Takane no Hana-san (2021)

Ok, let's start with the things I liked:

The Cast
I've watched this because of Izumi Rika, and she didn't let me down at all: she's the very definition of GORGEOUS, and she did a very good job portraying the schizophrenic FL! But the rest of the cast did well too. with a particular praise for Kanon.

The "Packaging"
Music, photography, directing, editing...in a word, the "packaging", was absolutely OK.

On the other hand, I'm not a big fan of the premise, sorry - way too absurd and even a little disturbing, honestly (I mean the fact that the FL is attracted by a ML who is made to look and behave like a primary school kid - seriously, the only thing missing was the yellow cap, and the illusion would've been complete! With inverted sexes, I could only imagine the sh*tstorm it would've provoked!!! >__<)
But this is not to criticize the writer too much, as at least he took that silly premise and made a decent drama out of it, with a script that, albeit not being perfect, still had its moments (some very funny scenes, and some surprisingly deeper ones).

All in all, not a masterpiece, allright, but definitely an enjoyable watch just the same!

Not as annoying as i thought

The main character is really cool and beautiful. But her inner thoughts are childish and cute. At times i thought she would be annoying but the plot is just the right amount.

I didnt expect to watch this in 1 day, but it got me hooked to see how the relationship ends up.

Not really a love quadrilateral, the main male character is not tall, handsome, but he is likeable andore likeable than the 2nd main which is better looking. So i was rooting for him as he is geeky and loves to read manga. Is bad at his job but tries really hard.

The main actress does not say her true thoughts and her insults are funny. Worth a watch!
