Tokyo Alice (2017)

This drama was unique because it follows the life of not just one person but of four of them. These four women are best friends and they each get their own love line. They teach us to stay true to the hopes and dreams of when we were younger. They also teach us the importance of friendship and unconditional love. I like how we get a glimpse into all of their lives and get to see how their love lines develop. Without saying too much, be prepared for a huge bomb in the middle of all of this. It was a jawdropper for me. I was pleasantly surprised that the writers added this into the story because it's not talked about a lot, especially in conservative cultures.

I do wish they gave more screen time to Rio and Mizuho. I feel like their storylines were rushed towards the end. Mizuho, I felt like had a lot of potential to be a great character and I wish she didn't always get the bad end of the stick. No matter how much I looked at it I couldn't help but feel like Rio didn't get a proper ending. Other than that I loved this drama.

Fu and Okuzono were a cute couple. Sometimes I felt like she acted a little too young, but I think Okuzono's mature side balances out this part of her. Like she said while they are complete opposites of each other and have different tastes in manga/anime (lol) she can't help but love him. Sometimes love isn't logical and sometimes we find it with the person we least expect. I laughed out loud when she did her "most embarrassing pose." XD I think she learned her lesson to just be herself when it comes to relationships. That's what I love about this drama. It teaches us that what works for one couple might not work for another so just be yourself.

Enjoji/Hiyama couple. What can I say? Lol. They were a HOT couple. Enjoji and her escapades were refreshing and, to be frank, a little exciting to watch. Their storyline can only be described as a girl trying to get the attention of a man who shows zero interest in her. You can tell Hiyama has a lot of fun messing with her because of this. It's like a cat and mouse game between these two. Can she catch him in the end? I went in expecting to like Fu and Okuzono's relationship the most but found myself rooting for Enjoji and Hiyama in the end.

Overall, I'd give it a 9/10.

Very underwhelming, I expected too much out of it and it turned out to be a complete lame story!
The story is supposed to be mature but I have found zero relatable points to real life, more like teenagers cosplaying as adults and concerned about sex only!

As for the characters, I disliked how they lacked consistency, characters would suddenly pop out a trait that didn't exist in them initially without any reasonable development turned me off a couple of time, and especially the heroine where every logic and consistency were dropped while shaping her!
DEAR GOD! Fu was so annoying and childish it made it difficult to watch the drama, every scene of her felt like an extended slow and silent movie with the boredom and annoyance that comes with it! Enjouji also lacked logic in her story, while I like her story the most, some of her actions were as annoying as Fuu.

The whole drama is written poorly, the ideas, scenes, touching moments are all scattered around that it doesn't make any sense at all, I hoped it would get better towards the end but it was bitter that I dropped it!!
