Subjective Gut Rating: 6.75

This is a simple, cute, and fluffy drama that doesn’t require a lot of brain power. The drama is really short with only 6 episodes and each is less than 25 minutes long. And because of that, not a lot of time is devoted to each subplot. The romance happens fast and furious (in a cute way). The challenges the leads face as a couple and in business are simple and easily involved. The last arc with the brother probably took the most screen time. Even in typical Japanese speedy fashion in storytelling, I still feel everything is rushed.

The romance is cute and with no angst or misunderstanding at all. MLis a combination of a green flag and a red flag. He’s adored by all due to his handsome looks and mild-mannered and polite personality. He’s not afraid to show his affection to FL. However, he’s also possessive, overprotective and gets jealous easily. In the world of drama/manga/anime for the younger audience, these red flags are probably all considered romantic green flags. I am just a tad old to be totally absorbed into this romantic fluffiness. FL is sweet and shy but not much of a pushover (thank goodness). The acting of both leads is pretty good. I enjoy the more natural acting instead of the overly dramatic anime-like acting.

I probably would enjoy this more if I were a teenage girl. You will probably enjoy it if you are younger than me, or young-at-heart. I chose this drama to relax my brain and have some mindless fun….and I achieved this goal. But objectively, this drama is very average.
