Perfect Crime (2019)

If you're looking for an interesting show with nice romance and plot don't watch.

The original plot was pretty good but it was done terribly and just got ruined.
The FL should have more backbone, like she's an accomplished woman and she gets herself get treated like dirt.
Even her 'standing up for herself' was mushy and only happened because she wanted to sleep with the ML. Who by the way is a HUGE RED FLAG. There is no excuse, he raped his old girlfriend and since I don't want to give anymore spoilers ill just say that the show was predictable and crudely made.

So if you watch it just turn off your brain and try to enjoy.

By the way I love Dori but honestly I don't think that his acting can save this drama.

This is not an ordinary love story!

Even though it might seems extreme story for few people maybe the youngest I fully understand the plot the story of revenge & love triangles. If you see beyond these you will understand that this is a story where all the characters were searching love, security and acception in wrong places of course. All of them loved the wrong person and that only was the beginning of the end....Couldn't see any happy ending but it seems that they wanted to give hope to the trapped in the revenge couple and have together a fresh start. It was a good passionate love story. Really enjoyed Dori and the FL!

A Perfect Disaster

The premise for this was intriguing but it wasn’t well written.

The FL has been having an affair with her married boss for years. Then in walks the ML (Dori Sakurada) a colleague who has transferred to the Tokyo office from NYC. He understandably turns all the women’s heads in the office including the FL. Right away, he discovers the affair between the FL and her boss, and immediately starts demanding she breaks off the relationship, which was odd since he knew nothing about her. He does give her some good advice about looking out for herself. Claims to dislike her, but then proceeds to come on to her before showing up at her apartment late one night demanding she ends things with her boss then attempts to seduce her. She surrenders to the seduction, sleeping with him. Why is baffling considering she knows nothing about this guy.

But suddenly after knowing the ML for about a day and sleeping with him, she has feelings for him. And thus breaks off her affair with her boss as the ML has instructed. The FL has no personality, no self-awareness or realizations of her own. Throughout the series most of her decisions are directed or heavily influenced by the men in her life.

The characters had no depth and were simply there to serve the plot. Hence the “love story” in this was not endearing at all.

The best thing about this was Dori Sakurada. It’s always great to see him, but even he is not enough to save this series.

NO MEANS NO

I could have enjoy this drama more if the women were not made to be puppets of these men. I question what they think is love. To force someone into sex the way these women were force I don't consider it love. They were pressure and to me, that is rape. When they are saying "NO" and the men keep going and force them into bed to me that is rape. I wonder what the writer consider what is love. These men treat love as an obsession, to be dominants and ruler of their partner or have more then one partner. The writer need to open their eyes and see what the world is like realistic around them. What are really women now in 2022, Yes, at the end the lead girl gets a back bone and choses for herself but through out the the drama most at these women were being cattle by the men with pressure to keep their job and to do what ever they said, if they wanted to move up in the company. The women are made to look naïve and stupid and to keep everything to themselves or just to say keep quite. Yes it has a happy ending but I can't give it much of a rating. We are in the 21st century and women are independent, smart, and know how to work along men to be equal. Many of us lead major companies. The writer should start understanding this.

I love that Japanese dramas are short and easy to watch. They don't have the same production quality as Korean dramas, but it's definitely gotten better over the past few years. I fell in love with Dori in Coffee and Vanilla and decided to watch this one. Though there isn't really a "crime" involved anywhere, the plot is decent. I enjoyed the love triangles and was satisfied with the outcome. However, said outcome was rather predictable and I knew half way through how things would turn out. All in all, the series isn't anything spectacular, but still enjoyable enough to watch all the way through.

Okay, firstly Shinonome can push me up against a wall any time!!!
Probably the only reason why I end up watching this drama.

The story was okay, but not wow (I started with another drama while watching this), acting, well was good, character that I mostly disliked was probably the FL, Maejima. Not because she was weak when it comes to sexual desire, but she's stupid in understanding others. Now a person that is extremely good with planning but bad at reading people?!? doesn't makes sense at all.
Overall, its not a totally waste of time, as the episodes run is short and there isn't much anyway. Cute love story with a good ending.

Spoiler Alert:

I couldn't understand why the drama's title is 'Perfect Crime', something only made clear in the last few episodes which end up having to do with Ono the 3rd male lead...

Shocking Plot Twist

Storyline/Plot: First of all, I wasn't expecting any thing that happened in this drama. I thought the reason for Haruto telling Koari to stop sleeping with her boss was because as a man, he knew that he wasn't going to leave his wife for her. But, as I kept watching their was a deeper meaning behind it which I was shocked. Then, their was more to the story from watching the first couple episodes, which everything exposes and comes together towards the end. Which the story changes from this being a women having an affair with her boss but something bigger and deeper. I have to give the writer a round of applause cause this was different and just shocking to watch.

Acting/Cast: Of course, I have to give Dori Sakurado his flowers cause I watched this because of him. But not to discredit the other actors/actresses, they did really well with their acting. However, I am not going to lie but Haruto (ML) he made me mad at times.

In conclusion, I will definitely re-watch this drama since it was really good and I have been watching peoples edits on YouTube which is pretty good without spoiling the drama.

Not worth your time

I really can't believe how shallow all of the characters in this series are... They kind of not have a personality, I don't know. The guy just goes after the girl to take some kind of revange and I got really disconforted with it, it kinda looked like sexual harassment to me. Then they show the past of the guy with his real crush, that is a woman that worked together with him and he basically forced sex on her twice. Its not treated as violence, what makes it even worse for me, but that's it. after I saw how "the girl was cheating on her husband" was actually her guy friend forcing himself on her I dropped this s**t. It doesn't have a good story, the characters don't have a good chemistry, it's just awful hahah

Dori Sakurada, você esta passando alguma necessidade?

Tenebroso, só tem psicopata nessa bomba. Comecei a assistir porque tem o Dori Sakurada e os eps eram curtos...Péssima escolha. Me surpreende essa bomba ter uma avaliação a cima de um.
Vergonha alheia. Plot twist meia boca. Personagens doentes. Romatização de temas sérios, como por exemplo assédio e abuso sexual, temos pelo menos umas duas cenas que as personagens falam que não querem nada com um dos homens e ele continua insistindo até que eles transam. As personagens femininas são totalmente sem personalidade, parecem umas bonecas. Estão ali só de enfeite, principalmente a principal. Ela só não é a mais sem sal, porque a corna da esposa do presidente é mais.
Não se submetam a assistir.
Pelo menos aqueles efeitos de tela verde mal feitos e corridas em câmera lenta me geraram boas risadas.

So, after watching the first episode of "Perfect Crime..." I am wondering what direction this is going to go. At the same time, I am kind of done with how predictable this story is (already). Typical subordinate-woman (Kaori) in a love affair with her boss (Fuyuki) who is married/has a family story - and this Fuyuki dude is super gross and controlling, of course (just the way he talks to Kaori makes me wanna puke). But she's head over heels (and Fuyuki is her boss so what's a woman to do in that situation am I right?) Well, surprise, surprise... a new guy (Haruto) obviously from NYC, comes in with advice on what she should do that she didn't ask for. The way this drama depicts women is pretty shitty, but it's Japan afterall. The preview for the next episode is downright nauseating... but we'll see. Maybe my mind will totally be changed. It's called "Perfect Crime," after all, and I love a good creepy crime drama. Is he actually gonna help her in some way, or is he just another creepy scumbag (even worse than Fuyuki), who plays the "I'm gonna save you," image? I kind of feel a bit of the psychopath vibes that you can see in Netflix's new drama "You." I guess I'll watch the next episode.
