every straight man in the drama would fall for her and be blessed by her cuteness and nothing else is needed.Everyone is toxic and everything is ridiculous from the beginning till the end. This drama has all kinds of cliché tropes and cheesy lines combined in 10 episodes. Thank God it only has 10 episodes. I appreciate the cast's efforts, but even their acting and pretty faces couldn't save this embarassing plot. I hope they got paid enough for the job.
I think the person who wrote this story was probably still an elementary or middle school student when they wrote it. Nothing makes sense already, starting from how innocent the female lead is, as a university student. And what kind of CEO the male lead is to be in such a dangerous state that someome would kidnap and want to kill his girlfriend?
One ridiculous scene that I remember now was when the female lead's so-called best friend asked her to lend her boyfriend to her. I really wish the female lead could slap that bitch right in her face and end their friendship right there, instead of rolling her puppy eyes again and apologizing to that bitch and accepting her ridiculous request. Girl, she's not your friend! She's a snake! To make things worse, the female lead's boyfriend also accepted the deal to go on a romantic date with both his girlfriend and her friend at the same time. I was so done lol. I can't rate this drama any higher.
Also, I think this drama would be the fastest way to teach a Japanese beginner learner how to say the word 'gomennasai' (sorry). The female lead kept saying it in almost every scene she was in. Besides 'kawaii', that word is now stuck in my head. I think this drama should be renamed into ‘Kawaii and Gomennasai’.
