Well, I had high expectations and I actually enjoyed this series for the most part.The thing is they made it so simple, yet so bland, I can't even wrap my head around it.
Story: the reasoning behind the concept is interesting! A woman lose her memories about the previous 3 months; she finds out she has completely changed in comparison to what she remembers of herself, personality and outside appearances wise. Everything has changed: from her body to her style and even her apartment is different.
Now she's got an ex-boyfriend/roommate which she knows NOTHING about. Also, the woman has a special friendship with another man (they are childhood friends).
It's a simple triangle story, okay? I don't need to post any spoiler about this, except it's not an actual triangle and even though you're wishing for an happy ending, the last episode is kinda dull.
Acting: first, I love Otani Ryohei ? he can be a tree in the next drama, I'd still love him. The lead actress isn't so bad, but she's a tad annoying, and Yuki, well... i can't hate him, but he's always the same character! I'm kind of tired of this rigid, straight-faced, fish eyed man he has to be in every single drama/movie.
This time around I saw some smiles here and there, but really... I can't feel a thing coming from him. Maybe it's a cultural barrier, but honestly... I watch pretty much ONLY asian dramas and I feel nothing when he acts. I don't hate him, I swear. I wish he was more soulful.
I feel bad to say this was not worthy of my time, since I enjoyed it and didn't drop it, but the ending is so predictable, dull, boring and this ruins pretty much everything. Even though it's not a masterpiece to begin with, it's still a decent drama if you're looking for some romance to pass the time.

To be honest, I don't even know why I expected this to be a great drama.
First of all, the plot is so bland and silly but I was hoping that they were going to use it and make it interesting. And I all get was disappointment.
The story has the popular cliché of the "ugly girl" who doesn't care about her looks, that is almost 30 and still single. And the handsome guy who wants to help her change and love herself. Is not that clichés are bad, I think it's the way they used them that is wrong and made the story so pointless. I was hoping that the amnesia cliché will fix those things but it didn't; actually, the fact that they didn't even explained the amnesia thing is one of the things that made everything in the story pointless.
Still, it had a few good things. Th first four chapters got me into the drama and made my expectations come really high. I was fascinated by the idea of this woman living with a handsome (kind of) man under the same roof. I expected a lot of action and chemistry between those two. And I felt dissapointed again.
As a summary: If it wasn't 10 episodes long, I would probably dropped it.

a woman losing her memory but it's not fantasy or melodrama, just a simple romance
it's make you want to know the end, what's happening to her and if it's going to be sad or whatever!
every episode was a jam and live you wanting to watch the next episode. so i didn't stop myself watching this until it come to the middle.
the first half is good because it make you identified with the character, even if it upseting to see someone so patetic (the main role leading charecter) there are some scenes that you feel this into your face.
Right in the middle Rolling downhill very fast it's become a melodrama , you even don't understand the action behind the main charecter .(playing
Furukawa Yuki)..you ask yourself if he isn't such a great actor or is it just the charecter?! he's looking like a human doll so you kinda forgive him, But his acting and the character combination didn't make any sense,
Also the main actress Nakamura Anne..she isn't so convincing to me , she deosn't look and speak like geek even if she's dress like one...
Ithink it could have been better and the storyline had a potential but it's ruined in the middle for some reason they have tried to make it longer maybe as it should and be "sophisticated" like combine triller with simple drama romance , go figure..i don't understand the writers mind,
Also something was off with all the decision of Otani Ryohei...no depth to his confusing behavor
The end live me with regret i even started watching this...it was aweful and i almost forgoten what is all about
