One of the things I love about J doramas compared to K-dramas is how short they are. It takes a very special kind of J dorama to feel tediously overlong and drawn out with only 9 45 minute episodes. Harassment Game is one of those happily rare exceptions.

The core storyline had potential but the execution was a muddled mess. Nothing of real import to the core plot happened until partway through episode 7 of 9, by which point resistance WAS futile :)

I stayed for some ofg the characters, especially Akitsu and his wife and daughter. His compliance office colleague seemed implausibly naive and fragile for such a role. Which was a major disappointment, as Hirose Alice was the reason I started the Drama. Overall, an unsatisfying experience, except for the delightful Akitsu family
